Now that we are getting on a bit, our garden is becoming too much to handle with it's lawns, fruit trees, bushes and roses. Any ideas on making it more low maintenance?
I don't know what your garden looks like but cutting down the trees or uprooting the bushes will surely decrease the maintenance. If you can hire somebody to maintain it for you then I would advice that.
I know they make a rose bush that is low maintenance and I'm sure you can find trees and shrubs that are low maintenance as well. For the grass, you can look into replacing it with decorative rocks or even fake grass. If you go with an artificial turf it can get pretty expensive so make sure to research your choices.
