Do you use plants to disguise problem areas? ...
Yes, plantings are great to cover up unsightly things in the courtyard. You can even turn a bad belief into a good belief with plants.
"A doctor can bury his mistakes. An architect can simply advise his clients to plant vines."
Personally that's not something that I would do,
But if there's a bad patch surrounded by your garden it's a good belief.
Thank you :)
Sure do plus you can hide away structures. Nothing makes a secure line barrier disappear like bird nut gourds or climbing nasturtium, or even clematis and morning glory. I need the wall to keep the deer out of the veg. garden but don't principally like its looks. This year the unbroken fence be loaded with birdseed gourds. I also enjoy about 6 acres of frail overgrown pasture land that I am restoring to home-grown plants a little bit at a time. It is a monumental tast but respectively little garden is a step in the integral picture. I try and pick a spot each year and save it to a minimum planting. This year I put in a highly successful sun garden that is immediately beginning to connect to a towpath of perennials that lead to the woods. I put within the path first over a year or two and in a minute I am putting in abutting and neighbouring gardens. It is great fun and this dismal pasture is looking better each year.
Of course - isn't that what plants are for? ;-)
Seriously - unquestionably there are areas within most lawns where something bar grass will grow best; I think areas of other types of plants contained by a yard add a lot of interest and series, and gives you more space to garden, too! Dry areas could be planted next to succulents or other xeriscape-friendly plants; wet areas could be turned into a bog garden, or even a hose down feature. Just use your imagination, and you'll come up beside all kind of ideas!
Answers: Absolutely! In my own yard, I hold used a variety of plants to conceal areas within my yard and my neighbor's. I specifically planted a unmarked bed 2 years ago to block out a 'junk' pile my neighbor started in his backyard. Much cheaper than a barricade and, if he moves and the pile goes away, I can smoothly relocate the plants and have my picture again.
