for beautiful gardens
|
Garden -cafe: Bonn: The Kranzler Cafe is outstanding.
Bremen: Its Ratskeller, one of the most celebrated in Germany, is wine-conscious, rather than beer-conscious.
Cologne: Cafe Reichardt, on and in the square in front of the cathedral, is excellent and wonderfully placed; Stinner Terrasse is a Rhineside cafe, trans-Rhine, a good place with a good view.Diisseldorf: In the heart of this very lively city is the outstanding Restaurant Zweibruckerhof, smart and colorful; two or three miles outside, on the bank of the Rhine, is the first-rate Rheinrestaurant Schnellen' burg, with riverside garden -cafe. Frankfurt-am-Main: The Kaiser Keller, in the heart of this hub city of business and transport, is a luxurious restaurant with a big garden -cafe cafe. Another excellent place is Die Alte Post. See Also From Garden:The inclusion of an arresting object within a small garden is an excellent way of detracting the eye from garden adjacent buildings and into the garden itself. The focal point in this garden is an ornate wrought-iron seat, which leads the eye down the garden. The rather austere rectangular lawn is surrounded by a mass of pretty, shrubby little plants, which together help to soften the overall look of the garden.There are many ways of increasing the sense of depth in a garden. Vistas can be emphasized and "lengthened" by stressing the distant perspective. Eye-catching features can be used to draw the eye away into the distance, but there is no need to rely solely on the contents of your garden to do this. Make use of the landscape outside: let the outside world become the focus of your garden vista. If you are fortunate enough to have a garden with an extensive view, make the most of it. Use trees and shrubs to frame a glimpse of the scene beyond the garden. On The Other Hand See Garden Flowers wall:Every space in this tiny garden flowers wall is filled with a mass of colorful, fragrant flowers and foliage. An atmosphere of scent and beauty pervades, particularly in summer when everything is at its best. A curved wooden bench (apparent only when you are in the garden flowers wall) allows you to sit among all the flowers. A trellised Wall is covered with climbers; and diverse pots, planters, and high-standing jardinieres all enhance the visual effect. The white background shows up the plants to great advantage, and also makes the area seem a lot larger and brighter than it really is.The plan for the wild garden flowers wall is smaller than the others in this book. Wildflowers are never quite as grandiose as the plants used in a typical garden flowers wall or herbaceous border. They need a more intimate setting. This plot is designed for a corner of a property and asks that a deciduous tree here a Japanese maple be included for open shade during the hot summer. A birdbath is provided since birds and wild-flowers go together. Stepping stones should be in the plan so you can walk directly into the garden flowers wall to see the flowers close-up. Bloom will begin in early spring and continue into the fall. |
