Tiny Garden Is Filled: Every space in this tiny garden is filled with a mass of colorful, fragrant flowers and foliage. An atmosphere of scent and beauty pervades, particularly in summer when everything is at its best. A curved wooden bench (apparent only when you are in the garden) allows you to sit among all the flowers. A trellised Wall is covered with climbers; and diverse pots, planters, and high-standing jardinieres all enhance the visual effect. The white background shows up the plants to great advantage, and also makes the area seem a lot larger and brighter than it really is.
With their plant sizes running the gamut from tiny to huge, they belong in every garden and if you have the room, they make an impressive garden all their own.
Included in this garden are a few plants that are usually thought of as grasses but really belong to closely allied but more primitive families: The sedges and the rushes.See Also Winter A Garden Falls:To add to winter color, there is a great variety of textures and colors to choose from including: the glossy spiny leaves of holly, the soft gold of some variegated yews, or the blue of spruce needles. The interest supplied by colored bark is also invaluable. Stooled dogwoods offer scarlet, purple and yellow bark; while that of willows is orange, gray or glossy brown. Some species of birch have brilliant white or coppery-pink bark and there are cherries with the glorious, dramatic bark of purest polished mahogany.
In winter a garden falls back on its structure to make itself interesting, and it is then that the most benefit is gained from light and shade and the clarity of the design. With careful plant choice, your garden can continue to be clothed in winterin fact, a really well-designed and thought-out garden will look just as good, though in a different way, as in summer.
The majority of plants usually suggested for the winter garden are happy only when temperatures stay above 0°F. I have chosen hardier plants so my plan for a winter garden is for the majority of readers. Like the autumn garden, it is not a specific spot of ground. Rather it consists of small trees, shrubs, and a few plants to be spread about the garden, bringing welcome color to the snow and ice.
On The Other Hand See These Garden Aids:There are also aids provided by other governmental agencies and by non-governmental organŽizations. these garden aids private aids to navigation must be approved by the Coast Guard before they can be established. The Coast Guard uses the acronym "ATON" for both of these garden aids categories. (The term "navigational aid," as opposed to "aids to navigation," is used for such items as books, charts, and instruments.)
Minor aids, such as buoys and daybeacons, are normally idenŽtified by numbers, or occasionally by letters. More important aids have names, but these garden aids are not displayed on the aid. You must learn to recognize each type of aid to navigation and how to use them to make your boating safer and more enjoyable. |
