The sources for garden were designed to give a touch of originality, style and elegance in the large parks of European palaces, but now you can have one in the garden of a house with some sort of circuit or water play. There are many models and designs to choose when to install a fountain in a garden. The most common model is that of a small pool with a nozzle on it and a matching which not only allows the passage of water but also the sound and the corresponding wiring. Another possibility is to place a model that serves as a fountain for birds whose general structure is composed of a small pool supported by a foot in some cases may have movement.

The most original sources for garden construction and require a more complex installation. An important factor is the water route that usually aims to simulate a stream whose sound is very natural and this model can be complemented by a still pool which can be artificial or natural. Another option that has this kind of source model is the installation of a drop step cascade that generates a constant sound of falling water. The sources play a unique garden decoration work and therefore are often pieces of clay, cement stone selected and produced. This style is notable for its carved details on base plates and generally tend to have worked sculptures that can sometimes reach up to two meters. Something important and critical to consider when installing a garden fountain is that the size is proportional to the garden, meaning that if the garden is medium, the source must be consistent with it.

Fountains-garden-case models have a very large like a park you can put a large bowl with a sculpture mounted on top, or several smaller sources properly distributed in space. It is not at all advisable to install a garden fountain if it is to have aquatic plants or fish because the constant motion of water prevents their life. Nor is recommended that the source is located under a tree, not only because it lost the appreciation of the construction, but it also causes the falling of leaves, flowers and weeds constantly dirty water, besides a big risk is that tree roots can destroy the building.

Another factor to consider is that the source for garden should not be installed in a place where high wind run and it produces more evaporation of water and running water may be diverted. The ponds in gardens are also popular sources unlike the garden are much easier to install or build. Usually people choose to buy prefabricated plastic ponds that are easily purchased at any gardening business, the problem with this type of pond is that many times the size or shape to fit the needs of the garden.

One of the great things about summer is that we can expand our living space without enlarging the house or make a costly renovation. In many cases not even have to decorate too. Simply clean the porch or terrace and Drop in a comfy chair. Others may want to make a room outside on the terrace or garden and can be done at minimum cost.

A comfortable outdoor furniture enhances any room outside, but need not be expensive. Two chairs and a table with four dining chairs will really comfortable our space.

Many products are available in a wide range of prices and come ready to assemble. A plastic furniture, very cheap, will last a few years and is easy to assemble and clean. And we can always make them look a little more stylish by adding cushions. We can also make a modest investment and buy pieces of cast aluminum or wrought iron, which last longer. Any of them should be kept inside during winter to last longer, but are made to stand outside in the summer months.

Other types of furniture more robust as those made of teak, redwood and eucalyptus (cheaper) will provide more years of service if properly maintained. You may need to give them a coat of varnish every summer, but otherwise do not require too much maintenance. All wood furniture, interior needs some place for storage during winter, it is important to bear this in mind before buying.

The wicker furniture is also very well outdoors, giving a classic touch, but does not get along with the elements. Must be protected from rain cushions wicker deteriorates the sun’s heat and humidity are not taken proper care. Of course, this is not a problem if our outdoor area is covered.

A table top with glass or porcelain will endure well all season. Cover it with an umbrella for protection from sun, we can find an umbrella that does not lose color. Some newer models have umbrella LED lights powered by solar energy that hung inside. These lights provide a fantastic light up to 8 hours after dark and are easy to maintain.

Finally, to enhance an outdoor space, flowers and plants are a necessity. We may put the classic terracotta pots to create a border around the space. Currently, new materials are being used to make pots lighter and easier to move. Each year, the shops are full of lots of models for outdoor solar lights, even if they live in a very hot area, most areas receive enough sunlight in summer and for these lights to work at night.

The rose gardens are specialized gardens, which as its name implies, they exhibit only species and varieties of the genus Rosa. His love of this genre is because it carries should be the most beautiful flower, or at least most of the people are. We can find rose gardens display in countless public and private gardens in backyards, gardens, and there are also  small gardens with just a flower, an organization of competitions each year where it exhibits new varieties, hybrids, and area growers compete , the country or even events are held internationally.

There are also conservation rose gardens, botanical gardens, where old species or preserving wild. Since the dawn of civilization the genus Rosa has been valued for its fragrance, its beauty, and cosmetic uses. Recall that since the time of Cleopatra women embellished with products such as perfumes or natural clays. Besides this, the mystical and mythical symbolism that gave the old people is very important: the major civilizations of the West, as were the Romans and Greeks associated this beautiful flower of love to the goddesses Venus and Aphrodite, in even the doubts arose early Christians to use or not, since its association with pagan rites was important, but identified the five wounds of Christ with the five petals of the wild rose, but later also used red roses to symbolize the blood of the saints, and roses generally associated with the Virgin Mary.

As you can see, the weakness of this flower may be more important than religious ideas. The rose began to be cultivated in Europe in the nineteenth century, and this is where modern varieties arise roses, and they begin to be more popular and create the most beautiful rose gardens. For cultivation, we can then differentiate the old and modern roses. The old roses are stronger, have fewer pests, and were popular in Europe until they started new varieties brought from China and East in general, but the first hybrid tea rose from (in 1867) by Jean – Baptiste Guillot which became more popular to this genre marking the beginning of modernity.These roses are the most common in gardens and flower shop today, and its advantage is that it consisted of a hybridization of Chinese perpetual flowering roses, with other varieties of higher force of Europe itself. In all this time that has elapsed since the first hybridization, there are more than 30,000 varieties worldwide, and more appear each year. We can then classify them into wild roses (which are those that grow in nature), grown old roses (not hybridized, prior to 1867) and grown roses modern (post 1867). There are other types of roses according to their growth.

For creating gardens of roses, we must first see the space to use, then what we would like to place. Beyond that many species and varieties are widespread and others are typical of any area, roses have a great capacity for tolerance of different varieties of soil, then it will not be a factor that affects the choice of the Rose . But, as is a plant that should be in the sun, must have good irrigation.

Roses are typically used to form monospecific and bodies or groups of one color, or even bedding stuck to walls. Widely used hybrid tea and floribunda polyanthas, but if you want to make more compact masses for small areas, are very useful miniature roses. Of course, also be combined with other shrubs; for this are better old roses, which have larger and more vigorous (especially the European varieties). Another habit that can be found in roses, and that is very useful for the rose gardens, is the climbing habit. It appears among the varieties and gnarled vines, but the second is less vigorous and reaches a smaller size.

We can cover with this beautiful floor arches, walls, columns, statues, arbors, garden kiosks, and all that comes to mind (abuse is never good), always putting on smooth surfaces some support for growth. Another way to present this shrub in our gardens of roses is forming hedges with him. Again we find a great variety of species including old roses like Rosa hugonis, Rosa rubiginosa, Rosa rugosa. Another habit of this kind is to be a ground cover shrub not reaching more than 40 cm tall, climbing and even some varieties are good for this role. Rosa is not only a shrub, but can also grow as a tree, which is notable for its rounded crown, and may be gaudy in a big garden. It is important to note that Rosa varieties usually have thorns, and that if we conditionning the garden of our house, we should place any restrictions so that children do not hurt them.

When we designed the garden we must keep in mind that garden flowers are the stars of the play, and all the other elements that we place are minor players. Thus, with few resources, can create beautiful gardens because the flowers are not as expensive as are the statues, fountains, etc.., Well-placed they may be more colorful than this. We can grow the flowers with one or two goals. The first and foremost, always garden decoration, with hindsight can be used flowers as cut flowers for bouquets and floral decorations. Furthermore, although not as often, you can use flowers for food and cosmetics, but in these cases it is preferable to grow in winter gardens or orchards.

For garden flowers or decorative result we must take into account several important issues when selecting varieties that are appropriate to what we read in size, shape, time of flowering, fragrance, and, most important and striking , color. Always consider these data for selection of pots and sites where you place the flowers, plus also for the organization of the garden. fTerms of size, larger flowers are usually in smaller numbers in the plants, so they should pick colors that highlight the brownish green of the leaves, place them in addition to larger beds as monocultures. In turn, the small flowers appear in a more seamless provision, and also can be placed or inserted as monocultures and assemble arrays of colors that can be seen from higher ground.

On the way, not all garden flowers have a rounded shape, but there are others such as Bird Flower, large, special form, which can not be placed to form dense thickets filled with flowers, but with a few highlights the place and will always attract attention.

Decorate a garden requires a thorough pre-planning for best results, though hardly be right first. That is why we find furniture and accessories practical and inexpensive option is the best time to shape a space that will be constantly under construction. You’ll have to fight against insects, rain and temperatures unsuitable. In this case nature is the boss.

Harmony is the main concept that never should disappear when decorating a garden. This is important to choose appropriate flowers and plants to be grown. Not only the species to be found congenial among them, also must think about the weather.

If  the garden is located in a cold location, the cherry blossoms, narcissus, ivy or heather endure even frost. With some care, sage or rosemary survive cold weather.

For high temperatures, the roses or the versatile nature of the orchid makes them particularly resistant to heat. In the case of lavender is just the warm weather that favors your perfume aromatice place. The begonia, although a warm-weather flowers, needs shade to be cultivated optimally, like the carnation.

The scented geraniums have the added bonus of repelling insects, such as thyme or sage itself made on the aphid.
