Plants for your garden to make it beautiful

Selecting greenery should be based on the light conditions and temperature conditions of the region. These requirements cannot be ignored, as plants can quickly lose their beauty or die.

Deciduous trees and shrubs

Gardeners prefer deciduous trees because they are decorative and undemanding regarding soil and temperature, making them easy to care for. They are popular in landscape design.

When selecting plants for the garden, you need to consider:

• average air temperature in winter, summer;
• planned energy costs for plant care;
• experience in growing crops.

Fruit bushes and trees

A convenient solution for landscaping a home's surroundings is planting fruit trees and shrubs. These plants are low-maintenance and quite decorative. In addition to the benefits listed above, the owner will be able to enjoy natural produce grown in the garden with their own hands.
Modern selection offers the gardener the following:

• standard trees with a lush crown that serve as a decoration for the garden;
• dwarf forest trees;
• weeping forms that act as a hedge.

When landscaping a property, fruit bushes are essential. The following perennials offer aesthetic beauty:

• gooseberry;
• raspberry;
• honeysuckle;
• blueberry;
• currants of different varieties;
• sea ​​​​buckthorn.

At home, it's best to grow adapted plants—they have high aesthetic value and don't require constant shaping. The first pruning is done 5-7 years after planting. With the required light and humidity levels, all shoots will grow symmetrically. It's best to purchase fruit tree and shrub seedlings in spring or fall to ensure they can be planted and adapted to the new conditions in a timely manner.

It's important to consider the placement guidelines—trees provide ample shade and can block fruit bushes from the sun. This is essential for honeysuckle, which requires partial shade, but not for raspberries, which require more light.

What to look for?

Before selecting all the plants for your garden, you need to develop a site plan, following the basic rules of landscape design:

• uniform style throughout the entire territory;
• simplicity of design;
• selection of dominant objects.

When landscaping a garden, you need to pay attention to the house itself and its landscaping style – everything on the site should be completely consistent with the main building.

A unified style doesn't require abandoning the combined use of fruit and foliage plants—they just need to be positioned correctly. Foliage plants often decorate seating areas, while fruit plants are placed at the entrance to the property.

Avoid cluttering the site—this is a common mistake when planning. Large deciduous and fruit trees should be limited; any open space can be used for a flowerbed or rose garden, and the remaining space can be planted with perennial grass.

First of all, you need to choose the main (dominant) element of the garden, and then consider plants as a complement to it.
