A garden does not have to demand constant attention to look good. Choosing plants suited to Lanzarote’s climate can make outdoor spaces easier to manage while keeping them full of life.
A beautiful garden and a busy lifestyle do not always seem like an obvious combination. For residents who spend time away from Lanzarote, or simply want more time enjoying their outdoor space and less time maintaining it, plant choice can make a significant difference.
Lanzarote’s dry and hot climate places particular demands on gardens. Flower Power Garden Centre has spent years focusing on plants able to cope with those conditions, drawing on experience gained since the business began advising customers in 2006.
Among the options available are cacti and succulents, which can be particularly suitable for people looking for plants that do not require a great deal of time. The garden centre also stocks flowers, herbs, olive trees, mature plants and other varieties in different sizes.
For anyone unsure which plants to choose, the display garden can be a useful source of inspiration. Rather than looking at individual plants in isolation, visitors can see possible combinations and observe how different plants develop. Flower Power‘s team can also explain the appropriate treatment for the plants on display.
Low maintenance does not mean a garden has to be lacking in character. Ceramic pots and planters can add height and structure, while volcanic rocks and picón can be used to create contrasts and define different areas. Pots also make it possible to introduce planting to patios, terraces and homes without traditional gardens.
For larger spaces, Flower Power‘s trained landscape gardeners can help with consultation, planning and design. Gardens of all sizes can be created according to individual wishes and the property’s microclimate, with planting and natural materials brought together as part of the design.
There is also help available for gardens that already exist. Flower Power‘s maintenance service covers fertilising, weed and pest control, pruning, contour cutting and supervision of automatic irrigation systems. A maintenance schedule can be arranged around individual requirements.
This can be particularly useful for property owners who are not on the island all year. Flower Power‘s gardeners can look after the garden while the owner is away and provide updates by email.
As September brings more opportunities to enjoy outdoor spaces with family and friends, it is worth considering whether a garden is working as hard as it needs to. The right plants, sensible design and a manageable maintenance routine can help create an outdoor area that remains enjoyable without becoming a constant task.
