beautiful and simple gardens

If you have a house with some garden, it is normal to want it to be well cared for and very beautiful. Simply because, when you look at it, it will make you smile. So, how about we give you some ideas for beautiful and simple gardens?

He Just encouraging yourself to create like this can be very therapeutic and help you relax your mind., to have another point of view or simply to disconnect from day to day. Do you dare to see what we have come up with?

a garden with stones

Yes, stones. You can actually use them in many different ways. For example:

  • Can place the stones forming pathsso that, when you go out into the garden, you have several directions to follow and, each one, leads you to a corner of the garden with different plants, flowers… Of course, we recommend that the base be a lawn or similar so that there is a green accompaniment in your way.
  • Use the stones to delimit plant areas. For example, make a kind of wall with them to separate some plants from others, or simply to serve as a border to be able to water them without losing the water.
  • Plant between stones. In this case you should consider plants that are really good in rocky areas.

You can establish an area of ​​rocks, not so much to have beautiful and simple gardens, but as a way to give a “rest” and enjoy a stone structure without more (although if some plants grow between the stones it will be much better with the passing weather).

If you don’t want to dedicate a lot of time to your garden, either because you don’t have time, because you’re not good at it, or because of the conditions where you live, you can opt for this.

We know that It is not the same as the natural but for that very reason, instead of covering the garden with natural plants, you could place just a few, prioritizing artificial ones that avoid having to spend a lot of time on them.

For example, if your garden is small, you could cover the ground with artificial grass and in the center, or delimiting the space, you could put a row of wild flowers (they practically take care of themselves). Many are annuals and come out again the following spring, so you shouldn’t have to worry about them.

Another option is place one or two trees in the garden (if it is big) and take care of them, or some hedges (natural or artificial, we leave that to your liking).

Nice and simple gardens with pathways

Having a path in the garden that takes you outside or into the house is something very common. But if, in addition, on the sides, either on both, one or zigzag, you decorate it with some flowering plants, it will be much more beautiful.

Now, we must be objective. And yes, It will look very nice, but you have to be careful with insects, especially if what you plant are flowers that attract wasps, bees, etc. Although they do not have to sting, if you pass you can get a good scare (especially if you are allergic).

So you have to weigh whether it is the best or you should leave the way clear and dedicate the decoration to parts where you don’t spend so much.

Gravel to recreate a desert

What if you gave your garden a twist? When you think of beautiful and simple gardens, it is normal for you to imagine a green expanse with trees, plants and flowers everywhere. But, what if we imagine a desert with plants from that place?

Well yes, it is another idea that you can carry out. In fact, you will only need gravel and plants related to that area (such as palm trees, ginkgo trees, etc.).

You should throw the gravel all over the garden floor and, sprinkled, some vegetation. For example, some palm trees would look good in one corner of the garden, while the gingko could be in the center or on the other side.

Besides, there is more vegetation that you can consider, even with flowers.
