Flower garden

Alpine hill

Alpine hill , or rock garden - a site on which plants are grown that are characteristic of the alpine and subalpine zones , as well as lithophyte plants. Usually in the middle of an alpine hill, a large stone is installed, symbolizing a mountain peak, smaller stones are placed around, plants are planted between them. Often, for alpine hills, not only mountain ones are used, but also other plants similar to mountain ones.

Water Garden

Water flower garden - a site with a reservoir . Usually consists of a small reservoir surrounded by stones, in which aquatic plants grow , as well as coastal plants, paths and benches suitable for the reservoir.

Ornamental Garden

A decorative garden is a plot with strictly shaped beds on which garden and ornamental plants are grown. Ridges usually have a sheared boxwood border . The set of ridges forms a pattern (usually symmetrical ). Paths in a decorative garden are usually straight, covered with gravel . For the first time this type of flower beds appeared in France .

Flowerbed

Flowerbed - a site (usually small in size, often higher compared to neighboring sites) in the form of a geometric figure, circle, oval, less often a rectangle. Plants in the flowerbed are planted so that they form a pattern or pattern. For the design of flower beds use small architectural forms . In the absence of flowers or other plants, this site cannot be attributed to the concept of a flower bed.

Coniferous plant composition

The composition of coniferous plants is a site where conifers dominate. For a change, deciduous shrubs (especially brightly colored) and herbaceous plants are usually added to them.

Mixborder

Mixborder (from the English mix - “mix” and border - “border”) is an elongated flower garden in which plants are selected so that the flower garden looks decorative most of the year. In the mixborder there are both woody plants and grassy ones . If the mixborder is bounded on one side by a road (path), and on the other by a wall (hedge), stunted plants are planted along the road, and the tallest ones are planted along the wall (the lianas surrounding the wall can also be the highest); the plants in the center are of intermediate height. It is believed that the width of the mixborder should not be more than one and a half times the height of the tallest plant. Flower beds of this type first appeared in England .

Front Garden

The front garden (from French palissade - “hedge, palisade”) is a fenced area between the house and the road. Usually dissected by a path leading to the entrance to the house, and in the style solution is connected with the architecture of the house. The composition of the front garden is often based on two dominant plants growing on opposite sides of the path and supplementing them with smaller plants.

Parterre

Parterre ( French parterre - “flower garden” from par terre - “on the ground”), or ornamental flower garden - a plot on which ornamental plants are grown that form a pattern ( ornament , arabesque ). One of the oldest types of flower beds: stalls appeared during the Tudors .

Rabatka

Work - a kind of stalls ; a section in the form of a strip with a width usually from half a meter to one and a half meters (sometimes wider), while the length of the worker should exceed its width not less than three times. If it is assumed that the rabatka will have a one-sided view, then differently tall plants have a "ladder" on it, but if the rabatka has a two-sided view, then the highest plants are placed in the center. Usually rabatki arrange along garden paths.

Rockery

Rockery (rocky garden, rocky hill) - a site, a significant proportion of the surface of which is occupied by relatively large stones. Low-growing plants are grown in rockeries: shrubs (especially from the Heather family), creeping plants , cushion plants . Usually only one rock is used . Stones are laid either in parallel lines, or in a natural ("chaotic") style.

Rustic flower garden

A flower bed in rural style (a flower bed in a country style) is a territory similar to a natural stretch of countryside. In the flower gardens of this type, there are also usually national elements: in England , for example, such flower beds are often broken against the background of a traditional brick wall.

Flower Clock

A flower clock is a site with a very specific selection of plants that open and close their flowers sequentially, each plant in its time.
