If you do not have enough knowledge about how to break the flower garden on the summer site, but you still take enthusiasm for its creation, the result may not justify your expectations. What is the way out of the situation?
Spring riot of colors
There are several options:
- sign up for landscape designers, pay for them a round sum, spend several months and get elementary knowledge about plants, soil and flower beds. But you will still have to create a flower beds, allowing annoying mistakes and errors.
- choose a simpler way that will give a guaranteed result - use the finished flow of flower beds suitable for the terms of your cottage plot.

Forms of flower are different: geometric and free. On what a flower garden to stop your choice - it all depends on landscape design Plot and your preferences.
Flower-mixture
On the flower bed, it is necessary to note the illuminated and shady places. It is very important for right choice Assortment of plants and creating optimal conditions for development and flowering.
These rules must be adhere to the formation of a flower bed of continuous flowering or, as it is also called, the "flower garden of four seasons". Such flower beds look beautiful for a whole year.

Choosing plants for flowering flowering beds, it is necessary to remember that the number of plant species depends on the size of the flower beds. If the flower garden is small, and the perennials too much, instead of the feeling of harmony, we get a completely opposite effect - the feeling of disorder and discomfort.
Sharply perennials reveal their beauty in large groups. The correct placement on the flowering can appear on flowering. Flowering spring low-spirited perennials (snowdrops, primroses, muskari. Hyacinths) are placed in the foreground.
Flower garden of four seasons
Middle height plants (tulips, pyrethrums, spinning) will take the middle part of the flower beds. The background will remain behind the high summer and autumn perennials - the souls, chrysanthemums, September. Between them, the grass is planted - the cuff and oatmeal of the SIZY.

Beautiful flowerbed rectangular shape
Before you choose the shape and size of the flower garden, it is necessary to determine on which site it will be located. As a rule, the flower beds of the geometric shape are best looking at a flat well-groomed lawn. However, the flower bed geometry should be well viewed from all sides, otherwise the object will look inactive. For this, experts recommend paying attention to two important details:
Create a scheme for triangular, rectangular or any other geometric flower beds is not at all difficult. You just need to prepare the site, drawing the outline of the future object on it. As for the density of planting colors, in this matter, much depends on the peculiarities of their growth, as well as how many varieties you use in the flower bed. For example, if the flowerba will consist of identical monochrome plants, then it is necessary to plant them by the type "carpet", as close as possible to each other. If there are free sections in the flower garden, it will break the beauty of the form and visually spoil the geometry of the shape.
Form of flower beds
If the flowerbed includes plants of different shades and sizes, then the scheme of their landing requires careful planning. Most often in the center of the flower bed, the highest plants are planted, and on the office are the most bright, which allows to emphasize the form of the object.

Flower beds square, round or rectangular shape can be made multi-tiered. For this, the highest plants are located in the center, and each subsequent row is filled with lower colors. Ultimately, the flower bed will resemble a pyramid or a multi-tier cake. However, it is important for creating a beautiful form that the plants in the same row differ in the same height.
To emphasize the geometric correctness of the flower beds, you can use auxiliary elements, namely - and edging. For example, a round-shaped flower lamp can be made of stones with a cluster, and the flowerbed in the form of a square or a rectangle - edging from wooden bars or pegs.

The flower beds are not less impressive. Under the phrase "wrong form" should be understood as the absence of classical geometry. For example, such a flower garden can disembark in the form of wave-like lines, arcs, abstract patterns, etc.

Wrong flower bed can also be created in the form of a combination of different flower beds. For example, in one section there are small round flower beds, which are connected by a wave-like coating of bright colors and plants. So that the composition looks harmonious and alloy, the plots between the flower beds are filled with gravel, shallow or. To create a flower beds of an unusual and multifaceted form, it is necessary to pre-develop a scheme, drawing its contour on the soil.

In addition, the original forms of flower do look neatly and beautifully, it is necessary to take care of the combination of shades of plants. Folding a flower garden can be both contrast and close in color scheme, but in the second case it is important that the shades of plants do not merge with each other, otherwise the flower bed will lose its expressiveness.

Figure flower beds, which are also called "Arabesques", resemble paintings drawn by nature itself. Arabesque can be performed in any forms, but most often preference is given to plant ornaments and patterns.
For example, the form of such a flower bed can resemble the outlines of the butterfly, flower, insect, etc. Creating such a beautiful flower garden is a complex and time-consuming process. Initially, it is necessary to draw a scheme of future flower beds on paper, thinking not only its outlines, but also filling patterns. For example, flower-shaped flower can consist of multicolored petals, and the "butterfly" wings can be decorated with intricate wave-like patterns. As a rule, curls belong to the type of continuous flowering, so it is important that all plants ripen and bloomed at the same time.
