Simple Themed Garden Design With "Paper Garden Workshop"

Tao-home-garden.blogspot.com would like to introduce you to an interesting design studio - "Paper * Garden Workshop" and let me embark on designing every corner of your garden with simple instructions. Simple and easy to do this!

DESIGN WITH ME - CREATE PLANNING

Is this right?! According to Paper * Garden Workshop, the first theme garden design process is a five-step quick review:

Choose a topic
Brainstorming
Research
Translate ideas into physical form
Create a plan (woo-hoo! See below!)

CREATE PLANNING

All the great colors, hard images, furniture, garden decorations and plant materials will now merge to create a special space.

Just for fun, I have made two gardening plans. Of course, there are hundreds of possible combinations and I hope you have many other ideas to make your heavy metal garden special.

Some design hints

Instead of just putting elements into your garden, think about how you can create a beautiful space.

Make sure the lawn, terrace and bed space are all purposeful ... not just residual space. They should be strong in shape.

Most importantly, keep your design simple. Do not try to combine all your ideas. Focus on the people who make the most sense for your garden.

DO YOU SEE HOW I STRENGTHEN MY SOFTWARE?

The rectangular eaves represent music posters and the lines in concrete represent the rays of the stage.

The three pitches are linked as a series, plus representing the trio of speed, power and precision of heavy metals.

Our color matching furniture, has a heavy, sparkling heavy metal, plus a round iron like a drum.

These planters are recyclable drums.

The fence is corrugated iron, shiny metal, plus includes our skull art of wrought iron.

All plants are in our palette (yellow and gray with a little red from the combat jacket).

Everything is clean and simple reminiscent of landscape styles in the late 1960s / early 1970s (when heavy metal was born).

Because there were so many options, I could not stop creating a completely different plan ..

Let me tell you a little secret about garden design. It is important to keep your living space positive.

What do I mean? Usually we will lie on the bed, think about their shape meticulously, place them in our yard, then fill them with trees ... creating a negative space for us. our main living area. This main area becomes the remnant space, although it should be the main focus of our garden. The main space is usually lawn (although it can also be a porch or floor). This is very similar to the rooms in your home. Each room has a strong shape with walls reinforcing it.

1. Note when designing Lawn:

Instead, try designing this way ...

1. Determine where you want your main lawn area.

2. Define its shape to be ... oval, square, circle, pea, etc.

3. Keep the bed lines clean and / or in wide strokes (without much twisting).

4. Place planting beds and plant materials to reinforce your shape (along the outer edge, not the middle).

5. Now you have a great garden, where you can order garden furniture, read a book, go on a picnic or play a small croquet.

A few thoughts ... although the positive garden I show you above is solemn, your garden doesn't need to be. This process works for both formal and informal gardens. Also, your lawn shape doesn't have to be completely surrounded by plants. You can put them sparingly to still give the idea of the shape of the lawn, without surrounding it completely.

Finally, I want you to remember that garden design is about creating space. This space is made up of plants and landscapes, but you must always remember to create space first.

2. Theme garden design: Rain garden

Join me in the following reference garden design process to plan your own Wellie Rain Garden:

"1. CHOOSE A TOPIC. Wellington Rain Shoes!

2. LEGEND. These are the words that pop into my mind when I think of rain boots: colorful, funny patterns, rubber, polka dots, red, yellow, raincoats, puddles, umbrellas, storms, wet, showers , England, England

3. RESEARCH. To learn a little more about Wellie rain shoes, I do research online. This is what I found:

The Wellington boots were invented by Duke Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, in the early 1800s in England.

Wellesley is considered one of the greatest defensive commanders of all time. He defeated Napoleon in the battle of Waterloo.

This period is also the height of the British landscape style. This style has separated the official Renaissance gardens into extended informal landscapes with wide lawns and winding roads.

4. TRANSFER TO PHYSICAL FORM. After reviewing my research list, my plan developed this way:

Colors: bright, mostly warm colors make me think of fun rain shoes. I threw a bit of purple / green on it to signify rain, but focused more on red, orange and yellow.

Shape: The circles are inspired by umbrellas and polka dots, plus rectangles and rows of trees symbolize Duke Wellington's marching army. Although both have strong, geometric shapes, they are set unofficially like the English landscape style (yes, I know I'm extending it here in the English landscape style, but decided to just practice on its informal / asymmetrical side).

Interior: Of course, I include a light-colored umbrella. It's nice to sit under an umbrella while taking a spring shower and watching the rain garden look amazing, right?

Botanical: All of my plants are recommended for rain gardens in the US area 5. When designing your own rain garden, just Google planting rain gardens for area # and countless Power will pop up for you. Think about height, texture and colors.

5. CREATE PLANNING. See above. "

3. A dog friendly garden

"I had the opportunity to visit a beautiful Iowa garden. When I opened the ornate wooden gate, I was greeted by two sweet little dogs and a third kept by this strange garden owner. When I came across, it was a pleasure to find all the puppies dads ... all beautifully done. " -Transfer Paper * Garden Workshop.

1. Look at this wonderful set of limestone steps that lead to a dog door. You don't see these tiny doors much in the chilly winter in Iowa, but it works well for owners. The plant keeps visitors off the wobbly stairs, while placing them for those with four legs.

2. Not only is it a beautifully built garden for guests in the garden, but it also includes small stairs for small furry friends (who should also relax comfortably).

3. A sweet little child enjoys her favorite garden bench.

4. A serpentine fountain inspired by tourism in Wales. Perfect for small feet to jump over while walking along the path.

5. This fence must be designed twice. The first row of pickets has been installed, then soon after a smart puppy slips through the tight spaces. The sleek addition of chicken wire and the second row of pickets have overcome that problem. How any creature would like to escape this garden?

6. An arbor and gate leads to the back garden. This gate is to keep neighborhood kids out (not dogs). All animals need a bit of privacy.
