People ask me all the time what to do with your garden. I immediately can feel his frustration and disappointment. They are intimidated and disconnected from the landscape. After studying garden magazines and design plans, which still do not know where to start. I often hear, "I thought it would be more fun. "I agree. Gardening should be fun. It should also be more natural. So how to create these rich, inviting spaces they are beautiful and personal? Maybe it's as simple as putting outfielder back in the garden, the indoor gardener who speaks to us through the senses.
What is your preferred way to enjoy the garden? Close your eyes and think of the word "garden". What memories, sounds, tastes, smells or pictures come to mind? Are you inundated with images or to immediately imagine biting into a ripe tomato, red? Maybe you see yourself sipping iced tea in the shade, or smelling the roses. Take note of the impressions you receive and compile a list. It is natural to give your dominant sense of the first priority. Just remember to include child elements to incorporate every way.
Sight
Although the garden is the most obvious visual, need not be regular. Are you drawn to brightly colored flowers and bold or quiet landscapes with deep shade and minimalism? You may prefer the sophistication and precision of a formal English garden. Sign garden tour and gather ideas from local orchards established. Do not forget solar lighting, candles and citronella torches to expand your enjoyment. Gardens can be magical at night!
Sound
Sound in the garden is often overlooked. Of instant gratification, you can install wind chimes or a source of free foot. To invite the birds that sing, add aviaries and a feeder. Consider all speakers of time if you want to entertain outdoors. You can buy speaker systems to waterproof forms of rocks.
Odor
Everyone loves the scent of roses in bloom. Consider adding lemon thyme beds and sage. Try moonflower vine growing on your fence. It blooms at night and has a clean and refreshing aroma. Pick up a book on medicinal herbs, the possibilities are endless. I like patchouli grow rosemary and lavender for soap making.
Taste
There is nothing like cultivating culinary herbs. Many can be dried or frozen to enjoy all year. My favorites are the basil and chives. Horticulture is a passion for many. Do not let a small courtyard inhibit his plans. I like to mix vegetables small in my annual and perennial flowers. You can grow tomatoes and peppers in a pot on the back porch. Small fruit trees are easy to grow and maintain. Add ornamental value as well. Try a peach or an apple dwarf variety.
Touch
Few people think about the sense of touch, while planning a garden. It is a key element that we take for granted. You may have forgotten how much we liked to walk barefoot in the grass like a child. Any Once he stopped to look people in a nursery? You'll notice people touching pine needles, leaves or blades of grass rustle. It's a natural inclination. There are many subtle ways to connect to the sense of touch in the garden .. Think about adding a hammock or porch swing to enjoy the breeze on the skin. I like to use my stove so copper often as possible for heat and ambiance on a cold night. Try to observe the stars in a hot tub. The heat and jets of stimulants can soothe aching muscles and rejuvenate spirit. Anything that makes you feel physically comfortable in the garden can satisfy their sense of touch.
Now he has a list of attractions for inspiration, Grab your shovel and go back. Enjoy the senses, and its inner gardener arise.
