Cottage is a place where, after stress and a frantic pace of the work week, a person finds peace and gets rest, which is necessary to restore his mental and physical strength. The beauty of nature is the best medicine in the conditions of the modern man-made world. But even more pleasure and satisfaction brings the magic of flowers, collected in fancy patterns by their own imagination and work.
No matter how beautiful the dacha is, but without flowers it is pale and sad. Only ornamental plants and flowers add bright colorful strokes to the entire landscape, illuminating it with life and energy even in cloudy weather.
For many centuries, people have created flower gardens and lawns of various sizes, types and forms in their lands. One of these man-made creations, which has received the widest distribution, has become a flower bed.
In the modern sense flowerbed it ceased to be just a small single-level plot of land with a fairly correct configuration of various geometric shapes, with an elevated center for a better view. Now these are various flower gardens for summer cottage, created in a completely unusual environment on the ground, floating on water, vertical, stepped, suspended and mounted on stands, framed by stones and various objects and materials.
But the main thing is that in a properly organized flower bed the plants bloom throughout the warm period.

Types of flower beds
Traditionally, flower growers distinguish the following types flower bedsthat can be created in the country:
- Regular flower beds - perennial with a clear geometric layout of the internal space:
- curbs — узкие полосы (до 0,5 м) декоративных растений, цветов и кустарников с параллельными границами, обрамляющие дорожки, flower beds, газоны, постройки и край партера;
- flower beds - areas of any shape with clear borders with flowers and ornamental plants, rather small in size;
- rabatki - long rectangular stripes (normal ratio - the length of at least four widths) of flower plants planted in several rows, usually along the paths. Their width ranges from half a meter to two meters;
- партеры - viewed entirely from any point on the plot or from the house, a composition of flowers, plants, shrubs and sculptures, fountains for the dacha, flowerpots, gravel sites with a contour of a curb.

With an arbitrary layout, irregular arrangement of plants and fuzzy boundaries: - mixborders - elongated flower beds of continuous flowering of any forms and with a mixed set of various plants;
- rock gardens - stony hills with small rocks, streams and reservoirs covered with wild plants and some types of garden flowers. The most common rockeries - flower beds, located on the stones;
- groups - free compositions of any shape from flowers and ornamental plants on open plain areas.
The flowerbeds are divided into several featured:
- Regular flowerbed. В ней цветущие растения образуют строгий, как правило, симметричный геометрический узор. В каждый конкретный момент всё пространство flower beds заполнено синхронно зацветающими и отцветающими цветами, а границы между растениями подчёркиваются различными способами, вплоть до дополнительных дорожек из песка или гравия. Этот тип flower beds очень красив, но требует трудоёмкого careа и редко используется на дачах;
- Irregular flowerbed создаётся из небольших групп цветов и растений. Здесь может не быть чётких геометрических форм и вид у такого цветника значительно более естественный. Plants для этих клумб подбираются таким образом, чтобы цветение было обеспечено в течение всего теплого сезона. Часто для упрощения careа в такие flower beds высаживают многолетние растения;
- Vertical flowerbed — трудоёмка в создании, но очень необычна, так как в ней используются цветы различной высоты. Часто изготавливают каркасы с контейнерами для landing цветов на разных уровнях, что позволяет формировать как разнообразные фигуры, так и стены или ширмы из цветов;
- Monoclumbaba образуется из цветов одного вида, но разных по сорту, цвету и высоте, хотя наиболее шикарно выглядят моноflower beds одного цвета;
- Carpet flowerbed требует очень сложного careа, так как рисунок создаётся из листьев невысоких растений с ярко окрашенной листвой. В результате возникает орнамент восточного ковра;
- Arabesque - has the form of inscriptions, symbols and figures from flowers and plants.
- Clown-panel - This is a picture of small flowers and plants. Usually depicted some complex shapes, watches, butterflies, dragonflies
etc. This is a synthesis of a sophisticated arabesque and carpet flowerbeds; - Elevated — это flower beds, сделанные в виде ступенек или ярусов, могут быть круговыми и тогда выглядят очень выигрышно на дачном участке.

На каждом уровне шины заполняются грунтом и в отверстия сажаются цветы (обычно стелящиеся). Таким методом создаётся некоторое подобие вертикальной flower beds.
Wheels with discs can be turned into a large enough pot. The top of the tire is cut by the teeth and turned inside out. In this case, the disk and the lower part of the wheel becomes a support for the upper part and it turns out a pot on the stand.
