Many owners of cottages sooner or later think about transforming their plot. At the same time, decorating the garden will contribute to creating a good mood.
In the event that winding wild grapes or peas grow on the site, installing an arch is an excellent solution. Forged items look most original. However, the option can be chosen cheaper. The arch can be made independently. At the same time, barrels or hazel trunks are suitable for its manufacture, and a wire woven with their own hands is suitable for support.
A magnificent decoration of the garden is the flowers. With their help, the territory can take an original and interesting look. You can plant flowers in pots, flowerpots, as well as hanging flower pots, which are then easy to move to any corner of the garden. Decorative containers from improvised materials (boxes, barrels, watering cans, etc.) will also look beautiful. Flowers can also be simply planted along existing paths. For this, petunias and geraniums, gerberas and fuchsias, roses and fragrant tobacco are suitable.
An excellent garden decoration that will bring pleasant freshness and coolness is a small pond. Its construction, of course, is laborious, but the end result will bring true pleasure. In order for the pond to be durable, a film of polyethylene or rubber is laid out at the bottom. The edges of the pond are laid out with tiles or stone. You can use ordinary brick, which is fastened with lime mortar. The surface of the resulting reservoir will be beautifully decorated with lilies. A wonderful and original detail will be a wooden bridge. This element is very popular in landscape design.
Decorating the garden in the form of an original bench will be the best place for privacy. You can lay a path to it from sand, gravel, hemp, brick, etc. The coating must be durable and comfortable. If you put birdhouses in the garden, you will enjoy the twittering of birds. These feathered singers will delight everyone every day.
Garden decorations, photos of which are presented in the article, can be made with your own hands. To do this, you need simple materials at hand. The sculpture, which is created from cuts or boards, solid wood or logs, will magnificently revive the garden. Weave it can be from branches or vines. From the stump you get a cute house of Baba Yaga. From whole trunks make cows, horses, dogs and other animals. An unusual snag will serve as a bird silhouette.
How to make garden decorations from unnecessary old things? Fantasy is needed here. At each cottage there are enough things that have served their age. Your original ideas will help them start a new life. One has only to think how to use a clay pot, an old iron, a broken Viennese chair. Firstly, you need to put them in order and clean them of dirt and dust. After that, the items you have chosen should be washed in diesel fuel, sanded, varnished or painted. And then it's up to your imagination. Some items will turn into an original flower pot, while others will decorate a hedge or a flower bed of flowers. All these decor elements are easy to make, and the result is the charm of antiquity that they will give to the garden. Decorations for the site can be made of cement and unnecessary plastic or glass bottles, as well as from many other improvised materials.
In the network of stores selling country goods, you can purchase artificial animals. They are made, as a rule, of plastic or clay. An acquired artificial heron or frog will look great at your pond, and a rooster singing songs on the wattle fence.
