Established garden with a new owner who has little knowledge, looking for advice and tips to care it
I have recently purchased a house with a well established garden.
Looking to find out how much work maintaining it will be and to identify what I will need to do, so the garden stays looking good. Advice on improvements would go a long way also.
I’ll post up pictures tonight / in the morning so I can get help identifying what I have first. Then what I will need to try and keep on top of it all.

I have no idea about half of the basic info I need to establish about the Garden but points all noted and I will need to look into learning that information for sure.
The Garden is an L shape and I believe the front is south and the back is North as the roof has moss at the back. But with the L part of the garden it would be running east to west with only natural shaded areas from trees / large hedges.
I’ll attach a few pictures of plants and hopefully once they are identified then I can decide if they are getting cut back or cut out as some are starting to over grow.
What are both of these and when can I cut back or maintain it before they get over grown?
Most of the flowering plants seen, I’m assuming will come back each year? The rest is just ground cover and bush to prevent weeds?
I like most of what I see here, might get moved around if possible, looking for tips and advice with these, of course again what they are.
Ground cover? Will this need maintained, Cut back etc. Flower, Will they go out of control if left to their own?
What were the flowers in the top picture, don’t think I seen them flower to know if they are nice?
I'd just tackle one bit at a time.
Just cutting the grass and sharpening the edges with a half moon would make a huge difference and then you could stand back and decide which bit you're going attack first.
The second photo posted at the same time, the plants at the front are irises. Looks like they could do with lifting and dividing, they like to get "baked" in the sun.
