Square, triangle, or maybe a rectangle?

The aim of the garden arrangement is the best possible division of the area, ensuring a varied and harmonious image of the whole. Regardless of the size of the plot and the adopted style, the basic elements of the composition are flower beds and flower beds.They can have different looks: from small and square to long and narrow.The size and contours of plant islands depend primarily on the location and shape of the entire garden area.

Rectangular flower beds have many advantages. They can be easily planned and marked out, as well as adapted to even a small corner.Areas 120-130 cm wide, adjacent to paths, terraces or lawns, are easy to plant and maintain. The straight lines of geometric forms guide the eye very strongly.Our gazes travel freely along the viewing axes marked by them far into the garden.

On the other hand, rectangular flower beds arranged transversely stop the observer's eyesight, obscuring the parts of the garden lying behind them. This is a good way to visually enlarge a small plot, as well as to clearly separate different parts of a large garden.

The appearance of the flowerbed with corners and bends depends mainly on the choice and arrangement of plants. Instead of a colorful mixture, it is worth choosing a few species that differ in the height of the shoots, flowering time and a varied leaf structure. A narrow bed can look great, planted only with ornamental grasses or hydrangeas.Thanks to triangular discounts we will achieve surprising results.They can, for example, be placed in the front yard, by the terrace or on the lawn.

An unusual form filled with carefully selected plants will greatly enrich the appearance of any garden.In order for the square contour to be always clearly visible, planting perennials requires more care and effort.Tall or branchy plants are placed in the middle of the bed.

Plant perennials or low grass on the perimeter. If we do not care about clearly marked, straight lines, to soften them, use algae, geraniums or aromatic lavender with a rounded shape on the edges.
