A flower garden is a limited area where herbaceous and flowering ornamental plants are grown. Also, the presence of bushes and trees is not excluded. The flower garden is a very popular element of landscape design. With the help of it, they decorate not only suburban private estates, but also decorate city parks and courtyards.
There are many options for flower beds, the most popular are: an alpine slide, a flower bed, a mixborder and an ornamental garden.
An alpine slide is a flower garden in which plants growing in mountainous areas or similar to them are planted. Stones are also an important element of such a composition. It can be one large boulder in the center of the composition or several small stones of different shapes, colors and sizes. An alpine slide imitates a mountain slope or peak. This type of flower garden is perfectly located on a hilly area. If the terrain is flat, then you can organize a low artificial embankment or imitate the hill with plants of various sizes and heights, planting them from larger to smaller, creating a slide.
A flower bed is also an equally popular type of flower garden, has a geometric or oval shape, most often limited to a border or mini-hedge of dense plants. Plants in a flower bed are planted in such a way that the composition forms a certain pattern or ornament. Since the flower bed is a very popular and versatile invention, there are several types and design options. A regular flower bed is a classic of execution, it consists of perennial plants organized in any geometric shape and fenced with a decorative border. An irregular flower bed consists of plants with different vegetative periods, which allows it to be unfading, one type of plant replaces another. Carpet beds will perfectly decorate both the city square and the suburban area. This type of flower bed is a composition of low-growing plants that create a plant carpet with a clear ornament.
Mixborder is an excellent solution at a summer cottage. This type of flower garden performs not only a decorative function, it can also play the role of a hedge. The main thing in arranging a mixborder is to correctly and harmoniously combine plants in color, shape and size. Since the view of such a flower garden is frontal, it is better to plant the plants according to the hierarchy - higher in the background, small in front. The simplest design option for a mixborder is to plant creeping low-growing perennial plants - they will serve as a background or base, then low flowering bushes and perennial plants are planted, annual plants can be planted in between them. A landscape-style mixborder can be planted with wild-growing bells, poppies, a variety of ornamental grasses, and various shrubs. Such a flower garden will add a touch of naturalness and naturalness to the site. A popular style in the design of a mixborder is country style. Such a flower garden involves the cultivation of garden flowers such as gladioli, peonies, asters, roses, petunias, etc. Some of these plants have thick leaves and stems, thus creating a backdrop for their bright flowers.
For owners of small plots and for those who want to please themselves with fresh herbs and vegetables, but do not want to lose the picturesque and beauty of the garden, the design of an ornamental garden would be an excellent solution. This type of flower garden is a limited space on which vegetable crops are planted in clear, even rows. Different plants can be planted on one vegetable “flowerbed”. In order for them to look neat and aesthetically pleasing, they are separated among themselves with the help of special partitions, mini-borders, low-growing dense plants (for example, boxwood) or use a small stone. Decorative gardens are framed with bumpers and can be installed at any level. You can also build a vegetable mixborder according to this principle and place it along the garden paths. This type of flower garden requires careful maintenance. To make the ornamental garden always look aesthetically pleasing, you should calculate the flowering time of vegetable crops and choose the right plants.
To design a suburban area, you can resort to the help of professionals, however, creating a flower garden with your own hands is a very exciting process and will leave few people indifferent.
