Landscape design does not stand still. It, like any branch of design, is in constant development. And the latest trend of this season is vertical gardening. Many companies offer luxurious vertical "walls" designed for both summer cottages and small apartments.
But, oddly enough, landscaping as a summer cottage personal plot, and a balcony, for example, can be done with your own hands. Are you interested in this question? Then we will consider in detail the vertical gardening of cottages and apartments with our own hands.
Landscaping the site can be done by hand
It is impossible to imagine cottages without plants. It is also necessary that there are plants in the apartment, because green color, according to psychologists, relaxing and soothing.
But in order to properly create a green corner, you need to have some knowledge. First you need to understand what landscaping is and what are its types.
So, landscaping is called all the work associated with both the creation and use of different plants. In other words, it is the improvement of a certain territory.
Can be used
This is the stage of decorative processing of your summer cottage plot or landscaping of the balcony of the apartment.
IN Lately so-called vertical gardening is gaining momentum. This is the improvement of the walls and facades of large buildings, high fences and even balconies and rooms in city apartments.
In addition to the decorative purpose, vertical gardening performs several other functions, such as:
Landscaping of a summer residence. Vertical gardening
Depending on what kind of landscaping you plan to do, you need and different materials. Consider the two most relevant types of landscaping cottages with their own hands.
Landscaping a summer cottage is a huge field for imagination and creativity. Here you can use both horizontal and vertical arrangement of plants.
To make your dacha look exemplary, you need to coordinate the styles of both large and small architectural forms And landscape design. And vegetation plays a significant role in this.
Here are examples of designs for creating vertical.
Examples of structures for creating vertical flower beds
You need to start with a landscaping project. To do this, green areas are marked on the plan of the summer cottage - plantings and flower beds. It should indicate how watering and lighting (if necessary) will be carried out.
The project also indicates which elements of landscaping will be used. It can be:
- lawns;
- rose gardens;
- alpine slides;
- hedges;
- decorative arches;
- vertical systems; etc.
Based on this, the required amount of materials is calculated:
- land,
- seedlings,
- seedlings,
- architectural structures,
- stones and more.
After all, a preliminary calculation makes it possible to buy exactly what will be used for landscaping.
At the peak of popularity now is vertical gardening. It came to us from countries Western Europe. This type of use of vegetation can be used for decorative arrangement of walls, fences, various architectural forms of summer cottages.
The walls of houses are actively landscaped in the UK. Here, creepers often cover not one wall, but the whole house. Ivy and wild grapes are great for this type of landscaping.
Vertical gardening at home
Also, climbing plants can perfectly cover the stone fence of the cottage, giving it some charm. You can also use annual flowering plants, such as: morning glory, azarin, kobeya.
An interesting solution to dividing a summer cottage plot into sectors would be the use of vertical gardening. After all, you see, a "hedge" of bushes and flowers looks nicer than an artificial fence. It can be a continuous planting of shrubs.
As a basis for a hedge, you can use different structures on which container plants are attached.
"Hedge" of flowers looks nicer than an artificial fence
An excellent choice would be to create an arch or gallery using green and flowering plants. After all, you will not surprise anyone with gazebos and metal arches now. And from honeysuckle or weaving roses it is quite possible to make even a gallery that requires almost no maintenance. It's interesting design solution, which can be seen by looking at the photo:
Also, recently the so-called pergolas - wooden decorative lattices, which are a special basis for landscaping, have come into fashion. Green plants are very picturesque against the background of the pergola, creating pastoral motifs. Perhaps its combination with arches and other similar architectural forms.
In small summer cottages, vertical flower beds are a good solution. They allow you to place the maximum number of plants in a minimum area due to the layered arrangement. Using the advantages of a vertical flower bed, you can "make" it bloom from early spring to late autumn. It fits into almost every type of landscape design, which can be clearly seen in the photo:
Vertical flower beds in the yard
Hanging containers are also widely used. It is customary to plant ampel plants (petunias, pelargoniums, begonias) in them. Given the limited space for a vegetable garden in the country, spicy plants and some vegetables (for example, cucumbers and tomatoes) can be grown using the same method.
In short, the choice of forms of vertical gardening is almost endless. The most important here is fantasy and the availability of free time for landscaping.
Plants in the apartment
In the apartment you always want to create a "living corner". But there is not always a place for this. An excellent way out is the vertical arrangement of plants. It is equally suitable for the balcony, and for the rooms, and for the kitchen.
But here, too, there are two ways. The first is the creation of exclusively decorative interiors from plants. new trend in this direction - a decorative carpet of green plants. Many firms offer a ready-made "carpet", but you can grow the same as in the photo with your own hands.
Living "carpet" on the wall
For a structure on which flowers will grow, several components are needed:
- back wall. It must be a moisture-proof material so as not to damage the wall of the house with constant watering of the plants;
- a wire "mesh" on which containers with plants are attached;
- canal providing irrigation;
- containers with earth for plants. They may be hidden behind a mesh. Then there will be a feeling that flowers grow directly from the wall. They can also protrude into the room. In this case, a kind of "bumpy carpet" will be created.
An approximate design for placing plants at home is shown in the photo. Creating it with your own hands, you can combine various materials, as well as change their physical parameters (width, thickness, etc.).
The issue of landscaping the balcony deserves special attention. Here you can place both a vertical wall and hanging containers. Hanging from the balcony, they will delight not only you, but also people passing by.
But another very interesting option is the location of the wall with containers in the kitchen. In this second case, herbs and some vegetables are planted in containers. Onions, mint, dill, lettuce, watercress, and basil can be planted in rows or randomly. There are also special ("room") varieties of tomatoes and cucumbers.
And now - you have a small garden, as in the photo, right in the apartment. But it should be remembered that it also requires significant maintenance.

Foreword
Understanding where to start landscape gardening and what you need to pay attention to. Why is the design of a suburban area done in advance?

Regardless of whether your site has buildings or is a wasteland overgrown with grass, you need to collect all possible information about it. Start with the most accessible - identify the sunniest and shadiest places, find out where the wind blows most often, and how strong it is in a particular season. Orient yourself to the cardinal points, they are easy to determine immediately with a compass or in the direction of the sun. Be sure to explore the terrain, taking a photo, so that after a schematic distribution of zones, a ravine covered with high weeds does not turn out to be an unpleasant surprise.
The next stage is more complicated - you need to know exactly what type of soil you have on the site, whether it is suitable for landscaping and landscaping. This will require a visit to the district administration, where, as a rule, there is complete information about agricultural land. You can do it easier if you don’t want to walk around the offices - dig several pits in different places of the allotment to see how thick the fertile layer is and what kind of soil is hidden under it. These holes can later be used to plant trees, so dig where they are supposed to be.
Landscaping of the site
Be sure to find out the acidity of the soil, for which special litmus papers or devices are bought in horticultural supply stores. There are also devices for determining soil moisture, you will need them to allocate a place for planting. moisture-loving plants and crops that prefer drier soil. It is very important to determine the proximity of groundwater to the surface in order to properly design the garden, as well as to know for which plantings to divert lowlands. If you have a perch, in order to avoid flooding, you will have to include drainage ditches in the design of your summer cottage.
Information about the level of groundwater can be obtained from the Urban Development Department or by self-drilling a well up to 2 meters.
2 Zoning of a suburban area based on the collected data
Rarely on what land plot is there an absolutely flat terrain, most often there are hills and depressions, there are even ravines and fairly high hills, sometimes with steep slopes. Fulfill landscaping follows the relief, diverting the most even places to residential and outbuildings and also for landscaping. If there are many hills on the site, ledges can be made on their slopes, where there is a place for a garden, a vegetable garden and even vertical gardening on steep surfaces between tiers. Sun-loving plants, for example, varieties
