Lazy garden
Every gardener dreams of a beautiful and well-kept plot. But not everyone agrees to devote maximum time to him. Therefore, many people prefer to set up a “lazy” garden that does not require much attention. It is not difficult to grow such beauty, it is enough to plan the landscape and plant unpretentious crops.
Description and photo of the “lazy” garden
A garden made in the English style can be classified in a similar category. His negligence and slight neglect look attractive at any time of the year. In addition, it is much easier to maintain such a landscape than classical or French with their clear lines.
It is not so difficult to build a “lazy” garden on your site.
You will have to take care of the crops much less if you cover the ground near the plantings with non-woven material and cover it with gravel. This will save you a lot of weed control.
When creating a lazy landscape, remember that this kind of design loves moderation. That is, make a small front garden, and plant the rest of the area with lawn grass. Otherwise, you risk creating an abandoned field of flowers. Do not forget to arrange tile paths. They will not only add charm to the garden, but also reduce the care of it by an order of magnitude. And also mulch the soil near the plants with wood chips or other suitable material.
Beautiful plants for a lazy garden
Remember that in most cases flowers require a lot of attention. Therefore, for the arrangement of the “lazy” area, give preference to unpretentious shrubs. Moreover, there are quite a few such crops and they are distinguished by a bright leafy and voluminous crown. The following plants look good in the garden:
- cotoneaster;
- barberry Thunberg;
- lapchatka;
- holly mahonia.
All these shrubs are not only beautiful, but also not capricious. Therefore, planting and caring for them does not take much time.
If you can’t imagine a garden without flowers, then plant daisies, chamomile or clover. These crops grow rapidly and cover the lawns with attractive carpets. Plus, they choke the weeds, so there’s no need to waste time weeding.
In order not to plant annuals annually, give preference to self-seeding flowers, such as poppy, cornflower, flax, calendula
Unpretentious flowering shrubs can be grown along the fences. For example, lilacs, rose hips will delight you with a bright color and pleasant aroma, and at the same time they do not need practically any care.
Anyone can create an attractive “lazy” garden. It is enough to make a little effort, and your site will sparkle with new colors.
