Create your own beautiful Garden

By Super Admin

gardening is getting back to the nature. It gives us a respite from the daily stress and strain. The peaceful green rejuvenates the mind and the body. Time spent in making the garden more beautiful will always make one fresh and ready to face on new challenges.

A lot of people take pride in maintaining a beautiful garden that is attractive as well as houses varied varieties of plants and flowers. Would it not be even better to spend more time in your garden and enjoy it? To make you garden more beautiful and useful, you could arrange it in such a way that it looks like you have taken great pains to maintain it.

The arrangement need not be expensive. Just some simple articles can enhance your garden and earn you the name of being the best gardener.

Some of the ways in which you could beautify your garden are:
Create a tiled marked path that runs through your garden and keep it clean. This is an easier way to make your garden more accessible and clean. If you are ready to invest more money on your garden, then you could buy some really attractive terracotta tiles and lay the path with such tiles. This gives you an added advantage of keeping the path clean and adds an ethnic touch with mud tiles and terracotta tiles being the in-thing now.

Use artifacts like terracotta pots to beautify your garden. You could ear mark few corners of your garden for certain artifacts, like a big earthen pot. Instead of plain pots, you could use nice carved earthen pots that serve as pots and in turn beautify your garden. Such pots are easily available in the market and they come in various sizes. You could use any sizes depending on the space you have. If you have lesser floor space you could just use one big pot at one corner around which you have the tiled path curving. Or you could use small terracotta pots that can be hung from the ceiling.

A big hanging lamp if your garden in indoors could make the atmosphere a romantic one and create a special aura. If your garden is an outdoor one then you could use creative big lamps that do not light up but increase the beauty with their big colourful shades. A tall lamp with a bright deep blue shade can tempt the person to stay in the garden for the whole day.

Small knick-knacks from your home which would usually be considered as waste could be creatively used in the garden. Long pipes, colourful artifacts, bamboo chairs etc could make your garden a charming one.

A simple wrought iron bench would lure all to sit and enjoy your garden. Or a bench made from bamboo or a cut tree trunk could serve as a natural bench and add creativity and ethnic look to your garden.

Bamboo stick could be cut short and made into hanging pots that can be hung from the poles planted in your garden.

Wind chimes that are strong can be used in the garden. They will chime when the winds blow and the peaceful sounds can even lure you to sleep.

Things which one would usually consider a waste can be used constructively to beautify your garden. A garden is a place where you can relax and become one with the nature. After a hectic day, sitting by the plants, with soft wind blowing through your hair, soft lights creating the relaxing mood and colourful flowers lending charm to your garden will bring you immense satisfaction of creating the perfect garden.

A little time and patience can transform your garden from the usual muddy place to a creative haunt that many would always love to visit and relax.
