At the dacha you want, first of all, to have a rest, and not to carry out garden "repair". Maybe there are ways to make the garden beautiful and original without putting in a lot of effort? Yes, they are!

So, have fun relaxing in your garden, because there are 11 simple ways to decorate it:

Method 1. Decorate your garden with water features

This remedy belongs to potent, completely changes the idea of / u200b / u200bthe garden. Arrange at least a small water element on the site. There is no need for grandiose projects. A tiny film pond or an old baby bath dug into the ground will be enough. Or you can use a ready-made plastic mold, there are many different options on sale. Instead of a pond, you can arrange a fountain. In general, the main thing is not how big the reservoir is, but how its coastline is shaped. This will help decorate your garden quickly.

Water element does not necessarily mean real water. The water symbol can also be used. For example, make a "dry" pond or stream of flowers, pebbles, glass pebbles or colored gravel.

Method 2. Decorate the garden with stone

Natural stone will never hurt even in the garden. Firstly, stone is always beautiful and very natural, it is no coincidence that in the gardens made in the Japanese style - and these are one of the most exquisite gardens - so much attention is paid to admiring the stone. Secondly, the stone gives the garden the missing relief without the construction of expensive retaining walls. The relief can be successfully imitated by stones of various sizes, laid in various compositions. Just stones, not even alpine slides or rockeries. You can also dream up and arrange rocky compositions of stones, plants and other elements, made to your liking.

Method 3. Make at least one new, stylish flower garden

Yes, not just like that, but with an idea, with a "twist": maybe it will be an author's composition of flowers, a flower bed of an unusual shape or type, or maybe you use interesting, not "like everyone else's" materials to frame your flower bed … There are so many interesting ideas on this topic!

For example, a flower garden in a boat, in a wheel from a cart, a flower garden-picture, letters made of flowers, a hedgehog flower garden, a flower garden in a basket, a garden from a host or a garden of stonecrops on the roof of a small decorative hut.

Method 4. Install beautiful plant supports

Any support, but not too small, is a wonderful spatial element that changes the appearance of the garden. One arch, a new trellis or pergola, an obelisk or a screen is enough to change the view of the garden. What are good about vertical supports is that they decorate the garden in winter, as well as the fact that they can be bought ready-made and installed on the site.

Method 5. Arrange stylish plant containers

These mobile flower beds decorate the garden so much! And decorating them is as easy as shelling pears: just paint them, decorate them with decoupage, shells, beautiful ropes, paste over with pebbles or cover with textured plaster, or "age". And also quite unexpected objects can be used as containers, adding creativity and imagination to the garden (for example, an old large iron, a barrel or … a rubber boot).

Method 6. Get new garden accessories

More bright details - more sense of novelty. One or two interesting garden figures, suitable for your site, its design, will make your garden original. There is a huge selection of figurines and accessories on sale now, just don't buy the first one that comes across. Search properly and you will surely find something very, very worthy.

Method 7. Install new fixtures

But no need to lay an electrician! Let's do it easier: we purchase and install beautiful solar-powered garden lamps. There are so many: for every taste, every shape, there are even lamps in the form of animal figurines. And it is very, very inexpensive!

In addition, you can change the lighting scenario of the area as you wish, placing the lamps in a new way each time.

Method 8. Arrange an author's miniature in the garden

Author's garden miniatures are, as a rule, small compositions of plants and various accessories, made in the form of complete images or plot scenes. Anyone can decorate the garden this way. Accessories can be anything from colored gravel, driftwood and wood cuts to laser CDs, ceramic tiles and even some pieces of furniture. The main thing is to find a suitable "scenario"! For example, you can make an “onion garden”. This is a small, no more than 1 square meter composition, which looks like a small rock garden, only instead of clumps of alpine plants, clumps of perennial onions are planted: chives, onions, batuns, slimes, sweet onions, multi-tiered onions. If you want a miniature, both unusual and useful, you can make a "mushroom garden". Cultivated mushrooms, such as oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, can be placed in a beautiful composition of roots, stumps and driftwood. It is also worth adding here wild or garden flowers of a predominantly "ecological" style, sedges, ferns and a garden figurine, for example, a pretty woodland.

Method 9. Arrange a garden module

A garden module is a flower garden or any composition of plants that is arranged in the paving: for this, several tiles are removed from the paving. Also, the module can be provided in advance, even during the construction of the site. The module is always effective, the impression it makes is incomparable with its size, even a tiny module can become the main accent of a garden.

And also, the garden module visually enlarges the space of the corner of the garden where it is located.

Method 10. Give your garden exotic touches

Indeed, exotic, rare plants are not at all necessary to have in the garden, especially since our goal is an easy-care garden. You can add exotic "touches" to the garden at the expense of other, most ordinary plants. True, they must have an exotic appearance. For example, why not use black tulips, green gladioli and zinnias, pink or white calendula?

Do you like to plant flowers?

	Yes, this is my hobby.
	Sometimes I plant it, it's nice.
	I don't like messing with plants at all.

Method 11. Place the "thing everyone is talking about" in the garden

It should be a noticeable, bright, unusual, characteristic accessory that will immediately attract everyone's attention and really become a topic of conversation. The idea of such a thing is completely up to you, it can be anything, but, of course, "fit" into the context of your garden. A good example of such a thing is an unusual sculpture, an original design for vertical landscaping, or a creative panel for the facade of a gazebo.
