* Summer composition.
A trimmed box hedge ends with a graceful arch, at the bottom of which is a comfortable wooden bench.
It offers a beautiful view of small compositions of a variety of annuals and perennials inscribed in a circle.
They look like multicolored beads from the necklace of a fabulous giant rolling on the green lawn ...
Fragrant phlox lurks on both sides of the bench, and unpretentious, but cheerful and beloved marigolds grow on the flower garden in front of the arch.
The composition is complemented by a blooming weigela surrounded by a boxwood border.
The composition will delight you with its flowering throughout July and August.
