A zen swimming pool
After a hard day's work, there's nothing better than taking a dip and relaxing in the pool to recharge your batteries. The movement of the water creates a relaxing atmosphere to get rid of stress and fatigue. And it is even more wonderful if the pool is placed in the middle of nature.

This shrub will embellish the bottom of the massif with its small white flowers. Next to it, hydrangeas can be installed with its colorful flowers that are pleasing to the eyes. Further forward, boxwood balls, blue fescues and daisies will create a nice contrast of colors that can be highlighted with erectons to place by the pool. A light, country atmosphere will undoubtedly be the order of the day. In addition, it will be even more wonderful to add boxwood topiaries in pots and install them in all corners of the pool. If the pool is surrounded by a security fence, an arch can be placed at the entrance to support a climbing rosebush for a touch of softness.
