One of the most popular types in landscape design is the English style. This style is most often used to ennoble large areas of city parks and gardens. But it can also be applicable in the design of small suburban areas.
The art of landscape design in the English style first appeared in the XVIII century in Britain, after, along with the Baroque architecture of fashion French parks began to come out, where the appearance of each bush was brought into a clear form, which emphasized the total control of mankind by nature. English style was the exact opposite of French parks. Here, all attention was paid to the naturalness and close connection of nature with man.
The main rule in the design of the garden in the English style is a commitment to naturalness, the park should be a continuation of the natural landscape.
In this case, you do not need to drive the picturesque landscape into rigid frames, creating clear geometric shapes of the bushes, as shown in the Versailles style. It is best to ennoble garden patches with a smooth lawn using trees, small bushes and flower beds. You can connect the resulting areas with winding paths laid out of flat stones uneven in shape.
In addition, when creating a garden, you can pay attention to the appearance of a reservoir in the area. It may be a small pond in which water lilies, lotuses or other suitable plants will grow. The area around the pond can be decorated with various flower beds and shrubs.
A good solution would be to create a small relaxation area in the garden using a wooden gazebo, swing or small benches.
As for the choice of plants suitable for creating an English park, there are a lot of them.
There are no restrictions in choosing, it can be any bright flowers, trees or bushes that you liked. It is best to choose plants that grow in the region in which the garden is located. Or use those plant species that tolerate the climate of the region. Also, you need to consider the possibilities of caring for each plant and the period of its flowering. When designing a small garden, it is best to use dwarf plants, making beautiful compositions from them. You can use the use of arches created from climbing plants, the presence of a small fountain or sculpture will also be appropriate.
Despite the fact that in this case there is an emphasis on naturalness and plants are given complete freedom, an English-style garden, like any garden, also needs care. You should learn how to care for each plant and take into account the amount of time that is possible to devote to this. Also, there are a huge number of unpretentious plants that do not require special care, which you can choose for planting in the garden.
Gardens and parks created according to the laws of the English style are a quiet place of rest and comfort, where everything is in tune with nature, there is a sense of harmony and tranquility.
