Hi, my garden has an overgrown patch in it which looks to have been a flower patch many moons ago but we have not really had time to do anything which it as yet and it is quite overgrown now. It is also home to two tree stumps, I would like to do something with it but I don't really have a lot of time for maintenance and would like something that will look nice all year but is also suitable to be in the garden with my young children. Would mint be any good? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
