Practical solution to achieve a utility sector in a private garden

Abstract

This paper presents the solution of setting up a utility sector grown with traditional and exotic vegetables, but also aromatic and pharmaceutical utilitarian plants, necessary for the use of a household. The style of arran-gement of the utility sector is the English one, following the classic pattern of vegetable gardens, with well-defined geometric shapes, but which, in addition to the utilitarian role, also serve as a relaxation space. Thus the sector is provided with a small square in the center, with seating, a vessel of water for birds in the center and an ornamental brick wall with a waterfall in the form of a curtain. In the center of the arrangement, but also on the alley, were placed pots with flowering plants but also exotic tree species such as lemons, oranges, mandarins, etc. The utility sector will have a fence consisting of a white picket of 70 cm high that has not only an aesthetic but also a functional role, stopping the access of pets in the area. The entrance to this sector will be made through a vault with a gate, on which specimens of honeysuckle will be erected, and behind the arrangement, next to the ornamental wall with water and pool, two triads have been proposed that create an intimatebut also aestheticen-vironment, opting for their coverage with the help of specimens of improved ivy. The vegetal material is assumed to be planted in raised layers (cofferdams), made entirely of built bricks, as well as the pavement and the ornamental wall.The paper presents both the planning stage and the execution stages of this utility sectorwithin a private property in Focşani, Vrancea, during May-August 2019.
