When a person is the owner of a summer cottage, he can be called truly happy. This is due to the fact that, in addition to vegetables and fruits grown on their own, several acres of land have other advantages. For example, you can make beautiful flower beds with your own hands and become the object of neighborly envy and your own pride. Here we look at how to colorize old unused items from attics, garages or basements.
After these places of accumulation of unnecessary objects are studied, you are sure to find something that seems interesting to you. For example, old car tires have long been a favorite element of gardeners. Bottles, wagon wheels, rotten boards - all this can be useful to us. However, of course, it is not worth using the materials we have chosen in their original form. As a rule, when they make flower beds with their own hands, using old tires, they are painted. You can choose any palette. If you prefer a natural texture, then it is covered with green or grayish, less often brown. It seems that it is a continuation of the lawn, a stone or wooden fence, respectively. Bottles are usually dropped into the ground with their neck down, making a low fence, which will define the boundaries of the flower bed. And with the wheels from the cart will have to work hard. They are interconnected by metal or wooden planks, on top of which a box is installed. Flowers will be planted in it later. Naturally, the use of these materials involves more labor costs, but such a flower garden will look better than the rest.
When you create flower beds with your own hands, you should focus only on your own preferences, because it is you who have been admiring them for at least three months. After the materials are prepared, it is necessary to proceed with the selection of seeds. The background of our flower garden should contain tall plants. If the flower bed does not rest against a wall, fence or decorative hedge, then large flowers should be planted in the center. As you move towards the end of the flower garden, the size of the plants should decrease. This will bring out the beauty of all colors. Pay attention to the color of the selected plants - it looks much better if it is not the only one.
So that you have an idea about the selection of colors, types of flower beds can be viewed in specialized publications. Not only professional landscape designers, but also craftsmen print photos of their masterpieces there, andit is not known which of them is better. Please note that each flower bed is somewhat raised above the lawn. This allows you to highlight it, immediately attract attention.
In order for the work to be more comfortable, you should acquire additional tools. Brushes, shovels, rakes, pots, in general, everything for a summer residence. It is much more pleasant to create something beautiful with your own hands, and it does not have to be a flower garden. You can make fences, fences, utility or decorative buildings, and so that it not only matches the interior, but is also exclusive. Believe me, everything that you are going to throw away can become useful and wonderful. One has only to use the imagination and fantasy.
Creating flower beds with our own hands, we involuntarily plunge into the world of beauty. This creative process cannot be compared with anything. And its echoes in the form of a hand-made masterpiece will delight for a long time.
