Lawn or Garden

A garden/lawn with a more or less large lawn area demands the least attention. Once the lawn has been established, the need for care stays within reasonable limits-leaving much time for lazing. By using lawn in combination with borders, you achieve maximum gardening pleasure with minimum expenditure of effort. However, since a homogeneous green lawn surface can quickly become boring, you should play with the shape of the lawn. Standing or curving edges are more interesting than straight edges. A tree or large shrub, arbor, pergola, or sculpture provides an interesting focal point.
