Often, gardeners want their garden to be different from the neighbor's, to have its own personality. In movies, we always admire beautiful garden pictures. But many do not realize that you can create a royal garden on your site and thereby surprise your friends and neighbors
Garden layout
The first step in creating a garden is always planning. Try to imagine your fantasies on paper. Take a plan of your site and divide it into zones that you would like to have. Try to arrange them symmetrically to form some kind of ornament. Mark the lines that demarcate functional areas with hedge trim. This is the first rule of a regular garden: strict proportions and a clear pattern. Evergreen shrubs can create a hedge. They can be trimmed to the desired height, given the desired shape, but it is important to maintain a uniform style.
Sundial
Any regular royal garden from ancient times had its own center - a sundial. Once they were of practical importance, but now they can become an element of decor, attributing us to the respective era. The clock fits well into the garden composition and will attract everyone's attention.
We use the wattle
King Henry VIII allowed residents to fence off their private territories. Then small wicker hedges appeared, half a person's height. So on your site, a wattle fence may appear to fence off some economic zones, and hide unnecessary things from prying eyes. It will be very "English". Moreover, the ability to weave is not required at all. Such an item can be purchased at garden stores today.
Severity and randomness
Back in the Middle Ages, English gardeners suggested combining strict, impeccable lines with some plant freedom. This is how the traditions of decorating houses and fences with creeping vines appeared. Nowadays, vines have not only green mass, but also a variety of flowers and fruits. The wall of the house, picturesquely entwined with flowering lashes and neatly trimmed bushes on the lawn in the form of various geometric shapes - these are also signs of an English classical garden.
Symmetry
At the beginning of the article, we already paid attention to the principle of symmetry. This also applies to the vegetable garden. The beds in the English style should be high and located strictly in a straight line. Neat borders made of various decorative materials will not be superfluous. Multi-colored salads, cabbage, spinach, carrots - all this will also become a kind of decoration, as their appearance will resemble flower beds.
Favorite flowers
The beds will look completely in English if decorative flowers, spicy and medicinal herbs are planted along with vegetable crops. The modern choice of plants allows you to create interesting compositions where multi-colored and textured lettuce leaves will serve as a frame for all kinds of annuals.
Garden constructions
To move from one economic zone to another, it is recommended to install arches or pergolas. Twisted with flowering vines, they will become, not only spectacular transitions, but also favorite resting places. Be sure to consider a place for a garden gazebo. To make it a place of solitude and relaxation, do not forget to plant nearby bushes of climbing roses, or jasmine, or lilacs. This will not only create a secluded corner, but also allow you to enjoy the delicate aroma of plants.
We look from a height
In Tudor times, the garden was admired from the upper galleries, so flower beds and green hedges formed a certain intricate pattern. You can do the same. Look at your layout from the second floor and make sure that the existing interweaving of garden lines is correct
Garden trees
In English gardens, there has always been a place for fruit trees. In this they do not differ from our garden plots. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of a tree near a house. This is shade, and fruit, and landscape decoration, and an additional source of oxygen.
After reading this article, you can see for yourself that creating a royal garden in the country is not so difficult. Observing the simple listed rules, you can surprise your friends and acquaintances with a bright, extraordinary site.
