A favorite pastime of all summer residents is thinking over the design of their site. We offer a selection of current trends in landscape gardening in the coming year. This information will help transform the site, make it fashionable and modern
Definitely, all your efforts will be directed towards enjoying your gardening and gardening activities. The key theme of 2018 will be organizing a corner with a wildlife theme, outdoor recreation and dining, and growing your favorite vegetables. Everything that is on your territory should bring joy.
Harmony with nature
Your private property always needs to preserve the natural environment. It does not require much effort and does not cause difficulties. Your site should not be empty and alienated from the natural environment. Birds, bugs, frogs, bees, and possibly hedgehogs will be a natural addition.
Use techniques to attract wild neighbors. These are garden / vegetable benefits, environmental improvements and free pest control. Observing the movement of insects helps to balance the state of mind and restore the nervous system. Make houses for bugs, add honey plants, equip birdhouses. Try to use less chemicals to control pests - this kills all living creatures.
Compact garden
You don't have to buy a large plot. On six and even four hundred square meters, you can fully live and relax, without suffering from a lack of territory. Learn to organize your space competently. The resourcefulness of the owner makes the smallest site functional, attractive and useful.
The promising motto of the designers is the maximum benefit from a small garden. Your property is modest in size - use versatility. Each corner, detail must perform several functions. This does not imply simultaneous action, just in different periods you use the same part of the garden or object, building in different ways. For example, a stylish stone hearth can be a table, a barbecue, a place to burn garbage and place plants in a planter. A garden bench can be a storage place for something, transform into a sunbed.
Growing in containers and pipes
Plants in containers are appropriate in small areas. They are mobile, efficiently save space, and decorate any corner. You can plant not only flowers in separate containers. Today it is fashionable to grow spicy herbs, remontant strawberries, garden plants, including tomatoes and cucumbers in containers.
A big plus of container gardening is the ability to move plants, group them by shape and texture, create interesting compositions, place them anywhere (terrace, lawn, gazebo, porch). This brings variety and dynamics to the design.
Outdoor dining
In good weather, we are not much in the house, so a meal in the fresh air is relevant in summer cottage life. Usually an open terrace, a lawn, a gazebo next to the kitchen is used for this. New trends are pushing the dining area deeper into the garden. The inconvenience of serving dishes and serving at a distance is paid off by the pleasant atmosphere of eating in a cozy and colorful corner or under the crown of a tree.
A place for eating can be decorated with container compositions. Take care of lighting or decorative lighting. It would be appropriate to build a pergola or support for loaches. A fountain, hearth or decorative pond can also be located here. Any furniture can be used, including a plastic set of chairs and a table.
Vegetable garden on six acres
Small territory is not hopeless for a designer. Gardeners can perfectly arrange vegetable crops without overloading the territory with beds. New trends suggest moving away from the standard garden area. Trends in the modern approach to country gardening suggest organizing an edible garden. There are no difficulties here, you plant a mixture of vegetables, aromatic herbs and flowers. It is important to correctly combine size, type of growth and volume.
Plant so that your beds resemble decorative fences, flower beds. Inside such plantings, you can place a flowerpot, pots on a stand, garden figures, solar lanterns. Squash, squash and pumpkin will grow beautifully under a garden tree if planted on the south side.
Plant strawberries and other plants vertically (in plastic pipes with holes, containers, bags, pots). Create tiered beds for cucumbers, tomatoes, and herbs.
It is always interesting to design your site. It is the embodiment of individuality and your needs. Perhaps some of the ideas have inspired you, have been helpful.
