Garden accessories, decorations
I like to stir up various beautiful things on my site - somewhere a pot lies broken in the ground, somewhere there are stuffed animals, but modern ones - a parrot or an owl spinning on a metal stick. I also installed these carved forged panels and let the plants grow on it. I placed various animals in the ground under the flower bushes, and ducks in the pond. I think the garden somehow comes to life with such accessories. Give me ideas.
I saw different sculptures in some gardening store. I think they look very nice. Ponds with fountains also look good on the site, and benches and hammocks can be placed around it. You can create a so-so coconut paradise right next to your dacha)
Yesterday I saw a garden waterfall in my new neighbors. The circular circulation of water is a wonderful sight. Installed for all seasons. The water just goes down for the winter. It's expensive, but the beauty is worth it.
Yes, it’s worth spending money on such beauty only if you live in the country all the time, and not only come for the weekend. and in the winter I practically forgot about it altogether.
In my opinion, a small pond, 200 - 300 liters, is quite enough; it will be cool next to it even in the heat. I would not put fish there, but would plant various aquatic plants, lilies, for example.
I have been looking for an artificial waterfall for a long time. It's really worth it)
And I think that the garden is much more beautiful when there are some artificial and not only decorations. I also have hanging plants on the terrace, in the corner of the plot there is a future place for an English or Japanese garden, so for now there is an old wooden wheelbarrow there. I decided to leave it for registration. There are also lanterns between the beds and paths.
So far we only have lanterns stuck in the garden and large wicker baskets with flowers. There was also an idea to put a large jug on the ground, dig it a little inside and plant blue plants, as if water was pouring out of it.
Yes, this idea will greatly decorate the garden! Especially if you choose the right color and long-blooming flowers for such a flowerbed, so that they bloom for a long time and luxuriantly.
In my garden there is a clearing with blue flowers, unfortunately I don’t remember the name. Among these blue flowers are two handmade swans. It turns out like swans on a pond. Very beautiful. Do it yourself, I think you won’t regret it.
My friend at her suburban dacha has two hanging pots with bright red flowers right in front of the entrance to her house. Indescribable beauty!
And along the paths I installed flashlights that are charged from solar panels. A very good thing, of course, and also economical.
Nowadays, many people make decorations for their dachas from waste material - the same plastic bottles, for example. But for my taste, such crafts must be made very beautifully, neatly and efficiently, otherwise it leaves a feeling of a garbage dump, sorry.
We placed birch stumps around the garden, it turned out very beautiful and original. Many neighbors did the same, only they planted flowers around them. You can also decorate the garden with water lilies by placing a small 15-20 liter container in the ground. It looks very impressive.
Many people also put old iron basins painted to look like fly agaric on the stumps that you have on your property. Looks nice too.
My neighbors in the country have built a whole area with sculptures made from plastic bottles, the palm trees alone are worth it. Beauty!
Nowadays you can use anything to decorate your garden. Reading from old cars to new beautiful ceramic figurines. You can buy them here
It is very beautiful when all sorts of trinkets are originally included in the garden design. Mown lawn, lanterns, etc. We also set up an overturned cart from which flowers seemed to be falling. Original in my opinion. True, after rain we have a lot of water, this has a bad effect on the flowers, so we made a drainage system and installed storm grates. Now the problem is gone. Therefore, if you also have a lot of water, do the same as us.
make a segmented flower bed
We have a flowerbed on our site that has a fence made of colored corrugated sheets. The rolling height of the sheet was 10 mm, and its color was chosen to be green. The flowerbed looks very good with such a fence.
and we make various animals from plastic bottles
