Creating a 25 sq m terrace garden like this: tables and chairs, flower railings, a sun umbrella - what else is missing?

While building a terrace garden, many people look through some foreign gardening references, and what they see is not only the profusion of flowers and plants in the garden, beautifully arranged by the owner's clever pairing to look well-layered and stunning, but also the various planters and plant supports in the garden, which, combined with the flowers all over the garden, are likewise full of beauty and look incomparably lovely. There are also matching wooden and wrought-iron garden furniture of all kinds, rustic tea tables, swinging swings, organically integrating all the elements of the garden, looking so fitting and full of romantic color. This kind of garden is probably everyone's dream.

This is the small carbonized wood gate and the tall and short carbonized wood fences of the north garden. Because it was arranged rather late, the plants have not yet grown in. On both sides of the small gate, I planted two climbing roses. The two small garden plots are separated by stone slabs. After the car is parked, you can walk directly through the two small garden plots when getting out. On both sides of the arch, I hung a pot of moss rose on each side. When the photo was taken, it was already afternoon, and the flowers had closed. In the morning and at noon, that is when the flowers bloom most brilliantly.

But everyone has a love of beauty. With examples in front and ideas in mind, within one's financial means, doing some landscaping to the best of one's ability is still something that can be done.

The neighbors and property management staff all saw it. Because the cucumbers planted were a Dutch variety, after growing they hung outside the railing, with a diameter of more than 10 cm and a length of 20-30 cm. Nobody knew what they were, and for this reason they even made a bet, coming to me to verify it, which amused me enormously.

At the time, I only thought of conducting experiments in the flower trough with the relevant plant nutrient transfer magic sticks, and neglected the beautification of the flower trough's design and shape. Now it seems that the functionality of the flower trough has not been much affected, but the appearance lacks artistry. Let me show everyone a picture: if it had been built according to this design at the time, the flower trough would have been much more attractive. Fellow flower lovers can refer to it for ideas.

This year, seeing that there was still some preserved wood left, I thought about building a frame on the terrace for plants to climb on. The iron railing is L-shaped. I thought about it for a long time. If the upper crossbars were built parallel, the corner would be hard to handle, and making them radial would also be hard to do. Later I finally figured it out: building it in a staggered high-and-low shape is both easy to construct and not ugly, and moreover more sturdy. Good, let's do it this way, hehe.

This is the finished product. It should not be too tall. Two levels: the higher level can be reached by standing on the flower trough, and the lower level can be reached by standing below the flower trough; both are within reach. In addition, another reason for not making it too tall is safety. If plants climb up it, they will need frequent tidying, and if it is too tall it is very inconvenient. Also, it must be combined with the surrounding environment, taking into account the height of the walls on both sides; the proportions need to be harmonious.

In the corner of the wall, I picked up a discarded military tag that had been picked up, making use of waste, and nailed it to the flower railing. Keep serving.

That's how it is. Looking at it from a low angle, it is still quite harmonious.

The small terrace now looks like this. With wooden outdoor furniture and wrought-iron flower stands, trellises and the like, following the previous ideas, the garden was quickly laid out.
