Labyrinths in the context of landscape design - a phenomenon for the Russian reality is quite unusual and nontrivial. However, in the countries of the East they are used not just long ago, but for several hundred years. By and large, the garden labyrinth implies a design created with the help of floridly conceived paths, originally planted plants or other fragments of garden decoration. In this publication, "House of Dreams" will tell you about the creation of such labyrinths on the site.

Garden labyrinth for children and adults
It should be noted immediately that in a compact area in its parameters, such a system can not be built up. If the suburban area is wide and spacious, you can perform one of the many versions of the garden maze.
Flower version is one of the most popular and most frequently performed systems of garden labyrinths. Its relevance and popularity is explained quite simply. It successfully and organically fits into almost all landscape styles. In this case, planting material is available and the cost is quite acceptable. In addition, in specialized stores and markets, you can always find the most unusual varieties of flowers, which are interesting and original to beat the design as a whole. That is not less important, when erecting a flower labyrinth on the site, it is easy to select the desired level of the height of the structure.
At the same time, correctly combining the varieties of flowers, many caring parents often create a special maze for their children. After all, this design has long been recognized by teachers as one of the incredibly effective ways of developing babies. For children, it is optimal to create labyrinths, the basis of which were plants in height to 0.5-1 meters. The diameter of the entire structure as a whole should not exceed 2 meters. This will allow children to err on the site with the benefit of health and mind.

Selection of material and design for landscape labyrinths
As for the choice of plants themselves, their spectrum is incredibly wide. Even standard marigolds can become the basis of such garden decor. Among other options are allocated not only shrubs, but also flowers. Alpine currant, sparse spiraea, boxwood, cupped St. John's wort - an impeccable basis for a small maze on its own country site.
If the adult owners come to mind to solve the mysterious rebuses of plants, then the choice of the best option will have to work. The base for the construction in this case should be low trees, which can reach a maximum height of 3 m.
Hornbeam, Tatar maple, dog rose, yew, mahonia, barberry Tunberga are quite suitable for the implementation of these ideas in reality. In addition, you can use as a basis for such an original decor boxwood, Irgu, hawthorn, medium forcing. At the same time it is worth trying when selecting combinations of plants among themselves. They should not only harmoniously blend, but also if possible make the garden maze flowering throughout the season.

Also it is impossible not to mention the shape of the structure. Traditionally garden labyrinths make rounded parameters, but even more often there are square versions. Nonstandard buildings look like cartoon characters, but such versions are optimal only in the context of children's designs. Non-trivial labyrinths in the form of initials of the owners of a suburban area or a spiral. Often in the center of such a structure have an arbor, which masterly hides from extraneous views, noise and dust. And if in the middle of the maze there is a garden fountain, then the envy of neighbors and simple onlookers will not be the limit.
