Sel-sufficient garden

[Sue56]

Can anyone give me some ideas of plants/shrubs etc that are pretty self-sufficient and don't need much attention. We have a house in 56 and as we don't live there need plants which will do ok on their own. Obviously wont be there to water them either.

Thanks.

Plant in September/October then you won't need to water. Once the winter is over they should all be established and not need watering. Plant bulbs, perennials and shrubs and voil, instant garden.
