Decorative garden is not yet the most popular element in the landscape design of home gardens in the countries of the former Soviet Union. It is understandable, because too many people remember the rampant "garden boom", when in conditions of total deficit it was necessary to cultivate the treasured 6 hectare with the goal of growing on them moody vegetables. The result of prolonged torment, which began in the winter with growing seedlings on the windowsill, as a rule, was not an entirely successful harvest, which clearly did not cost the effort. Therefore, our compatriots rushed to the extreme, completely forcing the gardens in the plots and replacing them with flower beds.
Meanwhile, in vain, because the device of a decorative garden, so popular in Europe, allows you to "kill two birds with one stone" - and diversify the landscape design, and get a fresh crop of simple crops. In addition, it is extremely convenient - you can pick up the necessary greens and lettuce leaves in your garden and there is no need to run to the market.
Design of a decorative kitchen garden
Creating a decorative garden with their own hands is a very troublesome task, as plants require careful care: drainage, irrigation, fertilizer. But the result, as a rule, justifies all expectations, so there is something for which to rasstaratsya.
The first thing to begin with is the design of the garden - this is the thinking over the scheme and planning the place. It should take into account the characteristics of the soil, lighting and the requirements of the crops that you plan to plant. It is important to pay attention and decorate the beds: they can be trimmed with curb tiles. Special modular structures will allow creating separate compositions throughout the site.
Plants for ornamental gardens
To decorate the garden you should choose plants that, above all, look attractive throughout the period of their growth. For these purposes, well suited:
- Melissa;
- basil;
- rhubarb;
- decorative cabbage ;
- decorative physalis;
- decorative maize;
- decorative pumpkin;
- lettuce curly.
It should be remembered that the cultivation of crops for the sake of harvest and for the sake of decor - different things. However, you should take into account not only the aesthetic component - how plants will be combined with each other and look in the group, but also how compatible they are and can successfully grow and yield, growing next to each other.
