Unfortunately, not every owner of a personal plot has a sufficient amount of free time that can be devoted to gardening and gardening work. However, this does not discourage the desire to contemplate beautiful and fragrant compositions in your yard. Gardeners are wondering how to make their dreams come true, taking into account the time constraints ?! Are there flower beds that are undemanding to careful care ?! Of course! And a flower garden in a rustic style (or country style) is proof of this!
A rustic flower garden is an excellent solution for large summer cottages and garden plots; it does not tolerate pretentiousness and clear geometric lines and shapes. It is characterized by simplicity and some negligence. Its main components are wooden and stone decorative attributes, lush greenery, crops, uncomplicated flowers, fruit shrubs and trees. Today, village flower beds are very popular among gardeners. Most likely, this phenomenon is due to the fact that people began to value wildlife and give preference to natural beauty.
Decor
Spaces for creating a rustic-style flower garden are preferable to be spacious, because the main goal that a gardener faces is the construction of a wilderness corner. Areas located along the fence, near an artificial reservoir, gazebo or walls of outbuildings and houses are also welcome, but with the condition of intense lighting, because many plants cannot stand a thick shade.
Various decorative elements, for example, wooden benches with minimal traces of processing, wattle fence, carelessly laid birch logs, carts with large wheels and wicker baskets with flowers of bright and rich colors, can complement and give a zest to the rustic compositions.
Paths in such a flower garden play an important role, they should not have strict forms, wooden saw cuts, granite shavings or coarse sand, through which green grass will inadvertently appear, will become ideal materials for paving.

It is good if there is a recreation area near the flower garden, which includes a gazebo and unpretentious garden furniture, varnished, for example, a swing or a rocking chair. As an accent, the recreation area can be fenced off with a hand-made wicker fence with pots or clay jugs suspended from it.
You can add color to the hedge and refine it with the help of large sunflowers or tall mallow. A rustic lawn is possible, but it doesn't have to be perfectly trimmed. You can place pots with small flowers on it, and form garden beds with vegetables and small flower beds next to it. All together it will look quite harmonious, and this despite the apparent disorder and chaos.

Plants for a flower garden
Unpretentious to care and vibrant flower cultures are indispensable elements of village flower gardens. These include chamomile, irises, dahlias, marigolds, asters, calendula, peonies, sunflowers, mallow, poppy, cornflowers and pansies. The following compositions will harmoniously fit into such compositions: climbing rose, rudbeckia, delphinium, echinacea, sedum, paniculata phlox, carnation, blood-red geranium, bell, astilba, geychera, petunia, cornflower, lovage, lemon balm, loosestrife, coleus.

You can supplement village flower beds with ferns, hops, cereals, wild grapes, rose hips, lilacs, viburnum, mountain ash, golden currants, cherries, dwarf birch, black elderberry and European spindle tree. In the garden beds located near the flower garden, you can sow greens (dill, parsley, basil), carrots, beets, turnips, radishes, as well as plant seedlings of tomatoes, cabbage and eggplants.
Marigolds can be placed among the vegetables, they will not only transform the beds, but also protect the plants from pests. In a flower garden made in a rustic style, exotic views are not appropriate. On such an uncomplicated site, they will look apart, in addition, they will be very uncomfortable, because they need careful treatment and careful care.
