Decoration of a flower bed: creation of a flower oasis

Compositions of fresh flowers not only decorate the household plot, they raise the mood to the owners and guests themselves, are able to please with colorful colors and interesting design solutions, and I do not think it's worth talking about the fragrances with which they fill the air. Of course, the design of flower beds should be correct, because only in this case they can truly transform yours, giving it a special atmosphere, color and shape.

Those who try to create a floral oasis on their own, gradually understand and take into account the peculiarities of each plant, learn to put up with its whims. In a word, they begin to have the ability to "communicate" with each representative of the flora on their private plot.

If you are still a beginner in the horticulture industry, I would like to advise you to start decorating the flowerbed with your own hands, only after consulting with a professional landscape designer. Specialists will help you avoid unnecessary headaches and annoying disappointments, will prompt you what techniques to adopt and advise how to properly handle a particular kind of plant.

Decoration of flowerbeds by yourself: how not to make a mistake from the very beginning?

Select "soloist"

If you decide to start making a plan for a flower garden, first determine the tallest and most ornamental plants in your flowerbed. These flowers will act as "soloists", which, of course, will be accompanied by some "retinue of the court", but the main attention will be focused on them. It is desirable that the number of selected plants does not exceed 3-4 species. They are placed in groups or singly, but in completely different parts of the site.

Try to use a variety of plants with foliage of interesting shapes or ornamental grasses

Very often beginners, for the first time picking up the planting material, make the mistake of paying attention only to plants with beautiful flowers. And in vain ... Original sizes and shapes are also of no small importance.

Decorative leaves of plants will give color to your flower bed even between luxuriant flowering. Remember that representatives of the flora with a delicate, large, rugged and filigree foliage will look best. All season the flowerbed will be decorated with amaranth, asparagus, ornamental cabbage, koleus, pampas grass, host, cineraria and chist. Also interesting, for example, is the union of astilba and hosts or badana and hosts with narrow-leaved daylilies, gladiolus, iris or asparagus.

The number does not matter

That's really for what you should not chase, so this is for quantity. Decoration of flower beds implies a special style, harmony and integrity of the composition. To date, the so-called gardens of one flower are becoming more and more popular. It is unlikely that you will be left indifferent by a garden of only asters, dahlias, gladiolus, lilies, peonies, primroses, roses or phlox.

The use of different in height plants will give color to any flower garden

Decoration of flowerbeds also involves the use of plants of completely different heights. As a rule, experienced flower growers stop to create 3-4 tiers. Lianas, ornamental plants and small shrubs are located in the background. The vertical continuation of the flowerbed itself and an amazing background create actinidia, wild grapes, sweet peas, morning glory, clematis, climbing roses and other vertical elements of gardening. The anterior plan is inferior to the stunted crops.

Decoration of flower beds, flower beds and homesteads in general - this is a real art, but if you know some tricks and subtleties, you can create amazingly beautiful live flower compositions by yourself.
