Skillfully design a box tree garden

A princely box tree garden

Box trees are very easy to cut into shape. Many a garden designer even conjures up figures from the plant, but mostly it is cut as a hedge or as a round shape. Many stately homes and castles have boxwood gardens that you can use as an example.

• For a princely box tree garden, as found in baroque castles, plant the box trees as a hedge in geometric shapes. Depending on the size of your garden, simple rectangles, squares or more complicated shapes such as rectangles with concave curves at the corners are suitable.
• When the box trees are closed, prune them accurately. If your model is a baroque palace garden, choose a box shape for the hedge.

• You do not plan the free areas, but rather sow different flowers that match each other and that show differences in height as possible.
• If you like it very natural, give the garden the freedom to develop itself. Various wild plants will settle there, giving the garden an atmosphere of nostalgic abandonment.
• You can also bring cosiness to the box tree garden with other garden elements. Large stones, overgrown with moss, antique-looking water basins, from ivy entwined, or old benches in niches turn the garden into a place to linger.
