In this article we will talk about the design of the garden plot. What are the design styles of garden plots?
- Japanese style, which is expressed in the harsh brevity of the landscape.
- Chinese style, where everything is subject to the philosophy of Feng Shui.
- Country-rustic style, where there is no place any exotic.
- Colonial style, where there is natural wood and elegant masonry.
- English style (landscape), the motto of which is the naturalness of the natural landscape.
- Forest style, similar to the landscape, but assumes the presence of huge areas.
You can choose one or another style to design a garden plot with your own hands, to get acquainted with the relevant literature, to do everything yourself or to attract specialists — the choice is yours. But the peak of design art in creating a landscape-the restoration of natural harmony on the site and at the same time – the expression of their own individualism.
The essence of the garden plot design
Some believe that the beauty of the natural landscape is in the flower beds, and planted with flowers all the free space in the country. Beautiful, no doubt, but the aesthetics of the composition is completely absent. After all, the essence of landscape design is not that we will plant many beautiful plants at once, but how we will be able to group and combine them together. And with such a landing, even beautiful pink bushes are lost… Here in this photo is clearly represented by a successful grouping (composition) of garden flowers.
And now I present to you a few practical tips for the arrangement of the design of the suburban area, which will change its appearance beyond recognition.
We close the soil with a lawn
All free from landings and buildings of the area covered with lawn.
<Ñ€2>Originally we group plants</Ñ€2>
Ornamental plants should not be planted in separate groups throughout the site. It is desirable to group them in stand-alone compositions, emphasizing the elegance of combinations of beautiful border. Borders in garden design can be very different: from boards, stone, plastic or any suitable improvised material, without the case vegetating in your yard. And the grouping of plants is boundless creativity where you give an unlimited scope of your imagination.
You can, for example, arrange a decorative garden on a flower bed, planting vegetables along with flowers. For example, in the center of the garden-flower beds place tomatoes and cucumbers, pre-digging supporting their bars, and around the vegetable crops planted beautiful flowers: irises, periwinkle, nasturtium and others. The size of the flower beds-beds should be small — so that you are free to get to the bushes with tomatoes and cucumbers. You can plant a beautiful pumpkin on a flower bed surrounded by dolphins, tulips and freesias or beets next to marigolds and forget-me-nots.
Use the potential of climbing plants
The most unfortunate background for decorative plantings is the bare soil between them. But we have coped with this by planting a beautiful lawn. And what to do with piles of construction waste, unsightly boxes for compost, from which well you can not get rid of? Not necessary, just mask all the necessary ugliness climbing plants. In the same way it is possible to disguise an unpainted wall of a country house, to decorate an arbor, a verandah and other constructions.
In addition, equip those places that require background, beautiful climbing plants: vines, vines, ivy, curly hydrangea, thunbergia and other. Especially impressive look climbing plants located on pergolas and canopies.
And if you have a cottage there are dead trees that need to uproot, think, and do you need it? Cut it, leaving a stump height 1-1.5 m, and give this stump decorative curly perennials. Over time, they form a beautiful composition that looks very good against the background of the surrounding flower garden with a low border of mosaic.
