Vous rêvez d’un « mixed-border » de plantes
vivaces !...comme les Anglais.
C’est la bonne saison, elles auront le temps de raciner
et prendre des forces pour fleurir dès le printemps prochain.
Ménagez une allée centrale de 1m50 pour un couple marchant cote à cote….
De par et d’autre, plantez sur 3m de large vos arbustes
et vivaces, enfin, réservez une allée extérieure de 70cm pour l’entretien, par
derrière, vous pouvez planter des haies pour créer un micro climat et donner de
l’intimité à la scène.
Petit truc pour réussir…
Un jardin à vivre se lit en marchant, en se promenant, il
a alors du rythme. Sinon, il est statique et ne convient qu’aux contemplatifs,
il devient un poster.
Pour cela, à chaque série de plantes que je vais décrire,
il faut repartir du départ du cheminement et disposer les plantes en marchant,
une fois à droite, une fois à gauche…
Vous retrouverez ensuite ce rythme au cours de vos
promenades futures.
C’est si facile de faire vivre un jardin…
A bientôt.

Are you dreaming of a mixed border with flowering plants like the English? It's the right season to plant now. The roots will have time to settle and gain force to flower at its best next spring. Create a path in the middle of your borders of 1,50m wide to enable a couple to walk side by side. And on both sides you plant over a length of 3m your scrubs + plants. To make the up keep easy create a path at the back side of the 2 borders of 70cm. If you wish you can plant a hedge at the back of the small path, creating a micro climate and create an intimate atmosphere.
To live in a garden one senses when walking through it. There for a rhythm is important, otherwise it's static and it become one dimensional like a poster on a wall!
This is why when ever you are going to plant you have put your plants why you walk. On the path in the middle of the border you put one on the right one on the left. This will give you the rhythm for your future walks. It's quite easy to make a garden alive!
