Despite the gradual decline in interest in growing on their own suburban areas different vegetable crops and the arrangement of dachas instead of vegetable gardens, however, there are people who continue to plant different agricultural crops on their plots.

And if you approach this process creatively and use different ideas for a vegetable garden, you can significantly reduce the work of garden owners.

Creating lazy beds

The creation of such beds allows you to reduce weeding, increase productivity, and such beds will also allow you to increase the time for rest.

To create such beds, you need to make a box or rectangle from boards tightly packed together. Instead of wood, you can use these Construction Materials like slate, sheets of metal and even permanent beds made of brick.

The size of such beds can be almost any, the main thing is that the plants in such beds are not crowded and they should be positioned so that they receive maximum sunlight during the day.

From inside the knocked together frame they attach PVC trims pipes, in the corners of the structure, as well as in several places along the long side of such ridges. The ends of such pipes should protrude slightly beyond the top edge of the boards. Subsequently, these trimmings will serve to insert arches onto which the covering material will be stretched, if necessary.

The boxes are installed on the site in a pre-selected place; it is recommended to lay fine mesh at the bottom of such beds. metal mesh, which in some cases can protect plantings from rodents. Soil is poured inside such beds of boxes and after filling the boxes, plants are planted.


IN summer period Such beds need to be watered almost every day in the morning or evening, especially in the heat. To facilitate this task, you can always install systems drip irrigation, which will allow you to water the plants not very often, but quite abundantly. This type of garden watering is easy to do with your own hands.

To plant plants, such beds are dug up in the spring, seeds or seedlings are planted, and then the soil is covered with mulch to eliminate weeds.

Such beds quickly pay for themselves even when growing cultivated plants Such beds can produce a good harvest.

Landscaping in the vegetable garden

Even when growing vegetables, each bed, as well as trees and shrubs, can become elements of landscape design. For example, when growing any climbing plants, you should use trellises along which the plant rises. And if you trim it and make it beautiful appearance, then such plants will decorate the garden plot.

It is recommended to install any small architectural forms, fill the paths with multi-colored gravel, plant plants not only strictly in straight lines, but also in spirals, in waves. The beds themselves along the perimeter with outside can be decorated with natural or artificial stone.

If you plan to make the walls of the beds from boards, then they should be sanded and covered in several layers with drying oil so that they retain their natural color for as long as possible.

To scare away birds that like to feast on almost any crops in the garden, it is recommended to install one or two scarecrows, which can also be beautifully and originally decorated and periodically moved from place to place to scare away birds and change general view garden plot.

To choose the most optimal arrangement of a vegetable garden that suits all the parameters to the tastes of the owners, it is recommended to look at numerous photos of a vegetable garden made with your own hands. And then choose the most best option garden design.


Creating a beautiful vegetable garden

It takes a lot of effort to create a beautiful vegetable garden, especially if the plot is on uneven terrain or at an angle. It is optimal if the garden is located on level ground.

But do not despair if the site is on a slope or on a hill; in such areas you can place beds in the form of terraces.

And if you systematize the beds, bushes, trees in a certain order, taking into account outbuildings then you can make a beautiful area.

Well, then all that remains is to maintain the entire area in proper condition so that it does not lose its beauty. To do this, it is first recommended to draw up a plan diagram of the site indicating its dimensions and, if possible (if any), the height difference should be indicated on the plan diagram.

This is necessary not only for the proper distribution of ridges and other plantings on the site, but also to ensure that certain crops do not oppress each other.

To create a certain effect, you can grow different plants that are compatible with each other in certain areas, especially for flowers and flowering plants. With their proper distribution, you can get a stylish, well-groomed and beautiful view the entire garden.

Maintaining a vegetable garden without much effort

IN modern world people are forced to work long hours during the week, and they do not always have the opportunity to tend to their garden in a timely manner.

In order for plants to grow and develop successfully, it is necessary to cultivate the beds. To facilitate this process, an automatic or semi-automatic system for watering cultivated plants should be installed.

If greenhouses are installed on the site, then they can also be equipped with similar irrigation systems and installed automatic systems ventilation of greenhouses. All this will greatly facilitate the work of the amateur gardener and grow a good harvest.

It is advisable to make the beds in such a garden universal so that different plants can be planted every year. This will avoid soil depletion, and periodic planting in the same beds different plants will avoid soil depletion.


Design your garden to your liking

Decorating a vegetable garden with your own hands, as a rule, does not cause any particular difficulties, but it all depends on the size of the plot, its area, topography, etc. The issue of garden design needs to be approached not only thoughtfully and carefully, but also creatively.

Before forming ridges and planting cultivated plants, taking into account those already growing (shrubs, fruit trees) it is necessary to display the entire site plan schematically, taking into account all plantings and outbuildings. The plan should show local area, as well as the territory of auxiliary buildings.

The plan should also show a place for relaxation, a place for a barbecue, and you can also provide a place to create a small pool.

When planting all the plants and arranging all the necessary zones, you should be guided by common sense; you should plant the plants so that they do not oppress each other, and you should also take into account the distance between them (they are specific for each crop) so as not to turn the garden into thickets of tropical impenetrable forests.

So, creating this or that garden design with your own hands is not particularly difficult; the main thing when creating a beautiful garden design is to adhere to the opinion of those people who have already used different techniques for creating a similar type of garden and dacha.

DIY vegetable garden photo

I would like the plot located next to my house or dacha to look like a piece of paradise. For a city dweller, this is, after all, more of a place for relaxation, although, if there are beds, this relaxation is very unique)) Nevertheless, decorating a plot - a country house, a garden plot, a personal plot - is a concern for all owners. The range of possibilities is wide. There are even different styles, so they all look different, expressing the individuality of the owner. True, this is the case if you decorated it yourself, on your own. Even if not everything follows the canons of landscape design... But for some reason it is precisely these areas, designed by amateurs, that are more comfortable.

Site layout

The first thing you should do when receiving a plot is to think about what and where you will have it. You decide where the house will stand - at the beginning of the plot, in the middle, closer to its far edge. Then you “arrange” the rest of the planned buildings. If you are planning to build, determine a place for a bathhouse, then place outbuildings - a barn, a chicken coop, vegetable garden beds and greenhouses, decide where the garden will be. Next come resting places - these are canopies and gazebos.

The main buildings are on the plan; now paths are being laid between them. Straight paths are needed only in one case, if the area is long and narrow. In this case, a flat path to its far end will visually make it closer. For all other objects, it is better to make them sinuous, with smooth bends.

Site plan - placing the house and main buildings

Now it's time to think about placing decorations for the area. First of all this. They are built quickly, planted with annuals in the very first season will delight you, while everything else is still under construction and is still far from beautiful. A longer task is the construction of rock gardens and rockeries. Pulling and laying a couple of tons of stones is no joke; besides, they are planted mainly with perennials, and they take their final appearance only after three to four years. And then, only on the condition that you immediately selected all the plantings and planted them correctly, which without experience is an unprecedented success.

Do you want to surprise your friends and neighbors? Paint the flowerpots with luminescent paint. When darkness falls, they will glow, giving your lawn an unusual look.

The second option for turning ordinary things into extraordinary is to use car paint with a chrome effect. Paint several stones or the same pots and get mirror stones...

Mirror balls are balls painted with chrome effect paint.

Another traditional type of jewelry is. Very small ones are built quickly - from a tire, in a couple of hours. Larger ones may take a couple of days to arrange. But there is no point in constructing ponds before the house is built and the paths are laid. Save this decoration for closer to the finish. Also, after the main construction, it’s time to install arches and canopies. And just at the end of the day, they begin to play with lighting, although there are very simple and original ideas. For example, take a tin can, make holes in it, but not just like that, but according to a pattern, creating a pattern. You can put an ordinary low-power lamp inside, and if there is no electricity yet, put a candle and place/hang it near the house.

A completely unsightly jar turns into a wonderfully beautiful lantern...

This decoration of the site can be hung in the garden or on the veranda. It’s not difficult to do, it looks great, although only in the dark))

A little about styles

Our most common Naturgarden style, although many owners are unaware of this. These are those areas that have everything at once - an entrance-front area, a garden-vegetable garden, a recreation area. Moreover, the areas are small and all, or almost all, zones are visible. Natural style allows, based on the existing topography and soil, to create areas with any landscape. Is there a swampy lowland? Equip it slightly by adding a pond or making a swamp, leaving natural plantings and adding decorative ones, beautifying the banks. You can make a dry stream or build a natural one. Is the area flat? Organize the area like a meadow, perhaps an alpine lawn. Put up a gazebo and plant ivy.

For romantic natures, the same style is more suitable. It is characterized by rose-covered, well-groomed lawns and flower beds, which are adjacent to thoughtfully overgrown secluded places.

Cozy places and arches, pergolas, flower beds, climbing roses - signs of a romantic style in the design of the site

Country style easily recognizable by its characteristic “household” decorative elements. Internal fences - or picket fences, flowers - in tubs, cans, carts. And garden furniture deliberately rough, if painted, then with a dark tinting composition, and not with covering paints.

English style amateurs can choose. Any free area is sown with lawn grass. This type of garden can be described in two words: “all in a heap.” In English gardens, everything can really be mixed: a garden/vegetable garden is a single concept, besides, flowerpots are placed everywhere, and all free spaces are occupied by grass. Another feature is the ivy-covered walls, a large number of roses, figurines and funny figures placed in suitable places.

Lush vegetation interspersed with manicured lawns - signs of an English garden

Classic garden are executed strictly according to plan. This is the option when everything is clear, boundaries, shapes, height of bushes and borders. Everything is lined up and straight. Ornate benches are installed in strictly designated areas, next to which decorative flowerpots with flowers, statues and columns are installed.

Clear geometry in everything is a sign of a classic garden

Fences and picket fences

First of all, the area is fenced off. It’s understandable: building materials need to be produced, but how to protect them? It's easier behind the fence. If possible, it is better to immediately install a beautiful, solid, reliable fence. Not all of them cost much. Budget options can also be very attractive. The main thing in this matter is the idea, and they are in the photo. So, a combination of long and short boards can create an interesting fence, more transparent at the top and almost without gaps at the bottom.

If the boards are placed edgewise, the effect is even more interesting. Now, if you don’t see it, you won’t believe it...

With thin fresh boards you can do beautiful fence, which uses the principles of wattle making. The boards are passed between the posts and bent.

A fence made of slabs is cheap and cheerful, but it’s a lot of work...

If funds allow, you can put up something monumental, such as a fence made of stone or brick. It will require a lot of work and money, but it will also last a long time.

My home is my castle…

For internal division of the site, such solid fences are useless. For a vegetable garden, you can install a trellis made of a thin bar, weave.

If you are “lucky” and there is a blank wall facing your garden, you can also decorate it with a kind of fence along which you can let climbing plants. Interesting option presented below. When the ivy grows a little it will be very beautiful. Instead of ivy, you can plant clematis. In winter, the view is worse, of course, but in summer...

How to decorate a garden plot with flowers

This part of garden arrangement brings the fastest results. Annual flowers bloom within a few weeks after planting, perennials also delight, growing more and more every week. Oh, and here we’ll post some interesting ideas that can give impetus to choosing a garden style.

Decorating a site often consists of little things. For example, normal wooden box easily turns into a garden decoration - interesting coloring and non-standard installation - hang on ropes, which are designed as hands. The pole is used as a basis for hanging pots with hanging flowers.

Sculptures are made from ordinary pots. They pick them up different sizes, fasten with wire, add a little paint or plants - everyone has their own fantasies... the result is marvelous figures.

Even leaky rubber gloves are useful. It's good that the colors are bright and the base is thick. They pour soil, plant annuals, tie them to trees or ropes, and nail them to fences. Fun and bright.

Highlights of our garden: ponds

Perhaps the second favorite decoration of the site after flower beds is. The picturesque combination of water and plants is mesmerizing and gives you coolness in the summer. Decorating reservoirs is a creative process and there are also many styles. You can make a flooring around it from boards. And so as not to have to worry about painting and impregnating them, they can be not wooden, but composite - there is one new material, in appearance very reminiscent of wood. The only difference is that it does not rot or change color. This material is called decking. It can be used for flooring open veranda or terraces near the pool. You can see an example of its use around a pond in the photo.

Flooring around the pond - it will be convenient to walk even after rain

You can also pave the space around with stone slabs. This arrangement will take more time, but many people like this option better. To prevent the entire finish from “floating”, you will have to remove part of the soil, fill it with crushed stone, compact it, and add a layer of sand on top. You can now lay slabs on it. The gaps can be filled with a mixture of sand and cement, the excess can be thoroughly swept away, and then either wait for rain or water the blind area - the cement will set, securing the slabs. The coverage will be reliable.

Using the same technology, you can line the edges with boulders collected on the river bank (or purchased at a garden center).

Boulders are a great way to decorate the edge of a pond

If they are made of paving stones, it makes sense to decorate the shore of the reservoir as well. The technology is known, only the material is different.

Paving stones - no need to look for anything, everything is in the store

Decorating a garden or cottage with improvised materials

As you probably understand, you can make a garden decoration from any object or thing. The main thing is the idea, then a little imagination and work, and the decor is ready. For example, you can make a table or a small terrace around a tree, and use this corner for relaxation.

Often stumps remain on the site. It takes a long time to uproot them, in the process they will trample everything around them... They stick out until they become rotten and crumble on their own. And you can make very interesting things from stumps. For example, use it as a flower bed.

And even a stump on a spring day...

Or make it out interesting figurine for garden.

About the prosaic but necessary - toilets

These buildings sometimes appear before fences, because without them it’s a disaster. Builders will develop all the nearby nooks and crannies, and who, I wonder, will like it. So the most necessary, perhaps, building. Why are we talking about toilets in relation to decorating a site? But because this building can be made in such a way that it does not have to be hidden. Showing off is also not an option, but there is no need to disguise it either. For example, a standard birdhouse can be made from logs. You'll get a mini-hut.

Costs little, looks good...

Plant a plant around it, make it pretty, and this corner of the garden will also be attractive. For example, like the photo below.

A few more options on the same topic. The same simple design can be designed in different ways. You choose the style depending on how the dacha or garden plot is decorated.

Well, if you need a stone toilet, then why not decorate it in the style medieval castle. Only crowds of tourists will need to be driven away...

So, it’s decided - we’ll decorate the garden with our own hands and the photos presented on this page will help you navigate the variety of options offered.

Ideas for decorating a garden with sculptural figures

The basic principle of the idea for decorating a garden with sculptural figures is this: they should be good quality, neatly made.

The best option is ceramics or a special polymer resin.

A special chic is the hand-painted figures. Avoid cheap plastic stamps and overly repetitive themes, and remember that garden decorations should match the style of the garden. However, not everything is clear with stamping: a lot depends on the manufacturer. Sometimes there is literally nothing to take in stores, but in markets you can buy beautiful plastic figurines, but skillfully painted, in which the material is not at all conspicuous. The advantage of garden figurines is that they are mostly small objects; they are easy to rearrange, combine, and store in winter. And also, it’s quite possible to make them yourself. This is a chance to get unique items that you will not find in any other garden.

The figurines have two uses. Firstly, they are used by themselves, and secondly - as constituent elements various thematic corners, landscape miniatures. Either way, figurines and sculpture are creative additions to your space.

In addition to figurines and sculptures, there are some other items that can also be classified as garden decorations.

These are containers for plants, but only original, beautiful, artistic supports for plants, decorations, plugs, bird feeders and garden hanging modules, decorative balls for flower beds and decorative bridges.

How to beautifully decorate a garden and where to place the figures

But remember that it is better to use garden decorations where you will see them often and can admire them.

Ideas for decorating the garden: combining functions

Most figurines and sculptures are individual “works” made from weather-resistant materials, simply decorations. But one of the ideas for decorating a garden is to combine functions.

So, for example, a garden figurine can simultaneously be a container, a fountain, a holder for bushes, and it can have a garden thermometer or lamp built into it.

Interesting ideas for the garden: choosing according to meaning

The choice of garden figurines is large, and everyone can choose to their taste!

One of the interesting ideas for the garden is choosing according to meaning. Firstly, each thematic corner has its own figurine.

So, naturally, you can buy a frog, a turtle, a fish, a heron for the pond, put a fisherman gnome on the bridge, put decorative mushrooms in the “forest” corner, put a figurine of a mole with a shovel at the entrance to the garden, put a decorative wheelbarrow with flowers or a mill etc.

How to decorate a garden plot with a collection of figurines

One idea on how to decorate your garden plot is to collect a collection of figurines. For example, a lot of gnomes can “settle” in a garden, all with different “tools” of labor, depending on the corner where they stand.

In addition, you can also come up with a “scenario” for which you will purchase or make figurines.

For example, if your theme is “fairy tale,” then you need to collect fairy-tale characters.

Garden decor ideas from various materials
