Interesting forms of flower beds. We make a flower bed and a flower garden in the country

Flower beds and flowerbeds on the plot are intended primarily for aesthetic pleasure. But in addition to this, they play another important role: acting as a continuation of the house, flower arrangements allow you to visually combine the appearance of the building with the vegetation of the garden into a single whole. Knowing the secrets of landscape designers on how to design a flower bed will allow any gardener to create floral arrangements in his suburban area that, in addition to aesthetic appeal, will create an atmosphere of harmony and comfort.

Thinking over the design of the flowerbed with your own hands, it is advisable to follow the basic rules of landscape design.

Rule # 1 - picture integrity

Garden - a picture that develops from a collection of landscape compositions. The task of the gardener: to bring each of the elements of the landscape to perfection. Pointless planting of plants in the area will not give the desired result. Therefore, not being able to plant greenery on the entire territory, for a start it is worth ennobling only a small part of it, but making it complete.

Beautiful harmonious flower beds are created by combining mixed plantings, in which there are both annuals and perennials, both flowering and decorative deciduous plants

Rule # 2 - placement of plants by growth

The principle of multi-tier provides for the placement of ground cover and low-growing plants in the foreground, which act as a frame for beautiful flowering medium-sized flowers.

Medium-tall perennials, speaking soloists of the flower garden, will become the center of attention. Solitaires look most impressive against the background of tall plants having decorative foliage or flowers of contrasting shades. Successful and combinations of tall perennials and their medium-tall escorts, harmonizing in color and shape.

Quite unpretentious and at the same time possessing an expressive texture of leaves and color diversity, the ground covers, capable of filling up empty spaces pretty quickly, are ideal for decorating flower beds in the country

Rule # 3 - Flower Garden Architecture

Depending on the landscape features of the site and its size, the design of flower beds can be performed both in the form of flat compositions, and slightly raised and framed by decorative tiles or stones.

The shapes of flower beds can be very diverse, starting with free ones that do not have pronounced borders and ending with original curly and wave-like

In order to give an unusual shape to the flower garden, you can use any household items: barrels and baskets, old cars, boats and even beds

In order to decorate the flowerbed in front of the house, which will become an expressive decoration of the garden and will delight with blooming splendor throughout the season, you must first draw her plan on paper. This creative work will allow not only to organize thoughts in the head, but also to visualize the images of floral arrangements, creating the most successful combinations.

It is advisable to use colored pencils for work: bright colors of spots of schematic images of group and pinpoint tapeworm plantings in the flower garden will allow you to correctly distribute plants with different colors and flowering times

According to the plan, terry mallow (1) will be placed in the background next to the decorative sunflower Bear (2), in front of it are bushes of poppy (3) and St. John's wort (4). Lobelia tape (5) will add dynamism to the composition. Catnip (6), bell (7) and Kalanchoe (8) will place purple-blue accents. Gravity (9), stonecrop (10) and aquilegia (11) will occupy the foreground

The drawn up scheme is only a kind of rough sketch: the final decision on the optimal placement of flowers will come during planting.

Schemes for the original design of flower beds

By carefully selecting and combining flowering plants, you can create many variations of flower beds, in which beauty will reign from the first days of spring until the frosts. Significantly facilitate the process of creating flower beds will allow finished projects of flower beds.

Option # 1 - a central flower bed

The layout of the central flower bed is one of the simplest.

The shape of the flower garden has the form of concentric circles: the center is filled with dark-leafed cannons (1), which act as soloists of the composition, then green-leafed cannes (2), decorative leaf hyphalium (3) and snapdragon (4) are planted in circles.

Option # 2 - "Vienna Flower"

One of the ways to beautifully design a round flowerbed is to create a composition in the shape of a flower. The flowerbed, designed in the form of a six-leaf flower, looks especially elegant and festive, and therefore it is desirable to allocate a central place in the garden for its arrangement.

The center of the composition is the beautiful white levkoy (1), the border is the alpine forget-me-not border planting (2) against the background of lawn grass (3). The outer contour of the ornament is created by viols (4), primroses (5), zinnias (6), framed by decorative foliage motley beauties alternater (7) and achirants (8)

Option # 3 - “Fancy Pattern”

A round flowerbed decorated with many repeating wave-like elements, which are decorated with a motley company of sun-loving perennials, allows you to create a real parade of flowers on the sunny scene.

In the center of the flowerbed there was a squat chamerops (1) with a chic crown of fan leaves, a dahlia of zinnia covered in its shadow (2), the contrasting background of which was a coleus (3). Tapestry plantings of dracaena (4) in combination with group plantings of pelargonium (5) and begonia (6) create a fancy curl pattern that looks spectacular against the background of lawn grass (7)

Option # 4 - “A piece of cake” in a corner of the garden

A flower garden of this shape can be found in any corner of the garden.

A floral arrangement in burgundy-red tones, bordered by a silver edge, occupying just a couple of meters of area, will become an elegant decoration for the garden

The corner of the flower bed is filled with three bush of daylily with maroon flowers (1), the contrasting background for them are silvery wormwood leaves (2). The center of the composition is the bushes of bright red heichera (3), the bushes of the Macedonian bartender (4) are the corner elements, and the silver edge is the brush (5)

The proposed schemes are only a guideline: for the lack of desire or the ability to purchase one or another plant, it can always be replaced with a more favorite flower, presented in the same color scheme and having similar flowering periods.

It is difficult to imagine a garden without flowers. Usually flower beds are given an honorable place on the site, as they decorate landscape design, emphasize its main elements and hide flaws. To make the flowerbed look as attractive as possible, it is worth considering the illumination of the selected place, the possibility of watering, the relief of the entire territory, as well as choosing suitable plants by color, shape and flowering time.

4 rules for creating a beautiful flower garden

1. Tall plants plant closer to the center.
2. Match harmonious color combinations.
3. Along the edges of the plants are planted densely, and rarely to the center.
4. Avoid complex designs when designing.

Ideas for creating flower beds

A flower bed is a flower garden that rises slightly above the landscape and has the correct geometric shape. Most often, the flower bed can be found near the entrance to the house, in the alley or at the intersection of the garden paths of the site.

Making a bed of natural stone is quite simple, because this does not require complex installation activities. Decide on the shape and size, and then around the perimeter make a small fence of stones. After that, fill the flower bed with soil and plant the plants. In this way, you can embellish the existing flower beds on the site, and if you want the flower bed to be at a slight elevation, you will have to make a little more effort.

Originally, large smooth cobblestones or stones of the most unusual shape look on the site. After you decide on the place of the future flowerbed, you need to remove the top layer of the earth, about 10-15 cm. Fill the formed hole with rubble, sand or gravel. On the sides of the flower garden you need to fill in the cement-sand mixture and gently ram it.

Now proceed to laying the walls of the flowerbed. Stones must be selected so that they fit snugly against each other. It is recommended to stitch the seams every 2 hours to seal the solution. When the wall reaches the required height, its upper part needs to be leveled with cement mortar, rubbed or make a decorative pattern. Waterproofing mastic needs to be treated on the inside of the wall to protect it from destruction. When the entire structure has dried, plants can be planted in the center.

Beautiful flowerbed of wooden boards

If your garden has a wooden house or a gazebo, then a flower bed is best made from boards. One of the easiest options is to use an old barrel or tub. Knock out the bottom, and then treat the inner surface with a special compound that protects against decay. Decide on the place where your flowerbed will decorate the site. Remove the topsoil and fill it with gravel. After that, install a barrel or tub, fill with soil and plant plants.

The flowerbed from logs or boards will look original. Take boards with a width of up to 10 cm and a thickness of 2-3, sand the surface, cover with sealant and varnish. Separately, make pegs whose ends are gummed. Drive the pegs into the ground, and then make the walls of the flowerbed out of planks and connect the structure. You can try to make a flower bed out of pegs by driving them close together, and then pull a hoop or wire for strength.

If your house is made of timber with chopped walls, make a flowerbed in the same style. Pick up logs of approximately the same diameter. The lower logs need to be cut lengthwise by ½ diameter. The logs that will be used to increase the height of the walls must be prepared as follows: on one side, make along the groove equal to half the diameter. To connect the logs to the crowns, they need to be cut from both sides.

A bed of logs for giving. Photo ideas.

Where there will be a flowerbed, remove the top layer of the earth and fill a hole with rubble. It is recommended to lay roofing material around the perimeter of the flower garden to make waterproofing and reduce the effect of soil on the tree. Do not forget to process the logs themselves with a protective sealant. Now stack the logs of the lower layer, and from above across the logs with grooves. To make the flowerbed strong, fasten the logs with a dagger.

Brick buildings look favorably on any site. In addition, a flowerbed can be formed from a brick perfectly flat or curved. The wall of the flower garden can also adjoin the house, while it will be necessary to consider how to make waterproofing so as not to damage the wall.

Before making a flowerbed of brick, carefully prepare the base. To do this, level a small area and fill it with concrete. The thickness of the concrete base depends on the height of the walls, for example, for a flower bed in 5 brick rows, it is enough to fill the pit with a depth of 15 cm with concrete. It is recommended to reinforce the foundation longer than 2 m. The surface of the foundation should dry well, so it is best to start laying in 2 weeks.

The masonry of the flowerbed occurs as well as the masonry of the house. Initially, the angles are built, their evenness is checked with the help of a level, and then the walls are laid out. In the bottom row, some seams do not need to be filled with mortar, as there should be drainage holes in the flowerbed.

Constantly control how smooth the walls are with the help of the level so that the finished structure decorates the garden and harmoniously blends into the design. After the walls of the flower garden are a suitable height, you need to perform the last decorative layer of brickwork. At the same time, try to ensure that all seams are the same. It remains to carry out the jointing until the mortar has hardened and the flowerbed is ready.

Flower girls for the garden

Flowers do not have to be planted in specially equipped flowerbeds. Originally, flower girls will look at the site, in the role of which can be pots, tubs, barrels or flowerpots. These mini flower beds can be moved to the house or to the greenhouse during the winter season, as well as create a creative composition in the garden.

Before choosing which flower girl to make, decide on the type of planted plants and their features.

If the platform is concreted near the house, then a flower girl with a trellis grid will help to give her a beautiful appearance. This design has undeniable advantages: it is simple, suitable for different plants and can be moved from place to place.

The flower box is made of boards 3 cm thick, and its dimensions depend on where you want to place it. The shape of the box should resemble a trapezoid. Separately, the walls and bottom are assembled, and then the structure is knocked together into a single whole. In the center of the drawer, we recommend installing a partition so that it is strong and rigid. In order to remove excess moisture, special holes are made in the bottom of the box.

Once the box is ready, proceed to collect the grate. On a flat surface, start laying the rails in such a way that, due to the intersections, 10 × 10 squares are obtained. Reiki is glued with glue at the intersection. The finished grate can be nailed to the drawer or made it stand-alone. You can use two bars 2 m long and 5 cm in diameter to make racks for the grill.

A flower girl with a lattice will help not only to decorate the area near the house, but also the facade of the house. Fix the grate on the wall of the house with screws and dowels. If you want plants to beautifully braid the grid, do not fasten it close to the wall. Using the brackets, the flower pot can also be mounted on the wall or mounted under the grill. To prevent rotting of the tree, the box and the grate itself are treated with antiseptics, and a layer of waterproofing is laid under the box.

The lattice made of bamboo stems or reed will look original. Thick stems are set directly into the pot, which is filled with earth, and then crate with thin stems. A vine lattice will also look beautiful.

Concrete Flower Girls

Cement is widely used in arranging garden paths, stairways, but you can also make decorative flower beds out of it that will be in harmony with the overall design of the site. The cost of cement is quite reasonable, and working with it is very convenient. Therefore, if you want to make beautiful   do-it-yourself flower girl   made of inexpensive material, concrete is the optimal solution.

Mix cement, water and filler in a 2: 1: 6 ratio to make a concrete mortar. If you want the finished product not to be very heavy, you can use sawdust or peat as a filler. If the flower girl is not portable, but stationary, then you can take sand or gravel.

The main advantage of concrete is that it can be used to make products of any shape, size and color. Ready flower girls will be quite stable, so they are not afraid of hurricanes and strong winds. In addition, concrete flower girls have good breathability, so the plants grow well in them. Concrete flowerpots can be tinted or painted both during the manufacturing process and over time.

The appearance of the outer surface of the concrete flower bed depends on the size of the filler used in the mixture. A smoother and brighter shape is obtained if fine-grained sand is used, and rough sand is made from coarse-grained sand. Some experts recommend using a mixture of cement, peat and sand in a ratio of 2: 4: 3. Although the outer surface of the product will be rough and a little rough, the flowerpot itself will turn out to be lighter than in the case of using pure sand or gravel.

The container for plants made of concrete can be made colored. To do this, use special color pigments, which are diluted in water and pour instead of clean water during the preparation of the concrete mixture. Keep in mind that after the product has completely dried, its color will become lighter than the color of the liquid solution. If in doubt, have you chosen the right color pigment concentration, make trial products in the form of stones. Remember that the finished cement structure after drying can be painted with special paints for outdoor use.

First time working with cement mortar? It is best to choose a simple container design, and after you have already gained certain building skills, proceed to the complex design of flower pots. The formwork is made of wooden boards, while for external formwork they need to be connected with screws so that the boards can be easily removed after drying. If you connect plates with a relief pattern from the inside to the formwork, then the outside of the flowerpot will have an original structure. To make drainage holes, before pouring concrete mixture, insert a piece of pipe or a thick stick into the formwork. Drainage holes should be in the center if the flower bed is round and along the perimeter in a row, if the product is rectangular. Holes can also be made on the side walls, closer to the bottom. To reinforce the concrete structure, reinforcement will help (you can use wire or mesh). The reinforcement is laid so that it is in the center of the concrete walls.

When the formwork is ready, a layer of up to 10 cm of concrete mix is \u200b\u200blaid in its center. Then, the inner formwork is installed at the same distance from each wall. In order for the formwork to be stable, heavy stones are laid on its bottom. Fill the cavity between the two formwork around the perimeter with concrete mixture. Do not forget to mix the concrete mixture so that air bubbles come out.

The concrete structure must dry for a week, and then the formwork can be removed. With a wire brush, you can process the corners of the flower girl and give the wall a rough structure. Using a stencil on the walls, you can apply various patterns and patterns.

It is permissible to use basins, bathtubs, plastic buckets and other utensils for casting the shape of the pot. To make it easier to remove the inner formwork, wrap it with foil.

Wooden tubs are ideal not only for garden plants, but also for trees. You can make such a tub yourself without having professional skills and knowledge. Keep in mind that the larger the shape, the heavier it is. Therefore, if you plan to move plants in the winter to the greenhouse, make a tub with wheels. Most often, wooden flower girls are made of boards of coniferous trees, which are impregnated with special compounds.

Materials for the manufacture of wooden tubs:
  - polyethylene film;
  - boards;
  - corner posts;
  - glue waterproof;
  - nails.

On a flat surface, lay out the side racks for the bottom. Then make corners to connect the upper and lower side racks. After that, assemble the bottom and walls from the boards. All boards are glued together and fixed with nails. To the bottom you need to nail support boards that will raise the tub a short distance from the ground. To reduce the contact of the flowerpot with the ground, inside, wrap it with plastic wrap. The finished tub is coated with varnish or paint.

Wooden flower pots for the garden

Quite often, gardeners make flowerpots for flowers from improvised materials. For example, you can cut a beautiful flowerpot out of stumps or make a flower pot from oak barrels, old dishes or plastic bottles. There is one drawback of this approach: flower girls are very different from each other and violate the harmony in the design of the site.

To hide the shortcomings of colorful flowerpots made of different materials, we offer to hide them behind a wooden decorative fence. You can use old boards or pieces of plywood for this. The main thing is to pick up blanks that are approximately the same in width and thickness (their height can be up to 50 cm, and the width is about 70 cm). All boards must first be assembled into shields using nails and screws, and then attached to racks or metal corners. The bottom can be made removable or from bars. The main thing is to leave gaps to remove excess moisture.

Flowers in wooden tubs will need to be watered more often than in the ground, so worry in advance about processing a wooden product and protect it from rot. A tub can be painted with paint both externally and internally in several layers, then it will not lose its attractive appearance even over time.

Interesting on the site look floral trees that succinctly pour into the exterior between many flower pots. The height of such a tree can be any, most importantly, consider that the flowers will need to be watered, and constantly taking a stepladder for this is quite inconvenient.

The trunk of the tree itself is made of timber, to which then shelves for pots are nailed. The beam is installed in a special sleeve and digs into the ground. The shelves-floors are made quite simply from boards 20 cm and 54 cm long. On the shelves, first outline the places for the screws and drill holes. This is done so that it is convenient to attach the shelves to the slats. All elements of the flower tree are covered with paint to create an attractive appearance. Taper the top of the column and cover it with a cap to protect the tree from moisture.

Now place pots of plants on the shelves and form a floral arrangement. If you worry that the flowers will turn over, fasten the pots with fishing line or nylon tape.

In flower shops today, original vertical flower girls with special openings for plants are sold. In appearance, they resemble a pipe with holes. Such designs will appeal to lovers of climbing plants, as well as those who have a small area of \u200b\u200ba personal plot and need compact flower girls. You can try to independently perform this type of design.

Tire Flower Girls

The desire to ennoble the plot in the best way arises from each gardener. Of course, you can buy ready-made garden crafts or flowerpots in the store, but if you want to save money and give the territory an exclusive appearance, make flowerpots from tires from old wheels.

How to make a flower girl out of a tire

Most often, tires are used in the form in which they are used to create a flower bed or design a flower garden. They can be painted in any color and beautifully laid out on a hill. But from the tires, you can make the original flower girl, in which the relief worn surface of the tire will be hidden inside. Such a design will be interesting to look at in the country or near the house, while not everyone can understand from the first time what the flowerbed is made of.

Do-it-yourself flower garden

On the sides of the tire you need to draw a relief pattern with chalk. After that, with a sharp knife, they begin to figure out a portion of the tire to the metal cord. It is convenient to cut straight-line drawings with a knife, so if you have more complex shapes, use an electric jigsaw. It is recommended to wet the cut line with soapy water. After that, proceed to turning the tire inside out. First, turn in one place, and then move on to another part of the tire. After the tire is turned out, process curly edges using a grinding machine. If you want the flower girl to work with a stand, take a tire that has not been removed from the rim. You can also make the original stand for the flowerpot yourself, if you do not have a rim.

Do-it-yourself flower garden tire photo

Do you think that anyway such a flower girl resembles a car tire? Coat its parts with a primer and paint it, then any similarities will disappear. The advantage of this type of flower girl is that they are not subject to decay, even over time. In addition, you will find the use of old wheels that are littered in the garage.

There are a lot of ideas for decorating a flower bed and flower garden in a garden or on a personal plot. The main thing is to choose the right materials, colors and plants themselves, then your product will be no worse than a store.

With the advent of spring, many summer residents go to their garden plots. For any amateur gardener, it is important not only to grow vegetables, fruits and fruit trees on your plot, but also to give it a beautiful look that will delight not only the owners of the garden plot, but also all the neighbors and guests who arrived at the cottage.

Garden decoration is a kind of art. On your site there is the opportunity to create unforgettable paintings of flowers, expressing them with your inner world. After all, it’s not without reason that they say: “An artist paints his paintings with paints, and a flower grower with flowers.”

In this regard, summer residents planning a flower garden at a site have questions: what types of flowers are better to buy to make their site more beautiful, where and when is it better to plant them, with which you can decorate your flower garden?

Choice of design and planning

Let's consider in stages how to arrange flower beds with your own hands. First of all, it should be noted that the concepts of "flower garden" and "flowerbed" are identical. The flowerbed has the correct shape and is necessarily fenced with a border. But when creating a flower garden you can not follow the rules and give scope to your imagination.

When breeding a flower garden, it is necessary to take into account the following factors: general view and area of \u200b\u200bthe garden plot, the number of buildings and structures located on it, varieties of fruit and vegetable crops planted in different places of the plot, and also your financial capabilities.

There are exactly the opposite ways of arranging a flowerbed on a plot:

• coincidence in style and design with the appearance of the garden
• on the contrary, intentional and complete contrast with the garden

It should be noted that in the garden there can be many flower beds that differ in style and design.

Preparation for creating a flower garden in the country with your own hands should begin in the winter.

By the time the flowerbed is designed, it is necessary to clearly understand what kind of flowers will grow on it, and how it will look in general.

Moreover, it is necessary to purchase flower soil and specialized fertilizers for planting plants.

DIY flowerbed creation

Creating a flower bed with your own hands resembles transplanting a plant into a regular flower pot and takes a lot of time. However, there is nothing complicated in this process.

To create a flower bed on your garden plot you need:

• Prepare and clear a place for her;
• Remove topsoil;
• Be sure to make a drainage. For this, broken bricks and rubble are quite suitable;
• At the edges of the flower beds lay out a border;
• Pour new soil;
• Allow it to settle for at least 10-12 days;
• Start planting flowers.

A selection of plants for a flower arrangement

Flowers on the flowerbed must necessarily look beautiful and please the eye. However, you do not need to plant all the flowers that you have on it. If you do not have the opportunity to constantly go to the country, you should choose varieties of flowers that do not require special care.

To create a beautiful flower bed, you must be guided by the following tips:

• plants must be adapted to the same conditions. That is, flowers with the same requirements for care, weather conditions and land composition are planted on one site;
• pick plants that will bloom the entire period;
• be sure to consider the size of the plants;
• combine plants by color combination.

Most often, one to plant from eight to fifteen plant species. When creating a flower garden, it is necessary to use the principle of multi-tiered plants.

The highest flowers are placed in the center, and stunted plants are planted along the edges, as if framing them and the entire floral arrangement. Of great importance is also the side with which the flowerbed is open for viewing.

In addition to flowering, decorative-deciduous plants, usually perennials, can be present on the flowerbed.

Note!

It should be noted that the process of creating such a composition is a bit more complicated and requires a lot of imagination from the owner.

Planting plants

Plants are planted in two ways:

• by seeds;
• seedlings.

If you decide to plant seeds, you need to prepare everything in advance. In early spring, flower seeds are sown in horse peat.

Depending on the duration of flowering, plants are divided into three types:

• annuals (need to be planted annually);
• biennial (bloom profusely in the second year);
• perennial (blooming constantly, becoming more beautiful and magnificent every year).

When planting seeds, you need to separate one group of flowers from another, leaving a place between them. This is done so that the grown plants do not interfere with each other.

Note!

If the flowers grow too densely, they need to be broken through or transplanted part to a new place. To plant seedlings is much more convenient. In this case, you do not have to wait for seedlings to appear and the result will be visible much faster.

Flower beds require constant care. First of all, you need to regularly inspect the flower garden and remove wilted inflorescences. This stimulates perennial flowers to re-bloom and allows you to maintain a beautiful appearance of the plant.

An interesting design of a flower garden in the country

As a rule, to organize a beautiful flower garden, it does not require a lot of financial resources. To design a flower garden, you can use many home improvised means. This will give your flower garden a special individual style and make it look like a fairy tale.

To create a floral arrangement, any material can be used as far as imagination is enough for an amateur gardener.

You can use single "flowerpots" and furniture that has served its time, parts of wood, unnecessary materials for construction, almost all types of vehicles in which you can plant flowers.

Note!

Tires are very popular for creating flower beds. They can be laid one on top of another in the form of a fun slide. Remember what things you do not need at home. They can be very useful in the suburban area when creating a flower garden.

The advantage of such flower beds is that they are mobile and, if necessary, are easily rearranged to another place. It should be noted that the photos of flower beds decorated in this way will be simply amazing.

Decor elements when creating a flower garden

To add originality and zest, you can use special garden figurines, children's toys and decorations. Very often among the flower beds you can see figures of different animals and birds: hares, deer, squirrels, hedgehogs, swans, titmouses, as well as heroes from fairy tales: gnomes, Snow White, the Frog Princess and others.

In many cases, small toy mills, fountains, or castles are used in such compositions.

And the illuminated lanterns located around the perimeter give the whole picture an additional effect and elements of a fairy tale.

You can organize a flower garden in the courtyard of your house. Carefully thought out and made with a soul, it will bring not only aesthetic pleasure, but also make the atmosphere around your home magical and unforgettable.
