Walk along paths through the garden

"The journey is the destination," goes a well-known saying. This is especially true for the garden. Paths don't just lead us somewhere—they also structure the garden and emphasize individual situations.

Front gardens – the first impression counts

A beautifully designed front yard is like a calling card for your home and garden. It reveals a lot about the preferences of the residents: Some have a romantic flair, others prefer variety, others prefer low-maintenance gardens, and yet others want a representative garden. This is usually a relatively small area between the house and the street, easily visible to everyone. The front yard, therefore, determines the first impression visitors get of a home.

Design with native perennials

They bloom along roadsides, in meadows, and on embankments. Native perennials not only beautify our landscape; many species and their selections are also quite rightly finding their way into our gardens. "They bring a piece of nature into the garden," says Uta Kietsch. The horticultural technician knows and cultivates many wild plants. In addition to their beautiful flowers and structures, they are above all a food source for many animals and very popular with bees, butterflies, beetles, hoverflies, and many other insects. These insects often specialize in native plants, where they find nectar and pollen. This creates a magnificent natural experience in the garden. "Another advantage of native plants is their adaptation to our climate," says Kietsch. They are generally very easy to care for and often easier to integrate into the garden than species native to Asia or other continents.

Iris – die Blume des Regenbogens

Iris – the flower of the rainbow

They can be unpretentious and pure or wrapped in opulent ruffles, enchanting as miniatures in pots or captivating as magnificent perennials in the flowerbed: Irises are so diverse that they would easily defend their title as the favorite plant of many garden enthusiasts, even in black and white. This love is all the more understandable given the incredible variety of colors offered by the 2016 Perennial of the Year.

Cottage gardens

With the renewed desire for the countryside, cottage gardens are becoming increasingly popular here. They exert a special appeal due to their plant diversity and their blend of elegance and untamed wildness. These cozy green oases have a dreamy, nostalgic quality, and one associates them with older English ladies like Miss Marple, who would trim their roses there. Indeed, it was the garden-loving English who elevated the simple farmer's garden to the cottage garden: The rustic country house style developed in the 19th century by the architect John Nash quickly became popular on the island, as did the corresponding garden type.

Silver tones in the garden

They are the color all-rounders among perennials – plants with silvery leaves or flowers. They adapt to other plants, mediate, connect, and blend harmoniously into a planting. In both architecture and gardens, a certain trend toward simplicity, reduced material choices, and the colors gray and white can be observed. Perennials with their silvery shades can be used appropriately in these settings. We interviewed perennial gardener André Stade about which plants are particularly recommended and what you should keep in mind.
