This styling can be accomplished with absolutely no problems with a few relatively inexpensive accessories and a few simple steps. So you will certainly quickly attract the attention of neighbors and friends. Here are a few tips on how to implement western style in your garden.
Tips for a western-style garden
❍ Tip 1 - Red Earth:
First of all, red soil is important for the flower beds, which you can distribute decoratively in the form of red granules and/or plant clay as the top layer. An advantage of the granules or clay is of course that it stores moisture for the plants, which means that they can be optimally supplied with water, especially in the summer months.
Alternatively, you can also distribute decorative bark mulch in the garden, which is now available in different shades of color in specialist shops.
❍ Tip 2 - Suitable plants:
In the Wild West, the plant landscape was not always barren and barren, which is why you can easily plant flowering perennials in your garden in addition to numerous trees and shrubs. Furthermore, all cacti in clay pots look quite attractive.
Here are some plants that go particularly well in a western garden:
- Lavender, Thistle, Ginkgo,
- Sequoia, Maple, Pine,
- Borse, vinegar tree, heather in all colors,
- Grasses, Sea Buckthorn, Buddleia,
- Rowberry, Cypress, Wollziest,
- Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano,
- Dill, Quaking Grass and Helichrysum
❍ Tip 3 - Tanned cowhide:
A redesign of the seating is of course essential with the western style, whereby the garden furniture should of course generally be made of wood. You can also choose the upholstery with a comfortable checked fabric or with an imitation leather cover.
You should also hang up tanned cowhide at least in the seating area. You can then optimize the styling with sheep's wool accessories, which are now quite common againmarkets.
❍ Tip 4 - Western Accessories:
You can also decoratively distribute typical western accessories in the garden. For example, what absolutely cannot be missing in a western-style garden is a bull's skull. This "hunting trophy" is an absolute highlight in the western garden.
An absolute must-have in the western garden: the wagon wheel in any shape. Whether simply placed as a decorative object in the garden or converted into a beautiful garden bench. A wagon wheel is a classic symbol of the Wild West.
If you want to go a step further, you can integrate a totem pole in the garden. Totem poles, as the totem poles are also called, were particularly widespread among the Indians of the American Northwest Coast. A perfect eye-catcher for a western-style garden.
A three-legged grill, a discarded saddle, a stack of firewood with a log and hatchet, a cowboy hat on the wall, etc. are also suitable. Just let your creativity run free. For example, you can also integrate a saloon door in the garden. After all, whatever you like is allowed.
