How to design a modern flowerbed - tips and ideas
Typical for a flowerbed modern style are clear forms and little, but an accentuated planting. You will not find wildly overgrowing perennial beds here, even a natural design is not typical. Instead, the modern garden should primarily serve recreation and therefore be easy to maintain.
Easy-care gravel or stone beds
Flowerbeds of modern style are characteristically covered with gravel or other stones, so that the bed always looked neat and well groomed - weeds here, especially if there is still a weed fleece lined, no chance. In the middle of this stone bed set individual plants, which fall by a special form or color in the eye. A small stream or a water feature also fits perfectly in such an ensemble. However, it is important that gravel and stones are regularly cleaned with the help of a strong jet of water, as they quickly pollute and otherwise look unsightly.
Clever combination of flowering plants and grasses
An absolute must in a modern garden are grasses that are skillfully combined with flowering perennials or semi-shrubs. Even ferns such as the ferns provide a green anchor point. By the way, the flowerbed must not only be reserved for shrubs and shrubs: groups of three small trees planted together, for example sand birch trees with their interestingly colored bark, complement the easy-care bed perfectly - provided, of course, it is big enough. Furthermore, the plants do not have to be planted directly into the soil. Large square or rectangular containers can be planted with exotic-looking flowering plants such as palms, canna lilies or funchios and arranged into harmonic groups.
Screen with planted flower borders
The visual protection in a modern garden, which is less often made with hedges, but rather with the help of fences, walls, gabions, etc., is important. The narrow bedding strip in front of such a boundary is ideal for a selective planting with a few, but meaningful flowering plants and grasses.
Tips
When creating a gravel bed, you do not have to limit yourself to white or gray pebbles.Instead, you buy the stones in different colors and shapes and make the flowerbed like a colorful mosaic.
