Garden design derives from the location in the landscape. It is situated in Slovenian rural area, in the open landscape, next to the forest. The site is mostly shady and wet, because of the nearby creek. Planting concept is, due to the location in open landscape, designed with regards to the existing landscape context. It is designed in a more organic, natural manner in order to persist harmonious relation between the garden and the landscape. Location of the plants is also determined in a way, which persists open views. On the other hand, positioning of plants also respects the need for privacy.

The most important criteria for the selection of plants was size of the plants. It is followed by the shape of the plant and texture. Plants with mostly natural habitus and texture were selected as a response to the existing indigenous vegetation in the vicinity. In order to create smooth transition between garden and forest, plants with less intense colour accents where chosen. Planting assortment is based on flowering shrubs, magnolias, ferns, ornamental grasses and other indigenous perennials, found in the local forest edge. Selected plants require minimum maintenance. |
