When spring comes, your soul needs a change. There is an easy sliding of plans, our dreams moving from inside to outside, in the greenery. Life registers a new birth and nature itself renews!
The space surrounding our homes should represent a special oasis for relaxation. You can enjoy nature within your garden. You should arrange your garden no matter of its size! Starting from the small greenery in front of your house to ample spaces, because gardens will transform your home into a real oasis of beauty and relaxation.
A beautiful garden must be , first of all, projected, according to your soul and your personality. It must vibrate together with your soul, being a real jewelry of your home. Let’s take a closer look at this splendid greenery, which contains all the elements of a real oasis of green. The garden is a large space, combining savage greenery with elegant species, a sort of game between lawn and trees, flowers, exotic plants with decorative function even in winter time.
The alleys are made in stone and they are guarded by lawn in the front of the house and by beautiful wild flowers in the deep of the garden. The basic functions of the garden - the bench, the small round table with chairs, the fireplace for barbecue, the lake with its special resting area are located in every spot of the garden, so that, wherever you go you find a place to relax. The garden is surrounded by ornamental fir trees, oaks or exotic trees which are hiding the property, offering a shelter.
The lighting system is not at all neglected, a nice sand and pebbles path coming down through the garden, guarded by hand lamps, offering the impression of a runway for planes, waiting and inviting people to dream, looking up to the sky for the serene and sparkling summer stars. Behind the lamps there are ornamental green plants and in front of the house there is an edge of a roses plantation, delighting the eyes with their serene colors.
Another side of the garden benefits of a round place for relaxation, a special place to drink you morning coffee, paved in stones, with a round iron table surrounded by iron chairs, creating a serene atmosphere, of old times. The lilac trees with their serene color and smelling like heaven, guard the garden cheering up the atmosphere and a nice bricked pump springs its fresh waters offering coolness in a warm day. A few steps away, an old huge oak tree shadows the table offering a shelter for your dreams, providing a strong feeling of stability, with a frame of wild blue spring flowers coloring the ground.
The presence of a lake in a big garden is very important. What could be more pleasant than a silent morning in your garden, in the shadow of a tree, where the birds are singing, and a little lake reflecting the sky or the green landscape surrounding? This garden is a rustic one, rustic being regarded as a solution closer to natural. The rustic solution appears as a punctual intervention on the edge of the lake, an observational spot, an element that gathers the family members, determining them to feel at home.
Beyond the lake there is the gorgeous effect of the little cascade, sparkling its impetuous waterfall over a huge stone, an artificial deer watching it from among wild bushes of butterbur and spots of sun rays filtering among the leaves of the trees surrounding. One may think you are on the top of some mountain!
A wooden terrace, like a bridge, looks like a small relaxation oasis surrounded by vegetation. The exotic trees offer the image of a savage greenery, a sense of freedom never tasted before within the madding crowd. A wooden bench, a chaise longue and the abundance of green create a melancholic atmosphere. The front of the house is overwhelmed by colors and serene smells.
Flowers make a garden look like a paradise. Here the garden opens for the eyes, the space is luminous and it is arranged as to be exposed. On the contrary, the rest of the garden offers privacy and shadows, silence and mystery. At the front gate the greenery is arranged and elegant. A curtain of vegetation clothes the doors in arches of green. A stoned alley leads you to the door, guarded by green grass and bushes esthetically arranged, in an evident opposition to the rest of the garden.
The white flowers enlighten the entrance of the house. The rest of the garden keeps a shadow of savagery, with wild flowers dispelling colors and smells, enjoying the eyes and senses. Though surrounded by other buildings, the house keeps privacy grace to the garden. Green alleys especially and artificially created for aesthetics wriggle among savage vegetation, creating a contrast between civilization and wildness.
From every corner you look the privacy is assured, but in different manners; you may choose your favorite corner to spend your relaxing hours, according to your soul disposition. You may stay in the sun, on the terrace, admiring roses and the beautiful aesthetic greenery, or you may go deep in the garden, discovering wild spots and landscapes, surrounded by lilacs, looking to the lake and reflecting your state of mind within its waters.
If you chose to relax by the fireplace, enjoying the atmosphere of a barbecue, at the fir tree shadow, the result is the same, this garden being a combination between different styles and tastes. It looks like a huge botanical garden, gathering together many species of trees and flowers into an attempt of offering relaxation and fulfilling all the needs of its family members and of their guests, too.
