A quiet haven for contemplation
As a rule, the main place for family rest is near the house, so personal space is better. organize somewhere in a secluded place, under a tree with massive crowns or near a fence in a distant parts of the garden. There you can hide from the household and spend time in solitude with a good book in your hands or in your dreams.
Before arranging a cozy nest, you need to remove the sod and strengthen the soil. Creating a personal space for one does not take much time - it is enough to cover the required area with gravel. For beauty and convenience, you can build a small rotunda or semi-rotunda made of concrete or natural decorative stone.
The type of paving depends entirely on the overall style of the garden. If the personal plot is decorated in a natural style, then stones or wooden flooring that fit together can act as paths.
It is especially atmospheric to relax surrounded by plants and flowers that emit a pleasant aroma.
In a fragrant cloud
The aromas of some plants have a calming effect: rose, heliotrope, rosemary, sage and lavender. They will help a person to calm down and feel complete relaxation. The quiet murmur of water has a relaxing effect. The creation of a reservoir on the site will complement the interior and allow you to enjoy the sounds of nature. And if you plant ornamental plants or run fish into the water, it will turn into a real miniature pond. To create a small fountain or waterfall, electricity should be supplied to the reservoir.
Fragrant bed
In order to equip a comfortable place for two, it is not necessary to come up with something new. You can decorate the corner in Victorian style. To do this, you need to break up a garden bed and plant it with tall and hardy plants that will fill the space with a pleasant aroma and withstand direct sunlight. Roman chamomile, lemon-scented thyme, or alpine chippings work best. Here you can also set up a bench, chaise longue or hammock, on which you can enjoy the soothing aromatherapy of fresh plants.
For edging the beds, it is worth building a solid frame measuring 50 by 60 centimeters. Its length is calculated depending on the number of seats on the bench. The finished frame is filled with coarse gravel or crushed stone, and from above it is covered with an average layer of sand (10-15 cm) with the addition of fine gravel and soil. Then you can plant the plants. After they take root, you can safely use the bench for its intended purpose: sit and ponder, or just relax and breathe in the aromas of amazing herbs.
