Park could be said if the environmentally able to function optimally. These elements can be used not only support the building aesthetics, but also fully functional on the environment surrounding Indonesia's tropical gardens certainly need that can absorb heat and rain well.

Therefore, making the park in such buildings are required to stay home. Its function is also quite diverse. When we see visually, the park can be used to decorate the house. Only, the actual scientific works to maintain the park system and ecological environment.

Park can also be one factor triggering unfriendly environment for the occupants lifestyle home. Suppose that by creating crops that are not in place, such as planting fruit trees in the front area.

Because of its productive and dense, the tree will not only damage the park aesthetics, but also trigger passersby in front of the house to take the fruit is ripe.

Or another example, originated from the desire to protect the house from thieves then the residents chose to plant thorn. But because the residents were not diligent in pruning plants berdurinya, consequently even endanger every person who walks around the area of the house.

The question now is, how to make eco-friendly garden? Rubianto Giwo landscape architect explained, is environmentally friendly garden that not only can be viewed in one side.

However, the park was also able to function optimally, ie not only can be the lungs of the city, but can also be used as the lungs of the inhabitants of the house.

At home, eco-friendly garden should be able to give a green atmosphere, one of them by selecting trees that are not only shady, but also in accordance with house and garden area.

According to professor of landscape architecture Sumiantono Raharjo, there are a few things to be done to make eco-friendly garden, including planting broad-leaf plants such as trees ketapan, beautiful violin tree, or a kind of family than the oak. This is based on the benefits of trees, broad-leaf trees, which can reduce evaporation of water into the air.

"So, put the trees in some parts of the house combined with garden design," said Sumiantono.

In addition, the park must also bersenyawa with the owner's lifestyle home. That is, the park we make must not "endanger" the residents. In the sense not to use thorn bushes, the area must be greater because it is useful as a means of playing children, and do not use the branches that break easily and pulled out the sap.

Similarly Giwo disclosed. There are some residents who plant trees in the area of productive front of the house. Initially it was intended to protect the house from the dirty air and noise pollution. But at the time of fruit harvest, the tree is what triggers people passing in front of the house to do something.

"So, planting trees in the park need to be considered," said Giwo.

Another thing to do, there's always sought contact between interior and exterior elements. For example, call Sumiantono, use crop colors harmonious with the texture of the building.

"Not because they want to follow the trend, the park is used varies inversely with the building design. If you have this, the park instead of adding ice-tetika occupancy, but instead damage the beauty of the house, "he explained.

In addition, there are also several other complementary factors. According to Giwo, and the protective barrier is one of the elements to create an environmentally friendly garden. Suppose we have a house facing west, then place it can protect the plant following the house occupants from the sun during the day.
