There are never too many cozy places in the garden. Even a lawn covered with a dense hedge and lush shrubs is suitable for a quiet relaxation corner.The openwork, airy pavilion made of steel pipes, placed in the middle of the lawn, looks very impressive. On the right, in front of the gazebo, there is a perennial bed. In summer, the beautiful flowers of Montbrecia and Kuklik are eye-catching.
Reed, whose impressive stalks reach a height of 150 centimeters, dominates over all ornamental perennials. Before the bright blue flowers of funkia open in July, the flowerbed is embellished with light green decorative leaves.As early as June, white lupine flowers develop, gathered in magnificent candle-shaped panicles. The whole arrangement is enlivened by a small pond on the left side of the pavilion. On its shore there are the same plants that decorate the bed.
A path made of flat stones leads to the gazebo.At the back, the view of the neighbors' house is effectively obscured by the crowns of two beautiful trees: the columnar pink cherry 'Amanogawa' and the amber tree with wonderful autumn colors.

One of the most characteristic elements of the composition of English public gardens are the so-called mixed borders.This is how sumptuous flowerbeds (usually located opposite each other) planted with decorative perennials, grasses and shrubs, as well as bulbs and annuals are defined.
It is a lot of fun to walk along a wide path separating them - the lawn, combined with admiring the beautiful flowers and decorative leaves of wonderfully cared for plants.This is the arrangement that served as a model for the device of this exemplary garden.
In the narrow, long flowerbeds, in June and July, unusual decorative garlic with large balls of inflorescences crowning tall, stiff shoots triumphs. At the same time, the green-and-yellow alchemilla and yellow willowleaf plantlet are also blooming.In July, a long flowering period begins with a slope and a light yellow tritome.In autumn, its presence in flowerbeds is nicely accentuated by the sedum plant and earthquice grass with colorful leaves.
The garden will also charm us in the spring, when we sit on a wooden bench, placed under the fence at the end of the lawn.Bright yellow, subtly fragrant azalea flowers are visible from a distance, and everywhere in flower beds tulips are blooming, the bulbs of which were planted in the fall.
In May and June, clusters of golden-yellow golden eaves hang over the bench like delicate garlands.It's hard not to be delighted with the wonderful pink iris flowers that also appear on flowerbeds in May.
