 To draw the garden
Before launching you in the installation of your garden, draw it on the scale on large sheets by indicating the plants and shrubs to be installed. Color your drawing you to once give an account of the effect visual the arranged garden.
To arrange a small garden
Release the center of the garden and made your plantations in periphery. Avoid splitting space in multiple compartments, privilege the different forms, the soft colors and vary the height of the plantations.
A kitchen garden in a small garden
Your garden is too small to receive a true kitchen garden. Mix some vegetables (salads, cabbages, artichokes, celeries.) in your solid masses the long-lived ones. Plant aromatic herbs in edge.
To flower a step of door
If, you do not have places where to plant in open ground, use flowers stand. Arrange a practical provision not to obstruct circulation, the pots must be accessible easily. Harmonize your plantations with the style of your house: avoid the too regular solid masses of begonias or of oillets of India with a rustic entry, prefer plants with the more flexible paces (gypsophiles, cosmos, lavatères, strapping women). Choose your plants according to the exposure.
To flower a corner of shade
The shade highlights all the colours pastels, choose flowers with the soft colours. Among the shrubs: hydrangea, fuchsia, ivy, althéa… Among the bulbs: bluebell, squill of Siberia, ornithogale, snowdrop, lily, crocosmias, arum. Among annual and bi-annual ones: thought, forget-me-not, impatiens, begonia, lunar. Sow them apart from this remote region, mend your sowings when the feet are sufficiently strong. Among the long-lived ones: primula, astilbe, periwinkle common, violet, court of Marie, hepatic, hellébore, digital. For a garden with the foot of the wall choose a climbing hydrangea rather, a hydrangea with flowers punts or a lobélia vedrariensis. Under the trees prefer the ferns, squills, linaires, ornithogales, bellflowers, némophiles, cyclamens of Naples, pinks of Christmas.
To flower the foot of a tree
It is never convenient to pass the mower to the foot of a tree. Flower it by creating a solid mass. So that the plants are enracinent correctly, to raise the solid mass from 20 to 40 cm by creating a small low wall. Fill the solid mass with a mixture of ground of garden, coarse sand and compost. Plant species adapted to the shade. Maintain the humidity.

To lay out climbing them around the house
Choose the good site for your climbing plants: - in north: common ivy, hydrangea climbing - in the south: Virginia creeper, bignone, glycine, aristoloche - in the east: chèvrefeuille, clématite, jasmine of winter - in the west: actinidia, rose tree, Virginia creeper, kolomikta
To train one climbing
Paint or treat your trellis-work before fixing it. Bore with regular intervals and fix your trellis-work with special fasteners. Dig with the foot of this one and form a hole higher than that of the container. Set up by always leaving a space from 15 to 20 cm between the mound and the wall. Attach each branch with flexible plastic bonds. Sprinkle copiously and frequently, await the autumn to bring manures, train the new branches progressively.
To flower a low wall
The old low walls will take character if you plant some long-lived with spread out vegetation there. Fill the top or the hollows with a mixture of ground of garden, compost and peat. Plant: basket of money, gold basket, aubriète, bellflower, saponin, street, red valerian, ivy.
To install a system of watering in your flowered walls
If you carry out a new wall to install flowers there, think of installing a system of watering. Have with the back of the pockets of ground the wall, small elbows out of PVC to sprinkle, it will be enough for you to fill the elbows and in dry weather, water will not stream any more.
To prepare a ground for a solid mass
You plan to create a solid mass of long-lived with the autumn, prepare the ground as of August. Weed carefully and dig the site chosen, finish by a raking.
To clear up a corner of shade
To benefit as well as possible from the ambient luminosity of the corners of shades, alleys of clear color, you create can also repaint a wall in white.
To plant stakes without glares
To avoid the bursting of the stakes, pose a clamp at the end of the stake. Withdraw it after having inserted the stake. If you do not have clamp, use strong wire, ring it on one or two turns at least.
To put out of gauge
If you must put out of gauge plants, choose to dig your furrow in extreme cases of a well plowed ground and more packed ground. The northern orientation is preferable. Lay down your plants and recover movable ground to protect them from the winds or install them with the foot of a wall.
To adapt an alley to the environment
Adapt the size of the alley to its environment. The principal alley, leading to the house, will have to make 120 to 150 cm broad. An alley in the garden will have a maximum width of 90 cm. Envisage the passage of a wheelbarrow or to a mower, louse that 60 cm broad are enough.
To arrange an alley in the lawn
Start by tracing the be drawing two chalk lines. Withdraw the mounds on a score of centimetres. Spread out 10 cm of gravel and 5 cm of sand, strongly ram the ground and envisage a light slope if the alley is close to the house to avoid the infiltrations. Pose the flagstones of your choice and adjust the level while adding or by withdrawing sand. Insert the flagstones with a rubber mallet by giving small regular blows. Fill the joints with sand with a brush.

 A staircase a wood log
To arrange a staircase quickly, think of the wood logs like contremarche. Preferably choose chestnut, birch, beech or oak. Before pose them, treat them against rotting. Maintain them with stakes treated with the tar of Norway. Flower the edges of contremarche with the small long-lived ones.
To shelter the frames
Place your frame safe from a wall (except if it is directed full north), it will be protected from the wind and the night it will benefit from the calories accumulated by the wall. If you do not have wall, you can install your frame with the foot of a hedge of shrubs with persistent foliage, it will be used as windscreen.
To choose shrubs for a calcareous ground
Plant hawthorn, baguenaudier, berberis, snowball, boxwood, dogwood, broom, genévrier, charcoal, hibiscus, houx, kerria, rhus, seringat, elder tree, symphorine, tamaris, privet.
To envisage the site of the hedges and the trees
Before planting a tree or a hedge, think of envisaging the shade which they will carry at the adulthood because it is not always easy to transplant a tree or a hedge.
To install flagstones around a tree
If you wish to make a terrace in a place where a tree is, take some precautions:
- Leave around the trunk a free circle by taking account of the adult size of the tree to bring water and manure
- If you must divide one or more roots, clean the wound with the billhook and mastiquez immediately, for not do not touch with the levelling roots, install a flower stand around the tree by reserving a more important free space, plant dwarf shrubs or papering plants.
To cover with the alleys of kitchen garden
Recover your alleys of the sawdust kitchen garden on a 10 cm thickness. If you do not have sawdust, you can replace it by barks of pine. You will have under the feet a pleasant carpet.
To reconvert a stock of tree
An old stock of tree, can be development without destroying it. Dig its center well and bore some holes on the sides to support the water run-off. Fill of compost and plant flowers varied and falling down.
To equip a dead tree
A dead tree can serve as pretty support with one or more climbing plants. Remove the branches rotted and badly placed. Prepare the ground while digging and while bringing a good mixture of ground. Install the climbing plant, by rolling up it around the branches. Fix with bonds, sprinkle.
To arrange a slope
It is not easy to pass the mower on the slopes or inclined grounds. Furnish the slope of hardy perennials, small shrubs and plants floor covering.
