How to separate the yard from the garden. Making a decorative garden in the garden with your own hands
A beautiful courtyard of a private house often does not arise from an excess of fantasy or Money, but from the need to solve specific problems and embody the owners' vision of what kind of yard will be convenient and pleasant for them.
So, behind the fabulous flower curtain often hides the unsightly wall of the neighbor's barn.
And the lush flowering of rose bushes near the fence is intended for maximum visual expansion spaces of a tiny garden. 
In a small yard, even a garden should carry its own aesthetic load.
How to plan a beautiful courtyard of a private house.
This small beautiful courtyard of a private house began with such a gravel area in front of the house. Which was intended only for parking two cars and small flower beds on the side. It's hard to imagine here beautiful garden in any form.
The total area of this plot in front of the house is 2.5 acres. Because In the beginning there were attempts to combine the garden with the parking lot and they were unsuccessful, it was decided to cut the garden as such with the parking lot. Looks like this new layout site. 
Near the house, on the one hand, there is a paved area, which is fenced off from the parking lot with a fence with a gate, on the other hand, it is planned small vegetable garden and behind it a garden. In the garden, on the left side, in order to raise the fence as high as possible, an artificially raised small terrace is planned.
Design of the courtyard of a private house. Parking lot.
This is how the equipped new parking lot looks like from the side of the street in the courtyard of this private house. Ahead is the entrance to the house, on the right is the entrance to the garden, on the left are the neighbors.
In order to make a reliable cover on the platform for cars, which would not come into dissonance with the general landscape design of the garden, it was decided original solution- build decorative fence between the parking lot and the garden. Cinder block fence, concrete plaster on top. In order not to look too massive, it has windows with flower boxes. From the side of the street, this fence will continue with a decorative forged fence. From the side of the courtyard near the fence, in front of the entrance to the house, a gate is planned. Also in the fence is planned a gate for access to the garden.
View of the parking lot after completion of work. The entrance to the garden was decorated with an arch of weaving roses. Also, rose bushes grow throughout the entire fence, they are complemented by perennial ornamental grass and flowers in containers.
Fences.
View of the fence from the side of the street (parking for cars on the left). In order to give the flower beds above the fence more decorativeness, natural stone was used. Flower boxes perfectly complement the overall landscape design of this piece of yard.
From the side of the street, the fence will be forged (the standards of this area do not allow building a solid fence from the side of the street). For privacy next to the fence from the garden side will be planted garden creepers and ornamental bushes.
A small flower bed with regularly repeating groups of flowers harmonizes perfectly with the clear rhythmic design of the fence itself.
It looks like a fence between neighboring plots.
In that part of the yard where there is a desire to communicate with neighbors, a chain-link mesh is used for the fence, along which weaving roses rise.
Garden.
Little beautiful vegetable garden- the highlight of this yard.
As we remember, the entire site was paved with gravel, so before starting work, they raked the gravel and installed a frame for a small greenhouse at the end of the beds.
Using garden borders, we formed a form for four beds, covered the beds with soil.
In the corner of each bed, a large flower pot was installed - flowers will grow there, which will add some color to the green bed.
The paths between the beds were beautifully paved with narrow blocks of brick-like paving slabs and covered with gravel
The garden turned out no worse than a flower bed!
A small beautiful courtyard of a private house.
The design of the courtyard of this private house actively uses a variety of materials for garden paths in order to create new interesting textures and interesting effects. 
Those paths that are used more often are paved with a flat paving slabs, playground near the gazebo - tiles bigger size and a different shade, and cozy paths leading to secluded corners of the garden are made of cobblestone and brick.
A small snow-white arch creates the main accent for the main flower garden with a garden sculpture.
By changing the flowers of this cute girl, you can create a different mood for this corner of the garden.
This beautiful flower bed with sculpture is located on a raised terrace along the fence with a neighboring plot. Here the task was to raise the fence as high as possible. Therefore, in the flowerbed, roses highly weaving along the arch and fence were used to the maximum in combination with ornamental shrubs. BUT garden sculpture harmoniously balanced the size and proportions of this flower bed with the whole garden.
The whole garden is built on a delicate balance of open and closed space, high flower beds with perennials and containers with annuals.
Every corner of the garden is used for flowers - a playground in front of the house, fences, a vegetable garden, a parking lot, and, of course, the garden itself.
In order to make the garden paths look cozier, some of the flowers grow both on the path itself and “go out” to it from the side.
The owners love and know how to work with flowers.
Therefore, their garden collection is annually replenished with new original finds.
In addition to perennials, which form the basic basis of the garden, annuals are actively used in the design of this garden. It is easier to experiment with them and create a fresh new color and compositional solution.
In order for the beautiful courtyard of a private house to become elegant in the spring as early as possible, numerous flower seedlings are grown in a small greenhouse next to the garden.
One of the favorites of last season was ornamental cabbage - unpretentious, elegant. In autumn, when the garden takes a break from the wild whirlwind of colors, ornamental cabbage, which only becomes more beautiful and brighter after the first frost, looks like a real queen of the garden.
Everything that you do in the garden and in the yard with your own hands will delight you every minute. Use non-standard and unexpected approaches to the design and layout of the courtyard of your private house - after all, only you know what you would like to see from the window and how high the fence should be for each neighbor. Enjoy the garden and your right to do whatever you like in it!
Tags: ,Depending on what the house itself is, whether it is individual or a guest house, huge or small, built in a village, a cottage settlement, a historical part of the city or on vast expanses of land measured in tens of hectares, the design of the courtyard of a private house changes. Based on the location of the hacienda, based on the possible use of the land and taking into account your own preferences, you can start planning landscape zones courtyard and the choice of objects decorating them.
Ways to implement the plan:
- on one's own;
- by the masters of a company specializing in landscape work;
- by hired workers who are organized and controlled by the owner of the house.
Each owner has his own house
Bench among a luxurious flower gardenThe location of the household dictates the appropriate requirements for the design of the surrounding area.
| buildings | House in a cottage village | House in the village | House in the historical center | Estate | Country house in gardening |
| Features affecting the design project | Closed area Buildings of the same type Regulated height, transparency and material of the fence (or its absence) Strict requirements for appearance minor buildings on the site | You can choose the style according to your desires, but build, be sure to comply with technical standards If the appointment land plot LPH, then utility buildings in the yard are allowed | It is forbidden to violate urban planning norms, urban development plan Its appearance should correspond to the existing image of the city | Fulfillment of any fantasy, limited only by available means | Small area for recreation and garden work. Due to the minimum space, planning of mini-zones of the landscape of the yard is envisaged |
In addition to the above features, each type of private house has characteristics that affect the main design decisions when developing a zonal landscape project for a courtyard area.
Layout of private areas
The styles most often used in the design of the courtyard of any private house are English landscape, japanese garden, French regular, Mediterranean, Russian estate style, as well as “domestic”, free from all signs of time, i.e. eclecticism, a combination of various elements. When implementing the landscape design of your property, there is no need to maintain the style completely, you can limit yourself to just a few tricks, “throw” a stylistic veil over the object.
No matter how you arrange the house (it is recommended to plan the construction of the main building so as not to obscure the garden area), it is still the center of the courtyard. Aspire to him walking paths, driveway, other buildings of the estate are tied. Each of the elements should correspond to the main building on the site, emphasize it, present the author's design of the courtyard of a private house in the best possible way to the guest's eyes.
All private property can be divided into three large areas, according to their purpose. These include: a place of rest, an area bordering the main house, a green area with outbuildings.
More about landscape design zones
The recreation area can be divided into a place of pastime for the active part of the family, the sector " summer cuisine”and a corner of relaxation, a relaxing holiday. The first includes a gazebo, children's Corner(sandbox, swing, ladder), tree house, playground. The second is barbecue, barbecue, furnace complex. The third unites a pond, a bath complex, shady corners of the garden: an openwork bench for book lovers under a tall tree, summer house creative retreat. They should be decorated with flowerpots that support the overall garden color scheme. The combination of color, peace and aroma - this is the rest in a country house.
The "green" zone includes a garden, an orchard, hedges from berry bushes. It should be located away from the entrance to the site to minimize roadside dust and exhaust smoke on the plants. Outdoor outbuildings can be solved in rural or fabulous styles. A fad that has become fashionable among absolutely urban residents is a chicken coop for layers, made according to original project, decorate the site. And the cellar - Bilbo's hobbit house with an earthen grass roof - will allow you to show your creative imagination.
Sometimes it is recommended to do green roof"Pseudo-herbal", replace the freezing grasses, which require a significant earthen layer, fertilizing, regular watering, with drought-resistant creeping succulents, undersized stonecrops. These plants create a spectacular voluminous carpet that does not require special care.
The adjoining territory, consisting of a front entrance zone (entrance group, parking, garage, gate) and a plot adjacent to the house on the reverse side, is business card owners. It is very important not only what is behind the fence, but also what others see when approaching the house. A paved driveway, an attractive fence, a beautiful mailbox on a gate or stone fence post, blooming bindweeds- everything creates an atmosphere of a benevolent, hospitable home, pleases the eyes of neighbors, arouses the admiration of people passing by.
The private side implies an exit from the house to the garden, the presence of a patio where groups of forged or wicker furniture are placed, alpine slide Or a man-made fountain. Plan the design of the yard so that the living room window, the central room in the house, has a beautiful view. Looking at the garden changing from season to season - snow-covered, blooming, bright autumn - every time you will admire the creation of your own hands.
Special objects of a large-scale estate
When designing a large space, the priorities of the owners, the direction of their activities, and hobbies are taken into account. On the territory of the estate, stables, alleys for riding and walking, a garden, a park with woody massifs connected by lawns stand out as special zones. For owners, their adult children, service personnel several buildings are provided far from each other. Other buildings - a garage that houses a collection of vintage cars, a pseudo-barn as a place for an art gallery, a belvedere on a hill that allows you to view the surroundings, an indoor pool, a winter greenhouse - reflect the hobbies of the owners. A tennis court, a football field, a mini-golf course, a boat pier, extensive reservoirs looped with canals, with and transitions connecting individual corners of the estate can also be planned.
In addition to large objects, a large space must be saturated with "highlights", corners where it is interesting to look, and once there, you will not want to leave. A gazebo entwined with grapes, a white statue in a thicket of blooming jasmine, a deck chair behind a vegetable curtain where you can hide from your family, feel the taste of solitude, merging with nature.
As a special decorating technique on the territory of a large estate, it is interesting to use signs with the names of routes, designed based on the style of the overall design. This is organizationally correct, and in addition, it will allow you to play Find Me with guests.
garden fun
Let's pay a little more attention to the design of the "green" zone of a private house. A favorite in garden design recent years there was a regular kitchen garden, a replica of the French royal gardens. In addition to the aesthetic impression, this option for arranging a garden area is convenient when caring for and working in it. Paved paths, high borders bordering the beds, symmetry, clear lines, proportions make it almost perfect. Plant objects planted as if on a ruler, necessarily ranked by growth, the configuration of bushes, supported by annual formative pruning, fruit trees on trellises - all this makes the garden mathematically harmonious, visible in different planes with a pronounced amount of detail. And the lush colors of garden vegetation smooth out the impression of a soulless standard, introducing the seething of life.
Regular planning well organizes a garden of minimum dimensions. Well-calculated space required for each plant, high or stepped beds, flatly distributed branches of fruit trees occupying less space, tight fit vegetable crops make it possible to realize all desires, to show an unlimited flight of fancy in a limited area.
The complete opposite of the regular one is a free-style garden, where different plants are mixed, and their presence is determined only by desire. Following the principle “dear to my heart”, rose bushes, ornamental cabbage, marigolds, and potatoes are placed nearby. The garden-garden is separated from other space and the barbarity of domestic animals. And the figure of a funny little man in a wide-brimmed hat can become a guard in front of the gate. An interesting technique is the landing on the brim of a hat in thin layer substrate for succulents that do not require a lot of soil and moisture.
Site lighting - a spectacular design technique
landscape design the yard is not represented without lighting in the dark. At night, the garden and houses take on a different shape, accentuated by the beams of lamps, matched in style and material to general design home territory.
You can organize the illumination of the tracks by laying a network electrical cables, supplying them from the main source of electricity, or provide for the use of completely free solar energy. When using the last option, enchanting bright lighting will not work, but its main function is to ensure the safe movement of people along private paths in evening time- storage batteries will perform properly.
Light can beat a special object of the house adjoining space. Well-thought-out light groups will limit the recreation area around the path, highlight a pond with shining lights on the water surface - a charming sight that attracts like a magnet. To sit on the shore of an illuminated pond, looking at the stars - for the sake of this pleasure, Vacation home, the design of his yard is being thought out.
Previously, garbage cans stood in the place of this green corner, and irresponsible citizens drank strong drinks in the bushes under the balconies. Now, near the house 7a on Pugacheva Street, an exotic flower bed is blooming. Small arboretum in the yard.
“I love flowers very much and there are many different plants in the yard of my private house,” says Alexandra Meshcheryakova, chairman of the quarterly committee of 7-a Pugacheva Street. So here I decided to make a green corner.
Did you decide on your own?
Yes, first by myself. And then I went to the neighbors, offered to break a flower bed near the house, and people supported me. Again, the district administration helped.
Our response to Dutch roses
Alexander Meshcheryakova knows a lot about flowers. I chose the most suitable for the house flower bed. The beauty! The stone jungle can also be green.
So adjoining territory turn into a park. Agree, it is much more pleasant to live in the park than to exist in the stone jungle. No one seems to argue with this, but only a few decide to do something with their own hands, the rest are waiting for the head of the city or district to pass along their faceless street and give instructions on landscaping and landscaping.
What if you don't wait? Then, next to the flowerbed, “their own” orchard will appear, and the courtyard of an ordinary high-rise building will become an example of the most advanced landscape design using fruit-bearing apple trees, pears and cherries as a design idea.
No one interferes with bringing home gardens and orchards to a single architectural style and at the same time provide yourself with fruits and vegetables. Then we will not be afraid of any sanctions.
Where real tomato seigneurs grow
Behind good examples you don't even have to go far. I went to the house of Sochi resident Enver Dzhardanov, in whose private courtyard there is a whole year-round “vegetable production”. While we were sitting near the greenhouses with his wonderful tomatoes, the cows reluctantly returned home. One cow, the second. What to say livestock ideal "fertilizer factory" for vegetables in greenhouses. No chemistry.
“Everything should be natural,” Enver Kazimovich smiled. - Without nitrates.
Then, when we went with the owner through his territory between greenhouse plants, I involuntarily escaped:
- Not tomatoes, but some melons!
The owner was a little confused.
- Melon or melon, but I grew a tomato two hundred kilos. Too bad it didn't make it into the Guinness Book of Records. I just didn't know where to write.
Taking this opportunity, I could not help but ask the professional a question about the quality of imported tomatoes:
— Can you identify an imported tomato?
- Certainly.
“They are very beautiful and very standard. One to one.
— Is it bad?
- Not bad. But these tomatoes have almost no taste. And they don't smell like tomatoes. Smell mine.
Real tomatoes smell like tomatoes. And the standard odorless foreign beauties resemble a plastic still life. To be honest, I forgot the "smell of a tomato" a long time ago. And now I inhaled again this aroma of freshness and living tomato juice. Not ketchup, tea!
“In principle, Sochi vegetable growers used to supply half of the country with tomatoes,” Enver Dzhardanov recalled. - At the Oktyabrsky state farm, for example, there was a huge greenhouse facility. By the New Year, we sent tomatoes to the North, to Moscow, St. Petersburg. Yes, and Sochi residents had the opportunity to eat tomatoes almost all year round ...
I looked at the owner's tomato products. What bizarre faces are sometimes built by adult tomato lords.
“I also want to take up animal husbandry seriously,” said Enver Jardanovich. - Get a loan within the framework of the presidential program. Again, animals will only help grow tomatoes.
The owner cut lettuce from his garden. It took only two of his tomatoes to make a huge bowl. Indeed, the "tomatoes" of these red-cheeked giants handmade it was hard to name. Then I realized what a real fabulous lord Tomato looks like.
Question without an answer
Around Sochi there is a sea of summer cottage gardens. What only amateur gardeners do not produce on them! There are figs and feijoa, apples, pears, plums, kiwi, grapes, and even Adler tangerines.
“More recently, people could make good money on their dacha harvest,” says the owner of a small personal plot Grigory Shulika. - We, for example, grew cherry plum, pears and apples for ourselves and handed over the surplus of our harvest to those Soviet times for very good money. Moreover, part of the harvest could be bartered - in exchange for fertilizers or agricultural equipment ...
Who took the harvest?
- Consumer cooperation was developed in the city and a whole office, Sochi Gorkooptorg, worked. Grigory Grigoryevich recalls. - Summer residents came here and ordered a car for the export and harvest of their crops. We were given containers for harvesting, and a few days later loaders arrived on cooperative transport. They exported the harvest, and then distributed it through a network of their branded co-optorg stores. Naturally, the owner of the crop received decent money for his "pears-apples" or, through barter, the equipment necessary for the farm. Some Sochi residents had enough harvest even for a mini-tractor...
— And handed over only fruits and vegetables?
Why? For example, my father ran a rabbit farm and produced skins. Someone had chickens, nutria, pigs.
In a word, in the history of "Sochi Agriculture" you can find a lot of new things for the current moment and put into practice this well-forgotten old. How not to miss this historic moment?
The economy of our yard will be the answer to this question.

The love of fresh produce has inspired the people of Kitsap to make their homes a little more unique and delicious than others in the area. After all, there is no food fresher than what you grow in your yard.
We are lucky, thanks to our climate, we can grow and harvest almost 12 months of the year,” explains Gail Larson.
Timing is not always easy, but in general we have something to put on the table from our (home) garden all year round.
Larson is a certified horticulturist and knows a thing or two about home gardening. While living in Poolsbo, she turned much of her backyard into a country garden.
It's hard to imagine anything fresher,” says Larson.
You always know what's in them. And it is you who chooses what to use when growing your vegetables and. Well, it's also fun! And then at home, you can grow a wider range of products than what is usually found in grocery stores.
Gail Larson is part of the emerging urban farming movement; a movement that took root in Kitsapa. Homeowners, renters and anyone with access to decent soil in the city or suburbs grow their own food.
If you look at the number of books about growing food in the Northwest, about urban farming, about cascading structures for growing vegetables, it seems to me that their number (and, therefore, public interest) is growing, Larson notes. “The amount and how much vegetation that is planted in spring, autumn, and even winter is also indicative of the growing interest in gardening.
You don't have to look far to see interest in action, Bremerton resident Tami Smith planted her suburban garden shortly after moving to the area.
When I arrived here, I had a lot of land and everything on it was - which I hate, because it's just a waste of free space - I gradually cut off more and more of it, turning it into a vegetable garden, says Tami Smith. - Now I have two large gardens with a lot. I have a friend a few blocks from here who raises bees and chickens and is very much like a farm. They largely eat only from their garden.
To date, Smith has converted part of her property, just under 2000m2, into gardens where she grows edible plants. And she is not alone. Manette has been organizing horticulture meetings for the past two years. The next tour will take place on August 2, where Manette plans to introduce viewers to a wide variety of innovative suburban farms, small and small.
Basically, we all just set up gardens and people come to wander around and get answers to their questions,” says Smith. “Last year, my neighbor built an arched greenhouse, and this year another neighbor of mine, who lives between me and another guy, will also take part in our event. We even have a neighbor who turned his west front yard into a farm.
Of course, this movement is not limited to Manette. Larson lectures on the subject at Edmond Community College, where there is already a roster of interested gardeners eager to learn about home gardening.
Most of the people in my classes are not going to be farmers, they want to be indoor gardeners,” notes Larson. – And this is something that almost anyone can do at home.
Where to begin
Ideally home garden designed to add and provide you with things that get better when you grow them at home. You will never buy one that is as good as the one you can grow at home.
Larson has a couple of sage tips for the aspiring urban farmer, and the first one is “start small.”
Very often you can see small greenhouses or greenhouses that people do not use, or beds with hoops above them, which also stand idle. This is all evidence of how novice gardeners grabbed shovels without completing their task. homework Larson explains. – Start small; make one bed instead of four. Grow a couple of vegetables instead of planting one of each. Get a feel for your garden and let it be comfortable for you.
Smith notes that not every piece of land is suitable for vegetable gardening. Some patios may be too shaded or lack soil.
Many people don't plant a vegetable garden because they live in areas that don't enjoy the sun, but there are lots for rent, and sometimes you can find land that can be rented almost for free. Absence suitable land in the yard of your house should not limit you.
Don't forget potted gardens or herb gardens. And of course, try to keep in touch with other home gardening enthusiasts to help each other and share tips and experiences.
What to grow
There is a wide range plant food, which can be grown in your yard, depending on the light, soil quality and other factors. But some plants are easier to grow than others.
And for shady places, you can pick up beautiful plants - hostas, lungworts, Rogers, tiarellas, primroses, astilbes

It has long been known that adults fruit trees And fruit bushes- apple and pear trees, cherries and plums, irga, gooseberries, red and white currants - are unusually decorative. More and more gardeners are planting them not only in order to be able to pick a berry from a currant or gooseberry bush grown with their own hands and, perhaps, to make preparations for the winter, but also for beauty.
Properly grown vegetables are attractive and elegant. Well-groomed beds are pleasing to the eye. What vegetables are decorative? Healthy plants are always beautiful. You can not only enjoy them, but also admire them.
And even the most "non-gardeners" will not refuse a small garden of herbs, only a few square meters in size, it should be started in any garden, it requires almost no maintenance, decorative and useful, but how nice it is to serve your own grown greens to the table!
It is better to place it near or next to the recreation area; you should not plant greenery in a remote place in the garden.

Layout of the garden and garden: option 1
Before you is a fragment of a large mixborder, visually blocking the view of the traditional garden from the house and recreation area.
Let's take a traditional garden, not decorative, the ridges are stationary, fenced flat slate, neat and comfortable (length 10 m, width 80 cm), the passage between them is 50 cm. sunny place protected from north winds. In the garden, according to all the rules, a three-section was made, water for irrigation is available.
Favorite vegetables in the traditional garden are cabbage and onions. They always succeed. Family onions (its botanical name -) have been grown for a long time, there are many in one nest large bulbs, which are well stored, they taste more tender than onion. Annually, 15 buckets of this onion can be harvested, this is not counting the white and red onions from the Dutch set.
The rights English proverb: "The best of flowers are cabbage flowers." What kind of cabbage is not grown here: cauliflower, kohlrabi, cabbage of three ripening periods - early, medium, late. And my favorite is red. In autumn, poured red-purple heads of cabbage sit on the gray leaves. Not a cabbage - a rose!
A solid neat greenhouse does not irritate the eye, the garden is hidden behind a mixborder. Timely watering and fertilizing, crop rotation, loose fertile soil. Every autumn, a machine of manure is bought, which is laid both in the compost and on the ridges. mineral fertilizer("Kemira-Universal") is also used, but economically - expensive.
If you like growing vegetables and can devote enough time to it, then a greenhouse in the territory of a traditional vegetable garden will bring you a lot of joy. In the greenhouse it is convenient to grow seedlings of vegetables and flowers, to keep heat-loving plants from frost. It can be not only a “closed garden”, but also a cozy refuge for fussing with your favorite plants and even a place for reflection and dreams. But, when starting, do not forget that you need to open it in the morning and close it in the evening, and water the plants daily. It should be equipped only if you have the desire and time to care for the plants.
The traditional garden is separate zone, which certainly needs to be closed from the view from the house, from the gate and the recreation area, because for most of the season (in spring, early summer and after harvesting) it looks unattractive. Here the garden is decorated with a long mixborder, the background of which is occupied by shrubs (turf, columnar thuja, juniper, sumac, weeping mountain ash on a two-meter stem, silver sucker, park roses) And tall perennials(black cohosh, geleniums,). In the foreground - astilbes, daylilies, low perennials, Siberian irises. This lively multi-colored "screen" perfectly copes with its task. Beauty is beauty, but how to get to the garden? This can be done through the arch, which is integral part mixborder.
Often, when thinking about the layout of our garden, we think only about the artistic side of things, believing that beauty and utility exclude each other. As you can see, you can successfully combine both. 
Decorative plants in the garden
Eat in the garden and clean decorative elements, for example, a barberry composition at the entrance to the site. combination of purple and yellow leaves solemn and ornate. under the old fruit trees shadow mixborders are broken, spectacularly looking against the background of a small lawn adjacent to the path. They are inhabited by decorative leafy plants: hostas, lungworts, ferns, brunners, buzulniks, they are comfortable here.
To the left of the entrance to the front garden, large shrubs are planted: chokeberry, lilac, mock orange, spirea, which do not let dust and noise from the road into the house and the plot.
Between the house and the barn there is a living curtain of grapes and yellow-leaved hops, it always looks good, and in autumn it simply shocks with its beauty. After passing through it, we get to the lawn in front of the very mixborder that hides the garden, and we come to a rectangular pond. Another mixborder adjoins the house, the other - to the garage. Carefully select plants according to the timing of flowering and plant according to all the rules, making up your favorite mixborders. 
Layout of the garden and garden: option 2
A decorative garden, the plan of which is a geometric pattern, is elegant and pleasing to the eye. It requires serious investment to create, but digging in the ridge-boxes is practically not needed, the yield in them is always higher, and the vegetables are earlier and more beautiful.
Neat beds look especially decorative if they are next to vegetables, for example, around the perimeter, nasturtium, marigolds or even low roses, ground cover or miniature.
Ornamental garden area orchard occupies about ten acres, exactly half of the site, located on two levels. Decorative garden - the lower level, this part of the site goes well with the house.
Echinacea on the background blue trees in the decorative part of the garden and a pumpkin - autumn decoration ornamental garden, gooseberries are always pretty
Successfully coloristic solution of elegant wooden arches, pergolas, flower beds and balustrades, designed in the same style throughout the site.
Not only traditional fruit crops, such as apple trees, currants, gooseberries, but also varietal mountain ash and viburnum, frost-resistant cherries.
View from the terrace of the house to the area of the ornamental garden.
Growing vegetables is one of the most labor-intensive activities in the garden. The garden needs to be cleaned every year, fertilized, sowed, planted seedlings, watered, weeded. Why fence him? First, in order to obtain the most recent and healthy vegetables. Another reason is economy. You can save some of the vegetables for the winter and make preparations, although for most working citizens this is more of a theory, since you need to be able to grow vegetables, allocate them for a garden large area spend a lot of free time and a lot of energy on it. The third reason for leaving the garden is perhaps the most important. Growing vegetables and fruits is a fascinating process that requires skill and talent. Skillful gardeners get the satisfaction of being able to grow the vegetables and varieties they want.
