Gardening August 12th, 2010
NOT only that imitation jewelry, one park there was a fake. This imitation garden park called artificial (fake).
This is an artificial wall reliefs in the park which is used as background garden. Typically, wall reliefs showing often dramatically with models like the walls of the palace garden with scratches and interesting artistic and additional rock, gravel, and sand.
However, with some reason, the plants are sometimes used fake plants. Although the use of this plant should not be because in addition to no good, which is displayed in green color senatural not the original plant. Fake plants are usually used when an artificial garden area that there is absolutely no sun light.
“Artificial garden made for settlements, is not very scientific. The use of plants that can not be false. To get space that is not exposed to the sun can be used as dradanea shade plants,” said landscape architecture from the University of Trisakti Arwindrasti Jakarta Ir.
General artificial garden in the house was built to impress a beautiful, green, and shady with natural colors. Colors are derived from the color of the leaves and hard materials (hardscape) which became one of important elements to complement the design of a park, such as pebbles, flowers, and rocks. In addition, a narrow land is also a reason for residents to bring the garden inside the house.
“It’s more beautiful when built inside the house, but outside (the house) is also good. It all depends on the taste of a home. In addition, this park can also be built for those who do not have a large yard, but want to have a garden,” says decorator park from Park Abdul, Abdul Madjid.
The concept of artificial park’s most widely adopted into the home of the rock reliefs made by various models with the addition of other accents. Among other bridges, fountains, and statues of geese, pond, and garden lights are dim.
All relief rocks made of cement with iron or wire framework. Layer of wall reliefs in the park is rough and the shape of the cliff niche. Meanwhile, for the plants, Abdul Madjid using native plants, whether plants or plant shade hot. For space is not much sunlight, he’s using shade plants, while plants placed in the heat of a lot of sunlight or outdoors.
Temporary relief to the model itself is a form of rock with lots of scratches, steep-steep or cliff, using natural stones and river stones, using a bamboo or a jar for water fountain, fish pond model, and so on.
The placement of the park in this house, Arwindrasti said, should be in the car port, into the living room, or under the stairs. Dry garden plants or dry resistant plants, such as palm-paleman types can be combined with beautiful artificial because the location in the home garden is not much sunlight.
In addition to the dining room, use another room under the stairs as well as a choice. Thus, the view down the stairs that was not attractive at all, to be worthy of the beautiful scenery to enjoy. Artificial garden built outside the house, usually built on the porch or beside the house.
Problems park must be adjusted to the style of the house. Arwindrasti tells, for the modern home or country, the plant used for the artificial garden of exotic plants with beautiful flowers and leaves. “If to park in the house vote is beautiful like a palm leaf. However, if for outside the home, use a beautiful flower,” he said.
For the modern home, he said, could choose waterfalls in the walls to support artificial beauty in the home garden. In addition to making this waterfall is not too much to eat the living, beautiful impression fits with the style of modern house.
Abdul Madjid added, to house modern, minimalist model of an artificial garden, a lot of play in the scratches and, are also suitable. The reason is, if the artificial garden accents are displayed in the bustling modern house, the atmosphere that emerged would be too crowded and looked solid. Meanwhile, for country-style home, large pond in the garden more artificial, rural areas will find that the impression will be more integrated with the sound of water pond.

Bamboo plants that grow relatively quickly. “Unfortunately, in Indonesia this minim. preservation technology or four years have been destroyed,” said atox.

For example, the framework aluminum furniture from materials that are made in such a way that is very similar to rattan,” Deny the light of the finalists the International Young Design Entrepreneur of the Year 2006 British Council Indonesia
