In the era of short internecine wars, in order not to let a small enemy into their territory, wooden palisades, called "palissade" by the French, were erected. Later they were replaced by capital stone walls. Since that time, the fencing of residential buildings from the outer space (streets) has been called the word "palisade", which is synonymous with more familiar words for us: palisade, wattle fence, picket fence, fence, fence. Not all fencing of a separate territory is called a palisade, but only a part of it located along the building.
In Russia, the word "front garden" was born from the word "palisade", which became a "volumetric" concept, since "front garden" does not mean a fence, but, as a rule, a small area of the adjacent territory, enclosed between the outer wall of the house and the street fence. It is decorated with a flower garden, shrubs, trees.
In a house where a carved palisade
The fate of the song "Vologda" by the poet M. L. Matusovsky and composer B. A. Mokrousov, which made the word "palisade" popular, is interesting. Written in 1956 and performed by famous singers at that time, the song did not appeal to the listeners, did not take root. Only twenty years after its birth, a song performed by the Belarusian ensemble "Pesnyary" waited for its finest hour, becoming in 1976 "song of the year". For the thirty-eighth year, the song has been sung with pleasure, listened to and loved. And the half-forgotten word "palisade" is actively used in speech, admiring both the word and the carved palisades.
Country house business card
For front gardens, there are no strict sizes, certain types of landings. Everything is very democratic and depends only on the whim of the owners, their tastes and the size of the wallet.
Those who have a lot of money, but little or no free time at all, entrust the arrangement of the front garden to specialized professional firms, which themselves will determine how and what to do, harmoniously link the front garden with residential and auxiliary buildings, with small architectural forms … In general, they will do everything in the best form.
Do-it-yourself front garden
It is much more pleasant, even if you have extra money (if at all, money may be extra), to arrange a front garden with your own hands. And here there are no limits to the options for creative imagination, like the Universe.
* If the front garden is not a very wide path from the gate in the fence to the front door of the house, you can decorate it with a bed with one, two or three types of unpretentious plants that are combined in color.
* A rectangular front garden along a low hedge will be decorated with flowers such as a golden ball; common mallow and with double inflorescences, striking with a variety of colors and delighting owners and passers-by with its splendor for almost the entire summer season; golden sunflower hats on high strong stems will look nostalgic; unpretentious peony bushes Maryin root (although it does not bloom for long, but its beautiful carved leaves stand green from early spring to late autumn); lupins of all kinds of colors … It is desirable that the flowers are perennial, do not require much time to care for them and delight with their leaves and flowers all summer.
* Lilac bushes of different colors will hide the windows of the house from the prying eyes of passers-by and fill the house with a pleasant aroma. It is only necessary to cut out the aged shoots in the fall and not allow new young shoots to grow strongly, otherwise the lilac will fill the entire free territory of the front garden.
* Lovers of the taiga can arrange a small copy of it in the front garden, planting miniature conifers such as: juniper; thuja western; Western and Serbian spruce; dwarf cedar; pseudo-leisure of Menzies, similar to a prickly spruce, but with softer needles with a bluish tint; mountain pine with a spherical crown … Coniferous dwarfs will even more refresh the country air and improve the respiratory system of the family and guests.
* If there are preschool children in the front garden, you can equip a playground so that children are constantly in the field of view of adults, playing games, building sand castles, little chicks and other improvised and safe material.
