Careful Planning Needed in Design Of Flower Garden
Corvallis - Bcaulv i n home
landscape design is achieved
with careful planning and
thoughtful selection and place
ment of plants, according to
George Frcdoen, Oregon State
college landscape architec
ture professor.
By applying a few basic:
principles of landscape design,
anyone" can have an attractive
ly landscaped yard, Fredeen
said. He has been conducting
a series of home landscape
clinics this winter and spring
In various Oregon cities.
How trees are arranged on
the property Is a part of the
design, he noted. A row of
small flowering trees along
a driveway, a three - tree
grouping in a semi-circle In
the backyard, or a selected
tree with Interesting growth
habits are all examples of
making trees part of the de
sign. v
Plants are more easily rec
ognized in design. A planting
of the same small , shrubs
across the front of the house,
terminating in larger shrubs
and a small tree is a simple
illustration of design using
plants.
The way the gardens are
laid out through design helps
establish a feeling about the
yard, according to Fredeen. A
border with undulating curv
es gives a restful appearance,
while sharp angular lines
create a busy, restless design.
Fence materials should be
selected with the design in
mind, he added. Coarse, rough
boards are better used in
larger areas where they form
a background for plants.
Lighter, smaller boards and
materials such as. lath, slats,
plastic and wire are best used
for screening nearer the
viewer. v
A square patio behind the
house is uninteresting and us
ually hard to work into a
good landscape. With only a
slight change in the design,
the patio can become the
main attraction in the yard.
An example would be a slight
angle with a walk attached for
circulation into the yard.
Color Creoles Warmth
Color can be used In de
sign to create warmth - reds
and yellows - or coolness -greens
and blues. Warm colors
appear closer to the viewer
and cool colors appear farther
away. Blooming plants, there
fore, are part of the design
through arrangement In the
yard and the color of the
bloom.
Design Is accomplished too
by the coarseness or fineness
of the texture of the plant
leaves. The finer the leaf -such
as Juniper or heather -the
farther away the plant
appears.
Leaves of laurel, rhododen
dron or camellia appear much
closer because the leaves are
readily identifiable by shape
and size. When these plants
are used near a doorway, they
often appear too heavy or
dense, the landscape expert
pointed out.
Determined Through Design
Above all, the scale of the
garden is determined through
design. The patio should be
large enough for groups, but
small enough for a few peo
ple to be comfortable while
sitting or eating.
Plant sizes should be chosen
to coincide with the size of
the garden In which they are
to be placed. Several small
trees are usually much better
than one large tree.
"As long as gardens are to
be used by people, the gar-
THINGS THAT POP UP
Waslungton-lUPD-The maker
of the soft drink "Seven Up"
successfully fought off at
tempts by Its competitors to
call their products "Que-Up,"
"Mor Up," Jump Up" and
"Way Up" In 1959, according
to records of the U.S. Patent
Office. But it failed in its chal
lenges to "Uptown," "Bottoms
Up" and "Get Up."
Fairbanks - The Alaska
highway stretches out south
ward of this Alaska city
through the Yukon Territory
and Canada, 1,523 miles to
Dnwson Creek. B.C.
dens should be designed with
people in m 1 n d," he concluded.
