DESIGN YOUR GARDEN
A beautiful display of flora doesn't necessarily need a lot
of land.
Gardens and
landscaping go back centuries in time. Those like Mughal Gardens, Hanging
Gardens and Lalbagh are a living testimony to the skill and creativity of their
gardeners who were largely uneducated.
Most homes
of yesteryear, i.e. before the invasion of urbanization, possessed some kind of
garden. When you want to forget all your worries and escape from the hustle
bustle of life, a garden is the ideal place to take a siesta, and for the
children to romp in. You could arrange a mouth-watering evening barbecue there
too.
Although
urban people may have been deprived of the benefits of a garden, architects are
now more conscious of the need of greenery and are including gardens in their
designs. Whether on the ground, balcony or terrace, people now consult
landscape architects on gardens instead of the traditional 'mali.' There is
plenty of scope for landscape architects to do their work. In the present day
people are now purchasing weekend homes to rest in and there is inevitably much
land around these houses which can be converted into a garden.

Why not try
your hand at designing your own garden? A beautiful display of flora doesn't
necessarily need a lot of land. You should make a note of those areas which get
more sunlight throughout the day and those that don't. All plants do not
require constant sunshine. You can start planning your garden with a sketch of
the place. A focal point should be determined where you could place a sundial,
a tree, a bird bath, rockery, statue or possibly a gazebo.
For a narrow
plot there should be parallel side boundaries. Geometrical shapes like circles,
hexagon and rectangles could be made for flower beds.
If you
happen to be a novice, try going according to the flow of land rather than
using straight lines. Gardening tools such as a hosepipe, sprinkler etc must be
kept handy. The land can be terraced, cultivated with grass or shrubs or made
into a rockery. If there is a water body present it will add quality to your
landscaping.
For a water
body you should select a spot that receives at least five hours of sunlight in
a day and should not be near overhanging trees. An area of 40sq.ft is best as
ponds smaller than that may accumulate algae. The depth should be 20-24 inches.
You could line it with concrete or obtain pre-fabricated fibre glass pools. At
the same time you can get one made to order. A water tight container, plastic
tubs or drums can also be utilized. You must dig a sufficiently large hole and
pack the soil into gaps tightly between the hole and the wall of the pool.
You may use
an underground plastic tube to conduct water to the pool. The pond area should
be planted with aquatic plants, ornamental plants like water chestnut, water
hyacinth etc whose leaves and flowers grow above the water surface. You could
have side paths leading to the outdoor eating area from there. For an aesthetic
treat, plant some grass in the paths between slabs.
It takes a
lot of time to maintain a perfect lawn. There is a variety of grass available
such as Japanese turf which needs low maintenance as it grows in tufts and
needs no mowing. The land should be well drained and the soil racked 6 inches
deep. Then fertilizer should be mixed in and spread evenly. After this you can
plant the cuttings or seeds. Planted slabs can be obtained from a nursery in
case you want an instant lawn. The flowerbed borders should be raised a little
from the lawn level and a 6 inch channel must be kept in between for the purpose
of drainage.
It is
necessary to plant flowers that are in the flower beds. The beds should be 5-6
feet wide for easy weeding and after deciding the colors, you can sow seeds
directly. You could start them in a nursery or purchase established plants from
there. For curtaining the wall you should have pagodas, bamboo trellis screens
or poles propped against the wall for creepers and climbers. Juniper, ivy,
morning glory, creeper roses, honey suckle, climbing hydrangea, bougainvillea,
gypsophila and jasmine flowers are all good for color, fragrance and decorative
purposes.
You have to
take into account the type of soil in the garden. Alkaline soil is not good for
roses and neither is wind exposure. Fertilizers are needed and also protection
from insects, fungi, aphids, caterpillars and borers. Common diseases are mealy
bug, black spots and rust. The bloom is made ugly by black spot and brown
pustules under the leaf surface come from rust. These will kill the plant in
the end. Pesticide containing copper compounds should be sprayed and malathion
also is safe to use.
