A garden is just about every home owner’s dream and is also considered a symbol of social status. Yes, gardens look serene and beautiful, but they also are a big responsibility. And, we do not say so figuratively! Keeping your garden green, and beautiful all year long, means you need to invest time to water the plants, mow your lawn, and rid the weeds, and yes keep the garbage away from your blooming flowers.

But, if you are someone who does not have much time to devote to your garden, or are clueless on how to maintain it, worry not! Since there is a garden idea for everyone and for you too! Here is a list of 15 really simple yet beautiful garden ideas for the busy lot out there. They require very little maintenance and make a beautiful haven for you to relax without having to spend hours pruning the greens.

1. With natural materials

If you want to give your garden a great impression, and without paying its way too much attention, you should pick natural materials in shades of green and brown. This will give a surreal feel and represent the freshest and vivaciousness of the grass and trees without having to cover the whole place.

2. With planters

Looking for an easy way out? Pick planters! They are a rather simple way to take care of your plants and make a perfect garden too. It is also easier to remove unwanted plants, shift the plants and maintain your garden better when you use planters. Build planters in concrete to achieve a more organised feel and look. You can also buy smaller planters to throw in some colour and liven up your garden. The market is flooded with attractive planters in different sizes, shapes and designs to give your garden a creative edge.

3. Desert Garden

If you are someone who tends to forget watering your plants, then choose plants that need zero maintenance. Wondering what we are talking about? Cactus thrives without much water and lend your garden a green look. You will never have to worry about them dying if you forget to water them every day. But, do make sure you give them some water every now and then.

4. Minimalist

This garden idea is easy to implement and has regal feel. The experts at homify suggest you throw in a tree in the center of minimalist patio, and use natural tones to transform your patio into a small lil garden that is easy to care for.

5. Pots that bring personality

These large circular planters are an excellent choice for large gardens. But, if you have a small patio, go in for pots lest your patio will look crowded and cramped.

6. Combining space

8. Take it to the walls

Simple is beautiful. Plant trees as close to the wall as you can, and throw in some conceptual art on the wall behind. And, what do you get? A treat to the eyes that is easy to maintain.
