Tips for a no time garden
When you first plant a ‘no time’ garden, everything will need watering. And if the weather stays dry, new plants will need watering until they are established. If you don’t want to bother doing it by hand, it pays to lay down a watering system. Porous pipes can be snaked between plants, and if connected to an outdoor tap with a water timer will turn on and off automatically. Cover the bed with a mulch of bark chippings when you have finished which, as well as covering the pipe, will also stop the water from evaporating.

Summary
It is possible to create a labour-saving garden that looks great throughout the year. If you find you have more time at a later date it will be easy to add additional plants to the basic design. Select plants that will give the greatest reward, such as those that will flower for a long time or those which provide interest throughout the year.
