Flower beds in the country with their own hands - the best ideas for designing flower beds in the country (110 photos)
There are many design solutions with which you can organize beautiful flower beds from perennials at your dacha. They bloom for more than one year, and most importantly, do not require constant painstaking care. We can say ideal plants for arranging the garden.
Flower Garden
The flower garden, which landscape designers call the curb, is a bed of elongated shape. This flowerbed usually has a width of 30-50 cm. With its help, you can focus on any particular part of the garden, so it can border the path, thereby smoothing the corners of the garden, or a green lawn, visually attracting to it. However, in this case, it is necessary to plant undersized plants in the flower bed, not higher than 40 cm in height. A flowerbed looks especially impressive if you plant deciduous and decorative plants in it, because unlike flowering crops, they always look attractive, and not only when they bloom.
The contours of such a flower bed should be correctly drawn, which can be emphasized using a special garden tape. It will allow you to preserve the outlines of the flowerbed that you originally created, preventing the plants from growing, which is typical for many perennial crops.
Rabatka
Rabatka is a German name that translates as a bed. This option is similar to a border flowerbed, but instead of perennial plants, flowers are planted in the flowerbed. It is best to arrange such a flower garden along the house or any other suburban buildings.
When organizing a flower garden, experts recommend planting plants in two ways: in rows or symmetrically. Usually beautifully decorated with flowering plants, the flowerbed can be seen in city parks.
Depending on where exactly you decided to place the flower garden, it will be possible to form it as a one-sided or two-sided discount. In the event that you have planned a double-sided flowerbed on your site, then you will have the opportunity to plant high plantations in the center, most importantly, so that they do not block the general view of the fence.
In the case of a rabatka, certain proportions must be taken into account, so if the bed is too long, it is best to “break it” with thin paths, usually this is what they do in the squares.
Regarding the width of the flower garden, it is directly dependent on the size of the plot area and the height of the plants. So if the plot is small in size, it is best to form a narrow bed with low flowers.
The shapes of the flower garden are different, ranging from rectangular to ribbon.
In general, making a beautiful discount yourself is not difficult.
Mixborder
Recently, more and more gaining popularity is this type of flower garden as a mixborder. A mixborder is an elongated flower bed in which flowering plants of different species are planted.
The location of the mixborder is similar to the discount, along the buildings. This type of beds can be not only one-sided, but also bilateral. When creating this type of flower garden, it is not necessary to strictly observe geometry, because a mixborder is, first of all, a combination of free forms with a wide variety of colors.
For a mixborder, landscape designers recommend making beds from 1.5 to 4 meters wide, if you plan to plant tall plants in this flower bed, you need to place them either in the background or in the center.The base plants of such a flower garden will be flowering one-year plants, additional bulbous species of flowers, which bloom in early spring, and the plants that bloom for a long time will be the final chord.
When forming a mixborder, it must be taken into account that the taller the plants are used for planting in the flower garden and the longer the size of the flower bed, the larger the bed should be.
Stone garden
The stone garden looks quite impressive in the summer cottage. It is not difficult to organize a stone garden on your site, in addition, modern landscape designers offer a lot of options for its design.
The main thing when creating a stone garden is to use the natural relief correctly, and so that the whole garden is organized in the same style.
If the site is located at the bottom of the slope, it is best to use retaining walls or make a terrace.
- The stones are fixed with a dry masonry or mortar of lime, plants are planted in the voids formed.
- Rockery is usually supplemented with a small waterfall.
- If the relief is even, then an artificial embankment can be made.
- When choosing stones, you need to consider that stones of different sizes look more natural.
- It is also important to foresee in advance what height the planted plant will be so as not to spoil the rockery.

Quite not a bad choice, but still I think in the articles you can see options for how to combine a chandelier in the interior, but you need to choose it in the store itself ....
Before, I only looked at designer flower beds in pictures on the Internet. Now I’m seriously thinking about why not try to make such beauty in the country itself. It certainly looks not just, but affordable. The main thing is to start with simpler options, now will be my new hobby.
Interesting and informative photos, now I know where you can use old bicycles and shoes, boats, which I don’t need, unfortunately not, and not just apply, but with benefit and beauty. Now the main thing is that the weather in the spring does not disappoint. Sometimes you plant seeds / seedlings, and then it’s frost. In May! And such beauty does not work (I will not despair, I hope that in the end I will succeed in the discount.
Here is an article written right for my wife. How she loves all kinds of flowers. And how many times I remade her of any flowerbeds, flower beds - do not count 🙂
It will be necessary to show her the article. Here the author has a lot of sensible tips laid out, and there are a lot of good photos of the projects.
I’d like to say about the stone garden: I have already done something similar. Our soil is rocky, and I have made such a small garden, like what the author describes. Only my wife also painted stones in different bright colors - it looks pretty interesting.
Thanks to the author for the article.
All bright experiments!
What a cottage without flowers! In my opinion, the more flower beds on the site, the better. But here it all depends, of course, on the availability of space. In order for flower beds to please the eye all season, it is important to choose flowers that will bloom in turn, and a contour in the form of green decorative bushes will complete the flowerbed. The photo with a flowerbed of densely planted flowers Cosmos surprised, such a flowering of summer is very uplifting.
What wonderful ideas with the design of the beds this article threw me!
I always had a problem with the design of flower beds in the garden. You don’t need to plant a lot of fancy potatoes, but then you have to combine the colors, and the flowers themselves mix correctly. This summer, I tried to plant flowers in a fenced-in flowerbed, so both my husband and neighbors said that my flowerbed looks like a grave. pah-pah)
saved your ideas, I will try to decorate my flowerbeds in a fashion in the summer. Thank you for your work.
