Country style garden

A garden in a rustic style, or in the “country” style, is the perfect opportunity to create with your own hands something simple and cozy, but also original and unique. The main thing for the country style is proximity to nature, naturalness, and the use of exceptionally simple and natural forms and materials. The country style is also characterized by expediency and comfort, even the location of the zones here is dictated, first of all, by considerations of functionality. That is, there is logic here, and logic again. In accordance with this, the site is divided into purely functional zones: this is a garden with fruit trees, this is a vegetable garden with beds, this is an economic zone, and this is a front garden. All zones are connected by a network of paths paved exclusively with natural materials (bark, brick, flagstone). A good solution in this light is a plank platform.

The country garden style is a bit neglected, so it doesn’t need much care, perhaps as a result of this it looks quite romantic.

In a country garden, fruit trees are appropriate, precisely because they bloom in spring. There should also be berry bushes here, but chokeberry (chokeberry), especially on hedges, lilacs and garden jasmine.

And the best sunny place is given to a small garden, because elegant beds with greenery will decorate the site well. At the same time, the country garden should not be hidden from view somewhere in the yard. It can be located next to the house, turning into a rather interesting fragment of a country composition.

Even more interesting is the idea of a “flower garden”, where not only vegetables, but also flowers will grow. Marigolds look quite picturesque next to salads, carrots, cucumbers, dill, parsley and pumpkins. In addition, it is still useful, thanks to the visits of bees, and their root secretions reduce the impression of fungi on neighboring plants. On this original flower garden, basil, lemon balm, coriander will be an attractive addition. A feature of the country style of country is the combination of beautiful with useful.

A good decoration of a country garden will be large bright flower beds, on which well-known plants will grow – pine trees, campanulas, garden chamomile, mallows, phloxes, hydrangeas, peonies, ornamental sunflower, etc.

You can’t do without representatives of the flora that weave – nasturtium, bindweed, hops, ornamental beans, lobia, honeysuckle, honeysuckle… With their help, not only will vertical gardening of the garden be carried out, but they will be useful when arranging gazebos, trellises, porch and fence.

It would be nice to plant a few bushes of English roses, climbing roses, and French roses, ideal for lazy people. One thing, with all the multicolor, you should be careful that each solution is still in the same key with the entire composition.

A peasant garden, for example, is very suitable for a Moorish lawn, which is very easy to care for and on which a broom will grow, but a lawn made of white clover is not suitable. He needs a lot of care.

Now you don’t need to throw away old things, because in a country garden is the place for them.

A wheelbarrow, a trough, a watering can, wheels from carts, or whole trucks – they will not only be a garden interior, but also wonderful flower beds and flower beds. You can make a flower bed even in an old driftwood. But all the elements of the garden – roads, stones, bridges – must be made of the same material as the house – bricks, wood, stones…

Decorative elements made of uncouth poles, things wicker from vines, logs, etc. look great. An organic component of the design will be a decorative windmill, straw stuffed animals, clay pots.

Water fragments of the landscape will add special beauty – a pond with reeds, frogs and ducks, a well (possibly decorative), a column.

But alpine slides, a garden of stones in a country garden will be alien. And if you really want to insert something like this, then you need to cover this element with a hedge.

Country kindergarten is a simple and win-win option for the romantic, creative and lazy. For those for whom naturalness is much more important than artificially licked nature. Here, everyone must find the answer in their heart.
