A piece of greenery in front of the house is often small and has an area of only a dozen square meters.In general, the owners have a problem with arranging such a small garden, choosing the right plants and flower colors.
The first step towards making your dreams of a beautiful front garden come true is to find a good form for it. A small area looks best when it is made of geometric shapes such as circles, rectangles, squares or diamonds. This division is worth emphasizing with low boxwood hedges or small walls.
The art of designing front gardens was mastered by the Dutch. Even on the narrowest part of the ground in front of the houses, they arrange nice gravel paths, plant perennials, hedges, and linden trees with shaped crowns.All elements of the arrangement always create a harmonious whole.
After establishing the general plan of the front garden, appropriate plants should be selected. These will be species and varieties corresponding to the type of soil, as well as the amount of light reaching the flower beds.Besides, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises, we should learn the size of fully developed plants.
If we want to plant a decorative tree in our front yard, we should choose plants with a dense crown, for example the spherical maple "Globosum", robinia "Umbraculifera" or cherry "Globosa". Trees with a slender, narrow crown, such as the ornamental cherry 'Amonagawa' with pink flowering in pink, are also perfect.
A small front yard should fit as many plants as possible. Therefore, those that take up little space are perfect.First of all, you should reach for climbing plants. They can perform many different functions.Slender long shoots cover the roof over the entrance to the house, attached to the truss, they cover and decorate the wall, they wrap the fence or the arch over the path.If the garden is sunny, we can plant climbing roses. In a semi-shaded or shaded place, clematis, climbing hydrangea, ivy or arboricum will feel great.
Individual character is gained by plants in containers.Carefully thought-out compositions, placed in selected places, will delight during many warmest weeksEven longer, even in winter, pots with box trees or hydrangeas can remain outside. Annual ornamental plants give the front garden a new look every year. We can plant them not only in ordinary containers, but also in baskets and amplaces hung overhead.
Occurring frosts are a signal to start wintering some terraced potted plants.
In a small front garden, pots of one type look best, e.g. terracotta or metal.Containers planted with identical plants are a good idea.Pots with spherical box trees arranged in a row look attractive.
