If you have a small yard to grow flowers, how would you arrange your retirement life?

It would be a wonderful life to have a small courtyard of your own when you grow old! In the past, farmers all yearned for urban life, but now urbanites all yearn for rural life. Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely, this kind of life is really enviable!

If I have a small yard after retirement, I will arrange my retirement life like this;

Step 1: Plant the plants I like

I will plant my favorite flowers in this small courtyard for 4 weeks. I personally like jasmine, peony, plum blossoms and camellias. Recently I have seen a lot of European flower arrangements that are quite beautiful, such as dahlias, fritillaries, French chrysanthemums, moonflowers, banana leaves, and monsteras.

When planting flowers, they should be arranged in an orderly manner to give them a sense of hierarchy. Banana leaves and monstera should be interspersed between flowers. These two plants can reflect style.

Step 2: Build a pavilion in the middle of the small courtyard

The design of this pavilion should be modern, and the material should be antiseptic wood. Put a sofa and coffee table in the pavilion. Just think about it. The picture makes me feel very happy! Whether they are Chinese or foreigners, they all have the same thing in this regard. They like to put furniture in the pavilion and enjoy the natural scenery.

The purpose of building a gazebo is to enjoy the scenery in the yard no matter it is sunny, rainy, snowy or windy. In the summer, I sit in the pavilion drinking tea, admiring flower arrangements, and listening to the chirping of birds. You can also chat and laugh with your family in the pavilion, and you can also have barbecue in the pavilion at night, how comfortable it is!

When friends come, you can invite them to the pavilion to talk about old times and drink tea. When it snows in winter, you can sit in the pavilion and enjoy the snow scenery, which is full of beauty.

Step 3: Raise poultry in a corner of the yard

You can set aside a space in a corner of the yard to raise poultry, such as chickens, ducks, or geese. The excrement of these chickens, ducks and geese can also be used as fertilizer for plants, and the withered flowers can also be used as feed for chickens, ducks and geese.

The eggs laid by these poultry can be eaten by your family, and they are green, natural, and pollution-free. They taste much safer than those bought in the market.
