What only the epithets are not awarded fashion. She is capricious, and frequent, and changeable. Does there be a garden fashion?
A vivid example of creating stable landscapes - planting in natural style, or New Perennials style ("New Perennials"), Piet Oudolf, and its followers around the world as an alternative to lawn coatings and traditional flower beds requiring complex agrican turbines
This style is based on the use of consistently decorative, structural perennial herbaceous plants and shrubs that can grow for a long time in one place without transfers, careful care, non-aggressive, disease-resistant and pests and selected taking into account the ecology to a specific place.
For each climatic zone, structural perennials their own
Usually the most unpretentious, stable, well adapted to the local conditions of aboriginal species forms of plants. Therefore, they are preferred when creating sustainable landings
Not so long ago, the proposal to use in the crust projects I met the customers a misunderstanding and questions for which in the Garden of the weeds, the grass of the wasterees and the rooks of the road
Today, cereals and species perennials are one of the most fashionable plants reigning in garden exhibitions, adorning the best world gardens.
The use of cereals and long-lived structural perennials allows you to create a flower garden, decorative for the entire season, even in winter
The garden is not created on one and not for two years, and its arrangement occupies a fairly long period of time, and more plants must be taken, to gain decorativeness - sometimes the years left for it. And what, not having flourished, the garden will become non-mode? Landscape Country estates usually calculated several generations.
However, children and grandchildren have their own idea of the beautiful, about life, and, having received suburban real estate inheritance, the next generation is in a hurry to rebuild "Grandfather House" and create a modern landscape around the new building. The gardens were laid for a long time, in the council of parks it is read. Now, with the acceleration of the rhythm of life, a private garden is created for 15-20 years. So, it became possible to develop a garden fashion reflecting the image of the era, and the individuality of the author and the garden owner.
5 signs of modern garden
- Individuality. The garden is created for the life and recreation of a particular family.
- Manufacturability. Modern technology during construction and care.
- Stability. Selection of plants taking into account the environmental conditions of the site.
- Ecology. Priority to the use of biological means of protection of plants and organic fertilizers.
- Multifunctionality. Combination of aesthetics and functionality.
Modern rhythm
We feel great difference between the gardens created in the last century and modern. Even if they are organized by the reasons of French regular parks or English gardens, the destruction of obsolete stereotypes allows you to develop a unique trendy landscape. It is like in clothes - returns from the past drawing of the fabric, but modern cut, materials, new combinations give the image relevance.Multifunctionality
Sustainable landscapes are also rain gardens, biaplato for water bodies. With the help of artificial swamps (English Constructed Wetlands) in many countries, household, storm and other wastewater are long cleared. Apply plants for water purification - reliably and economically.
No need to buy filters, clean them, replace, preserve for the winter. In addition, swamp plants are exquisied and unique.
Alliance of functionality and decorativeness!

Author's garden
Today, in fashion, individuality, compliance with the place, architecture, time is the author's garden, endowed with unique features, causing emotions. And the question is not in the choice of color, plant or not to plant orange or purple flowers - meaning in the approach to the landscape, attitudes towards plants, materials, introducing new technologies, using modern design techniques.

Fashion does not come by chance, overnight. She, as if a lactium paper, responds to all changes occurring in society, and garden fashion, especially. The rapid development of cities, increasing environmental problems, at the same time appearance of new materials, technologies, changes in economics, culture and even politics - everything finds a response in the landscape architecture.
For a change overloaded, requiring complex leaving gardens come simple, functional, corresponding to the crazy rhythm of life and the course of the landscape savings.
Set of tools"
New techniques of design, dynamic power rhythm, contrasts of clear geometry of layout and natural filling, bright color of small architectural forms and soft natural shades of perennials and cereals create an image of a modern garden. Planting plants with arrays that are not tied to tracks add a feeling of spontaneity and naturalness. The combination of cutting forms of wood plants and many-life arrays enhances the contrast of natural and man-made.Manufacturability in construction and care
The modern garden is the author's idea, connected with the engineering idea and the latest technologies. Long term and manufacturability - the subject of attention in the construction of the garden, it includes improvement, paving, construction of arbors, etc.
For example, in recent years, Cortonovskaya steel is actively used in design and architecture, which is actively covered under the influence of water with oxidic film, simply put by rust, but not destroying metal, and retaining it without painting for many years - and they were adopted during the arrangement of the landscape. It is used for paving, creating small architectural forms, lanterns, retaining walls. The velvety surface texture so I want to stroke. Please smooth on health - this rust does not get dirty and is not washed away.
Modern garden is difficult to imagine without individual garden furniture, containers, art objects, small architectural forms. Non-standard materials and forms are also welcome.

Structural perennials, cereals do not require garters, the long period of time is not collapsed and decorative
Natural Gardens
A city resident, tired of smog, asphalt, concrete and a view to the nearby panel house from the window, dreams of feeling in nature in the countryside. It is not surprising that gardens in the natural style, which give the feeling of natural meadows or forests, is so in demand lately. Gradually goes well to create magnificent, overloaded mixtures, use varieties of plants with bright color foliage or screaming giant sizes. In addition, large inflorescences often do not maintain the effects of rain and wind, they require supports, tapping, and therefore additional labor costs.Garden sensations
The topic of sensations in the garden is one of those sought-after, because it can be influenced by all organs of feelings, cause all kinds of external sensations: visual, hearing, olfactory, tactile (tactable), taste and kinesthetic, in fact, create sensory gardens that allow you to awaken memories , emotions and feelings, reanimate and develop links with nature.
Today, fashion was formed on the individual gardens, no similar to each other, functional and comfortable, which bring joy to people.
Almailness
One of the main trends of recent years is low-speed (not to be confused with a baby), namely the decline in labor costs for gardening, saving energy and human resources, water. The cost of the workforce has increased significantly, and they do not want the owners of the squadrons to see in their sites constantly hoarse people, fertilizing, cutting, sparing, spraying.
Of course, it is impossible to do without care. But the task of the landscape designer to design the garden in such a way as to significantly reduce the care of plantations. How to achieve this, what elements in the garden require the greatest care? These are lawns, alpine slides, traditional flower beds. Without alpine slides, you can do, and the fashion has already passed, the time-consuming process of maintaining them in decorative form has significantly reduced popularity.
But without a lawn, it's hard to imagine a private garden, because it is a lawn for games, and an open space, and it is very nice to resemble the grass. So that the lawn is convenient to mow, and during the season it is necessary every week, it should be a simple form, without suitable edges, without plants, well, maybe one or two trees (not fruit) as an exception. What then remains under the trees - naked land? Of course not. At the peak of popularity today, soil shadowed perennials. They will cover the ground, and the weeds will restrain, and will suspend the development of soil erosion, and they will not give moisture from the soil to evaporate quickly, and therefore it is necessary to water and pour it less frequently.
