Creating a garden on the lake offers unique and stimulating opportunities for the Landscaper.
The lake environment, in fact, is characterized by a mild microclimate not too dissimilar from the English one, which represents an Eden for every plant lover.
Even if the climate of the place is anything but temperate, such as in mountain lakes, the proximity of the water allows the creation of a unique combination of temperate temperatures, soil with high organic substance endowments, abundant rainfalls and the absence of excessively strong or salty winds, as instead happens in other contexts such as coastal ones.
For the above reasons, designing a garden on the lake allows to use a very wide palette in terms of plants, thanks to ideal environmental conditions.
In such contexts, it is possible to use acidophilic plants and plants that fear too intense a sun, as well as shrubs and herbaceous plants that require deep and rich soil. These are the plants offering the most spectacular blooms, which extend well beyond spring until late summer.
All the plants typical of the English context are therefore suitable for these environments, as well as plants from North America and the Far East, such as Japanese maples, camellias, dogwoods, etc. At the same time, however, it is possible to find places in the garden where the exposure is suitable for the cultivation of citrus fruits or real rarities such as plants from southern Africa or some areas of Australia. Finally, it is possible to dedicate large areas of the garden to turf, which is easy to manage due to the generally humid climate. The spectacular view of the water and the panorama offered by the wooded slopes of the context complete an enchanting scenario, that offer the opportunity to create extremely suggestive and fascinating gardens.
