Gardening and landscape is really an element of design and art, especially when you are creating a country garden. Most people do want their country garden to look great both to you and to anyone else who visits. Once you are certain that a country garden is what you want then you should try to create the same ambiance in your garden that you have inside of your home. Remember, these are things that you love and this reflects your tastes and styles.
You can bring in the same colors outdoors, using the same colors in your plants and garden furniture as you use in the fabrics in your home. Consider creating a garden room that lets you use these colors in conjunction with the furniture and furnishings that match the design inside your home. You might also consider mixing in chicken themed décor, like pottery chickens and chicken platters to tie in with your country theme.
It doesn’t matter what the theme inside the house is, you will still be able to add country flair to it and have a wonderful end result. In other words, there is a lot that you can do to take your favorite design elements outdoors, implementing your favorite concepts into your country garden. Design inspiration for your country garden will always begin at home. Rather than taking ideas from the most popular gardens, take cues from your favorite design elements indoors, bringing them outdoors to add flair to your country garden.
The country garden relies on an eye-catching combination of formality and informality that uses tastefully planned color schemes and artwork as a counterpoint. A country garden might contain an ornamental pond and fountain, and a well-filled perennial border. Often statuary, containers, or other ornaments are used to offset the garden plan. Although these ideas may sound perfect to you, they may also be scaled down to a more backyard-friendly format. A mixed planting of bulbs, annuals, and perennials surrounding a sundial or birdbath perched by a pair of rose trees would make a lovely display that needs only the smallest of spaces.
Some perfect examples of country gardens might include some forget-me-nots, tulips, bleeding hearts and basket-of-gold alyssum. Are you ready to transform those empty beds into blooms that will return year after year? Country gardening with perennial plants can be particularly rewarding, as they return year after year. Whether a flower bed full of perennial blooms is the focuses of your garden or one of many features just remember that using purple as the primary color brings together many species. A lush overflowing border of country flowers presents bloom in variations on the lavender shade, including generous numbers of liatris, anemone, and phlox.
Carefully set rows of country flowers bring order to any garden, but a close planting and thick, leafy stalks will create an impression of natural, untended growth at the same time which is true country garden style. Country gardens are breathtaking and will be enjoyed by many!
