Have you ever sat on a SAT test in the garden, thinking, looking around, and enjoying the scenery? Not to look at anything in particular, but think about everything related to your garden and ask yourself: "Do I plant trees there?" Or "If I move these tablets, what will I put them on?" Place? ?? To some extent, it does not matter if you know the implementation of this process, because what you were doing was to make this land visually in your land and come up with ideas and ideas for improving the outer space. Then, whether this is the first or fifty time, you are welcome to The field of garden design.
The concept of garden design is not a new thing: When Man first planted the land and attached his arable and livestock crops, he divided the available space into the biggest advantage. This may not be the design that we know now (it is clear that aesthetics had no practical value at the time), but it established the spatial relationship as needed. He designs his own environment to meet his daily, monthly and yearly personal needs.
Since then, the process of creating a garden has evolved on the basis of style, fashion, ability, skill, thought, wealth, travel, experimentation and history, but all of it can be summed up as initial needs. Basically, this is about someone exercising some degree of control over their surroundings. In fact, this is all garden design today.
As is set out by my fellow authors in this book, creating a garden can be an intricate and time-consuming process, but the fundamental starting point is to remember that garden design is about creating an outside space that you (or your client) want. Many discussions will ensue after that initial thought— from what style you want, to working out how sustainable your garden might be, but don’t let the detail bog you down too early in the process. Of course detail is essential for a successful garden, but holding on to that vision, that desire, is a key part of the process. This book will help you, not only with the nuts and bolts of garden making, but also to focus the vision and, I hope, help make it become a reality.
So why do you need such an encyclopedia? In fact, because garden design might be a single experience. Even if we are constantly bombarded with photos, suggestions and information (one can say a lot of options), we can seldom display everything in one place - from picking the plant to the color of gravel, from the fence to the height of the tree. The nature of many options makes the designer / gardener / client a little confused about what he really wants from the garden. Gardening activities may also be affected in many ways (from the gardening group to urban material manufacturing), so designers need a kind of shelter, where the problem is solved and the problem solved.
PLAN YOUR PLAN
Putting your ideas onto paper, or computer, is an essential step when designing your garden.
GOOD FORM
Successful designs use flower color, leaf shape, and tree stems to create a balance of color and form.
PERSONAL SPACE
Good design should reflect the wishes, likes, and dislikes of the garden owner—regardless of the country or climate.
In many cases, deciding what garden you want is the hardest to start with, but then the easiest part of the process. Turning a vision into reality takes a lot of time: knowing how to assemble the different parts of the garden, how to maintain interest in agriculture throughout the year, deciding on solid landscape materials that can be used in all weather conditions, etc. These are exciting (and sometimes frustrating) aspects of the process, but they make a piece of unusable land near your property different from a beautifully designed garden. The chapters in this book will guide you through these stages of garden design to help uncover unknown mysteries and clarify unclear objects. I sincerely hope that you like it and, accordingly, make the best garden possible.
CONSIDERED STYLE
Successful spaces are ncreated when planting colors and combinations complement the hard landscaping materials
URBAN JUNGLE
Using foliage plants of different types and heights can help to provide privacy from neighboring views and offers useful shelter
SENSE OF SCALE
When creating a plan, working to a scale allows you to be sure that all structures and details will work well on the ground
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
Sometimes, beautiful design expressions can be created by mirroring shapes, like this sculpture and round-flowered Allium.
HOW TO DESIGN
What do you want to do in your garden?
The garden is an extension of your home and should provide you with a place to fully enjoy life. When considering any changes that may be made to the yard, it is important to think about how you intend to use the space, not only now but also in the future. This can range from staying very busy doing the least possible at the other end. Ask yourself a series of questions about the multiple roles of a patio. Do you want an entertainment place or a place for children to play in or a child? simply want a peaceful but beautiful yard in which to relax when you have free time? Bear in mind that your needs, and those of your family, are likely to change with time, and that it may be more difficult to make significant changes to the garden in the future as it establishes and matures. Ideally, come up with flexible ideas that can be adapted. A range of different requirements might suggest the creation of separate and possibly hidden areas within the same yard.
ENJOY THE PLANTS AND WILDLIFE
THE ACTIVE GARDENER
Throughout the season, as plants grow and change, drilling, sowing and planting operations bring generous returns. Colors and textures change, and there are new things to see every week. The plants that attract birds, bees, and butterflies bring life back to life.
ENTERTAIN AND HAVE FUN
THE ROOM OUTSIDE
The garden is often called an "outer room" and can be planned as an extension of the house. Ensure continuity of functionality, such as elegant furniture, screens, white walls, awnings and flower beds. The outdoor room can be used for entertainment and social activities in almost the same way as interior decoration, while providing a vibrant play space for children
APPRECIATE THE PICTURE
SIMPLE SOLUTION
Gardens for busy people need to be easy to maintain, but they can still be lovely to look at. They require simple design solutions with a strong overall concept and a pleasing layout for long-term appeal, allowing owners to sit back and enjoy the view.
RELAX AND UNWIND
A PEACEFUL SPACE
One of the special joys of having a garden is that you can simply sit, doze, read or do nothing in the open air, surrounded by the sounds and scents of plants and wildlife. Gardens designed for this purpose can provide the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of everyday life.
How do you want to feel?
Gardens stimulate emotions. Immediately upon entering a garden we respond to our surroundings. When planning a new design, you may choose to be bombarded with sensory stimulation, a riot of vibrant color, textural diversity, or striking features to excite and energize the spirit. Or you might want a place for quiet reflection and contemplation, or even a space for therapy and healing, such as a calm, simple garden with evergreens and a reflective pool. If you have enough land, it may be possible to demarcate different areas for different moods by making effective use of screening or tall plants. Creating a new design for a garden provides an opportunity to change or enhance the atmosphere of each area through layout, distribution of paths and spaces, and light touches of detail and decoration. Color, shape, fragrance, and foliage will also affect the tone, and by using these elements you can help to foster positive moods and emotions.
EXCITED AND UPBEAT
THE DYNAMIC GARDEN
Exciting, stimulating sensations can be created using vibrant, hot colors, spiky plants, sharp lines, challenging artwork, and varied textures, while water introduces movement. But, be warned: strident gardens can be overpowering.
REJUVENATED
REFRESHING SPACE
The presence of water, creating sunlit reflections and offset by natural plantings, can help to evoke a feeling of energy, growth, and rejuvenation. Soft colors and a wide variety of materials enhance the mood. These are places for “recharging your batteries” after a long, hard day.
A SENSE OF WELL-BEING
RESTORING HEALTH
These gardens should be private, unchallenging spaces, and are often characterized by culinary, therapeutic, and medicinal plants, such as herbs with their appealing scents, or healthy crops such as fruit trees. They provide a reassuring, relaxed, and restorative environment.
PEACEFUL AND CALM
CONTEMPLATIVE MOODS
Cool colors, simple flowing shapes, delicate scents, and restricted use of materials and planting will create a calm and peaceful mood in the garden. Simple focal elements, waterfalls, and carefully chosen lighting help to enhance these uncluttered spaces.
What will your garden look like?
Garden visits, shows and nurseries, as well as magazines, books, TV shows and websites, will provide a rich inspiration to anyone who wants to change the park. But remember, the key to a successful design is not to collect ideas and merge them all into one space. Rather, it is a process of reviewing and editing various ideas, and the goal is to develop a coherent overall look for your garden, whether you are restoring a mature plot or starting with an empty fabric in a new home. One good way to solve this problem is to have a clear understanding of the look you want to have, and choose carefully the elements, features, materials and plants. These elements, features, materials and plants will be combined to produce a uniform component, not a mixture of parts. Take notes, collect pictures and draw ideas. Here are some starting points, from traditional to modern, to fictional and exotic locations. Use them as tips to find the right style for you.
FILLED WITH FLOWERS
GROW YOUR FAVORITE FLOWERS
Your garden can be a gardening event or a habitat for your favorite plants. These gardens are seasonal and offer change and constant sharing. Try to formulate a comprehensive concept clear in terms of color, texture, and brown.
A TROPICAL RETREAT
SCULPT WITH PLANTS
Plants with large leaves give an exotic feel and can be used to create a closed lush garden with a subtropical atmosphere. Choose plants carefully to ensure they are not very large and suitable for the soil and climate in your area.
SUMMER ESCAPE
RECREATE A SUMMER VACATION
When you pretend to travel summer all year long, why are you shorting your vacation to two weeks? Adjust the thoughts seen during the trip: for example, lavender beds and window frames filled with ivy leaf geranium can be brought back to southern France.
A SPACE TO REFLECT
MAKE A SANCTUARY
The quiet environment features straight lines, simple shapes, delicate lighting and coherent layout, giving you a comfortable space away from modern life. Avoid collision of materials and make farming easy to manage.
CHIC AND MINIMAL
CUT OUT THE CLUTTER
You can only use up to three complementary materials and smooth panels, but they should be perfectly combined. Large, exciting water features or sculptures add dynamic quality to the streamlined design.FUN AND FUNKY
SHOW YOUR CREATIVE SIDE
These unconventional parks may be more suited to exhibition parks or temporary structures, but they attract people's attention, but they require artistic talent and confidence to succeed. Not ashamed or retiring, but when it lasts, it might be interesting.
How much do you want to do?
When considering overall design and its future maintenance, the time to spend daily, weekly, or monthly is the main consideration. Unless you have a very simple and easy-to-maintain garden and want to beautify evergreen planting, the to-do list usually changes with the season, but rarely in the cold winter. In a high-maintenance garden, the borders of flowers, meadows, fruit trees and vegetable fields are mixed together, and spring and summer are very busy seasons. Lawn mowing, pruning and hedging, fruit tree pruning and feeding, planting and planting vegetables, plant growing, and continuous cultivation all take time. This may be the garden you want, but the time it will take to make it look good is very realistic. It is very nice to work in your garden, monitor the garden's maturity and estimate the results, but please plan maintenance in advance and budget for help if needed.
THREE TIMES A WEEK
REGULAR UPKEEP
Although the small patio is full of many flower pots, it is necessary to use hot and dry water at most every day, and most small squares do not need to be drawn twice or more than three times a week. Generally, large gardens with lawns, mixed borders and a wide range of plants and productive growing areas will take more time.
ONCE A WEEK
THE WEEKEND GARDENER
This is probably the most common category, especially for those who have only spare time on weekends. Meadows should be pruned and trimmed once a week in summer, and weeds should be under control throughout the garden.
TWICE A MONTH
KEEP IT PRACTICAL
Most shrubs, climbing plants and perennials require regular attention. Spring and autumn may require seasonal pruning, the border needs to remove weeds and look for fodder, and the heads of flowering plants such as roses should be cleaned
SIX TIMES A YEAR
MINIMAL MAINTENANCE
Gardens that require little attention will not include lawns and hedges. Maintenance planning is "low" instead of "no" maintenance to avoid sterility. Many trees and shrubs only need to be sorted and beautified every year, but sometimes they need attention.
