Two ideas for arranging a large garden behind the house

Suggestion 1: symmetrical discounts

A large part of the garden is now occupied by a large lawn. The plot is closed by a green wall of previously planted thuja.In front of them, in the center, on a gravel surface, there is a garden bench with a magnificent view of the entire garden.Next to them are planted two 'Mont Rose' bushes, which in the second half of spring become bright pink flowers.In June and July, the white panicles of the openwork inflorescences of the forest wing rise up behind the bench's backrest.

The funkies 'Unvittata' with green-cream leaves and 'White Meidiland' roses with white flowers that bloom all summer grow on both flower beds between thuja and the lawn. From a distance, two round-crowned maples are planted in the center of the garden and surrounded by squares of a mini boxwood hedge.

Further towards the house there is a grassy path with three steps leveling the slope of the ground.On the sides of the path there are two narrow flower beds with irregular but symmetrical shapes.

Here flowering shrubs and perennials decorate the garden for many months. Next to the white 'White Meidiland' roses grow yellow-flowered 'Goldmarie' roses. starry.

The ground on both sides of the landing is covered with a dense carpet of 'Spessart' shoots. Its white-pink flowers develop in May and June.The rest corner is separated from the rest of the garden by a short hornbeam hedge and two magnificent mossy hydrangea bushes.Two large clumps of miscanthus grow in front of the hedge on the left side.
