Lodge Homes - Planning Backyard Gardens

By: Jonathan Woodgrave Home | Finance | Real Estate


Advertisements for lodge homes for sale in residential parks, if you notice, tend to focus on the experience of it all living so close to nature as you will find you do †the early morning birdsong, the long walks holding hands in the early morning stillness, the way you could always find deer looking through your kitchen window and so one. Arguably, a big part of being close to nature is the satisfaction of having your own garden - something it is more and more difficult to find, living in a city. How do lodge homes do in this area then? On a small residential park plot, is it really possible to raise even a modest garden? As it happens, with a little imagination, nothing keeps you from cultivating kitchen greens and ornamental plants right at your back door.

When you have a garden, keeping visitors like the deer or maybe rabbits away from your painstakingly-raised plantings can be a bit of a hassle. However, putting a fence around your plot may not always be the best idea either. Parks have regulations on the matter; you need to consult the written agreement you signed with the park, and also ask the park manager. If you haven't actually narrowed it down to a park of your choice yet, and you are still looking, a good way to go now would be to place this point on your list of things to look for in a lodge home. Ornamental gardens are much easier to keep inquisitive animals out of as you might imagine - compared to, say, kitchen gardens.

Start by planning your garden for the very purpose you have in mind. If entertaining your friends with a little outdoor get-together from time to time, or stretching out in the sun to do a bit of reading is what interests you and the idea for a garden, planning the layout and the planting becomes much easier, using inedible greenery. The rule for a small garden is to find ways to plant richly, without spreading too much. There is nothing that stops you from expanding vertically; get lots of colorful flowering plants, and plant them at different levels so that they don't take up much space. Doing this could even cover up anything unattractive beyond the perimeters of your plot.

If planning your own garden for your kind of space seems like too much work, you could take inspiration from other gardens in your area all the time. Knocking on someone's door to ask for gardening tips is a great way to break the ice, and you'd make good friends flattering people having them know that they have a good enough garden that you wish to copy. It's a pity that lodge homes in residential parks don't generally offer much larger spaces; but there are all kinds of gardening philosophies that allow you to make a small space appear larger. There might be so much you see in all your neighbour's gardens that you want to bring home, that you could risk cluttering things up with too much done in a small space. A good way to go about planning a garden would be to plan a central space in your garden that everything should seem to radiate out from. With just a little constant care put in every day, your lodge's garden could be the best thing that ever happened to your lodge home.
