How to equip a dacha with your own hands - useful tips. How I managed to beautifully and economically equip a summer cottage

The time has passed when summer residents tried to use every piece of land for growing vegetables, berries, fruits. Now the owners of suburban areas are striving to improve their estates and turn them into a lovely recreation area. How to equip a dacha with your own hands at a minimum cost, turning it into a wonderful resting place? This is an interesting and very exciting activity.

How beautiful to equip a summer cottage?

So you have acquired Vacation home with a plot. Where to start her improvement?

First you need to get rid of unnecessary shrubs, trash and everything else that does not suit you.
The location of the future alpine slides, pond, stream, verandas, gazebos, paths - everything that you want to see on your territory.
To create a stream, its authenticity, it is necessary to arrange a slope.
Decide on the style of the garden landscape, suitable for the look of the house, taking into account the size land plot... Experts believe that it is much more difficult to create a design for a small area.

All improvement plans must be weighed against their financial capabilities.

Site fencing

It is worth starting with the hedge of the territory. The fence can be made of concrete, brick, wood, metal profile. Hedges from (forsythia, spirea, barberry and other plants) look original. These beautiful hedges fulfill protective function, forming a dense wall of shoots, foliage and flowers.

Looks spectacular instead of a wicket decorative arch from climbing plants. It is important for such an arch to make a strong support from metal structure... Plants for a beautiful neat arch require careful and timely pruning and good care.

Gazebos

Designers recommend installing a veranda or gazebo on the territory, the style of which is harmoniously combined with the house and other buildings in the garden. In addition to the comfort from the gazebo in the country, it will still be great place rest on hot days. If there are small children in the house, then the gazebo can be designed in the form of a fairy-tale house, and sculptures of characters from fairy tales and cartoons can be placed around.

Instead of traditional wooden building make a green gazebo lined with flexible trees: birch, maple, willow, linden. Don't forget to leave a place to enter. Around the site, at a distance of about a meter, you need to plant trees or climbing shrubs: lemongrass, maiden grapes, honeysuckle, hydrangea, actinidia or climbing plants: hops, sweet pea, ornamental beans. Of course, for such original gazebo special care is required: regular trimming of bushes, harvesting of dry leaves, direction of growing shoots.

Garden paths

Beautifully executed paths can significantly change the look of the territory. They divide the site into zones, ennoble the dacha. They can be made from decorative paving slabs, gravel, concrete slabs, flat stones, wood, stone chips, mosaics and even laid out from wooden cuts. It all depends on the imagination of the owners and their financial well-being.

Flower beds and flower beds

A rustic hut with a front garden looks completely new. It is enough to plant ordinary unpretentious flowers in the front garden that do not require special care: chamomile, primrose, marigolds, calendula, cosmos. It is better to choose perennial flowers with openwork beautiful leaves... Not quite attractive buildings will help to disguise climbing plants: maiden grapes, clematis, honeysuckle. For these vines, a reliable solid support is needed.

Plants in a flower bed or flower garden, which are competently selected in color and flowering time, look beautiful on the site. These can be composed of annual and perennial flowers, as well as ornamental grasses, cereals and shrubs.

The lawn looks interesting with edging as a border of flowers or a bed of flowers of different heights and flowering shrubs located in the middle of the lawn.

For the device of an original flower garden, various household items and obsolete items are suitable. For these purposes, you can use any means of transportation (bicycle, cart, car, scooter), dishes (buckets, cisterns, pots, watering cans, bathtubs), shoes. Old dishes can be restored by decorating them with mosaics, pebbles, decoupage, braiding with a vine or plait.

Alpine slides are very popular with gardeners. Of course, for a beautiful slide, you need to correct the relief of the place, choose the right stones, and then pick up the right plants.

Decorative arches

If on a garden path you arrange an arch with a blooming climbing plant, then such a structure will decorate the garden and will be a pleasant invitation to the recreation area. By installing several of these arches, you will get a shady corner for relaxation, where it is pleasant to relax on a hot day.

So we figured it out, turning it into beautiful garden... Outbuildings can be masked with tall or climbing bushes. The garden landscape can be supplemented with a small pond or pond, made of stones.

I invite you to the Subscribe.ru group for summer residents, gardeners: "Country hobbies" Everything about country life: cottage, garden, vegetable garden, flowers, rest, fishing, hunting, tourism, nature

Three years ago my husband and I purchased country house on a plot of 10 acres. I didn't know where to grab or where to start. My husband began to make repairs to the dwelling, and the responsibility for arranging the garden was placed on my shoulders. I really wanted to reflect my vision of beauty and comfort at their summer cottage. I did it with minimal cost and maximum effect... I will share with you my observations and recommendations.

Where to begin?

From the simplest thing - get a notebook for notes and enter everything that concerns suburban area: your desires, advice from friends and the opinions of experienced gardeners. Every season I write down what needs to be bought, made or planted for the next summer.

Draw up a draft of your site on paper, display the following zones on it:

Entry.
Front.
Household.
Rest zone.
Gardening.

Draw them taking into account how you would like to see your site. You can supplement the project with a barbecue area, a sauna. If there is nothing on the site, think over where to place the shower, outbuilding and toilet. At the same time, do not forget about the established standards that were developed by the Ministry of Regional Development .

Before equipping your site, read the following guidelines:

It is better to locate the utility area away from the resting place.
The garden area should be well lit. Don't forget about the convenience of watering.
The playground must be supervised by an adult. It's good if you can see it from the windows of the house and from all sides of the site.
The pool should be located in the sun, away from neighbors' eyes.
It is better to put a gazebo with barbecue in the shade.
30 percent of the children's area should be in the shade. It is better to put an umbrella in the sandbox.
The main path should be straight, while the rest can be winding. It is desirable that there is a slight incline on both sides of the road. Tile, stone, concrete are usually used as materials.
Landscaping and all buildings should be decorated in the same style.
Do not forget to remove all stones, bumps and growing thorns in the children's area.

Follow the promotions in stores , and then you can inexpensively purchase a brazier, a sunbed, a children's pool with a slide and other necessary things. Feel free to buy used products.

Original and inexpensive ideas

Do not rush to demolish old buildings

When we bought the site, there was already a building on it for household equipment. I painted it green and painted cartoon characters on it. The children were delighted. The husband welded up the roof and put things in order inside, made various shelves. If you are afraid that your drawing will become the property of the Museum of Bad Art, use special stencils, which can be bought in the "everything for home and country" section.

Choose a metal gazebo

There must be a canopy. We bought an inexpensive transformer tent, which we folded and put on every time. This turned out to be very inconvenient. Firstly, it takes time, and secondly, such awnings do not withstand strong winds.

Once it started pouring rain, and we were catching an awning in the neighboring area. After that, he fell into disrepair. Therefore, I advise everyone to order metal gazebos with a roof ... Check out ads on sites like Avito. There you can buy strong and beautiful gazebo for 10-15 thousand rubles.

Choose picky plants

If you are a beginner gardener, it is unlikely that you will get masterpiece alpine slides the first time. Start with simple flowers that are easy to maintain.

For example:

Lupine.
Swimsuit.
Astilba.
Cornflower.
Petunia.
Phlox.

Do not rush to immediately dig half of the plot under the garden, as I did. Majority vegetable crops require regular watering and maintenance. If you come to the dacha 2-3 times a month for a couple of days, be prepared for. Learn more about fertilization methods, and it is better if someone from experienced gardeners will help you care for crops ... For starters, you can plant dill, parsley, mint, sorrel, green onions.

We decorate the fence

There are several ways to decorate the old fence:

Climbing plants.
Trees.
Bushes.

Plants with dark foliage, planted in the corners of the fence, visually create depth.

We care about lighting

We have placed around the entire perimeter garden lights solar powered. By outside walls houses have hung up special lanterns that react to movement. You can buy these on Jum or Aliexpress for about 500 rubles. We keep a mini ground floodlight just in case.

DIY flower beds

Worn tires are the cheapest. In addition, they are easy to paint on. They are placed in a different order around the perimeter of the site. Some make flower beds out of plastic bottles... However, they do not look as solid as brick or stone ones.

Today, vertical flower beds are popular, which perfectly save space on the site. .

We equip the children's area

A children's recreation area is quite easy to equip.

I looked through many ideas on the Internet and chose the most affordable:

The sandbox can be purchased on the children's toys website, but it's cheaper to do it yourself ... My husband made it out of boards, I painted it in bright colors. We put paving slabs under the sand. The children were delighted, and the acquaintances thought we bought it. Don't forget the sandbox cover.
We cut out stumps of various heights from the logs, painted them in bright colors and buried in the ground around the playground. It looks fun, and children love to walk and jump on them.
What is a playground without a swing? We bought summer cottage option specifically for children on Avito for only 1500 rubles.

Arranging a summer cottage with your own hands is a process that can be safely called continuous. Every year, coming out of town, we find many objects that deserve our close attention: here you need to fix a rickety fence, lay a path here, and here it would be nice to equip a flower bed.

And although an entire encyclopedia may not be enough to describe every detail of this process, below we will try to collect a number of the most useful recommendations... By following them, you can streamline your work and significantly increase their efficiency. So there will still be time for rest!

Dividing the cottage into zones

Before equipping a summer cottage, you need to conditionally divide its area into functional zones. Of course, it is advisable to do this even at the design stage, but for putting things in order in the country house, which is actively exploited, it will also not be superfluous.

Experts distinguish three main areas:

Residential, which includes a house and an adjoining territory... Here, the priority is communications (water, electricity, sewerage), paths and access roads, as well as the features of the building itself. The main factors to look out for are comfort and safety.
Recreational - everything related to rest (active and not so)... Perhaps, examples of arranging a summer cottage here will be the most diverse, ranging from terraces and lawns to outdoor exercise machines, basketball courts, tennis courts, etc.

Gardening... This can include both a front garden with flowers and an alpine slide in front of the house, as well as a greenhouse with outbuildings for equipment. However, the main part of this zone is, of course, a garden and beds, which can be considered an integral part of almost every summer cottage.

When we equip a summer cottage with our own hands, we should visually divide these zones among ourselves, placing them so that they do not intersect. In this case, our stay outside the city will turn out to be much more comfortable, since we can easily switch from one type of activity to another, and at the same time we will not interfere with each other.

House territory

We will try to limit ourselves to only the most important ones, and start with those that relate directly to the area near the house:

One of the key points that you should pay attention to will be the arrangement of the entrance to the summer cottage... For this purpose, either a gravel site is usually equipped (layer thickness from 50 cm, fraction 25-35 mm), or monolithic slab from concrete / asphalt concrete. The price of the second option is much higher, but on the other hand concrete pavement much easier to keep clean.

Note!
An important element of the entrance area is drainage ditch, which ensures the drainage of rainwater.

The area in front of the house is usually connected to all other objects on the site by means of paths... Arranging the tracks of the summer cottage with your own hands can go along the most different schemes... The cheapest option is gravel, but if your financial capabilities allow it, then you can lay out all the paths paving slabs on a sand cushion or concrete monolithic base.

Also on adjoining territory standing in the rain... It can only close small area in front of the porch, or it can cover the entire area, including the parking space. Usually such awnings are mounted on steel supports, and translucent polycarbonate is used as a covering.
An important factor providing comfort will be the lighting of the local area.... Naturally, this requires a stable power supply, and renting a diesel generator for a summer residence will help here: even if the electricity is turned off, you will not be left without electricity.

Rest zone

If you do not know where to start planning a recreational site, then we recommend that you think about creating:

For this purpose, we select a small area that will not be shaded by either a house or tall trees. If necessary, we bring fertile soil to the site, carefully level it and sow it with lawn grasses.

Note!
Lawn grasses are resistant to trampling, but they must be cut regularly.

You can also break an alpine slide on such a site. We lay out its basis from natural stone: Limestone is best, slightly worse - granite or quartzite. We fill the gaps between the stones with fertile soil, in which we plant the plants.
Finally, if yours is empty large territory, then you can make a pond on it. Of course, digging and concreting the bowl itself will have to work a lot, because today special plastic containers that are installed flush with the ground level are gaining popularity.

Garden

When deciding how to equip a small summer cottage, many of us focus on exactly the part where vegetables and fruits can be grown.

This approach can be considered quite rational, however, here it is worth adhering to a number of recommendations:

First, the beds must be placed in such a way that there is enough light for them. That is why trees are usually planted in the immediate vicinity of the country house, and the garden is planted at a distance - so it will not be shaded throughout the day.

Note!
This does not apply shade-loving plants: for them, a plot is usually assigned either next to the garden, or generally under the crowns of trees.

Especially carefully you need to choose a place for installing greenhouses. In addition to a sufficient amount of sunlight, this area should be protected from the wind, especially in the spring.
The beds themselves should be trimmed from the paths with bumpers made of boards or plastic shields: this way the black soil will not be lost, and we will apply much less dirt to the recreation area and to the house.

To ensure sufficient abundant watering during a dry season, it is worth considering such an option as arranging a well at a summer cottage. Despite all the labor costs associated with this event, it can be considered justified: this way we will not only provide ourselves with high-quality water for drinking and irrigation, but also insure ourselves against water supply outages, which usually occur at the most inopportune moment.
Well, if growing vegetables is a rather serious hobby for you, then you should equip your own in the garden. pumping station... Such an installation will make it possible to water the beds with a hose, and to mount an economical, but effective system drip irrigation.

Output

Options for arranging a summer cottage, as well as recommendations for performing certain works, can be listed endlessly. The main thing here is to understand what exactly we want from our summer cottage, to plan the work and start the systematic implementation of our project. It may take more than one year, but if we follow the advice, similar topics, which are set out in the video in this article, then we will definitely succeed.

When you have a house on the site, a barn, and everything else is wasteland. I want to do everything beautifully, but there is not a lot of money in my pocket. How to proceed?

1. One of the main conditions is not to rush. Remember the wise saying: hurry up and make people laugh. Here it is very useful. Dozens of times I witnessed how people spent their last money on seedlings that were not at all suitable for their plots, or even worse, were intended only for southern climate... Plants disappeared, people were discouraged. And, of course, beauty never appeared. They again bought something they just liked, planted it, then uprooted it, mourning another failure. And as a result, it often happens that a very large amount of money has been wasted. AND IT WAS POSSIBLE TO SAVE! By no means follow this example!

2. One of the main tips -draw up a site design project or just a plan. It may not be perfect without special knowledge - but it's better than nothing! Think carefully about the plants you want. Read their characteristics, since there is plenty of information now.

3. First of all, we plant the so-called green skeleton of the site: trees, shrubs. Of course, let's get to the garden right away. If possible, we allocate a separate piece of land for it, depending on needs. An important tip: if you are not going to trade in fruits, then the following set is quite enough for a family of 4-5 people:

3 apple trees (early, medium, winter),
2 pears (summer, winter),
2 plums,
2 cherries
3 black currant,
1 Red currant,
2 gooseberries
optional Japanese quince, sea buckthorn.

In the southern regions, add two peaches, two apricots, grapes.

At first, this seems insufficient to some, and they buy much more seedlings, and then they often do not know what to do with the products, and the shadows on the site become more and more. Then the saw starts up. Here's another article of savings. Assess the number of plants not offhand, but with your mind. And one more thing: buy seedlings only in proven nurseries, moreover, look for an affordable price: the choice is huge today in almost all regions.

4. Let's continue working with trees and shrubs. This time with decorative ... If the site is small, there is clearly no room for large trees. But, fortunately, there are also low forms. One or two would very well play the role of dominant and vertical. If possible, you can make a forest edge, say, from mountain ash, maple, birch, spruce. If you cut them off constantly, you can reshape them and stop their growth.

THIS IS A VERY ECONOMICAL OPTION : inexpensive seedlings can be bought in forestries or taken from neighbors. If the forest is not far away, then obviously the wind will bring a seed to someone on the site and a seedling will appear there. As it happened, for example, on our site. Once we noticed two tiny pines, two birches and one maple. They were indescribably surprised and delighted: we just at this place wanted to make a forest corner, but all hands did not reach. And now the trees are growing up, and we cherish them and admire them. These are the real miracles.

Concerning ornamental shrubs, then they are simply irreplaceable even in the smallest area. And first of all, think about which ones to use for your hedge. She, in my opinion, should be at any site. It is beautiful, comfortable and the microclimate is improving.

There is no money for thuja - and it is not necessary! Moreover, those who are fenced with thujas from all sides for reasons - expensive means great - loses a lot: this is too much from an aesthetic point of view (a huge monochromatic gamut of green, which is already in abundance on the site) and from a psychological (large the number of conifers is oppressive, especially children).

So if you still want to use thuja, then let them act for you, say, only as guards at the entrance to the site or as a rare hedge on the front side of the house. But even in this case, there is an opportunity not to waste too much. You can buy a small seedling or even plant it from seeds or take cuttings from a neighbor. Yes, it takes time for it to grow. But it will be your real brainchild.

The majority deciduous shrubs much cheaper. Again, many of them cut well and grow quickly. Weigels, cotoneaster, hydrangeas, privet, forsythia, white turf, euonymus, Ginnal maple (perfectly cut to any height) are suitable.

Or, if you wish, you can twist the fence with an unpretentious perennial girlish grapes, curly beans or plant sunflowers, mallow.

Will look great alone flowering shrub or a group, say, on the lawn, in the recreation area, by the gazebo. You can always get lilacs for a purely symbolic payment (many of its species give growth, from which people are happy to get rid of), rose hips or jasmine.

AND NOW ATTENTION! - THE MOST VALUABLE LIVING ADVICE - ALWAYS BE FRIENDS WITH THE NEIGHBORS! And it is better not to beg for plants from them, but change or treat them to pies, kebabs, invite for tea (it certainly will not require significant expenses), and so on. Then colleagues-gardeners-florists themselves will be happy to bring you seedlings and cuttings.

5. Let's go further. It would be nice to pay attention to the tracks. When they are in order, the site is immediately transformed. If you have broken, chipped tiles, it is better to say goodbye to them without regret, at least in the front area. Various material there are a lot of paths now.

But we're talking about a cheap option. Then it could be an ordinary gray concrete tile made with my own hands, interspersed with colored pebbles. Or even colored tiles, if you add dyes to the cement.

And a track made of ordinary gray stones collected in the fields will cost you almost free of charge. This material is beautiful, durable and fashionable at all times. Moreover, even any woman can make such a path. And, say, in a recreation area, you can make from larger and flatter stones step by step... A grass path is also good, only it must be kept within the intended width and mowed in time.

6. Never settle for a temporary greenhouse made of motley material, crooked sticks, broken window frames etc. This is a cross on all the beauty of the site. Everyone knows that nothing is more permanent than temporary. It is better not to start a greenhouse at all than to ruin everything with it. If you really need it - save money for it and buy parts for it or finished structure... After all, this is for many years.

7. Set aside a place in the front area for the lawn, even small. He is a real decoration for the site. Sow the lawn yourself by reading about the technology or watching our video course “Doing beautiful lawn". And always keep him in good shape.

8. As for flower beds ... Again, don't buy plants for them that you don't know anything about. You will save a lot if you create perennial flower beds, and only plant annuals from which you can easily collect seeds in sufficient quantities. Of course, research the prices and buy seeds and seedlings at a lower price.

9. Be sure to set aside a place for rockeries or a piece of Japanese garden ... Costs can be minimal. They mainly need stones, pebbles, moss, a few conifers and a lot of ground cover plants. Another advantage - they feel great even on the north side and in the shade. And how beautiful it is!

On the banks of the river, our friends bought an abandoned piece of land, which is a wasteland covered with hillocks and irregularities, overgrown with bushes and weeds.

Arrangement of the territory

Four years of hard work made it possible to build a country house with all the city amenities and turn the surrounding area into a piece of paradise.

House project, its internal organization and landscape design was carried out by the mistress of the summer cottage on her own. Since the summer cottage was created for recreation in the summer, most of the land was allocated for a green lawn and flower beds.

Only a small portion of the land in the far corner behind the house was used to set up a greenhouse and green beds. There were also planted currant bushes and apple-trees with plums.

In order to keep the paths dry and clean in rainy weather, they were paved with paving slabs raised above ground level. As a result, it became possible to walk around the territory of the summer cottage even in indoor slippers.

For the entire length of the suburban area from the gate, a wide path was made, which ends with a canopy without walls, intended for parking a car. The canopy allows not only to protect the car from precipitation and solar radiation, but also under it to do household chores in rainy weather.

A garage canopy of this design is successful. design solution, since it does not obstruct the eye and fits well into overall design suburban area.

The owners of the suburban area are very hospitable people. Relatives and friends often visit them. Thanks to the wide path from the gate, up to six cars can be accommodated in the courtyard at once.

Between the fence and the wide path, there is a strip of land on which flowers and spruce forests are planted.

Along the opposite side of the track and green lawn also equipped with a flower bed.

All paths are made of gray and red paving slabs. A narrow path leads to the house from a wide road.

Front front door a spacious open veranda overlooking the river. It has a table and chairs. After visiting the steam room on the veranda on summer evenings in any weather, it is very pleasant to have dinner with soft drinks and barbecue in the company of friends.

On the summer cottage, before the start of the construction of the house, an outbuilding was built, consisting of three separate rooms with doors. Two entrances are equipped with a small common porch with a canopy. One of the rooms has a window overlooking the river. It has a bed with a bedside table for guests to sleep in. The second room has no windows and serves as a workshop, and the third is used to store inventory and tools.

Next to the utility house, opposite the veranda, there is a platform covered with paving slabs for grilling kebabs on the grill. Nearby there is a place for a mobile garden rocking sofa.

Flower beds and flower beds

Looking at the photos published above, you probably noticed that almost all, even on the smallest plots of land between the paths, flower beds and flower beds are made. The owner of the suburban area fantastically loves flowers, and is ready to deal with them tirelessly from morning to evening, which, by the way, does all her free time.

She treats flowers like relatives and therefore the thought of asking her to pick at least one flower for a bouquet does not even occur to her mind. She buys flowers for a bouquet as a gift, despite the abundance of her own, in a flower shop.

By the way, if you need a simple or exquisite bouquet of flowers for a special occasion, then you can order it online with home delivery to any city not only in Russia, but also in the World, in the specialized online store "Megaflowers".

The pride of the hostess of the summer cottage is the spacious green lawn. Although it often has to be cut, there is a place for children to run barefoot, play ball games and badminton.

A low fence with a wicket in the center separates the suburban area from the public area. There is a flowerbed in front of the fence, separated from the path by wooden chocks. In addition to flowers, there are Christmas trees on the flowerbed, each of which is planted in honor of one of the granddaughters and named after them. Children will grow and watch how spruce grows with them. It will be very interesting for children.

Marigold flowers are planted along a low fence on the side of the river. On the left side of it, next to the canopy, there is a box with a tight lid for the disposal of food waste and plant waste.

Almost the entire area not occupied by a green lawn, a greenhouse and a small vegetable garden is planted with spruce forests and flowers.

The corners between the paths are also beautifully decorated with paving slabs. Not flashy, but tasteful.

A flower garden in the form of an alpine slide decorates the edge grass lawn. Original composition and harmonious combination different colors in combination with boulders and pebbles is admirable. The photo shows a view from the second floor of the country house.

The flowerbed of the alpine slide is not symmetrical, and when looking at it from different sides a completely different composition of flowers opens.

And in this photo, on the site of last year's alpine slide, a new one has been created, which has a larger size and with a different design. For a detailed acquaintance, I decided to present photographs of plants and flowers in close-up.

In the photo there is a perennial, unpretentious to the soil, sun-loving golden cinquefoil, with beautiful yellow flowers growing on an alpine slide. The plant is not afraid of frost, and tea from Lapchatka has medicinal properties... Golden cinquefoil begins to bloom, usually in the second half of summer.

And this is thyme (creeping thyme), popularly called "Bogorodskaya grass". Thyme is a very beautiful perennial plant with a noble aroma, which numbers about 400 species. It comes in different colors. Thyme is also medicinal plant... Blooms from early June to late July. Thyme is great for making alpine slides.

This flower is called a stone rose, a relative of cacti, which has nothing to do with ordinary roses, except that rosettes are similar in shape, and there are leaves along the edges color pink... The Latin name is Sempervivum, which means "always alive". Unpretentious beautiful perennial plant with fleshy leaves, odorless. Ideal for an alpine slide.

Heather is an evergreen undersized perennial (grows up to 30 years), shrub plant and blooms in our latitudes from July-August to late autumn. Heather is a light-loving plant, and with a sufficient amount of sun, the flowers are saturated with color and do not fall off for a long time. Excellent honey plant and bees never fly by. The flowers are small, lilac or lilac-pink. The bushes grow up to a height of 60 cm. Heather is the national flower of Norway, as the Heather fields occupy more than half of the country's area.

The Jacobsen dwarf mountain pine has a beautiful decorative form and surprises with its fluffiness. The needles are not prickly and it is pleasant to touch them with your hands. This coniferous plant is unpretentious to the soil and grows in any conditions, loves the sun, is not afraid of frost. The height of an adult plant does not exceed 40 cm, which makes mountain pine an ideal ephedra for alpine slides.

Due to the unusual red color of the leaves, it is very popular among gardeners. perennial flower Heuchera. Garden Heuchera is the fruit of the work of American breeders. Geichera does not like direct sunlight and grows better in the shade of other plants.

The flowering time of Heucher depends on the temperature. environment and illumination. Due to the bright red color of the leaves and beautiful flowers Geuchera is great in combination with other plants to create alpine slides. It is better to plant Heuchera in the shade of conifers or other flowers, so that the sun's rays fall on it only at sunrise or sunset.

This is another variation conifers... Unfortunately, I don't know the scientific name of this tree.

Sizaya canadian spruce Conica is originally from Canada. Dwarf variety grows in ten years to a height of only one meter. This is a very beautiful ephedra, excellent, like common spruce growing in our latitudes.

You probably don't need to imagine a lily flower. Lily is the oldest of famous colors, a flower of purity and purity. There are thousands of legends about Lily. Lily is considered the flower of kings. Everyone knows and loves this one beautiful flower... In the photo, Canadian lily.

This photo is also a lily, only bright red.

Roses are perhaps the most popular flowers for expressing the feelings of the giver. Thanks to the variety of shades of rosebuds, they were "taught" to convey attitude without words. Scarlet rose or a bouquet is given when expressing romantic love and passion, a gift of a red rose bud expresses confusion, affectionate attitude will accentuate the pale pink bouquet of roses. It is customary to give a dark pink bouquet as a sign of gratitude.

Astilba is an unpretentious frost-resistant perennial plant with bright red flowers. There are varieties that bloom with other flowers. Flowers can reach a height of 60 cm and rise beautifully above low-growing grass and other flowers.

Pansies are popularly called tricolor violet. These pretty flowers seem to be looking at us. Pansies are one of the most unpretentious flowers for environmental conditions, blooming from early spring to late autumn.

Combination of petal colors Pansy tends to infinity. This is one of the favorite flowers of gardeners.

Cannes is exotic flowers for our latitudes. The flowers are very beautiful and the petals in one flower can be of different colors. Cannes are great flowers for decorating a summer cottage.

And this Gatsania flower attracted a bee, and she collects nectar. Gatsania, or gazania, is a South African flower that looks like a Russian chamomile. Flowers appear from July and are pleasing to the eye until the end of the season. The flower loves an abundance of sunlight and has an attractive appearance.

Gatsania flower has color range sunlight, and therefore it is difficult to look away from it.
