NC I prefer threads not to be linked
Last year I moved to a property that has a number of mature shrubs, hedges, flowers. My problem is I am not a gardener and have absolutely no idea what all the different 'items' are or how to care /manage them.
I do know I have
I have a grass plant that is starting to take over one area, the plant has reeds this year that we're not there last year.
Wisteria that had some very small flowers but not many
Peruvian Lillie's I think the seller mentioned
Roses
Acacia tree
Others I am not sure on but definitely look intentional and some that could be weeds.
Its starting to look very unkempt
Does anyone have any advice on how I can start to understand the garden? I have tried googling but depending on what I read the advice / instructions seem conflicting (or I dont understand). and if anyone has any knowledge on the above I would much appreciate it 🙏
Before it is suggested I have tried to get a gardener. First ended up being essentially 2 kids who openly admitted they just cut remove anything I tell them to, and the the other who has signage etc basically just cuts the grass (occasionally trims hedges). Everything else seems to be left, and when I ask he doesn't seem to know anything, so I would say he is probably isnt actually a gardener but just making money from the bits he does.
