A flower bed at the summer cottage is a must, because with a minimum practical load, a flower bed in bloom is a joy to the eye and can decorate the boring territory of the estate.

Beautiful flower beds at the summer cottage are not just planted beautiful flowers, which were selected in the store from photographs on the packaging with seeds. This is a real work, the result of which will be the creation of a pleasing flower bed.

There are a number of rules that must be followed when preparing and creating a flower bed on the plot.

Soil

Because we are talking about plants, but the quality of the soil will play a decisive role, because plants will draw all the nutrients and trace elements needed for their proper growth.

Plan

Before creating a flower bed it is recommended to make a plan of the future flower bed. In this planning, the location of the bed, its size, shape and the plants to be planted there should be taken into account.

Placement of plants during planting

Correctly planting plants on the formed flower bed is possible using a pre-determined scheme and simple pegs, which should be placed at the place of planting to preserve the chosen shape and appearance of the future flower bed.

When planting, the following principles should be followed:

• leveling. A properly made flower bed looks beautiful from any place, so it is considered correct to place the tallest plants in the central part, the second tier is lower, and groundcover species are used as a frame. If the bed is placed along the wall of a house or fence, then the tallest plants are placed in the background;
• asymmetry. One of the main principles of floristry is asymmetry. It is believed that a composition made up of flowering plants looks better if the principles of asymmetry are respected;
• floristry. When choosing plants, color combinations should be taken into account, as it is believed that the right color gives 60% success in any design work.

Place

The appearance of the future flower bed will depend on the choice of places. When choosing a place, you should be guided by the choice of plants.

Against a background of many nuances it may seem that the creation of a beautiful flower garden on the estate is an event that was originally doomed to failure. In fact, not everything is so sad.
