Hi, I have recently moved into a new house and have a small front garden which at the moment just has grass in it. Ideally I would like to plant maybe some sort of bush (in each corner, or to grow all the way round) which would not need much looking after/grow too high and preferably look nice all year round (maybe I am asking the impossible!) I've never had a garden before and not sure about any of this. Has anybody any suggestions, or any advice they can give to somebody who has never gardened before in their life. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance..

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I too have a small front gardenand we have put in a plant which has grown into a bush which we keep in a rounded shape. It looks good all year, and it is quite a bright greeny/yellow in summer, it is easy to keep in shape but will grow quite fast, it is dead easy to take cuttings from, in fact when my husband cuts it, if a bit falls on the flower bed and gets missed in the clearing up it will take root, we have actually got another growing next to our main plant. They are quite cheap to buy as well. This is a link to info and a picture of the plant http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant _pages/501.shtml
