FLOWER GARDEN |
| |
A
flower garden is not merely a collection of
plants. It is the skillful arrangement of plants. |
| |
The gardener should be fully familiar
with the habits of growth of several ornamental
plants. They should be allotted the right
places, in the garden; design based on
their growth features to give the maximum
pleasing effect. The building and the
garden should merge into each other.
|
|
|
| |
| The
main components of a garden are lawns, flowering
trees, shrubs and shrubberies, climbers and
creepers, flower beds, ornamental hedges, edger,
drivers, roads, walk and paths. |
1.
Lawn : usually
this is placed in front of the house. Blue grass,
dactyl on Napier grass.
2. Trees: Trees
are generally planted on the confines or boundaries
of the garden or along the main roads.
3. Shrubs and shrubberies:
Shrub borders of informal (allowed to grow without
trimming) (trimmed to a particular height) can
border the main walls and paths. (Croton, Aratia,
Bougainvillea) can make attractive tub plants
or pot plants for indoor and outdoor decorations.
4. Climbers and creepers:
Light spreading climbers (Antigo on) can be
grown on trellises or coir mesh to form effective
screens to hide potting shed, kitchen, garden
or to enclose the verandah.
5. Flower beds and borders:
Flowering annual and herbaceous perennials can
be grown in beds and borders.
(Dianthus, Ageratum, Aster, Balsam, Cosmos,
Zinnia, Verbena)
6. Ornamental hedges
: Ornamental internal hedges can also be planted
inside the garden with attractive foliage or
flowering shrubs (Law Sonia, Casuarinas, Tamorix). |
