Alpinaries are very beautiful, but, unfortunately, so far rare elements of the decoration of the manor site. These structures resemble a rocky landscape in miniature. They consist of large stones of a natural shape in the form of a small slide or some other mountain composition at the request of the flower grower. The space between the stones is filled with earth and planted by moss, carpet or stunted plants with beautiful foliage. The easiest way to choose such plants in the nearest forest, on sandy or rocky soils. From cultural annual and perennial species, a snowdrop, daffodil, onions, primrose, stone, forget -me -nots are suitable. To make a mountaineering, first, a drainage layer 10-20 cm thick from crushed stone, expanded clay or broken brick is laid on the site. Durned ground is poured on it in a mixture with peat and large sand and small stones. This layer determines the shape of the future climbing. Finally, large stones or boulders are laid on top. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the stones are firmly on the base. Carelessly laid heavy blocks can break and lead to trouble, especially unpleasant if small children are nearby. Flower wall is a cross between a slave and a stone retaining wall. If on the site there are noticeable changes in the heights of the Earth’s surface, the resulting slopes are faced with a natural stone (approximately proper geometric shape) in the form of an inclined or stepped masonry. In the cracks between the stones on a slope or over ledges, the ground is scattered and creeping or climbing plants are planted.
