Every time they see other people’s gardens, everyone expresses envy and jealousy, but when it comes to building their own gardens, many people become timid. I don’t even have a house, how can I build a garden? Today, Huahua is here to introduce to you a flower friend, Xia Xia. Her house is rented, but her gardening life is her own.

Xia Xia is a post-85s designer living in Hangzhou.

Planting flowers is her hobby and has been going on for 5 or 6 years.

The increase in enthusiasm for gardening came from renting a small rooftop terrace.

Xiaxia spent a year building a small bare terrace into a small garden full of flowers.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, just one year passed, it turned out The landlord wants to sell the house in breach of contract.

The small garden has just begun at this time.

Xiaxia negotiated with the new landlord for a long time and found that the lease renewal was fruitless, so it can only regret Moved out.

The dream of renting a terrace in Xiaxia has been temporarily shattered.

After much searching, Xia Xia finally found a small yard of suitable size.

The sunny little yard looked very warm.

After negotiating with the landlord, signing the contract and negotiating the price for moving went very smoothly.

Xiaxia has moved into a new home as she wished!

Because it is a rented house, Xia Xia’s idea for this small garden is to allow it to accommodate the previous plants and some gardening groceries,

Use the existing items rationally, make the best use of them, and arrange and match them, so Xiaxia made a little plan.

In the early days of renovating the garden, the happiest thing about Xia Xia was having a roommate, Hezi, who loves gardens and plants.

In this way, the two of them can build a garden together!

The first step is to build a simple gallery frame.

Because the double arches existed on the previous terrace,

The style is relatively large and would not be suitable to be placed elsewhere, so I made a pergola with bamboo.

Then an iron mesh piece was added to make it easier for plants to climb.

In the second year, the rose had already covered half the flower stand!

Under the west wall, a row of hydrangea and clematis are planted at intervals.

Xiaxia and Hezi dug holes carefully and finally planted them all!

Of course their hard work was not in vain.

When the clematis and hydrangeas bloom, it is a surprise!

For the variety of hydrangea, Xiaxia chose Bella Anna.

The hydrangea planted on the ground is indeed growing vigorously and looks like a big rubber ball when it blooms.

In order to utilize as much space as possible, Xiaxia built a wooden arch at the entrance to the garden to divide the two areas.

A yellow Thomas rose was planted next to the arch, and it climbed up the arch not long after it was planted!

When it blooms, the rose has already covered the entire pergola.

The bright yellow color makes people happy just to look at it!

On the left side of the arch, Xiaxia used old Chairs, wine boxes and semicircular pergolas are combined with a small flowerpot, perfect for hands-on ability!

Xia Xia likes European-style wooden square towers very much, but there are none for sale,

so she and Tsuruko went to the timber market,

I bought some antiseptic wood and planned to make one.

Easier said than done. It took two people several days to build it.

Finally, apply a layer of paint and you're done!

Placing the finished square tower in the garden will not only allow the roses to climb up the square tower,

Placing a small object on the square tower will immediately enhance the garden. More than one style!

For a garden, the most annoying thing is Of course it’s a weed.

To completely solve this problem, it is best to transform the entire soil surface.

Unfortunately, the cost of renting a house is too high.

So Xiaxia chose to lay a layer of grass-proof cloth.

He also laid pebbles and red bricks on the grass-proof cloth, turning it into a natural path.

Under the pergola, Xiaxia wanted a romantic floor tile pavement.

After reviewing various information, Xia Xia selected a circle.

It took 2-3 hours to succeed!

Place two light green chairs on the floor tiles, and then Place a small wooden table.

This is where Xia Xia and Hezi like to stay in their free time.

The most indispensable thing for a small garden is a water source, right?

Xia Xia originally wanted to buy a Japanese-style water faucet.

Later, at the instigation of a friend, she bought materials at a hardware store and made one.

In addition to various ground plants, don’t let go of small countertops. Plant small shade-tolerant green plants!

After half a year of on-and-off gardening life experience, Tsuruko couldn’t help but sigh,

The life of a gardener is completely different from what he imagined!

Behind the seemingly beautiful photos, there are things that cannot be seen everywhere Thank you for your hard work.

After a year of construction, the small garden began to take shape.

Xiaxia also began to invite friends to her home.

Seeing them taking photos in the garden and sharing the fun brought by the garden.

Xia Xia also had a motherly smile on her face.

As a person who can dig holes, build walls, and install The female man who lights the lamp and connects the water pipe,

Someone asked Xia Xia, isn’t it a big disadvantage to rent a house for gardening?

After all, you can’t take these things with you when you leave.

Xiaxia’s answer is no.

Xia Xia said that she should improve her living environment and create a comfortable atmosphere within her capabilities.

It is certainly troublesome to move with so many flowers, plants and belongings.

But if you understand how much you have paid for the things you like,

it seems that you can face it calmly. After all, you will invest if you like it!

Life is actually very stressful and difficult, but gardening But it can be used as an energy supplement,

Because living with plants is a particularly healing thing.

Buying a house and having a home of your own may be an option,

But what Xia Xia prefers is to be home wherever she is.

Occasionally, Xia Xia worries about the future of the small courtyard after the lease term expires,

But she also vaguely looks forward to some different possibilities.

Isn’t that what life is like?

While preparing for trouble, it is better to have a hopeful heart!
