Decorating flowers with ornamental grasses and interestingly shaped leaves looks beautiful. With them, the flowerbed will be original, even when the flowers are not blooming. But you shouldn’t try to place a lot of different plants. The territory of the site should look holistic and harmonious.
Of course, it’s not enough just to plant flowers beautifully. Flowerbeds also look more original if they are decorated around them. The composition must be complete.

It is important not to overload the area with crafts or other design solutions, everything should be in moderation. Imagine, create, surprise!
Everyone who has a dacha or personal plot, trying to make it beautiful. But few people succeed in having land and not planting cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley: they want not only to admire the flowers, but also to enjoy their own harvest. Yours tastes better. So they bashfully hide the vegetable garden somewhere behind the garden, at the edge of the plot. But in vain. A properly made and planned vegetable garden can be a decoration. There is even such a thing as landscape design of a vegetable garden, and it may be French or English. Like this. What’s interesting is that it’s easy to make beautiful beds with your own hands. To do it yourself, you just need to know a couple of secrets and rules.
Evenly planted leafy vegetables different varieties- this is already beautiful
Decorative vegetable garden
You have probably noticed that vegetable and aromatic crops are beautiful both during flowering and during fruiting. Even potatoes bloom with cute flowers, and the rich color of their tops can be the envy of some flowers. The multi-colored shiny peppers on the bush are beautiful, the red and green tomatoes, even the cucumber bed with plants climbing along the arch looks good. There are also colorful salads, different types cabbage, all sorts of parsley, dill and other healthy and fragrant herbs. Aesthetes noticed this and began to decorate the beds beautifully. There are even two different types ornamental vegetable gardens.
French vegetable garden
In the classic version, these are symmetrical beds, in the center of which there is a sculptural group, a fountain, and another recreation area. Such vegetable gardens were made near castles, and they were also a place of rest. The strict geometry of the planned site further emphasized the splendor of the castle. He was always the priority.
Clearly shaped beds, their boundaries marked by border plantings
Alternating colors are the basis of the decorativeness of the French vegetable garden
Beautifully laid out paths also contribute
In the center of the composition is a fountain or sculpture
IN modern version The beds can be square, rectangular, or in the form of a sector of a circle. All of them are separated by clear paths; border plants are planted along the edge of the beds. It’s clear that you can’t install a French vegetable garden in its pure form on your 6-10 acres, but it’s very possible to do something similar.
In general, there are two types of beds - at the same level with the soil and raised. It is easier to organize a vegetable garden on one level, but raised beds are more convenient to cultivate. To fence them, you can use boards, or slate cut into strips; if desired, the fence can be made of stone or woven from wicker. This is who can or wants to aim at what. A few examples of how to make a fence for beautiful beds look at the photo.

More about the organization raised beds read here and general rules site planning are described in this article.
For beds at the same level with the ground, plants can be used instead of borders. For example, parsley, regular or curly, lettuce of different colors. It is clear that the plants will be gradually cut off, but you can first plant them densely, gradually thinning out the planting. If space allows, along the edge of the beds you can plant marigolds or calendula, only a low border, and other plants that produce dense greenery and grow small in height.
Curly parsley - beautiful and healthy
The border bush will not grow in one year, but it looks beautiful
Vegetable beds edged with flowers - beautiful
The main focus of the French vegetable garden is the layout and evenly planted rows. The second is in the alternation of colors. The third is in beautifully made paths that highlight the greenery.
To make everything look beautiful, you need to alternate the shades of plants, and to imagine how everything will look, it is better to draw in color. They draw as best they can: on a computer in a design program or on a landscape sheet. There you can also develop a layout of the beds yourself if you draw everything to scale. Then the ideas will need to be transferred to the site. There are several options for bed layouts in the photo.
Beautiful beds can be obtained from rectangular, triangular or diamond-shaped beds
If a circle cannot be fit into a plot, a semicircle or even a quarter of it looks good
Clear plantings and paths are the basis of any ornamental garden.
For some reason, our gardeners prefer the radial scheme for the vegetable garden. Probably because it resembles a cake)))
And lest you think that in our conditions it is impossible to create anything like this, below are several amateur photos from real dachas and garden plots where French beds have been living for more than one year.

It is not as symmetrical as the French one and it is dominated not by the castle or the house, but by the lawn. Vegetables are interspersed with flowers and all plantings emphasize the attractiveness of the lawn. The house itself is also more of a vertical bed: ivy often climbs along the wall, pots and flowerpots stand and hang. Everything is well-groomed and does not smell “wild”.

From boards
There are many options for borders and fences for beds made of boards. From the simplest - four boards nailed together into a square or rectangle, to complex structures.
In the very simple version take two long boards, two short ones (according to the width of the bed). Nail a block with a cross section of 50*50 mm to the short edges. Its length is 15-20 cm longer than the height of the boards. Then nail long boards to the free side of the bars, assembling a rectangle.

A dacha is a place not only for relaxation, enjoying nature or useful physical activity, but also for creativity. Owners of their own piece of land always strive to ennoble it as much as possible, bringing in a piece of themselves. The main thing in this matter is to find an interesting idea that even a beginner can implement. Today we will talk about how to create decorations for the garden with your own hands, because even flowers need decoration!
Where to begin?
A small plot of land on which several flower beds are grown. Hidden among the tall stems of roses or tulips are bright toy gnomes with ever-smiling faces. This is probably what a decorated garden looks like in the minds of people who absorb images from American films. In reality, oddly enough, everything is much more interesting and varied when it comes to jewelry, especially those that you can make yourself.
The beauty of homemade crafts is that you don’t need a large investment to create them. Moreover, original and aesthetic elements are often realized from improvised items that you have long considered trash. Old logs, worn tires are used, plastic bottles- some of these materials will definitely be found in the pantry at the dacha.
Decorating a garden is not decorating the interior. There are no strict stylistic and compositional rules here. But this can only complicate the task, since you will have to rely on your own sense of beauty, while managing not to overdo it with the decor. After all, plants are the main characters of your territory.
However, you need to take into account the general style of the site, as well as the design of the house. For example, around a minimalist building with a geometric composition, even a colorful bouquet of roses, let alone sculptures made of plastic bottles, would look out of place. But for a cozy wooden house You can also have fun creating cute crafts.
Pay attention to the palette of the flower garden. If the earth is full of bright buds, then it is better to choose decorations with more restrained colors - this way they will not blend into the background or look too colorful.
What items to fit into the space depends on its size, your tastes and requirements. After all, filling a garden can perform not only an aesthetic function, but also serve practical purposes. In any case, if you wish, you can always find plenty of interesting solutions!
Functional items for the garden
Fences and fences
So that it doesn't happen that blooming flower beds decorated with neat gnomes, while the fence consists of faceless old boards, you need to take care of this detail.
The fence can be landscaped with vines, ivy or roses. This type of decor looks natural and romantic. A solid fence can be painted a bright color or decorated with patterns, if your artistic skills allow.
A wrought-iron fence with plants entwined around it looks elegant. And you can divide the area into zones using a low fence made of shaped mesh.
Swing
Have you ever thought that a small swing can not only be the key to a joyful holiday for your child, but also an aesthetic piece of decor in the garden? Surrounded fruit trees or using them as a support, they are sure to bring a rainbow mood to your area.
The simplest and painfully familiar solution from childhood is a tire swing tied to a tree. Or, alternatively, a small board on ropes. You can go a little further and build a hammock - for this you will need dense, solid fabric.
You are unlikely to be able to cope with more complex types of swings without woodworking skills. But the result is worth all the effort: single or double structures with pillows and a blanket are the dream of any summer resident.
Birdhouses
If you want to fill your garden with birdsong, you need to make sure that the birds want to be on your site. Convenient and, most importantly, aesthetic birdhouses will help with this.
It is better to do without plastic bottles as a feeder and make a full-fledged house, preferably made of wood. But you can also always create an original item from scrap materials, for example, a dried pumpkin or even dishes.
Lighting
For a garden with a large area, you will have to take care of artificial light sources so as not to wander around it in the evening, as if in a dense forest.
High Street lights They would only look appropriate next to a gazebo or a place to relax. In other places, you can install hanging lanterns. Lamps on the lawn or hidden between plants also look romantic. The swing can be equipped with a multi-colored garland.
Oasis in the garden: creating a pond
A pond is the best decoration for a garden. If you find that at the dacha groundwater located close to the surface, consider yourself lucky - this will allow you to occupy an area of the ground that is not suitable for planting.
For less fortunate owners, there is an option with an artificial pond. Ideally, it will be slightly away from the lawn. To create a pond, you can buy a special container or cover a dug hole with polyethylene.
The finished pond itself is a real field for creativity. You can put fish, a floating flower bed, etc. in it.
Ideas for garden paths
Every self-respecting summer resident who cares about the aesthetics of his site should take care of creating beautiful and neat paths. After all, paths trodden through the thickets look extremely unkempt and also complicate movement around the garden. Fortunately, solving this problem yourself is quite possible and quite fun, given the variety of options.
The difficulty of choosing is due to the wide range of materials: wood, plastic, rubber or paving slabs. Looks luxurious a natural stone, but it combines strangely, for example, with products made from plastic bottles. But it is well suited for a landscape with a pond.
Wood alleys look very cozy thanks to their deep texture. To ensure they last a long time, the surface is first coated with a protective varnish.
The owners brick houses there will certainly be material for the corresponding tracks. By combining details of different shades, you can create geometric patterns, like a mosaic. However, paving stones, pebbles or gravel are also suitable for this effect - the cheapest option.
However, some craftsmen manage to create unusual alleys from waste materials - soda caps or wine corks.
Garden decorations made from plastic bottles
Oh, how many wonderful products plastic bottles prepare for us! And don't let their unenviable environmental reputation scare you. They will serve with distinction as decoration in the garden. The plastic is quite strong, durable and offers many options for use, despite its external unattractiveness.
Pet bottles are an excellent base for creating figures. For this, in addition to the containers themselves, you will need glue, scissors and acrylic paint in case the original surface does not suit you. Well, then you need to use your imagination, because from such a container you can make any figurine. In this case, you can use either a solid container or cut out many small parts from it.
Plastic bottles are great for creating useful decorative items, such as flower beds. To do this, just cut out a small vertical section from the eggplant and cover it with soil. The “nose” of the container will become the face of an animal figurine, which can be decorated in any way possible.
Another option is cheap flowerbed borders. Smaller containers are suitable for this - they need to be filled with sand or another weighting base, and then “planted” around the desired plot of land. To prevent all this from looking boring, the border can be painted.
Garden decorations made of stones
In addition to the fact that pebbles can be used to make garden alleys, it is also an excellent material for a wide variety of crafts.
Large stones are used for flower beds and flower beds, laid out in the required sequence - for example, as a kind of border. For the stability of the structure, pebbles can be applied to the cement solution, while trying to avoid the formation of cracks. This way you can create tall structures.
Traditionally in landscape design natural stone is used to decorate reservoirs, which is laid out along its contour, alternating pebbles different sizes. A well-kept pond will become a key feature of any garden.
Some people also use pebbles as facing material garden elements. With their help, you can even create real art objects by filling them with this material frame structures given form.
But the most popular way to use stone remains figured decoration. Pebbles are an excellent canvas for complex and simple artistic compositions that will wonderfully decorate any garden. With their help you can create, for example, ladybug or a large cat - it all depends on your skill level.
