Whether you have a tiny patio, a giant garden, or just a window box in a city flat, investing in a few pots and some easy-care plants will make all the difference to your outside space. You don't need to be green fingered to do this. Buy hardy plants that don't need too much attention. Cacti are designed to thrive in desert conditions, so they'll definitely live through a Summer even if you forget to water them.
