You do not know how to decorate your suburban area without resorting to professionals and without paying a lot of money? Consider the question: design flower beds at the cottage with your own hands, imagine the photo, give ideas.

How to start breaking down flower beds

Initially, you need to draw a plan on paper. Yes, the simplest way you see your flower garden is, what plants you would like to place there, what shape to give it (or them, if you plan several flower beds). Once you have decided on the shape (it may be the most unexpected), decide what colorings please your eye, you can even sketch out a preliminary draft with colored pencils. Next, think about what flower garden you would like to see before your eyes - which plants, mono-flower with one species, or a flower bed with many types of flowers that will differ in height, bushiness, flowering phase and so on.

Actually, you can create a flower garden where some flowers bloom in spring, others follow them, after them others bloom - and so on. That is, from early spring to the cold you will have constant flowering in the country - it is so beautiful, and so inspiring! Particularly good are the central gladioli in the flowerbed, see how to prepare their bulbs for planting.

We use wild stone, plastic bottles, tires

Of the various materials at hand you can very well, with a bit of imagination, arrange some wonderful flower gardens in the country. Unnecessary tires are lying around - put them to use! Paint with bright paint, set where you want, sprinkle good soil and plant your favorite flowers. See how beautiful it can look:

Many plastic or glass bottles have been assembled - we will use them too! Glass bottles can be dug around the perimeter of the flowerbed, it will be very nice. Plastic can be used in different ways: cut in the middle, fill it with earth and hang it on an arch, or place it along the fence. You can cut the bottle into several parts, dig them around the perimeter of the house, plant different plants in each. Or tie high bottoms to tie to an acre and plant hanging flowers in them - so beautiful! Or just run roses on the arch - luxuriously!

Build a vertical flowerbed of several pots of different colors, shapes and sizes, sow flowers that are similar in color and height. Or arrange an arch, run a creeper on it, and between them hang the same cut bottoms of bottles with bright colors. And also decorative shrubs will help you - they can so luxuriously mask unnecessary walls and pieces of the site.

How to make a flower bed

Initially, determine the site and shape, sprinkle the earth to raise the flower bed, highlighting it among the site. Make a border on which wild stone, saw cuts of trees, tires, any unnecessary utensils can go.

Now decide on the types of flowers and you can go for it! Plants can be planted by growth: first there are ground cover, followed by stunting, then medium-sized, and in the center you can plant the tallest single specimens with lush flowering and bright color.

You can make a flowerbed carpet by planting tightly different flowers of the same height and flowering time, and it will turn out like a carpet woven from flowers. But this is a very difficult task. The easiest way is to make a flower bed of 1-2 favorite flowers, choosing them of different colors, letting on the fringing small long-flowering type of marigolds that will decorate the interior of the flower bed and emphasize its beauty.

If there is a pond - you can decorate it with a floating flowerbed, landing it on a lightweight material such as polystyrene foam - it looks very beautiful and interesting.

In general, everything can be used for various flower beds and flower beds - old used cars, sinks, beds, chairs, all unnecessary utensils. If you look at it, decorate it, and plant flowers in it, setting it in a certain place on the site, you can get an amazing composition that will delight you and surprise guests. But what can be done from the old rotten deck, if you apply a little hand to it:
