Garden Design Essentials – Create a Harmonious Outdoor Space

A beautiful garden doesn’t happen by accident – it’s a blend of structure, creativity, and nature. Here’s how to plan your green retreat:

 

1. How to create flower beds (in 5 steps):

  1. Analyze the location – full sun, part shade, or full shade?

  2. Choose the shape – curved, rectangular, layered, or island?

  3. Prepare the soil – loosen, add compost or sand if needed

  4. Plan plant heights – tallest at the back, lowest at the front

  5. Add structure – with borders, natural stone, or small ceramic vases for charm

 

2. Terrace orientation – what direction is best?

  • South-facing: sun all day – great for Mediterranean plants and lounging

  • West-facing: evening sun – ideal for dinners and sunsets

  • East-facing: morning sun – perfect for breakfast outdoors

  • North-facing: cooler and shady – peaceful reading spot with ferns and hostas
    Tip: use Polish pottery vases with shade-tolerant plants (like ivy or ornamental grass) to liven up shaded corners.

 

3. Building a garden pond for fish – basics:

  • Location: at least 4–6 hours of sun, not under trees

  • Size: minimum 3–5 m² for ecological balance

  • Depth: at least 80 cm so fish can survive winter

  • Edge design: use stones, grasses, ceramic accents or vases nearby

  • Plants: lilies, oxygenating underwater plants

  • Fish types: goldfish, minnows, or small pond-safe species

  • Consider a pump and filter for good water quality

 

Styling Tip:

Place a large ceramic garden vase near the pond or patio as a sculptural centerpiece – fill with tall grass, seasonal plants, or let it stand alone for artistic flair.

 

Conclusion:

Outdoor vases made of Polish pottery by Ceramika Artystyczna combine beauty, tradition, and resilience. Whether filled with flowers or used as sculptural decor, they bring structure, color, and personality to any outdoor space – year-round.
