In the country villages, private possessions are often closely adjacent to each other. And after the construction of houses and household buildings on them, such a small piece of land remains that the hosts over its arrangement have to break their heads pretty. The shortage of a free square around the house makes its owners with particular attention to simple functional solutions for the design of the front part of the garden, flower beds and recreation areas. Curious ideas can be learned from the experience of famous designers, representing their creations at the international exhibition of flowers in Chelsea.
"Sensual" garden
When creating his garden, Fiona Laurenson's designers and Chris Moss took the pink color, supported by a light brown filling from gravel and a light tiled in a water branch finish. Composition from multi-level areas and a small rectangular lake miraculously fit flower beds regularly, with landscape planting style of plants slightly softens clear garden lines. Saturated green color shall be drawn up with bright raspberry and purple inflorescences of roses, Mac East, Peony, Gravity, Salvia, Georgin. The graphics of the dark branches of Quarters of the ordinary adds to the elegant appearance of the garden the necessary emphasis (in our climate, instead you can use a dwarf apple tree). A row of thin rowan rowan (Fastigiata) repeats the rhythm given by narrow vertical openings in the wall.
It introduces its intrigue alternation of plastered surfaces and inserts from natural stone - it creates the illusion of a larger space. Even a small rectangular reservoir is included in this game, as if led into the opening of the open door. Considerable importance is attached to a combination of various textures. So, the smooth monotonous surface of the walls covered with plaster creates a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Stone inserts are brought into the garden appearance natural expressiveness. The aside of massive chairs, rough outside, suddenly turn out to be polished.
Garden in pots
In one of the large vases you can place a miniature rocky garden. It is better to take advantage of the plants that successfully coexist in open soil, for example, on Alpine slides.
Lazy Salad Days
Every good hostess in the midst of summer I want to have fresh greens on the table, especially if it is grown on their own beds. And even if there is a little free space, you can create a stylish decorative garden, aligning it, say, with a seating area.In this garden, fragrant beds are planted with spicy herbs and vegetables. Good combined with each other oregano, thyme, basil purple, coriander (Sort "Amber"), Parsley Curly, dill (grade "Mushroom", "Salute"), lavender narrow-hearted. Larger "inhabitants" Ogorod-Ogran Large and Belvillesky, Green and Purpural Salad Grade ("Kuchecher Odessa", "Lollo Rosso"). A rich selection of varieties leaves the owners the widest field for exciting experiments. Anad picturesque beds-flowerbeds are arranged wooden sun beds, ideal for sunbathing. So on several square meters there are two "floors", each of which performs its function. The resulting composition is completed by a low intermittent border of the strollers with the approaches to the sun beds. You can use a dwarf shrub Barbaris Tunberg (Kobold) instead of the Samsite.
But there is here, it turns out, and one more level is a small tube, laid in a neat "crack" between sandstone plates. He originates from a fountain having a rock mask, - water gently falls on the pebbles and travels past sun beds and green hedges.
The additional feeling of comfort gives this secluded corner a small retaining wall supporting a higher terrace. There come there, overcoming several steps located on the right. And although such functional structures often fall out of the design of the site, they can also be very effectively used. For example, as the garden designer Paul Martin did. It has decorated the side wall and several steps of elegant leaves of the Miscantum Chinese, sheep's oatmeal, decorated them with light rounded barefoot and an elegant ceramic vase.
"Striped" garden
In the depths of the garden on a small elevation there is a platform for recreation, to which steps are conducted on both sides. Varhitectural appearance compositions easily fit strict formal flower beds, decorated with the same black shale. They are located around the perimeter of the walls, and in the center are closely suitable for the site. White Inflorescences Echinacea, Natrestyanki, Iris Enexat and Dark Violet Superstition Irises continue a black and white theme, and the juicy green leaves make a known variety into a strict color gamut. Such a designer approach is the use of the main color theme repeated in various elements, plus unusual, memorable parts allowed to make the design of the recreation area extraordinary.
Spectacular decoration of a garden-unusual fountain in the form of a glass rectangular tower, through which a slightly blurred pattern of walls is visible. Water descends on the glands of the tower and is sent to a small futuristic water-plasma display, fixed in a horizontal position. The panel itself imitates a smooth surface of the water, in which, as in the usual pond, the sky and greens of plants are reflected. Aesl look closely, floating decorative koi carps are noticeable inside. This incredible symbiosis of modern technology and wildlife was reality thanks to the fantasy and designer skill.
Track by air
However, many of the possessors of small sites are familiar and such a situation when the desire to equip near the house has a recreation area, a water and a flower garden, it would seem, an irresistible restriction: free of all 3-5m2 lands are free. Well, and you can create a spectacular "two-storey" kindergarten. For example, similar to the one that designed English designer John Dog. His composition consists of four as if concerned about each other: lawn, a reservoir, a small platform for recreation and a metal ramp, which performs the functions of the track. And although in fact the circumference is usually not "drawn" in the garden to the end, the imagination of the looking mentally blows every element.Glass flower garden
You have an unusual color garden design, which can be placed near the front area of the site. The garden structure is set by sixteen columns made of blue glass with a height of about 1 m each, placed at an equal distance from each other around the perimeter and inside a large square. Between them are laid tracks decorated with a metal grid. Slender architectural garden appearance is complemented by geometric landing lines. Glass columns are immelled in a light bronze air cushion from cereals (for example, from a multi-year barley of the grivoish). Juicy dark green, host moves closer to the garden borders in the emerald shade of the leaf of the count and hydrangea. An interesting optical effect arises from a combination of translucent blue glass and plants - high gentle-lilac irises and bright white Call flowers. Their reflection in smooth edges of the columns create something like a "third dimension" of a flower garden.
Orangery on the platform
The idea of a garden device on several tiers allows you to create an infinite number of variations. For example, as here, when the garden literally begins to grow up. On a platform hanging over the natural reservoir, a greenhouse is arranged, resembling a gigantic lantern. Twin can be coated with thermal-loving exotic plants - ficuses, lemon or dates palm. The platform seemed to be made of wood, but in fact the recycled polystyrene served as a building material (one from which disposable dishes are made). In appearance, it is almost impossible to distinguish from the real tree. The same material is not destroyed under the influence of water, does not fade into the sun.Garden-berth
On the perimeter of the site, flowers and cereals are planted in very unusual combinations. Gentle white-pink-lilac "clouds" of flowering plants, complemented by thin stems of herbs and marsh irises, create an atmosphere of lightness and airiness. The location of plants in containers allows to arrange compositions on sites, where either completely lacks a layer of fertile soil, or under the ground there are some technical devices that require episodic maintenance.
Techno-Sad.
Such a solution is particularly suitable for the design of the roof of an underground garage or a waste reservoir. It is convenient to use the design here, which it would be easy to disassemble or transfer if necessary. On a wall made up of ceramic pipes with narrow slots, through which water flows, many years of ampel plants are settled. Their falling branches resemble green waterfalls. To create such an effect, the outfit, the alisum rock and gypsophila creeping is most suitable. Warehouse "pockets" are placed vases with plants. A horizontal block of unpainted metal pipes with a terrain, similar to the shape of a bamboo stems, imitates the reservoir.Cubic garden
The seating area itself is a low podium, paved by gray-blue tiles, is framed by square flower beds surrounded by borders from the Samshat (in our climate it can be replaced by Barbaris Samshattoliste). The center of each of the eight flower beds is planted with an ordinary grabbed in the form of Cuba. The resulting green "walls" and "roof" protect the platform from direct sunlight and help to achieve the effect of the "Garden Room" effect, without resorting to heavy dense materials. And there is still enough light for plants in trillium flower beds, coolest European.
