Modern people’s requirements for the living environment are no longer simply clean, tidy, and well-greened. Many people are eager to live a life in the courtyard or in the mountains away from the secular world. Today Huahua will introduce it to you. A flower friend living in the mountains - Prajna Bolin!

Garden renovation 1: Create a beautiful entrance and a rest area on the east side

Berlin has always wanted to build a dream "hut" on the mountain, a place where she can hear the birds singing, rest with the sunset, enjoy flowers and vegetables, and drink wine and tea. She named it "Dream House" Hut"!

In 2013, she and her husband were visiting Nanshan Lake. By chance, By coincidence, I saw a small villa on the mountain, which later became "Menglu". Because the original owner was in urgent need of funds, he sold it to the Bolins at a low price.

What is surprising is that this three-story villa facing the lake has a large garden of more than 1,000 square meters. She finally has the opportunity to create the pastoral life in her heart!

Menglu is built on the mountain. The whole is a half-way hillside. There is a deserted garden and weeds on the slope. You can imagine how difficult it is to transform it!

Before the garden renovation:

Garden After renovation:

The entire building is divided into six floors of functional areas , a large garden on the first floor, a house and a small garden on the second floor, a vegetable garden on the third floor, a corridor on the fourth floor, an orchard on the fifth floor, a pavilion and a sunroom on the sixth floor, all layered on top of each other, like a manor. Today Huahua will focus on introducing the gardens to you. And the transformation of vegetable gardens and orchards!

Garden renovation one: Create a beautiful entrance and a rest area on the east side

Go up the mountain road to the entrance of the garden. There is an arched iron gate at the entrance. The construction of the gate It is very important. Berlin added an arched iron flower stand on the door stack to prepare for the future rose climbing~

On the right side of the courtyard gate, with the help of the slope, two three-dimensional fish ponds with strong upper and lower layers were built~

This fish pond is the soul and soul of the entire garden. Eyes, with water, the garden becomes more alive.

Berlin planted water lilies, buddleia, water onions and other flowers and plants in the fish pond, and beside the fish pond, she planted galsang flowers, calamus and iris~

To the east of the garden is a The grass garden needs to be transformed into a small garden.

First build stairs, pave the path with bluestone slabs, and then transplant shrubs and flowers. Follow the path to the end, where you will find a corner. Berlin made this place a rest area:

< p>On a small round platform, a wooden swing is set up, an arched flower door is built behind the swing, and vine roses are planted; the floor is paved with rain flower stone pattern tiles, and a few black iron tables and chairs are placed. In your spare time, drink Tea chats are great!

This is the small garden on the east side!

Garden renovation 2: Build a circular walkway and plant various flowers and plants

Because the garden is a large sloping land, we must first build a circular trail according to local conditions. While connecting various places, it can also create the effect of winding paths leading to seclusion and changing scenery with each step!

The vegetation on the slopes is exposed and overgrown with weeds. In the process of building trails, weeds must be removed and flowers and trees planted~

Sakura trees, red maples and other woody trees are planted on the outside of the slopes. Plants, plant low bushes around the path, scatter a handful of grass and flower seeds under the bushes, and continue to adjust and plump them during the process!

In this way, there are big trees, shrubs, and flowers. The plants in the garden gradually gain a sense of hierarchy.

The stone steps paved with bluestones extend all the way to the stairs at the entrance of the two-story house~

At this point, the prototype of the entire garden is in place, and then plant flowers and plants. Isn’t it particularly beautiful?

Vegetable orchard renovation, eating natural food

Berlin built vegetable gardens and orchards on high floors. Cucumbers, beans, amaranth...all kinds of vegetables are lush and growing very gratifying~

A patch of corn was planted outside the vegetable garden, and a few sunflowers were planted under the wall~

The vegetable garden and Between the orchards is a long grape trellis corridor!

The corridor is covered with gourds, loofahs and bitter gourds, as well as intertwined pumpkin vines~

Lingxiao flowers and wisteria flowers are planted along the corridor~

Go through the corridor and walk into the orchard, where peaches, plums, apricots, and dates are planted. , persimmon, loquat, blueberry and other fruits~

Every summer and autumn, you can always harvest a lot of fruits and give them to your relatives and friends!

The construction of the entire garden was completed by Bolin and her husband themselves. With their love for nature, they constantly overcame various obstacles, read books and magazines, studied online, and stole ideas from old flower friends. Technology... finally achieved today's results.

Every day I get up early and stay busy until late at night. Although my body is tired, my heart is full of excitement and joy!
