"OPEN-AIR" AT RESTAURANT

 

At creation of an interior of restaurant by all means it is necessary to address to floral designers. The skilled florist always will offer set of variants of gardening which meet both to conditions of a premise room, and material opportunities, and your wishes.

If you not the biologist and not the agriculturist at purchase of alive plants to expect extremely for the knowledge does not cost. It is possible to buy amazingly beautiful, at first sight, a flower, and it through short time not only will be lost itself, but also will infect the neighbours. Notice, even skilled фитохудож-ники prefer to buy plants in greenhouses together with professional biologists. Therefore, if you will entrust a choice to professionals receive a guarantee on the green order of the premise. The guarantee usually makes five seven months. During this time the firm itself "serves" plants.

But the guarantee was finished. What is farther? Agree, it will be insulting, if fine compositions will be lost only that have charged with care of them to nonprofessionals. And you see a little who reflects that plants as are requiring to care, as well as other alive essences. Therefore the person who are looking after plants, should be able "to hear" requests of plants, and skill it has at times simply mystical character.

Many firms take plants and on послегарантийное service. However do it reluctantly, it is especial if purchase and a guarantee care were made by other experts. Therefore is more convenient and cheaper to employ the gardener. Not bad, if it will be the person with the special diploma. Though there are many examples when similar work was carried out excellent with people without special education, on with wide experience of dialogue with plants. To find such experts simply, very much frequently them may recommend floristic designers - they too are interested, that their works lived long and kept a worthy view. The standard quotations on such services are not present. The size of payment depends on volume of work and how you agree with the gardener...

In a dark restaurant hall do not grow even most shade-tolerant plants - at the best they there will be kept in an initial kind. More requiring plants will live in such conditions no more than two months, and blossoming quickly will dump the bright dressingr and will wither. Therefore it is necessary to listen to recommendations of floristic designer at the choice of green "surroundings" - guarantee certificates differently will change.

There are premises where alive plants do not live at all, and their replacement and reanimation manage unfairly dearly. In such cases experts offer a combination of artificial plants with alive. On a prestigious of design it has not an effect, the main thing that the artificial greens and flowers were high quality, and floristic artists will create from them original compositions. Interesting opportunities in floristic design of dark premises give both conservated plants and flowers. This vegetative material processed by special substances does not demand any care, and its "conservating" is appreciable only to experts. Such plants, by the way, can be exposed and in the street - they will not lose the decorative effect. Their unique lack - extremely high price.


 

If you want to decorate the institution bonsai, but are not solved because of complexities with a care alternative become just conservated coniferous bonsai. They are processed on domestic technology, and their appearance is completely identical to an alive material. These "sleeping" little trees may be both absolutely tiny, and large enough. And to look after them it is very simple.

If you do not transfer some any synthetics and substitutes and in this case all the same it is possible to plant trees and shrubs in your restaurant to spirit. Using special illumination, floristic designers create the refined alive compositions even in a dark premise.

In summer season for gardening boundless prospects open - to decorate with real flowers and plants it is possible also an entrance of restaurant, and the summer open area. Both solid large plants, and the refined flower compositions in containers, on beds, in flowerpots and even on lampposts here are used. And sometimes the simple well-groomed lawn with bright flower пятнами involves visitors more, than a variety and refinement of the menu...
