The configuration of plants in landscape design

Plants in the garden design configuration

In the garden landscape design, through different types, height, texture of plants in different configurations combined with the terrain design, the space for a certain enclosure and division, to create a specific landscape or a special environmental atmosphere, to give people a different psychological feeling. Below I have organized the plants in the garden design configuration techniques, I hope to help you!

First, according to the different enclosure of plants, the plant space created is mainly divided into open space, semi-open space, covered space, vertical space and closed space.

1, open space

The creation of open space is mainly the use of low shrubs and ground cover as a limiting factor in space, people in which the line of sight is open and not blocked, the mood is more comfortable. This kind of outwardly open space belongs to the friendly collective activity places, do not need privacy. This type of space is mostly used for public **** activity space, such as park lawn, riverside grass slope.

2, semi-open space

Semi-open space and open space compared to open space, the line of sight on one side of the open side of the obstruction, the direction of the strong directionality, baffle the effect of the landscape, giving a certain sense of spatial domain, such space in the public **** green space in the popularity and utilization are higher. Closed surface plant configuration should be used "Joe, shrubs, ground cover, grass," layered with the way to increase the sense of space enclosure. More for parks, neighborhoods and other semi-open space creation.

3, covered space

Covered space generally refers to the crown of a large shade of large trees or climbing plants covered trellis, arches, etc., constituting the top of the cover, open around the lower part of the activity space. This type of space is cooler, the line of sight through the lower part of the trunk only, the activity space is larger, the shade effect is good. Mostly used for boulevards, planters and other greening.

4, vertical space

The use of plants to close the two sides of the vertical plane, let go of the upper top plane, with a "sandwich" effect of the space is vertical space. This type of space is more sheltered, guidance is also strong, deepening the sense of space plants, creating a solemn, solemn landscape atmosphere. Generally use the branch point lower, compact crown of small and medium-sized trees to form a tree array, or by the neatly trimmed high hedge enclosure. Mostly used for highways, river banks, mausoleum greening.

5, closed space

Closed space refers to the surrounding, the top surface of the plant enclosure, sheltered space, compared with the covered space, its vertical surface with small and medium-sized plants for closure, the sense of enclosure is very strong. This type of space has a strong sense of concealment and isolation, while releasing a large number of negative oxygen ions, fresh air, more built in scenic areas, forest parks, botanical gardens and so on.

Second, plant color matching

In the landscape, color is the direct feeling of people on the landscape, can give a deep impression. Different plant colors create different landscape character, bring people different psychological feelings. Such as the cold color system gives a quiet feeling, the warm color system is much more noisy, giving people a warm and soft feeling, of which the orange color gives people a lively, pleasant, excited feeling. Garden plant configuration should pay attention to color matching, generally from the cold color system, warm color system, complementary color system, contrasting color system to the four aspects of color matching application.

1, cold color system

Cold color system mainly refers to the blue, cyan and adjacent colors, giving people a sense of tranquility and solemnity. In the garden landscape design, for some environmental edges with small space, cold colors or plants inclined to cold colors can be used according to the situation, such as pepper wood, boxwood, holly and other plants, which can increase the depth and visual sense of space.

In the hot summer and higher temperatures in the south, in order to create a peaceful and casual, pleasant to stay in the atmosphere, the plant color is suitable to choose a cool tone, giving people a cool feeling. Plants should be more blue flowers and trees, such as forget-me-nots, fragrant snowballs, eustoma and so on. In summer, when the cold color system is not enough flowers, can be mixed with a large number of white flowers, still has a refreshing effect. Cold color system plant configuration is mainly used in hospitals, neighborhoods, quieter environment and other green spaces.

2, warm colors

In color science, warm colors mainly refer to red, yellow, orange and their intermediate colors, bringing a strong sense of celebration, creating a joyful atmosphere, and bringing people closer to each other. In plant landscaping, the warm, bright colors of warm-colored plants, giving people a feeling of welcome, so that people wandering around, relaxed mood.

Warm-colored plants have the effect of raising the temperature, spring and autumn landscape construction and plant configuration in cold areas, it is appropriate to use warm-colored flowers, such as Fuchsia, azalea, abundant flowers, yellow iris and so on. In the warm color system flowers less in the north, the design of more ginkgo, red maple, purple leaf plum and other plants. Warm color plant configuration is mainly used in the sales office, the main entrance of the district, the main entrance of the club, the main entrance of the hotel, the main entrance of the square, the main entrance of the park, the main entrance of the park, the important landscape nodes and other green spaces.

3, complementary colors

In optics, the two colors of light in the appropriate proportion of the mixture can produce a white feeling, the two colors are called "complementary colors", but also the most contrasting color group. In color, red is complementary to green, blue is complementary to orange, and violet is complementary to yellow. In the two colors complement each other, one color occupies an area much larger than the area of the other color, you can enhance the contrast of the picture, so that the picture can be very conspicuous.

In order to play the maximum artistic effect of the least plants, flowers and flowers decoration, should be more complementary color contrast combinations, the same number of complementary color contrast of flowers than monochrome flowers in the color effect to be much stronger, especially in the gray paved plaza, grey buildings in front of the role of greater. Such as pansies, yellow ` varieties and purple varieties of the contrast, iris varieties and varieties of yellow and purple mixed with the planting. In the light of the bright green grass, light green light deciduous trees in front of the planting of large red flowers or flowers, can also get a sharp contrast. Complementary color system is mainly used in parks, ecological riverside sites such as greening.

4, contrast color system

Two colors can be clearly distinguished, called contrast color. Including hue contrast, brightness contrast, saturation contrast, warm and cold contrast, complementary color contrast, color and fade contrast. Contrast is an important means of constituting an obvious color effect, and an important method of giving colors expressive power. For example, yellow and blue, purple and green, red and cyan, any color and black, white, gray, dark and light colors, cold and warm colors, bright and dark colors are all contrast color relationships. Contrasting color system is mainly used in the flower mountain flower sea and other large sites or more personalized site greening.

Third, plant configuration techniques

According to the ecological habit of plants and garden layout requirements, the reasonable configuration of the garden in a variety of plants (trees, shrubs, ground cover, grass), in order to give full play to their garden functions and ornamental features, called plant configuration. According to the nature of different sites and functional requirements, to take different configuration techniques, to create different styles, beautiful landscapes of the garden. According to the form of planting and the landscape style presented, plant configuration techniques are mainly divided into regular planting, natural planting and mixed planting.

1, rule-based planting

Rule-based gardening, also known as the whole form, geometric, symmetrical garden, plant configuration, mainly using hedges, molded flower beds, shaping trees, shaping lawns and other plant varieties, to take the central axis of symmetry, rows and columns of equidistant planting, the shape of the neat, geometric composition, showing neat, rigorous, solemn and man-made control of the geometric pattern of the United States.

Rule-based planting is mainly used in western landscape style garden design, mainly to level the lawn, flower beds (including molded flower beds), hedges and green walls, street trees, tree array planting to show. Rule-based greening is mainly used in the park axis greening, sidewalk greening, tree array plaza.

2, natural planting

Natural-style garden, also known as landscape, irregular, landscape garden. Compared with the regular style, plant planting is not rows and columns, no fixed spacing between rows and rows, with solitary planting, clump planting, group planting-based, especially ground cover to natural growth, no artificial modeling of the form, to show the natural beauty of the plant community.

Natural planting is mainly used in Chinese landscape style garden design. Traditional Chinese gardens pay attention to step by step, the choice of plants pay attention to the beauty of the posture, color, taste and aroma, to show the beauty of the natural charm of plants. In the landscape layout, there is no obvious axis, with staggered, natural twists and turns to create a tranquil and faraway, winding paths, lively and diverse landscape space. Natural planting is mainly expressed by natural flower border and natural objects grouping. The natural flower border is more often used in parks, streams and other accessible places, and the group of natural objects is more often used in front of the house as a shelter and barrier.

3, mixed planting

Mixed planting both regular and natural, drawing on the rules and the advantages of natural planting of these two forms. Both neat and generous, colorful and bright overall effect, but also colorful, changing natural beauty, showing the artificial beauty of plants and natural beauty.

Mixed planting should be based on the effect of landscape to take the different weight of the regular and natural style, to create a neat and straight, natural and flexible landscape. In modern plant landscaping, mixed planting can be used in a variety of sites, including parks, neighborhoods, hospitals, roads and so on.
