Advantages
Many types of plants are suitable for the container, including decorative flowers, herbs,
cacti, vegetables, and small trees. There are many advantages to growing plants in
containers, namely:
Mobile plants gives more control over moisture, sunlight & temperature
Incorporate trees into beds with shrubs and mulch on top of the soil with wood chips. This
way you can avoid mowing or string-trimming around lone plants. Avoid mulch over landscape
fabric it doesnt work well.
Use fall leaves as mulch by collecting them and dumping them under trees and shrubs as
mulch.
Improve your soil by adding compost and manure. Most plants will grow well in rich
hummus soil that holds moisture.
To edge your planting beds, use natural flat stone or large tumbled concrete pavers set
into a shallow trench filled with crushed gravel.
A country lawn doesnt have to be perfect. If starting from scratch, choose low
maintenance grass blends that are drought resistant. You can always get rid of lawn areas later, but
in the meanwhile, lawn will keep weeds from overrunning your property.

The cottage garden is a distinct style of garden that uses an informal design, traditional materials,
dense plantings, and a mixture of ornamental and edible plants.
the cottage garden depends on grace and charm rather than grandeur and formal structure.
Homely and functional gardens connected to working-class cottages.
The earliest cottage gardens were more practical than their modern descendants with an
emphasis on vegetables and herbs, along with some fruit trees, perhaps a beehive, and even
livestock. Flowers were used to fill any spaces in between.
Over time, flowers became more dominant. The traditional cottage garden was usually enclosed,
perhaps with a rose-bowered gateway.
Flowers common to early cottage gardens included traditional florist's flowers, such
asprimrosesandviolets, along with flowers chosen for household use, such ascalendulaand
variousherbs.
Others were the old-fashionedrosesthat bloomed once a year with rich scents, simple flowers
likedaisies, and flowering herbs. Over time, even large estate gardens had sections they called
"cottage gardens".\
DESIGN
While the classic cottage garden is built around a cottage, many cottage-style gardens are created
around houses and even estates such as Hidcote Manor, with its more intimate "garden rooms.
The cottage garden design is based more on principles than formulae: it has an informal look, with
a seemingly casual mixture of flowers, herbs, and vegetables often packed into a small area.
The cottage garden is designed to appear artless, rather than contrived or pretentious. Instead of
artistic curves, or grand geometry, there is an artfully designed irregularity. Borders can go right up
to the house, lawns are replaced with tufts of grass or flowers, and beds can be as wide as needed.
MATERIALS
Paths, arbores, and fences use traditional or antique looking materials. Wooden fences and gates, paths covered
with locally made bricks or stone, and arbores using natural materials all give a more casualand less formallook
and feel to a cottage garden.
Pots, ornaments, and furniture also use natural looking materials with traditional finisheseverything is chosen to
give the impression of an old-fashioned country garden.
PLANTS
Cottage garden plants are chosen for their old-fashioned and informal appeal. Many modern day gardeners use
heirloom or 'old-fashioned' plants and varietieseven though these may not have been authentic or traditional
cottage garden plants.
Roses
Cottage gardens are always associated with roses: shrub roses, climbing roses, and old garden roses with lush
foliage, in contrast to the gangly modern hybrid tea roses.
Climbing plants
Many of the old roses had cultivars that grew very long canes, which could be tied to trellises or against walls. These
older varieties are called "ramblers", rather than "climbers". Climbing plants in the traditional cottage garden
included European honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum) and Traveller's Joy (Clematis viable).
Hedging plants
In the traditional cottage garden, hedges served as fences on the perimeter to keep out marauding livestock and for
privacy, along with other practical uses. Hawthorn leaves made a tasty snack or tea, while the flowers were used for
making wine. The fast-growing Elderberry, in addition to creating a hedge, provided berries for food and wine, with
the flowers being fried in batter or made into lotions and ointments.
Flowers and herbs
Popular flowers in the traditional cottage garden included florist's flowers which were grown by enthusiastssuch as
violets, pinks, and primroses
Fruits
Fruit in the traditional cottage garden would have included an apple and a pear, for cider and Perry, gooseberries
and raspberries. The modern cottage garden includes many varieties of ornamental fruit and nut trees, such as crab-
A patio garden is a garden in an outdoor space for dining or recreation that adjoins a
residence and is often paved. It is a roofless inner courtyard garden, typically found in
Spanish and Spanish-style dwellings.
A patio garden may consist of Colored stones, surrounded by pavers of stained
concrete, to create the illusion of a stream bubbling through the center.
A patio garden plan might include the use of vertical gardening, raised bed gardening,
and container gardening. Each of these techniques is a successful way to garden in
confined or small areas.
LADY FERN Lady fern is drought tolerant, grows up to 3 feet, and has a beautiful
upright habit.
AUTUMN FERN Autumn fern is a semi-evergreen fern and has arching fronds. Foliage
turns a coppery pink colour in the spring, green in the summer and copper in the fall. This fern is
known for the year-round interest it adds to any shady garden and prefers very wet soil.
MALE FERN The male fern is an evergreen fern that is shaped like a vase and will
grow up to 5 feet. This interesting fern likes light to full shade and very wet soil.

VARIOUS TYPES
A potager garden is a French term
for an ornamental vegetable or
kitchen garden.
Plants are chosen as much for their
functionality as for their colour and
form. Many are trained to grow
upward. A well-designed potager
can provide food, as well as cut
flowers and herbs for the home with
very little maintenance.
A witches' garden is an herb garden
specifically designed and used for the
cultivation of herbs, for culinary,
medicinal and/or spiritual purposes.
Herbal baths, the making of incense,
tied in bundles for rituals or prayers,
or placed in charms are just some of
the ways herbs can be used for
spiritual purposes.
DESIGN
A kitchen garden can be created by planting different herbs in pots or containers, with
the added benefit of mobility. Although not all herbs thrive in pots or containers, some
herbs do better than others. Mint, a fragrant yet invasive herb, is an example of an herb
that is advisable to keep in a container or it will take over the whole garden.[2]
Some popular culinary herbs in temperate climates are to a large extent still the same as
in the medieval period.
Herbs often have multiple uses. For example, mint may be used for cooking, tea, and
pest control. Examples of herbs and their uses (not intended to be complete):
Annual culinary herbs: basil, dill, summer savoury
Perennial culinary herbs: mint, rosemary, thyme, tarragon
Herbs used for potpourri: lavender, lemon verbena
Herbs used for tea: mint, lemon verbena, chamomile, bergamot, hibiscus
Herbs used for other purposes: stevia for sweetening, feverfew for pest control in the
garden.

The usual form of a rock garden is a pile of rocks, large and small, aesthetically
arranged, and with small gaps between, where the plants will be rooted. Some rock
gardens incorporate bonsai.
Some rock gardens are designed and built to look like natural outcrops of bedrock.
Stones are aligned to suggest a bedding plane and plants are often used to conceal the
joints between the stones. This type of rockery was popular in Victorian times, often
designed and built by professional landscape architects. The same approach is
sometimes used in modern campus or commercial landscaping, but can also be applied
in smaller private gardens.
The Japanese rock garden (which in the West is often referred to as a Zen garden) is a
special kind of rock garden with few plants.
Rock gardens have become increasingly popular as landscape features in tropical
countries such as Thailand. The combination of wet weather and heavy shade trees,
along with the use of heavy plastic liners to stop unwanted plant growth,[2] has made
this type of arrangement ideal for both residential and commercial gardens due to its
easier maintenance and drainage.
ADVANTAGES OF A TOWN
GARDEN
Town or city gardens are those which are
located within the premises of a city or town.
They do not have a common characteristic.
They may differ in
shape,size,orientation,volume,openess,types
of plants used, and other features.
A combination of several town gardens which
share common characteristics give rise to a
country garden.

Floating plants are those that are not anchored to the soil
at all, but are free-floating on the surface. In water
gardening, these are often used as a provider of shade to
reduce algae growth in a pond. These are often extremely
fast growing/multiplying. Examples of these are:
oMosquito ferns (Azolla spp.)
oWater-spangle (Salvinia spp.)
oWater-clover (Marsilea vestita)
oWater Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes)
oWater Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)
Xeriscaping is landscaping and gardening that reduces or eliminates the need for
supplemental water from irrigation. It is promoted in regions that do not have easily accessible, plentiful, or
reliable supplies of fresh water, and is gaining acceptance in other areas as access to water becomes more
limited.
Advantages
Lowered consumption of water: Xeriscaped landscapes use up to two thirds less water than regular lawn
landscapes.
Makes more water available for other domestic and community uses and the environment.
Reduce Maintenance: Aside from occasional weeding and mulching Xeriscaping requires far less time and effort
to maintain.
Xeriscape plants in appropriate planting design, and soil grading and mulching, takes full advantage of rainfall
retention.
Less cost to maintain: Xeriscaping requires less fertilisers and equipment, particularly due to the reduced lawn
areas.
Disadvantages
Certain plants such as cacti and agave contain thorns or serrated edges which may harm pets and children.
Reduced areas for sports: Reducing lawn areas can limit a gardens use as a recreational area.
Vertical gardens -- think living walls are of the hottest new garden trends . A
vertical garden is a perfect solution for just about any garden indoors or out.
Vertical garden elements can draw
attention to an area or disguise an unattractive view.
In a vertical garden,
use structures or columnar trees to create
vertical gardeningrooms
containers, allow you to grow vines, flowers, and vegetables in a
vertical garden using much less space than traditional gardening requires.
Vertical gardening with upright structures can be a boon for
apartment dwellers,
small-space urban gardeners, and disabled gardeners as well as
for gardeners with large, traditional spaces. Indoors.
you can grow small-stature house plants as vertical gardens by creating
living walls, for a tapestry ofcolourand texture that helps to filter out indoor
air pollutants.
In cold-winter climates, houseplants grown in vertical gardens add muchneeded humidity in months when the furnace runs and dries the air out.
hotels and office buildings are incorporating living walls and vertical gardens
both inside and outside.
