She built a garden on a barren mountain, enjoyed flowers, planted vegetables, traveled around the mountains and water, and even the gods envied her!

Berlin has always wanted to build a dream "deer house" on the mountain, a place where birds can sing, rest with the sunset, enjoy flowers and vegetables, and drink wine and tea. She named it "Monroe"! In 2013, she and her teacher were playing by the Nanshan Lake. By chance, she saw a small villa on the mountain, which became her "dream house." Because the original owner was in urgent need of funds, he sold it to the Berlin couple at a low price. Surprisingly, this three-story villa faces the lake and has a large garden of more than 1,000 square meters. She finally has the opportunity to create the pastoral life in her heart! The dream house is built on the mountain, and the whole is a garden in the middle of the hillside, overgrown with grass, in the wilderness. If you want to transform it, you can imagine how difficult it is! Before the garden renovation: After the garden renovation: The entire building is divided into six functional areas, namely one large garden, two residences and small gardens, three vegetable gardens, four promenades, five orchards, six pavilions and sunrooms. , layer upon layer, like a manor. Today Huahua will focus on introducing to you the renovation of gardens, vegetable gardens, and orchards!

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

Take the mountain path to the garden entrance. There is an arched iron gate at the entrance. The construction of the garden gate is very important. Berlin added an arched iron flower stand to the gate stack to prepare for the climbing of roses in the future. On the right side of the garden gate, with the help of slopes, two three-dimensional fish ponds with strong layers were built. This fish pond It is the soul and eyes of the entire garden. With water, the garden becomes flexible. Berlin planted water lilies, dense flowers, green onions and other flowers in the fish pond, and planted Gesang flowers, calamus and iris beside the fish pond. To the east of the garden is a wild grass garden that needs to be transformed into a small garden. First build stairs, pave the path with bluestone, then transplant shrubs and flowers, and follow the path to the end, where there is a corner. Berlin built this place into a rest area: a wooden swing was built on a small round platform, an arched flower door was built behind the swing, and vines and roses were planted; the floor was paved with rain flower stone pattern tiles, and several pictures were placed on it. Black iron tables and chairs. In your free time, drinking tea and chatting is 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 slope, we must first build a circular walkway according to local conditions to connect various places and at the same time create a The winding paths lead to secluded places, changing the scenery! The vegetation on the hillside is bare and overgrown. During the construction of trails, weeds should be removed and flowers, grass and trees should be planted. Woody plants such as cherry trees and red maples should be planted around the slope. Low shrubs should be planted around the path, and a handful of grass seeds should be sprinkled under the shrubs. During this period, you need to constantly adjust your plumpness! There are big trees, shrubs, and flowers. The plants in the garden gradually gain a sense of hierarchy. The stone steps paved with bluestone extend all the way to the stairs at the door of the second-story house~ Here, the prototype of the entire garden is there. Isn’t it beautiful to plant flowers and plants?

Vegetable gardens and orchards have been renovated to enjoy the taste of nature

Berlin has built vegetable gardens and orchards on high-rise buildings. Cucumbers, beans, amaranth. All kinds of vegetables are lush and growing well. A patch of corn is planted outside the vegetable garden, and a few sunflowers are planted under the wall. The fruits and vegetables harvested in the vegetable garden are fresh cucumbers. If you can't finish them, you can pickle them into pickles. It tastes special! The stewed noodles with sword beans and eggs are also delicious~ Eggs and purslane can be made into delicious vegetable cakes~ There is a long grape trellis corridor between the vegetable garden and the orchard! The promenade is filled with gourds, loofahs, bitter melons, and tangled pumpkin vines. Next to the promenade are planted thorns and wisteria. Walking through the promenade, you enter the orchard, which is filled with peaches, plums, apricots, and jujubes. , persimmons, loquats, blueberries and other fruits ~ Every summer and autumn, you can always harvest a lot of fruits to give to your relatives and friends! Berlin and her husband built the entire garden themselves. With their love for nature, they constantly overcame various obstacles, read books and magazines, studied online, and stole skills from old friends. Finally, they achieved today's results.

I get up early every day and am busy. Although my body is very tired, my heart is full of excitement and joy!
