Container garden

This is the easiest way. It is suitable for small areas or gardens with poor soil composition.

Containers can be placed anywhere and filled with soil suitable for vegetable crops.

In the role of the container, you can use the various containers that everyone has: old tires, barrels, buckets, vases and pots.

And own imagination will help to make a real work of art from a rusty bucket or a leaky barrel. The containers should be rather large, at least 10 liters, and deep enough for the normal development of the root system.And if you choose the material of the container, preference is given to clay and plastic, as the most durable.

It should also be borne in mind that watering for container plants should be more abundant, since the soil quickly dries out. The container is indispensable on the balcony.

With its help, any city hostess can afford to grow not only flowers, but also some types of vegetables and herbs.

Geometrical beds

If you have on the site the usual rectangular beds, it's boring! Put the partitions and turn the garden into a chessboard. In each cell, you can plant different plants or alternate varieties of one.

And also to diversify forms by making triangular, oval, round beds. Such beds can be made bulk and for their manufacture any material is suitable.

Sculptural garden

This is another way to make the garden beautiful and cozy.

You can use different containers, arranging them in size, from larger to smaller, or arranged in random order.
Plants ennoble fountains or old wells, giving them a lively and flourishing look.
Arrange clay figurines along the beds, and in the center a large sculpture or column.
These same columns can be decorated with hanging containers, creating hanging gardens.
Or throughout the site to arrange high beds with sides of different heights.

Vertical garden

This type of beds allows you to grow more plants in a small area.

They are placed on the wall of the house or the fence, creating container compositions.

Arbor walls or special trellis will allow plants to freely curl and serve as a source of additional shade.

It is possible to adapt hollows of rotten trees under a vertical garden or install columns with holes.

Bed "Keyhole"

The purpose of such beds rather banal. It only hides the compost pit inside itself, but the plant fence allows it to hide its true purpose and be located close to the living space.

Pizza Garden

It got its name because of the round shape, which resembles a pizza cut into pieces. Such beds are usually made 2 meters in diameter and divided into triangular sections with paths. This way you can approach each segment of the garden bed.

"Boka" garden

The name itself explains that the beds are placed on the booth. Yes, yes, on the same one where the dog lives. A container filled with drainage and soil is installed on the roof.When constructing such a bed, you should remember about waterproofing, so as not to cause damage to your pet during watering.

And when planting be sure to take into account the root system and the location of the booth on the site.

Do not plant in sunny places shade-loving plants and vice versa. These beds will protect the roof of the booth from overcooling in the winter and overheating in the summer.

Garden arch

Another kind of decorative beds. Arches combine beauty and functionality and can be made of any material.

With their help, grow tall vines and ampelous plants.

Arches can be of any shape and height, form shaded areas, such as arbors, or help protect a regular garden bed from excessive sun.

When using arched gardens, plants are planted both in the ground and in containers, arranged along the arch or suspended from its elements.

Mobile garden

These are small wooden containers equipped with wheels. Their use allows you to effectively use the space of the site, move the beds, combine flowers and vegetables. Such beds can be moved during the day in the sun or in the shade, depending on the cultivated species.

Integrated garden

These high beds are containers, usually combined with recreation areas. Such as garden benches, open terraces or porches. With their help, you can connect several elements of the structure, giving them a well-groomed appearance.

Combinations of plants on the same bed

When growing several species of plants within the same row, several factors should be considered:

You should not plant a number of representatives of one species or family due to similar diseases and pests.
Take into account when planting features of the root system.
High and low plants combined by their light and moisture-loving.
