Landscape Design 

 Create your own magic!         

          -   An article by M.lathika  


Landscape design is an independent profession and a design and art tradition, practiced by landscape designers, combining nature and culture. In contemporary practice, landscape design bridges the space between landscape architecture and garden design.

Goals

A comprehensive, sustainable landscape design typically addresses a series of goals: 

  1. protecting the site and surrounding land and ecosystems — soil, water, and wildlife; reducing water use.

  2.  limiting pesticide use.

  3. using plants and materials from local sources; 

  4. minimizing mowing requirements.

  5. ensuring the health.


Concept

Ministry of Environment and Forest is the nodal agency for promotion, planning ,coordination  and overseeing the implementation of country's overall environmental and forest policy.


Ideas to create an enchanting outdoor space

1.Driveable garden   


No front yard, no problem beautify your driveway instead as below:


2.Miniwater features 


Even a small patio can fit a water feature which can bring that calming sound and energy. Who knows, maybe if someone sat on this cute terrace and focused on the calming trickling water, they could manifest a full-sized soaking tub.


3.Mid- garden dining area

Dinner with the  nature


4.Conversation pit


Now this is how you style an outdoor fire pit.The surrounding butterfly chairs introduce a  vibe, which is further accentuated by the tall palm trees and dreamy pampas grass.


5.Tree lanterns


Show your trees some love and dress up the backyard by hanging lanterns in the branches. This will set the mood for a truly magical outdoor living space.


6.Potted citrus


Don't have room for an entire orchard? Add ambiance to an outdoor dining area with a group of topiaries like below:


7.Plant beds


In a small or narrow city yard, introduce greenery with a pathway surrounded by planting beds. Then use your vertical space by bringing in slim and tall trees. A neat path like this one keeps our eyes focused on the architectural details of the home ahead.


 My vision

  A landscape design can  mould nature into variable forms according to our convenience. 


A landscape design is rather than  creating your own world…..

Landscape design for beginners article by Rupa kumari

Planning and designing of your outdoor Space start your plan: Draw a bird's-eye view of your property, noting the placement of all the man-made features (called hardscape) such as buildings, fences, driveways, stonewalls, etc. Boulders, trees, and large shrubs combine with your hardscape to form the "bones" of your landscape. Using graph paper helps, but you don't have to agonize over exact measurements, a sketch that is roughly in proportion will be fine. Make sure to include the location of your well, septic system, or any buried utility lines. Orient your lot on the compass and note where your sunny and shady spots are. Make a wishlist: Once you know what you've already got, you can move on to making a list of what you'd like to have. How do you want your garden to look? Start with a few general goals. For example: Do you want privacy for a patio area? Do you want to screen an ugly view? Is your top priority curb appeal/resale-value
