    @Takethedogalong @Bakers2 @heddlo - thank you all for your suggestions and the time you have taken over them! Just goes to show how dim I am when it comes to plants🙄. Lots of ideas there for us to think about. We do actually already have bamboo in the garden - by the pond - but I'm told it's a non-invasive variety and it certainly hasn't spread very much at all and it must have been in for over 10 years. I have to say that I am leaning towards @heddlo's suggestion of colourful shrubs - the 'low maintenance' bit being most appealing! Thanks, once again to you all.

    Yes, some great ideas, and you do need a lot of time and effort for certain layouts. Sadly something I have plenty of time for at home at the moment☹️My garden is what keeps me going at times. I have 13 borders/flower beds at the moment, some are only small but do have a few really big/long ones, I take each one at a time to keep top side of, but the tidying, weeding prevention is ongoing.

    Keep an eye on that bamboo🫣
