A summer cottage without flowers is a banal vegetable garden, poorly suited for relaxation. It is the flower beds that turn a dacha into a desirable place to spend weekends in the summer. Creating a flower bed is a creative process, an activity that brings satisfaction to those participating in it. The time spent and the physical effort invested are justified by the end result.
Where to begin
Planning- the first stage in creating flower beds on a summer cottage. First, the entire territory is inspected, after which the location for the flower beds and their size are determined. As a rule, they are located in the most visible places, in recreation areas, near artificial and natural reservoirs.
3D layout of a summer cottageSome types of flower beds are used to delimit a site and are arranged, for example, between a parking lot and a sports field, between a patio and outbuildings.
Summer cottage project What you need to consider when planning flower beds at your dacha:
- Land area;
- Architectural style of buildings;
- Yard dimensions;
- How much land will be occupied by other plantings: fruit trees, berry bushes and vegetable crops.
There are several types of flower beds. The main and most popular of them are borders and monoflowers. When the location and type of flowerbed is determined, the area allocated for it is fenced with a border that will not allow the soil to spill onto the path or lawn, it is dug up and fertilized. It is recommended to carry out preparation in the fall so that by spring the soil is ready for planting. If the flower garden is established in the spring, the area should be prepared in 2-3 weeks before sowing seeds or planting seedlings.
How to make a mixborder
The mixborder contains flowers of different types and habit. Annuals and perennials, shrubs, herbaceous plants and small trees can coexist here. It is believed that this type of flower garden is planted near a fence or wall, but this is not necessary. It looks great at the border of the garden against the backdrop of tall trees, and can serve as a dividing strip between different zones of a summer cottage.
Mixborder with dahlias The basic rule for creating a mixborder is that plants are planted “by height”. In the foreground of the flower garden, low-growing flowers are placed, behind them are representatives of the fauna of medium height, and at the very end the tallest plants are planted.
Flowers are selected not only by height, but also by flowering periods. Each tier should contain plants that bloom at different times of the year. This will ensure the flower garden looks elegant throughout the season.
Mixborder with roses The mixborder looks very beautiful against the background of coniferous trees: thuja, spruce, pine. In this case, the flower garden includes evergreen boxwood, creeping junipers and dwarf spruce trees, which will complement the style of the mixborder.
Helpful advice. It is advisable to protect perennials with a strong root system with border tape, which will help control their growth and protect other, less hardy plants.
Scheme of a continuous flowering mixborder Border and ridge
Discount scheme Standard summer cottage plots have an area of 6 acres. In such a space it is difficult to place a house, an orchard, and also to allocate space for a flower garden. An excellent way out is a flower border planted along the paths. Its width does not exceed 30-50 cm, it can be monochrome or mixed, arranged on one or both sides of the garden path. The basic principle of creating a border is the use of bright, long-flowering annuals.
Perennial flower border If space allows, you can make a discount. It is also arranged in the form of a strip, but is much wider than the border and there are always several types of plants in it, and they are planted at a certain interval. Thanks to this approach, one plot is repeated in the flowerbed, and it is similar to a regular flowerbed.
One-sided discount Advice. A ridge can be arranged on the street side between the fence and the road. A well-groomed, neat flower bed in front of the house will become the calling card of a summer cottage.
Landscaping a paved patio
A yard covered with paving slabs or paving stones is very convenient, as it is easier to keep it clean even in slush. But problems may arise with the design of the paved area. Mobile gardening comes to the rescue: flowers are grown in flowerpots of various sizes and hanging flower pots.
Flower pots are placed along the borders, at the entrance to the house, near the gate. Thanks to this approach, original flower beds are created that are easily updated depending on the situation. For example, flowerpots can be easily moved if necessary to make room for parking or for a family celebration.
Original idea - flowers in hanging pots Another way to landscape a paved yard is to start laying the tiles by stepping back from the fence. 50-60 cm. The freed up space is used to create a flower border. This method helps achieve two goals: to enliven an empty yard and to camouflage the fence and walls of outbuildings.
Stone flowerbed with thujas and annuals Advice. If the yard is very small, it is better to plant climbing plants along the fence, and low-growing bright annuals in the foreground. A narrow strip of land planted with flowers will create the illusion that the yard does not end immediately after the paving, but that the garden is just beginning behind it.
Hydrangea along the fence Using stones in garden design
An original way to add something exclusive to the landscape of a summer cottage is to use natural stones in its design. There are two main types of flower beds using stones: rock gardens and rock gardens. The difference between them is that in a rock garden the emphasis is on stone blocks, and in a rock garden on flowers and plants.
Alpine slide - harmony of stones and vegetation 
Rockery - emphasis on stones How to make a rockery
To prevent weeds from growing in the rock garden, we lay geotextiles Large boulders are placed on a flat area in a pre-designed order. The largest of them are dug into the soil, making the composition look more natural. After this, smaller stones are laid out in small groups.
When creating a rock garden, it is advisable to use stones of the same type: sandstone, granite, slate, limestone, tuff. The space between the boulders is filled with sand, gravel or fine crushed stone. It is recommended to make the background bedding in a color contrasting with the stone blocks.
Plants are planted last. They should not dominate the rock garden, so it is better to plant hardy species that do not attract much attention: decorative onions, gorse (Spanish gorse), pampas grass, gray fescue or other cereal crops for the garden.
How to make a rock garden
Stones are also used to create an alpine slide. They are laid out on a pre-filled earthen hill, and suitable vegetation is planted in the gaps: saxifrage, tenacious, stachys and other ground cover plants.
Bright creeping and low-growing perennials are also used: aubrietta, rezuha, carnation grass, gentian and others. Creeping juniper, dwarf pines, and boxwood look very good in the rock garden.
The height of the slide can be different, from half a meter to 2 meters. It all depends on the size of the dacha plot. If the rock garden is not high, it is better to make it against the background of coniferous plants, for example, spruce, thuja.
Advice. To prevent the germination of weeds, the area under the rock garden is covered with geotextiles. Holes are made in it in places where plants are planted, and the rest of the area is covered with stones.
The same rule applies when creating a rock garden.
If you don't have time to care for your flower garden
It so happened that visits to the dacha are not regular. Because of this, flower beds are not always cared for on time. In this situation it helps.
It should be noted that it has very little in common with a regular lawn. Firstly, he does not need constant haircuts, and secondly, he is very elegant. The Moorish meadow (or lawn) consists of 70% cereals and field grasses and 30% unpretentious garden flowers.
The lawn continues to bloom all summer, so it looks great throughout the summer season.
- The main plants used in creating the Moorish meadow are:
- Field poppy;
- Cornflower;
- Echinacea;
- Scabious;
- Tansy;
- Nigella;
Decorative bow. Attention. When selecting plants for a flowering lawn, their habit should be taken into account. All of them
should be approximately the same height and none of them should dominate.
Monoclumba - stylish and simple
Traditional lawns can easily be enlivened with a monoflower - a small flower meadow on a green, clipped carpet. In the center of the lawn, the soil is removed along with the grass, the area is fenced off with a flexible border, and the interior space is filled with fertile soil mixture. In the resulting “window” any flowers suitable for the country landscape are planted. Monoflower with tulips
If bulbous plants (tulips, daffodils) are used, after they have finished flowering, bright annuals can be planted in the monoflower bed: petunia, viola, tagetes, zinnia, celosia and others.
The flower garden, located directly in front of the entrance to the house, plays the role of a kind of business card. And the first impression they receive depends on how well he presents the property to the guests. Therefore, it is very important to decide what kind of flower garden we are going to create in front of the house. After all, each type has its own characteristics that need to be taken into account.
Option #1 – flowerbed like blooming geometry
The flowerbed is characterized by a strict geometric shape: oval, rhombus, circle, rectangle. The choice of location is also characteristic of flower beds. They are placed on a hill so that all the flowering plants can be clearly seen. An example of a flower bed would be a round flower garden, in which plants are placed in rings.
A flowerbed in one form or another is present in the implementation of any landscape style. It is universal. You can imagine a beautiful garden without many elements, but you can’t do it without a flower bed.
The height of plants can be uniform or decrease as you move from the center of the composition to its periphery. In such conditions, each flower will be clearly visible. The height of the plants is not the only emphasis that is used when creating a flower bed. Color is often used for the same purpose. The area is very decorated with a round flowerbed, the plants in which are arranged in rays from the center to the edges.
Option #2 – long ridge beds
If you need to disguise a small defect in the building or decorate that part of the building that for some reason you don’t like, it’s hard to come up with something better than a discount. These flower beds can decorate featureless garden paths; the flowerbeds can be placed along fences or parallel to the foundation of the cottage.
The rabatka can be located along the wall of the building, hiding behind its flowering all its shortcomings, which may be invisible to outsiders, but irritate the owners so much
Usually, flowers of the same type, in the same color scheme, are used for discounts. But the designer’s imagination may suggest another move. For example, you can create a discount in all the colors of the rainbow, alternating them with stripes of the same width. Plants planted in a checkerboard pattern look great.
Option #3 – very different borders
The final element of complex compositions can be a border. Located along paths, along the perimeter of flower beds or a flower garden as a whole, a border is always in place. However, as an independent flower garden it looks no worse. To do this, you need low plants that do not grow above 25 cm. Not only the usual hawthorn, but also bright petunias, various marigolds, as well as other flowers growing in bushes or herbaceous plants are used as border plants.
Armeria can play the role of a border, but can become an integral element of a flower garden. A very attractive and at the same time unpretentious plant
Option #4 – a community of plants on a mixborder
Rows of a wide variety of plants, which are collected in a mixborder, have one quality in common: they get along well with each other. Not to encroach on the living space of another, not to strangle a neighbor and not to fight for water and sunlight - these are the main qualities of the flowers and bushes that make up one.
Such a flower garden can rightfully be called the pearl of any garden. It can be placed in front of the house, and the bench will come in handy: you can sit and admire
Option #5 – a piece of natural landscape “rock garden”
The alpine slide or rock garden is at the peak of popularity today and enjoys increased attention from both gardeners and landscape designers. Even palace complexes today use rock gardens. In addition to real alpine plants, when creating them, those that only superficially resemble mountain ones are also used.
Of course, a rock garden is a flower garden that you need to tinker with. Who said it would be easy? But the result is worth the effort
Choosing the right location
In order to correctly plan exactly how to lay out the selected flower garden in front of the house, you should make a sketch on paper. It would be better if it was in color for clarity. Then you can not only correctly plan the space allocated for this purpose, but also calculate the need for planting material and fertilizers that will be needed to turn the idea into reality.
It should be noted that when planning a site for a flower garden, you need to provide for all the nuances of its subsequent care. For example, it is better not to plan plantings that are too wide so that each crop can be easily reached. Typically, plantings should not be wider than 2.5 m.
Agree that this placement of the flower garden allows you to decorate absolutely any home. A romantic mood, a surge of strength and emotions in such a home is guaranteed
The choice of a place opposite the house or near it is natural, although it does not exclude the possibility of planting several flower beds in different parts of the garden. There are wonderful places for this purpose along paths, on the shores of reservoirs or in the gazebo area. It is important that the specific location is determined already at the planning stage.
Based on the existing experience of such plantings, we can suggest that the gardener plan a flowerbed with some reserve of territory “for growth”. Usually, with a positive result, there is a desire to complement an existing flower garden and transform it. After all, the visual result, as a rule, exceeds the plans. To give your wildest dreams the opportunity to come true, the territory set aside in reserve will come in handy.
What planting material do you prefer?
The crops that will become the basis of the flower garden should be selected taking into account the illumination of the site and its soil. Different plants have their own preferences that need to be taken into account. For example, the most important things for tulips are soil fertility and sunlight. There is a place next to them. And, crocuses and lilies of the valley will feel great in the shade of buildings or trees. Daffodils look good next to perennials, phlox and peonies.
To ensure constant flowering of the flowerbed, it is necessary to choose the right plants. The group should include not only spring primroses and perennial plants, but also sowing annuals, which can be changed if necessary
If the flower garden does not consist of only one type of flower, planting groups will have to be compiled taking into account their soil and light requirements. It is important that the plants in the group do not turn out to be antagonists leading continuous battles. Otherwise, the defeated flower will look sick and will still have to be replaced. Not only flowers, but also decorative herbaceous plants with attractively colored leaves will be an excellent decoration for any flower bed.
When dreaming about how to make a truly beautiful flower garden, we always imagine the intended area in bloom from early spring until late autumn. This means that our collection should include spring primroses along with annual seed plants and perennials, which will form the backbone of the planting. Replacing each other, different cultures will create. And this is exactly what we are striving for.
Practical planting work
Planting work must begin by transferring the existing sketch to real soil. At this point, we need to not only clearly understand how we are going to decorate the flower garden near the house, but also have all the planting material on hand along with fertilizers, as well as a supply of fertile soil. Using pegs and twine, we mark the boundaries of the future flower garden.
When creating a flower garden, you can use not only plant seeds, but also seedlings ready for planting. This method, by the way, is more attractive because the result of the work is visible almost immediately
If the soil of the intended area has not been dug up, the fertile layer should be removed by 20 cm. Fertile soil should be poured onto the bottom of the resulting pit. The removed soil must be thoroughly sifted, removing weed rhizomes, pebbles, glass and other debris. After that, fertilizers are added to it, poured into place and moistened. If you are building a ridge, you need to add gravel to the bottom of the flower bed for drainage.
The flowerbed should be planted from the center, moving towards the edges. Otherwise, some of the seedlings or seeds may be damaged or trampled. The elongated flower bed is filled sequentially. Move from planting one row of seeds or plants to the next. It is better not to place flowers in a bunch. A distance of 30-60 cm can be considered optimal.
At the end of the work, the border is planted, after which you can compare the result with the plan. It is recommended to pay special attention to fencing, figured decorations and other decorative excesses that so diversify not only the flower garden, but also our life in the country.
Proper care of a ready-made flower garden
Planting a flower garden is just the beginning. To make it look the way you dreamed of, you must remember to care for the plants. Periodic watering is an important part of care. The first time you need to water the plants is when they are planted in the soil. The next watering will only be a few weeks later. It is important to take actual weather conditions into account. The plants should sprout soon. Now in addition to watering there will be added the need to loosen the soil and remove.
Careful care of the flower garden will allow your work not to be in vain. And the knowledge that you made all this beauty with your own hands will give you the opportunity to believe in your own ability to create, which is already a lot
Autumn is coming and the last plants are fading. Annual flowers should be removed from the flowerbed. Perennial flowers are trimmed, leaving the roots in the ground, and covered with light material. You can show foresight and use pegs to mark the locations of the plants that make up the flower garden. Then in the spring it will be easier to restore the planting. It will be necessary to examine the plants and remove or replant some of them. Affected or dead shoots should not be left to rot naturally. It's better to remove them.
If you take care of your flower garden, carefully caring for its constituent crops, you will have a wonderful island of romance that you can rightfully be proud of and admire.
A successfully created, original, beautifully blooming flower bed is almost always the embodiment of creative ideas on a certain piece of land. To get the desired result, you should realistically evaluate the available space, financial and physical capabilities. Experts recommend starting with planning and taking into account your own wishes, choosing a flowerbed design, and creating a floral masterpiece with your own hands.

It has long been noted that the best inspiration is what gives pleasure. To build a flowerbed at your dacha with your own hands, and then admire the result, you need to draw up a site plan for planting the future flower garden. Armed with a pencil and a sheet of paper, draw a schematic plan taking into account the actual dimensions of the future flower bed. It is necessary to plan a place for a flower garden with the most favorable exposure to sunlight. Many plants require shade or partial shade; this should be taken into account when planting plants and flowers. If the site is located on flat terrain, then the plantings should be protected from strong winds by building a fence or planting resistant plants on the leeward side.
An exciting activity is decorating a flower garden on a site with a strong slope. There is room for imagination and the implementation of the most daring ideas, from creating a patio, a platform at different levels, to decorating a terrace.

A variety of colors or a monochrome flower garden
The site does not have to be a riot of color; planted plants in the same color scheme will become a beautiful oasis. By combining colors and styles, experienced gardeners create a mixborder of constant flowering. It is recommended to use more than two dozen varieties of plants, grouping them by plant height and timing of future flowering.
Having compiled a list and determined the location of perennials, they select flowers with similar needs for moisture, light and frequency of watering.

- autumn gives chrysanthemums, dahlias, coreopsis.
Having dealt with the perennials and planting them in the ground in a permanent place, seedlings of unpretentious annuals are sown or planted in the resulting voids.
Tall and short marigolds, asters of various varieties, nasturtiums, surfinias, petunias, impatiens, and other flowers with a long flowering period will perfectly complement the flowerbed design. All-season plants, such as conifers or shrubs with beautiful foliage, look attractive. Boxwood is often used in the design of flower beds, forming evenly trimmed borders of bushes and green foliage of ferns.
Ornamental grasses (reed grass, grass grass, miscanthus, millet, foxtail pennisetum) perfectly complement flower arrangements.
