We plan the garden so that you can forget about problems in it, relax and do what brings joy and tranquility.

What zones will allow you to relax in the country? Told in the video

1 Place for yoga and meditation

Yoga classes or meditation will help you relax and distract from the swarm of thoughts in your head after a busy week in a noisy city. Therefore, it is worth allocating a special place in the garden where you can hide from prying eyes and take time for yourself. In order not to be distracted and feel comfortable, choose a practice area with attention to detail.

2 Mini vegetable garden

Urban residents who come to the dacha only for the weekend rarely break the beds, and it is difficult to call working in a full-fledged vegetable garden pacifying. What you need is a small plot of land or even a container with fertile soil where you can grow unpretentious plants. Herbs are best suited: mint, basil, rosemary. A little work with the land, weeding, harvesting and watering will help you feel closer to nature and tune in to rest. You can also grow unpretentious flowers like calendula, which even a novice gardener can handle. Perhaps, over time, this area will turn into a full-fledged vegetable garden or garden. If not, it can always be removed at the end of the season. 

3 Reading corner

After a week spent in the midst of information noise, ordinary reading will best help calm your thoughts. Get yourself a comfortable hammock, a soft blanket or a garden chair, place it in the shade. Complement this relaxed space with a small table for a plate of fruit and a jug of lemonade. Then leave your mobile phone in the house, take a book with you and let yourself be alone with yourself and nature.

4 Dining area for two

Even if you come to the dacha with a large company or with your family, put a small table for two and a couple of chairs in the shade away from the house. Let it be a secret place where you can come as a close friend and sit in silence over a cup of tea, have a heart-to-heart talk. Or, having sent the children to play, arrange a date with a partner, for which there is always not enough time in the city. And for evening gatherings, you can complement this area with a garland or floor lamps. 

5 Place for sunbathing

Replenishing your vitamin D supply and basking in the rays of the sun, taking your time and not thinking about anything, is a good way to reduce stress levels. Arrange a garden area where you can come and sunbathe. To do this, you will need a comfortable chaise longue, since not everyone is comfortable lying on the ground, especially if it is uneven. Be sure to take care of the shade direct sunlight in the afternoon is harmful to health and quickly leads to sunburn. You can also put a swimming pool next to it, a summer shower, or just have the opportunity to rinse with cool water from a hose.
