>Flower gardens take a considerable effort
only if they are manicured, like your pic
pic rel would be native wildflowers
you can order them cheaply online or some local non profit might give them out for free
(I funded a small club in my hometown myself, we give out wildflower seed packets on the main pedestrian street for free on some weekends and lobbied the city to plant more native flowers instead of dead, foreign grass)
a wildflower meadow is really easy to care for
>throw out seed in early spring (depending on the mix)
>water once (but you don't have to)
>don't do anything until Autumn
>mow once
>repeat in the next year
it's that easy
and you get plenty of wildlife
