In the next step of garden design we must evaluate the areas of shade and light, drawing them on the plan. This evaluation is essential to choose the right plants and correctly allocate outdoor activities, such as sunbathing or reading. The exposure also affects irrigation and the type of lawn.
EVALUATE THE SHADOW AND LIGHT AREAS
Good morning and welcome to the first episode of the “BUILD YOUR GARDEN” course.
This section will deal with organizational and design-related issues related to greenery. In fact, on the internet you can find a lot of practical advice – very useful – but little on the organization and design of work and outdoor space and we will try to fill this gap.
In this third episode we will talk about how to evaluate the areas of shade and light.
In the last video we talked about what to do in the garden.
The next step is to evaluate the shaded and light areas.
Let’s take the plan of our garden and draw the sun’s path. This way we will know which parts are to the north and which to the south. In fact, certain plants do not go to the north, and for others, it is too hot to go to the south. Furthermore, what we want to do also depends on whether or not there is sun. In fact, you cannot sunbathe in a shaded area or read in the sun. There will be parts of the garden that receive half a day of sun and half a day of shade.
The choice of plants also depends on these evaluations. For areas that are always in the shade, there is a shade lawn and the shaded areas will also need to be watered less.
Now on horseback! Work awaits us! Our new wonderful outdoor space is about to be born!
GOOD WORK and… if you have any questions, write to info@mondodelgiardino.com
