THREE EASY GARDEN DESIGNS YOU CAN CREATE
Garden No. 1: The Japanese garden.
Creating a Japanese garden is an interesting project because the
Japanese garden design depends on symbolism as much as it
depends on plant elements.
What is most important for a Japanese garden design is a
prevailing notion of simplicity. There are a number of elements
that make up a Japanese garden. These gardens often include
water, a lantern, an island and a bridge.
A successful Japanese garden will inspire peace and
contemplation. To enhance the atmosphere you may like to add a
special place for you to sit, and contemplate.
Garden No. 2: The water garden.
Water gardens or aquatic gardens are especially popular because
water has always been associated with serenity and peace. Water
features in your garden can create a truly atmospheric place.
Water features are normally made up of three features: a pool,
aquatic plants (submerged, like the water lily or floating, like
the water hyacinth) and fish. Other decorative pieces, such as
rocks, can be added and you can even build fountains and
waterfalls for extra effect.
Garden No. 3: The English garden.
What is called an "English garden" refers to a style of
"informal landscape gardening" that was popular, as the name
reflects, in England over the last couple of centuries. There's
a lot of information available on the Internet to tell you what
goes into an English garden. Some of the most popular items
include a water feature and a sundial.
Whatever style of garden you wish to create please note: plan
first. Things that are important to know before you start
digging and planting include knowing what types of plants suit
your climate. When your plants will flower is also important to
know so that you don't end up with a dull winter full of dormant
plants. Water supply is probably the most important things to
think about before your start. Speak to an expert about how to
build a suitable irrigation system that will keep your plants
well fed and keep your workload to a minimum.
