In most cases, a personal plot is needed to grow various useful crops: vegetables and fruits. However, many gardeners strive to make it not only as useful as possible, but also beautiful. For this, the site is decorated with flower beds and flower beds. To create such a bright, fragrant island, you don't have to be a professional designer, you just need to understand some of the intricacies and apply a little imagination. Before implementing the idea of a flower garden, some important questions should be resolved

Optimal color gamut

Before planting plants, you should decide which colors on the site should be dominant. This is very important, otherwise your flower garden may turn out in the form of inconceivable variegated thickets.

Plant selection

When choosing flowers, you should focus on two or three types. In addition, it is extremely important to take into account their compatibility with each other, since many of their species do not get along well with their relatives. The flowering period is also an important moment for the organization of a flower garden. The best option is to change some colors for others.

Geometric shapes

Those who are going to decorate their site with all sorts of flowers should know that the difference between a flower bed and a flower garden is that it has a clear geometric shape. A flower garden, on the other hand, can have a free design.

Bright colors of flowers and their delicate aroma can create a real fabulous atmosphere. You just need to correctly arrange the plants and decide on the type of flower garden. In the latter case, many questions may arise related to its shape, size and location.

There are the following types of flower beds:

A border flower garden is a strip of flowers of one small height. Its width is usually no more than 50 cm. It is arranged where it is necessary to highlight some kind of line: a fence, a path or a building. Live marigold borders look very beautiful, which are distinguished by bright flowering, rapid growth and unpretentiousness. The paths and fences can be magnificently looked after by the flowers of the lungwort, which bloom very early and perfectly tolerate the shade.

A flower garden - a rabatka, which looks like a rectangle with a width of 50 centimeters to 2-3 meters, will give a special unique look to the site. With the help of such a flower decoration, you can decorate gazebos, make edging of grassy lawns, and highlight garden paths. Asters, godetia, Chinese carnations and some types of bulbs: daffodils, tulips, forget-me-nots are planted as a bed. Plants in this case are combined into groups to get their especially bright, lush flowering.

No less beautiful is a flower garden - a mixborder, which has a large length and an irregular shape. The basis of this flower garden is made up of perennial plants in combination with annuals and some woody plants.

A contrasting mixborder looks very expressive, in which red and green are combined, and yellow with purple. But such a flower garden should not be too large, otherwise its appearance will be defiant. More strictly, but in its own way, the floral arrangement of a monochrome mixborder looks beautiful, in which flowers of different shapes are grouped, but of the same color. The most successful combination for such a mixborder is wild flowers with garden plants.

Everyone wants the flower garden on the site to be especially beautiful and delight with its lush flowering. Therefore, plants need constant and proper care. To do this, it is enough to adhere to the main points:

carry out correct timely watering;

feed plants with complex fertilizers;

spray daily.

Subject to all these measures, your flower garden will delight with its bright splendor and cause enthusiastic glances from others.
