Garden in full sun
The gardens with southern exposure are ideal for plant development and relaxation.They are dominated by warm, sunny weather for most of the day. This is the best incentive to create a southern style garden.This garden is divided into sectors; the central position is occupied by an elevated wooden terrace with a pergola, forming an island washed by a sea of light gravel.
Bright color optically enlarges the walls, also reflects the sun's rays, which makes the garden more illuminated. Acer circinatum round-leaved maple was selected as the backyard tree. Its crown, under which a ring-shaped bench is placed, casts a lot of shade in summer.In the immediate vicinity of the tree, partially in the shadow zone, the hydrangea Sargenta Hydrangea sargentiana found ideal conditions for development.
As befits a classic Mediterranean potted garden, the containers could not be complete without lantana, rosemary, lavender, hibiscus and sage.In the back of the painting, that is, at the entrance, there is an aroma garden with thyme and lavender in the lead role.The shrubs with a conical crown visible in their vicinity are the Chinese 'Stricta' junipers. The pergola is covered with grapevines and clematis, and there is a large brick grill by the terrace.
Some sun, some shade
The conditions in a partially shaded garden are ideal for rural gardens, where perennials mix freely with trees and shrubs (including fruit). Such arrangements are relatively easy to set up and later also maintain. In the background you can see a dark wall of a residential building, on the sides the garden is sheltered by low farm buildings.
Little Big Garden
During the day, a shadow zone moves over the plot, which means that the sun peeks into one place for no longer than four hours. The wall was not plastered on purpose, because in such a form it better reflects the rural character.The vegetation is modest, but chosen wisely; everything is in its place and looks impressive.The right side of the foundation is occupied by a flower meadow (created on a weak ground), and the middle part - a lawn.
During the season, the turf should be mowed every two weeks. An apple tree grows in the left corner. The tree is protected by a small tool house.The limb of the apple tree is the swing armThe lilac variety 'Aurea' has nice yellow-green leaves and looks good against a dark wall. On the flowerbeds by the terrace there are, among others, peonies and honeysuckles.
Shaded garden
Poor sunlight does not mean that the garden is doomed to out of favor. Contrary. Shaded gardens like the one below, surrounded by multi-story buildings, can also be arranged with an idea. The proposed solution has the features of a formal garden, although only in some aspects.
In the background, by the high wall closing the garden, there is a white grate for vines. There are similar bars on the side walls that mark the boundaries of the plot. The bright color of the bars brightens and enlarges the garden.Half of the surface is occupied by a wooden terrace with a complete set of furniture, flowering beds and hawthorn giving shade.The yew hedge emphasizes the division of the garden into two parts. Behind the green wall there is a raised bed with shade-loving herbs such as garlic and lemon balm.
The pot garden is dominated by fuchsia and white flowering geraniums.The grille in the first part of the garden is covered with wild wine and ivy. Perennials bloom in flower beds: hydrangea 'Annabelle', funkies, hellebore, ferns and garments. The pillars of the pergola, covering the second rest corner, are entwined with the shoots of climbing hydrangea. Two small fountains gush in the rectangular recessed pool.
The edges of the pond are decorated with Mexican flowers.The symmetry axis of the garden leads through the pond to the stone figurine. The symmetry of the arrangement is emphasized by green boxwood balls.
