First, We look to the ancient landscape for our inspiration.
If its a new estate you live on look over the wall.
Then look at what plants are available and especially
species that grow locally and grows in a form that looks natural to your area.
In Ireland we still find floras of people related plant
species that have existed for 7000 years, that's really low maintenance
gardening! 7000 years after the construction of ancient fort and sacred
place we find wild species still growing. wild strawberries and wild raspberry at entrances
of ring forts. Herbal, animal fodder and edible root still after thousands
of years can be found on or very near many undisturbed ancient
sites.
