Gardening may be performed at a professional level or as a hobby. There is a wide range of accessories available in the market for both the professional gardener and the amateur to exercise their creativity. These accessories can help decorate all the different areas of gardens such as walk ways and raised beds, and any other area.

Location, size, budget are all characteristics to be considered when choosing accessories to improve a garden's deco. Accessories are made of different materials such as copper, stone, wood, bamboo, metal, stainless steel, clay, stained glass, concrete, iron, and the weather where the garden is located will determine which material works best to ensure accessories last long.

A garden's decoration with the appropriate accessories also adds personality and beauty, and depending on the situation, the decoration chosen will provide functionality to the garden. Paths for instance are functional for the maintenance of the garden, and can be somehow decorated using different materials such as pine needles, wood chips, fieldstone, or bricks. Also, backdrops include walls, fences, and hedges which are intended to provide privacy. Moreover, they hide unsightly areas and also emphasize desired views.

Trellis, arbors, and arches add height. Trellises are used for climbing flowers and vines or to create a vertical garden of small fruits and vegetables while arbors and arches can be places on walkways or entry ways. This kind of structure provides additional depth to the landscape.

For those who enjoy their garden at any time, there are also night accessories which include candle lanterns, oil lamps, patio torches, and illuminations.

Feeders, hummingbird feeders and birdbaths are all good options to invite birds to visit one's garden and also make good ornaments.

Large accessories such as benches, water fountains, stone features, urns, and statues should be used sparingly or they will cause a cluttered appearance. Fountains come in a variety of styles ranging from traditional to modern. Not only do they work as part of the deco but they also have a calming effect. Some of them are made of fiberglass which makes them lightweight and weather resistant. There are also solar-powered fountains with a remote solar panel that can be placed in the sun while the fountain is located in the shadow.

Other accessories to be taken into account are garden gongs, gazing balls, garden bugs, garden stakes, pot hangers, spinners, pinwheels which help enhance different deco styles.

Обратите внимание!

Глагол to go имеет значение «идти, ходить» и «ехать, ездить», т.е. он может обозначать движение как пешком, так и на транспорте, тогда как глагол to walk («идти, ходить») обозначает только движение пешком.

Например:

Go! – Иди! Езжай!

Don’t run, walk! – Не беги, а иди!

Значение русских наречий вот и вон обычно передается по-английски сочетанием слов here (здесь) и there (там) с глаголом to be: наречию вот соответствует сочетание Here is… (Here are), а наречию вон соответствует сочетание There is… (There are).

Например:

Here is your book. – Вот ваша книга.

There is John. – Вон Джон.

Here are your glasses. – Вот ваши очки.

There are his brothers. – Вон его братья.

Впрочем, иногда наречие вот переводится на английский язык сочетанием не с here,

а с there:

Например:

– And where is the trolleybus stop? Is it far?

– No, it’s not far. There it is.
