Опис

The choice of architectural planning, selection of plants, small architectural
forms, materials, decor and other elements of landscaping has a certain dependence on the region
of the site, landscaping which is designed. Therefore, identifying certain features of the design of
gardens in a particular region can be useful for landscape designers who will work in a given
geographical location. The article is devoted to the analysis of design solutions developed for the
design of 5 cottage gardens on the right bank of Zaporozhye. The study was conducted using the
method of comparative analysis of master plans for landscaping and landscaping of selected
cottages.
It is established that all surveyed areas have a flat relief, which eliminates the need for
vertical planning. Regularity prevails in the architectural planning of gardens. The planning of
the surveyed estates has two directions – decorative and decorative-utilitarian. Features of the
decorative direction are the variety of ornamental vegetation, the presence of ponds, exquisite
flower beds, the use of various garden equipment and decor. For gardens of decorative and
utilitarian orientation is characterized by the presence of farm buildings, gardens, fruit and berry
plantations, which are formed taking into account the decorative and nutritional qualities. The
common features of all surveyed cottage gardens can be considered the emphasized design style,
restraint and conciseness in planning and economy due to the successful selection of
unpretentious plants and equipment. Landscape designers of the region can be asked at the first
stage of planning to do functional zoning of the garden; the range of vegetation to select from
local species and well-adapted exotics of small size; from flower beds to choose the easiest to
create and care for; reservoirs, vertical and container landscaping are limited.
