Garden in the style of country as if specially designed for those who want to minimize the hassle of maintaining a suburban area. Note: to work with you to create such an object will have, but then you’ll be able to rest on our laurels. Agreed? Then start!
The plots, decorated in a rustic style, can seriously differ from each other, and all because each “national color” — their signs. In the American garden it is large and bright lawns, laid out right in front of the house, verandas with garden furniture and hammocks. In Dutch — a tiny patch of lawn, surrounded by ornamental plants and a huge fruit garden, under the shadow of which hidden outbuildings.
However, in fact, there are a few points, without which the village garden simply will not work:
- First, it is the light negligence of the plan, typical of a truly natural corners, where”the hand of man did not fit.” There are no clearly defined zones and borders, and all the “members of the composition” exist as if by themselves. But practice shows that it is very difficult to create such a natural simplicity.
- Secondly, it is the neighborhood of wild and ornamental plants, and composed in such a way that the color scheme is bright, but — without tiring eyes of diversity.
- Third-no “synthetics” in the decor! For registration of the territory it is possible to use only natural materials — a tree, clay and a stone. And overall the picture is varied and not boring, use old rustic utensils: leaky watering cans, pots and cans, wagon wheel, and even worn out garden tools.
No “synthetics” in the decor!
Tip: the color scheme of the garden in the country style should be rich and cheerful. As a basis, take the yellow, blue and a variety of shades of red.

Having dealt with the General principles, let’s pay attention to the particular, that is, individual objects present in any suburban area. Architectural structures in the village garden never come to the fore. Even the most beautiful house here hidden under the green cover, for example, camouflage scenic waterfront Courtenay of ornamental deciduous trees, shrubs, lilac, or mock orange.
Do not like this option? Use the “green climbers”: maiden grapes will give the facade a dense” cloak”, which with the first frosts of dark emerald will turn into scarlet-purple; Actinidia not only” weave ” openwork Cape for the terrace, but also indulge in delicious and healthy berries, like the reduced fruit of kiwi, and clays effectively bloom the green mass of bright flowers-stars.
Actinidia-a godsend for the summer resident: and design flaws hide, and tasty and healthy fruits pamper.
Well, even if the minimum care of the “living cover” already seems excessive and unnecessary to you — plant a hops, his bumps are also very decorative.
Left: maiden grapes will give the facade a dense “cloak”. Right: beds do both decorative and practical.
Beds make both decorative and practical. Give them an original form, for example-petals, “running up” in different directions from the Central flower bed-circle. Fill these “petals” can be compositions of beans, peas, carrots or beets. As bright accents, use marigolds and calendula, they will protect your crop from pests. Round flower bed in the center of the garden is filled with medicinal and spicy herbs: mint, St. John’s wort, yarrow, sage and thyme in the literal and figurative sense of the word will give the garden the right atmosphere.
Left: Spectacular clematis “tightened” built green blanket, painted with bright rosettes of flowers. Right: Elegant weave — worthy frame beds, flower beds and perennial borders.
Flower beds should keep decorative from early spring to late autumn. Make them on the principle of colorful bouquets of garden herbs, bloomed cheerful and joyful colors. Let in the foreground flaunt primroses, Siberian irises, low bells, the second plan give a tall peonies, daisies, lilies and Phlox, and the rear cover with ornamental grasses and wormwood.
Important: forget about the exquisite varietal plants, tea-hybrid roses, solemn gladiolus and other handsome and beautiful among the cute rustic simplicity will look too pompous.
From shrubs to choose low-key and romantic “characters” palette country garden.
Rustic accents in the garden also needs to be no frills. Give a hint: try to look at the usual items from an unexpected side and come up with new, hitherto unusual role for them.
The more non-standard ideas you implement on the site and the more of your own crafts you add to the design of the garden, the more interesting and lively the surrounding space will become. Let go of your imagination and come up with new incarnations for old pots and buckets, leaky baskets and cracked pots, paint with bright colors barrels for water and sand, arrange on the beds of tin or wooden plates with the names of the plants living here.
Left: old barrels, buckets and other unnecessary dishes in the right hands will turn into miniature flower beds, located on different levels. Right: romantic shrubs.
From the old wheels of a huge cart make a flower garden, planted by sectors of flowering and decorative leaf perennials and rusted wheelbarrow fill the ground and turn into a mobile flower bed, which can be moved around the site as much as you want and anywhere.
