Applying the skills of landscape design professionals is expensive. Isn't there something simple? budget method decorate the garden with scrap materials? Eat!
"Rainbow" in the rose garden
You will need a small plot of land, ordinary stones and acrylic paint. IN in this case the unsuccessfully overwintered remains of a rose garden act as an experimental site.
By the way! Anything can be useful, for example, wood cuts, from which you can build an excellent path for children and adults. It is better if the wood is dry. At least not wet.
This style of landscape design can be safely called “positivism”. It is ideal if you have children, you love flowers and think that summer is a time of bright colors.
Now it would be a good idea to mulch the hole. But there is no mulch. But there are stones. Smaller pebbles can be used as mulch. Carefully place small white pebbles on the leveled soil around the trunk. The radius is about 15 cm. If they are not white enough or even multi-colored, you can tint them right on the spot after laying them with white acrylic spray.
Large stones will have to be painted with a brush. Two layers of paint (one, and when dry, a second) are quite enough. The stones do not have to be painted on all sides - one of them will still lie on the ground.
Advice! Dilute acrylic paints halfway with water, otherwise they will be too thick and will go on unevenly. Plus, they will last a long time.
A 200 ml jar of paint is enough for about 60 large stones. Large stones, painted bright colors, will serve as a border for the roses.
Green trim
After this the fun begins. According to the author of the project, the emerald grass of the lawn will grow around the rose bushes. This means that something else will be needed. Namely: sand or peat, humus, lawn fertilizer, grass seeds.
It is best to sow immediately sports turf, which contains at least four varieties of herbs. You need to sow thickly. Immediately multiply the area for which the seeds are intended written on the box with seeds by two.
Advice! To ensure that the lawn lies flat and uniform, grass seeds are mixed with sawdust. You should not mix it with sand, it is heavier and will not give uniformity with light seeds.
Before seeding your lawn, finish laying decorative pebbles around the white mulch pebbles. There is no need to press the stones into the soil, just lay them on the surface. When the grass begins to grow, it will slightly cover the pebbles.
Near rose bushes lay out a path from painted wooden cuts. It is not necessary to make a continuous path; “steps” are enough so that you can walk on them or stand on them to care for the roses. While the young grass is growing, you should not trample it.
How to sow the perfect lawn
- To prepare the soil, loosen it with a rake, breaking up any lumps.
- Then spread a thin layer of humus (1 cm) over the surface and sprinkle sand mixed with peat (2 cm) on top.
- Nutritious soil is not needed, since you have already laid a layer of humus under the future lawn. But for greater effect, you can sprinkle the prepared area with starting lawn fertilizer in granules.
- After this, compact the soil. You don’t need a special roller or even a large barrel for this. Two small sheets of plywood or any material that you can stand on is enough. Place one sheet, stand on it, place the second one next to it, and move onto it. And so on until the entire area is level.
- Now you need to water the soil well and you can sow the seeds. They must be dry. When purchasing, pay attention to the packaging date on the box. It is advisable that it was no more than two years ago.
- Try to sow evenly in all directions. The denser you sow, the denser the turf will be and the more resilient the lawn will be.
- Covering the seeds with soil. A layer of 1 cm is enough. Water with fine sprinkling so as not to wash away the soil.
Advice! If there is neither peat nor sand, buy a construction sieve. Choose a place in the garden with dry soil and sift it through a sieve. It will make an excellent backfill.
If it is cool at night or an invasion of birds is expected, you can cover the crops with film. Under the film it is 5-7 degrees warmer, the seeds will sprout faster. And the moisture necessary for the seeds to hatch will be better preserved in the shelter.
Advice! Ants from one anthill can take half of your freshly sown lawn to themselves in a couple of hours. To prevent this from happening, you should take care in advance to neutralize ants, as well as slugs, which will happily eat young grass.
Now all that remains is to wait for the roses to bloom and the greenery to grow. One weekend and a minimum of funds were spent on all the beauty. Moreover, success is guaranteed, since there is nothing complicated in creating such a project. Looks very positive. Easy to care for. It evokes the admiration of neighbors and the wild delight of children.

Flower "stream"
You have country cottage area, vegetable garden, garden, lawn, flower garden, but something is missing. The soul asks for beauty. For example, I would like to make an artificial pond with my own hands. No, not a pool, but at least a small pond or stream. But it's so difficult! You need to dig a hole, carry cobblestones, buy film or a plastic container, tinker with aquatic plants, purchase all sorts of mechanisms - filters, pumps. Do you think beauty is never simple? How it happens! The easy way acquire beauty without additional material and physical costs - a stream of flowers.
A flower stream is not even an element of landscape design, but a method. An unconventional way of planting plants not in the usual flowerbed, but in the form of a stream flowing from a container. All costs are to purchase the container. Although, you can use an old clay pot.
Miracle from a pot
To create a flower stream, you will need a part of the site where you were going to make another banal flower bed. Container - this can be: a pot, jug, bottle (any container from which the future “stream” will originate) and flower seedlings ready for planting. You can sow a stream with seeds, but in this case, firstly, beauty will have to wait, and secondly, it is not known how the seeds will sprout. The stream may turn out to be uneven and with “bald spots”. The seeds can be pecked by birds, washed away by rain, and dragged into their homes by ants.
Ground cover plants
The choice of plants for a stream is not as obvious as it seems at first glance. Ground covers and creeping plants can be used.
Table. Selecting ground covers according to growth conditions.
| Growth conditions | Types of ground cover plants |
|---|---|
| If the bed of a flower “stream” runs through illuminated areas of the garden, it is necessary to plant light-loving ground covers. | These include: aubrieta, creeping carnations, rezuha, carpet phlox, alyssum. |
| If the stream location is in partial shade, plant plants that can tolerate shade. | Plant dwarf astilbe, tiarella, yellow lamiastrum, brunera, tenacious, trifoliate Waldsteinia, and buttercup anemone. These plants will bloom luxuriously and feel great in the shade, for example, among trees. |
| A flower stream can be created even in a heavily shaded place. | To do this, use shade-tolerant ground covers: fragrant violet, small periwinkle. |
| A stream can be created even where there is constant dampness and the earth “does not dry out” even in summer. | Moisture-loving plants: cinquefoil, hauttuynia, coin loosestrife form a lush and colorful “water flow”. |
Annuals
Along with ground covers, you can use many annuals to create a flower stream, you just have to choose low-growing varieties, no higher than 30-50 cm. The list of annuals for this purpose is huge. Limit yourself to only those that can be sown in the ground in your climate. An impressive list - there is plenty to choose from.
By the way! Bulbous flowers will look effective. They can be planted close to each other, and weak and defective ones can be replaced if necessary.
You can use a stump instead of a pot
Bulbous flowers and perennials
The “bulbous” version of the stream can be made of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, muscari, glamini (miniature gladioli), anemones, freesias, cyclamens and other perennials.
Rooted perennials can also be used. Primrose, jasmine, saxifrage, speedwell will look great in line with pansies, Carpathian bellflower, armeria, chickweed, daisies, liverwort.
No slope for the "stream"? Create it using a mound of earth
Stream planting
Having decided on planting material Having found a suitable jug, indicating the length and width of the future flower stream, you can begin planting.
- The soil is dug up, cleared of weeds, well leveled and moistened.
- Then the plants are placed in pre-marked areas.
- Everything is watered.
- It is important to remember that ground cover plants grow quickly, so their planting areas must be limited, and shoots emerging from the banks of the stream must be regularly removed.
That's all, the flower stream is ready. It will require no more care than a regular flowerbed - watering, fertilizing, removing dried flowers. The visual effect you get will exceed all your dreams of beauty. Still think that beauty is never simple?
Creation of a dry stream on the site
Growing up
Lianas occupy in the hierarchy ornamental plants special place. Their stems are flexible and unstable (in herbaceous annuals, tree-like vines are found among perennials). But the vitality and desire to grow “to the sky” are unparalleled. They only need support. Give the vines support, and they will turn your site into a fabulous flowering kingdom.
Vertical gardening, which uses vines, is a very important part of landscape design. While most plants can “handle” horizontal surfaces, fences, walls, pillars, balconies, and terraces can only be decorated with the help of vines.
Is it too hot in the gazebo in summer? Create shade with climbing crops
Why are vines good?
- For the most part, vines do not require large area nutrition. They only need a little soil (half as much as any other plant) to give you much more foliage and flowers than any other plant.
- Lianas can grow near the wall of the house, where there is a foundation and a layer of soil above the concrete of only 15 cm.
- Lianas can grow in tubs and flower pots.
- Lianas are very resistant to drought, excess humidity, and many are resistant to cold.
- They do not require highly nutritious soil. Of course, they will not refuse fertilizers, but even without feeding they will grow and bloom, and some will also bear fruit.
- Annual vines are beautiful because their growth rate is up to 5 cm per day.
Advice! If you urgently need, already this summer, to decorate an unsightly wall or cover a pergola, gazebo, or terrace with blooming greenery, seek help from morning glory, dolichos, sweet peas, kvamoklit, kobe, nasturtium, decorative beans. These fast-growing vines will cope with decorating the site perfectly.

Growing annual vines
There is nothing difficult about growing herbaceous annual vines. You can sow them directly into the ground (since these plants develop rapidly, it is better that the soil is loose and fertilized).
- Sow at the end of May.
- Make shallow holes and place 2-3 seeds in each hole.
- If the seeds are small, you can sow them in furrows. Depth - about two centimeters.
- They water the crops and wait.
- You won't have to wait long. In one and a half to two weeks, sprouts will appear.
- After another two weeks, it is worth preparing supports for them (stretch ropes, install pergolas) on which they will climb.
If you want to get annual vines to bloom earlier, it makes sense to grow seedlings first and then plant them in open ground. Seeds for seedlings are planted in April, in separate peat pots (for most herbaceous vines weak root system, which should not be injured during transplantation).

And then the beautiful carved leaves of spicy and vegetable crops, lush heads of lettuce of different shades, scarlet strawberries that defiantly peek out from under a rosette of leaves, and you are no longer thinking so much about the harvest as about the possibilities of “garden” design.
This means that it’s time to take care of your garden: cultivate it, add cheerful bright notes to the boring design of garden beds.
It is not necessary to radically change the appearance of the entire garden at once; it is enough to equip even a small space with your own hands to general form absolutely changed. Symmetrically located beds can be replaced by one flowerbed, in which plants are planted not in rows, but in islands, observing the proportionality of their placement depending on the height.
In order not to spread dirt on the site, the passages between the beds must be filled with decorative gravel or laid with paving slabs.
The background should be given to tall corn or sunflowers, peppers and tomatoes will be in the middle, and low-growing vegetables and herbs should be placed in the foreground: beets, carrots, parsley, lettuce, etc. Green rosettes of lettuce will make a wonderful border for a vegetable bed. Other options are also possible: a square flowerbed is divided into several parts (rectangular or square) and each is planted with a separate crop.
You can divide the square into four equal parts and make borders from bricks, wooden posts or ready-made modules. Then border plants are planted diagonally in each part: low growing marigolds, marigolds, parsley. As a result of these manipulations, you get 8 small triangular sections, which are filled at your discretion: basil, celery, dill, mint - whatever.
The middle of such beds can be effectively highlighted by placing a pot with flowering plants, and if space allows, place a small cart with flowers or dig in a support for climbing crops.
Even ordinary beds will take on a completely different look if you add a border to them. You can use any materials: brick, stone, boards, ready-made border tape, digging plastic bottles or weave a low wickerwork from a vine.
The paths between the beds can be covered with gravel, crushed stone, small multi-colored pebbles, or laid out with paving stones. Simply by dividing the garden into zones, laying out borders and installing original signs above each bed, you can proudly admire the spectacular picture.
To make a border edging, gravel is suitable, decorative rock, glass bottles. They are simply laid out between the beds
Between the beds of greenery, small islands of bright flowers will look great. Just one peony bush, planted in in the right place, will immediately transform the space around you. Flower arrangement can be created in the most unexpected subject; All you have to do is inspect your supplies, and you will definitely find a leaky saucepan or bathtub, a broken garden wheelbarrow or furniture, a broken suitcase or watering can.
And even an old umbrella will turn into a magnificent decorative element if you fill it with soil, plant flowers and place it in the garden.
The vegetables themselves can also perfectly decorate the garden - pumpkins planted in containers or in specially designated areas are decorative all season long thanks to their large carved leaves, bright orange flowers and fruits of various colors.
Tips for creative people

You can make your garden so that it is as beautiful as your flower beds.
A little advice. It makes sense to test a new form of vegetable garden, invented on paper, in the first year. Life can make its own adjustments to the shape of the beds and their number.
3. Record your garden design on paper.
Even a small vegetable garden requires careful planning.
Having a pre-designed garden design on paper will help you analyze the effectiveness of your design for the current season and plan new plant combinations and new beds for future seasons.
4. Make comfortable beds.
Be sure to clearly demarcate each area of your garden. This will not only give it a neater look, but will also help you plan your plantings for the next step. 
The clear geometric contours of the garden bed, even in a small space, create a visual accent in the landscape design, while creating a feeling of order and cleanliness.

Consider the position and orientation of your site. Plant tall plants so that they do not shade their short neighbors.
Consider the lighting and watering conditions of the individual crop. You should not dictate your terms to plants and grow your favorite plants where you have space, without taking into account their preferences. 
You can always adjust your planting plans taking into account the specific conditions of your site. Believe me, there are many plants that will happily grow in your conditions.
Do not forget to take into account the watering regime for each bed, so that it does not turn out that plants requiring more frequent watering are located in the most inconvenient place for this.

Flowers located among the greenery of the garden create sparks of light. They are also a great way to attract beneficial insects. By learning to “paint” with the texture, color and shape of plants in your garden, you can create a real vegetable bed.
And, as in an ordinary flowerbed, in the design of your vegetable garden you can fully express your imagination, gain new experience and rejoice at successful finds.
Even a small space in the garden bed can be filled with a mixture of vegetables and flowers, which complement each other and serve as an advantageous backdrop for plants of the most vibrant colors.
