How to design a flower bed at your dacha with your own hands

Wondering how to decorate your garden without hiring professionals or spending a fortune? Let's explore how to design a flowerbed at your dacha yourself, with photos and ideas.

How to start laying out a flower bed

First, you need to draw a plan on paper. Yes, a very simple one: how you envision your flowerbed, what plants you'd like to place there, and what shape you'd like it to take (or give them, if you're planning multiple flowerbeds). Once you've decided on the shape (it can be anything you'd like), decide what colors you'd like to see; you can even sketch out a preliminary design with colored pencils. Next, consider what kind of flowerbed you'd like to see—what plants, a single flowerbed with a single species, or a bed with multiple species of flowers varying in height, bushiness, flowering phase, and so on.

In fact, you can create a flowerbed where some flowers bloom in the spring, followed by others, then others, and so on. That is, from early spring until the cold weather sets in, you'll have a constant bloom at your dacha—it's so beautiful and so inspiring! Gladioli are especially beautiful as centerpieces in a flowerbed; see how to prepare their bulbs for planting.

We use wild stone, plastic bottles, tires

With a little imagination, you can easily create a few wonderful flower beds at your dacha using various materials you have on hand. Those old tires lying around—put them to good use! Paint them brightly, place them where you want, fill them with good soil, and plant your favorite flowers. See how beautiful it can look:

We've collected a lot of plastic or glass bottles—let's put them to good use! Glass bottles can be planted around the perimeter of a flowerbed; they'll look quite pretty. Plastic bottles can be used in a variety of ways: cut out the middle, filled with soil, and hung on an arch, or placed along a fence. You can cut a bottle into several pieces, plant them around the perimeter of your house, and plant different plants in each. Or tie the high bottoms to an acre and plant hanging flowers in them—so beautiful! Or simply string roses up the arch—gorgeous!

Create a vertical flowerbed using several pots of different colors, shapes, and sizes, and plant flowers of similar colors and heights. Or create an arch, string a vine up it, and hang the same cut-off bottle bottoms containing brightly colored flowers between them. Ornamental shrubs are also a great way to camouflage unwanted walls and areas of your property.

How to make a flowerbed

First, decide on the site and shape, then add soil to raise the flowerbed, making it stand out. Create a border using natural rock, tree cuttings, tires, and other odds and ends.

Now decide on the flower types and get going! Plants can be planted according to height: groundcovers come first, followed by low-growing plants, then medium-sized ones, and the tallest, single specimens with lush blooms and vibrant colors can be planted in the center.

You can create a carpet-like flowerbed by densely planting different flowers of the same height and blooming season, creating a woven carpet. However, this is quite a complex undertaking. The easiest way is to create a flowerbed with one or two favorite flowers, choosing them in different colors, and edging them with small, long-blooming flowers like marigolds, which will decorate the interior and enhance its beauty.

If you have a pond, you can decorate it with a floating flowerbed, planting it on a lightweight material like foam – it looks very beautiful and interesting.

In general, anything can be used for various flowerbeds and gardens—old wheelbarrows, sinks, beds, chairs, and all sorts of unwanted utensils. If you take a closer look at it, decorate it, and plant flowers in it, placing it in a specific spot on the property, you can create a stunning composition that will delight you and amaze your guests. And here's what you can make from an old, rotten log with a little care:
