Instructions
1
Plan the location of the trails in the futuregarden. Draw them on the site plan. Note that straight lines visually shorten the distance, thereby further emphasizing a small garden area. Make the paths that surround the flower beds, rounded or zigzagged. This technique will only provide partial visibility of the garden objects, as a result, it will seem that the garden continues.
2
If you like clear straight lines, doseveral tracks of different widths. And the longest gradually narrow. This technique will give the impression that the path is much longer than it actually is.

Another way to make the path visually longer is to plant larger plants in its beginning, and at the end - smaller ones.
4
Install a mirror against the wall of the house opposite the path. It is known that they optically expand the space. Reflected in them the plants will create the impression of depth, thereby visually increasing the space.
5
Describe the walls of the house, barn, garageimages-blende. For example, draw an open door, beyond which the garden continues. Next to the image plant the plants and lay the tracks, which will greatly enhance the effect of the blende.

If you place the flower beds on the lower level, and the rest zone is on the upper level, then when you are on the second level, the flower garden and the garden will appear in front of you close up. But when you go down, the vision will stop only on individual elements or compositions, for example, a lush bush of a peony or a rose.
