Woodland - bringing the forest into the garden
Garden
Do you dream of sitting on a bench in nature and enjoying the small birds and butterflies? Then you can design your own garden with inspiration from beautiful woodlands. Here, green shade plants will create an oasis of colorful flowers and mowing the lawn will be a distant memory.,Woodland is a type of garden where inspiration comes from the wild clearings in the forest. There are no grassy areas or bare soil, but rather paths that naturally form between trees, bushes, and herbaceous perennials that function as ground cover.,The soil is moisture-retentive, slightly acidic, and rich in humus, and the light oscillates between shade and semi-shade. The idea is that a woodland garden should appeal to all of our senses - smell, hearing, sight, and emotions, even taste.
