Not A Gardener - HELP

AfterDark

Looking for some advice on flowers to plant in my garden, which require very little or no care. Never been green fingered and not a gardener. Not long moved to a house with a garden and am clueless what to plant as all the pretty ones that was here when I moved in has died over the winter. Any advice would be great as I have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to gardening, Thanks

First of all wait - because some of the plants (with any luck) will come back again in the spring. I mean "hardy perennials" they come back year after year and die down in the winter. There may also be some bulbs like daffodils that will start showing thru soon.

Once you've got a good idea what you've got in the garden, then start thinking about what else you want to do.

Thats just what I thought, most gardens look barren at this time of year, but it dosn't mean these nothing there. They just die back until the spring then grow again

I suspect alot of those pretty ones are still there

I know its hard but have you any idea at all what they were, or can you remember what they looked like?

Erm they looked sort of mediterranean, there like bushes sort of style but not bush'ey sort of like a palm tree but with long strips for the bush which looked like huge blades of grass. Sorry not very good at discribing them. At the moment there brown dead lumps in the garden, no idea what anything else looked like.

We have lots of hardy perennials in our garden, plus many deciduous (sp) and evergreens, we tried to make it so that it had character all year around, and this year, for the first year, around our pond still has lots of life, and the front garden still looks welcoming.
