Ideas for a romantic garden

The romantic garden is not really considered a garden style of its own, because it is subjective. For example, for me, such a garden is one in which there is not much intervention in the terrain, in which there are large trees, and in which color, natural forms and smell predominate. But nevertheless, for you the French garden may be romantic, in which everything occupies a predetermined place, and in which plants are given very characteristic shapes.

But if there is one thing that we may all agree on, it is that privacy is sought in a romantic garden, either to share it with our partner, or as a family if we want to celebrate our wedding in it. So that, let's see how we can get one.

Intimate space with large trees

It may be the number of drama films that I have seen throughout my life, but I cannot conceive of a romantic garden without a space in which there is a cozy space, with tall trees, such as horse chestnut or ash, a wooden bench, bushes such as rose bushes, camellias or hydrangeas full of flowers ... Does the same thing happen to you? Then do not hesitate: create your own intimate space.

For that, you have to choose species that adapt to your climate and garden conditions, and plant them leaving a sufficient distance between them so that they can grow in conditions. For example, if you want to put a tree that branches a few meters from the ground and whose branches once adult will reach 2 meters long, if you want to put a tall plant next to it you will have to do it about 2,5 or 3 meters from it. , As minimum.

Shrub and flower beds

A massif is a group of plants, generally perennial or perennial, that form a harmonious structure. It can be geometric, pruning at the same height, or staggered. If you like more that there is some control and order, I recommend that you look for plants that resist pruning well, such as boxwood, rose bushes, the eponymous, laurel or durillo. Now, if you prefer a low-maintenance massif, I recommend more opting for plants such as bird of paradise flower, yuccas, elephant foot, hibiscus.

In addition, can you play with the colors a bit. Thus, if all the plants are green and you want to give it some color, whenever conditions allow it, it may be interesting to plant a red Japanese maple for example, or variegated leaf plants, like many coleos or hostas. But be careful: always remember that the largest plants have to be left behind, so that the smaller ones grow without problems.

That banks are not lacking

Are we talking about banks? Okay, if you want a comfortable seat, a bench is undoubtedly the safest option. They are made of wood, iron, and even plastic. The latter is the most economical, and it can also last for many years outdoors as it resists rain, and if it is of good quality also ultraviolet radiation.

The iron bench is pretty, rustic, and yes, romantic too. You put a few cushions on it and you have it ready. But you have to remember to give it a certain maintenance every few years, which basically consists of giving it a coat of paint. And the wood is interesting, natural, but it is important that it is treated to resist moisture.

Table and chairs set

In any romantic garden worth its salt there has to be a table and chairs. As with benches, they are made of different materials. Depending on the climate, whether they are always going to be kept outside, and the budget, you will have to choose the most appropriate one. For example, if you are going to always have them in the garden, it will be interesting to buy them made of resistant plastic, treated wood, or rattan; On the other hand, if you are going to store them in winter, then you can choose the one you like the most, since even if it rains occasionally in spring for example, you would only have to protect them with plastic.

To give it the romantic touch, it is advisable to have flowers. A vase with preserved flowers on the table, a few planters with azaleas or rose bushes, or even some pictures of flowers. Choose those that are bright and / or light colors, such as red, pink or orange.

Romantic light for a dream garden

Lighting in a romantic garden is highly recommended, especially when you want to enjoy when the night comes. Thus, you can put from the classic streetlights, to solar lights, or lamps that work with batteries. Even in lattices or similar areas it is interesting to put a string of lights.

In this way, it will be possible to create a space in which, now, nothing will be lacking: lights, flowers, a bench or chairs to sit on, and plants, which are what really make up the garden.
