Garden Design through the senses
People ask me all the time, what to do with their garden. I can immediately feel his frustration and disappointment. They feel intimidated and separated from their landscape. After studying garden magazines and plans, they still do not know where to start. I mean often say: "I thought it would be more fun. "I agree. Garden should be fun. It is also natural. How can we create this rich, inviting spaces that are beautiful and personally? Maybe it's as simple as defining the gardener in the back garden, Indoor Gardener, speaks to us through the senses.
What is your favorite feeling enjoy the garden? Close your eyes and think of the word "garden". What memories, sounds, tastes, fragrances or images come to mind? They are inundated with visual or do you immediately think of biting in a ripe, red tomato? Maybe SIP, see Iced Tea in the shade, or the smell of roses. Note the impressions you receive and create a list. It is natural to make your dominant sense in the first place. Remember, the secondary elements that you want to take all of the senses.
View
Although the garden is the most obvious visual, it has not be normal. They are marked by brightly colored flowers bright or calm landscape with shadows deep and minimalism? You might prefer the complexity and precision of a formal English garden. Sign up for your visit gardens and gather ideas from established gardens. Remember, solar lighting, candles and citronella torches for your pleasure to extend. Gardens can be magical night!
Sound
Sound in the garden is often overlooked. For instant gratification, you can chimes a fountain or wind up. To load the songbirds, adding birdhouses and a charger. Consider speakers at any time if you want you entertain outdoors. You can purchase waterproof speaker systems in the shapes of rocks.
Smell
Everyone loves the scent roses in full bloom. Consider beds lemon thyme and sage. Try moonflower vine growing on the fence. It blooms at night and has a clean, refreshing fragrance. Get a book on herb gardening, the possibilities are endless. I like to grow rosemary, patchouli and lavender for soap making.
Taste
There's nothing like the grass growing. Many of them can be dried or frozen to enjoy throughout the year. My favorites are the basil and chives. Market gardening is a passion for many. Do not let a small courtyard inhibit your plans. I like to mix vegetable plants in my small perennial and annual flowers. You can grow tomatoes and peppers in a pot on the back porch. small fruit trees are easy to grow and maintain. They add ornamental value, too. Try a peach or apple dwarf.
Touch
Few people thought the sense of touch in planning a garden. It is key that we take for granted. We can not forget how much we enjoyed barefoot on the grass like a child. Have you ever stopped to see people in a nursery? You will notice people pine needles, leaves or frictional contact with blades of grass. It a natural inclination. There are many subtle ways to communicate with the sense of touch in the garden .. Remember to add a hammock or hammock, enjoying the breeze on the skin. Like my copper fire as often as possible for heat and ambiance on a cool night. Try sky in a hot bath. The warmth and stimulating jets can soothe sore muscles and rejuvenate the spirit. Anything that makes you physically comfortable in the garden can satisfy your sense of touch.
Now that you have an interesting list for inspiration, access and dig again. Indulge your senses and your home gardeners arise.
