Advice

• Immediately tune in to the fact that after you plant the seeds in the ground, you will have to constantly look after them, help the sprouts to grow and bloom. Therefore, you will have to work constantly, but this is a pleasant arrangement, and if there is free time, it will not be a lot of work. You also need to think over the design for fencing the flower beds, and flower arrangements, and arrange everything so that the overall look is harmonious.
• If you come up with ideas and really make a candy from your garden plot, then single flowers scattered across the plot will not give you the proper visual satisfaction. But a beautiful flowerbed, where the design of stones or wood, fencing and flowers is thought out - yes. Therefore, you will have to think about this issue, perhaps call for help from one of the household members to help arrange the site. For example, help will be needed to make flower beds out of bricks or old tires.
• Before planting seeds, be sure to check out at least approximately what flowers you get - annual or not, how long they bloom, how fast they grow, how long they will grow, how unusual and original the species are, and other nuances. This information will allow you to choose the right varieties of flowers for the composition, perhaps create simple but interesting ideas for your garden, make its design more professional.
• Plant flowers freely, do not plant seeds in one place, only in the center or near the fence. Otherwise, a chaotic incomprehensible design may turn out instead of the conceived idea of ​​a beautiful composition.
• A beautiful design involves regular pruning of plants and fertilizing the soil in the flower bed.

Leftover bricks, old tires, even bottles or leftover boards will do. All this can be beautifully painted, decorated in an original way. And now you have ready-made fences for flower beds made by yourself, which no one else has.

What to choose flowers

We will figure out on which plant varieties it is worth stopping the choice to a beginner grower:

• It is better to choose decorative perennial flowers. They have many advantages over annuals, they will decorate the view outside the window and on the lawn for a long time. And although many of them will not bloom in the first year of planting, but in the future they will be less trouble, and you will not have to renew the flowerbed and stone fences with your own hands every season. For the laziest, designers are advised to organize the arrangement of the site, calling plastic flowers for help.
• If you want flowers to start blooming in your garden with the first warm spring days, then choose flowering bulbs. Their flowering season begins earlier than all the rest, and there are many options for shape and color. However, although they are very beautiful and bright, tulips and hyacinths do not bloom for long, giving way to later varieties. Scenes, for example, will please you with their beauty already in March, then the turn of delicious crocuses, well, and then they are replaced by arrogant daffodils and chic tulips. It is worth pampering yourself with such an aesthetic pleasure, and make the site design in the form of a flowerbed with bulbs.
• If you decide to create a flowerbed with tulips, then they will best look in structures of round shapes, where the fences made of stones or wood, made by yourself, are also round.
• An elegant unpretentious primrose looks wonderful in a summer cottage. This beautiful flower is in perfect harmony with violets.
• Roses work wonderfully with chic phloxes. Such ideas are especially appreciated by professional designers.
• If you decide to make a flowerbed of stone with annuals with your own hands, then you can experiment with a palette of shades every year, play with shapes and color combinations, please yourself with bright solutions, show your imagination and fiction. Such annual flowers such as marigolds, petunia, balsam, dahlia, etc. are especially good for a summer cottage. They are also very unpretentious, which will allow busy people to leave for business or work in the city and feel comfortable knowing that decorative flowers perfectly survive without their constant participation.

Flowerbed ideas

• Design from old car tires. We all saw such flower beds outside our window. Enthusiastic pensioners with their own hands decorate yards and lawn spaces near urban high-rise buildings. You can take this simple example into service, supplement it with “copyright” touches in the form of painting and decoration - without special expenses and with minimal loss of time, you will have original decorative flower beds for flowers.
• And you can not just cut the tire in half, but whimsically bend it in the form of a vase. To do this, however, require a certain skill. Then this “flowerpot" can be painted in a bright color or whatever, and everything can be filled with earth and plant beautiful flowers. It will look like plastic products. Also, multi-level flowerbeds are made of tires, for which tires of different sizes will be needed.
• If an unrooted stump remains on the site, then you can make a beautiful flower garden out of it, as well as stone.
• Independently made flowerbeds made of old furniture unsuitable for their intended use look especially decorative. But in winter they would be better off in a cool indoor environment. Otherwise, by spring there will be little left of the flowerbed.
