Can we achieve a special garden with hardly any maintenance? The truth is that there are several options that can help us do this. From growing to adding pieces of art or elements based on sustainability. For example, one of the things we can do is cover the garden or patio with planters and pots. The objective of the first proposal is that the plants do most of the work by themselves, that they do not need pampering, defend themselves from pests and diseases and do not require frequent pruning. This can only be done by hardy, but non-invasive, species that are highly adapted to the site. Choose between and that withstand the heat better.
On the other hand, we can choose to have a grass meadow with seasonal shrubs and flowers. It will be a very tender and delicate garden image, which will only occasionally ask for a review, with herbaceous flowering plants. Of spontaneous multiplication, annual and perennial, they will surprise you every spring with a new composition and whose laws only they know. However, there are other equally simple ways to conceive an outstanding garden that you should also know, such as vertical gardens.
You can also include with both artistic and scenic lines, which helps accentuate the expressiveness of the garden. The inclusion of artistic works, such as sculptures or paintings, or exclusive pieces designed to measure, such as pergolas, fountains constitute true pieces of art in themselves, reflect their perfect combination. In addition, landscaping and art constantly feed off each other, serving each other as a source of inspiration. The best? That this type of pieces of art or furniture do not need the maintenance that plants do.
There are also complementary actions that can enhance the sustainable characteristics of our garden, such as measuring the carbon footprint of each project. This allows the design of a garden capable of counteracting the emission of gases, thanks to the choice of certain species with greater foliage that absorb more CO2, or the reduction of the grass surface to reduce water consumption. Do you already know what technique to choose to have a garden without equal and that does not demand much? We leave you with the 22 best ideas so you do not have to worry (almost) about your garden.

GARDEN WITH ART
Hearst“If you have a garden next to your library, you won’t lack anything.” This phrase of the philosopher Cicero reflects the perfect convergence between art and gardens. The purpose of any self-respecting exclusive garden should be to bring together art and nature to create beauty. Landscaping, which is considered as the art that plans, designs and preserves gardens, is capable of transforming a natural space as if it were a blank canvas. Garden designed by Fernando Pozuelo.
PHILOSOPHICAL GARDEN
HearstPhilosophy: As reflected in the book Jardinosofía by the philosopher Santiago Beruete, gardens are not only a material construction, but also an intellectual creation. A large number of philosophers and intellectuals have found inspiration and refuge in these spaces, representing a privileged context for the practice of philosophy, encouraging the transmission of thoughts and knowledge.

HearstIf we want a garden to become an exclusive space that becomes part of the family legacy, we must give it its own personality that reflects the essence of its owner and reflects their tastes and needs in that natural environment. “A garden is a vital, moral and social work, where art, philosophy and sustainability come together meticulously, to offer its owner a faithful reflection of his personality, in which he can feel reflected and that emanates with his essence,” says Fernando Pozuelo.
