8. Ground cover and small plants (windy rural)
The term 'ground cover' is used to describe plants that are generally low growing and which have a vigorous spreading habit to discourage weeds. Being low lying they are much more wind tolerant. Growing naturally in windy areas, plants such as heathers, alpines and grasses make reliable choices in an exposed garden.
