花园设计 - Nathan的后院

石针养花

今年夏天，有幸到Nathan家做客。幽静的后院，树荫浓密。天然的斜坡，令人无限遐想。
和大家分享一下花园设计。如果有对英文“不适应”的，我再翻译吧。

谢谢你的这些设计图，我对这些很感兴趣，如果楼主方便，有个实际效果图就更好了。我一直打算好好规划一下我家的后院。

不错，很漂亮。

我还是喜欢多点草地。
能在四周种点花就好了，只是种什么花，让它们在春夏秋都有花开着，有鸟唱，有蜂飞，有蝶舞。。。
这才是我要的

:yes:

好，
告诉我现在的情况：
前院还是后院
大小
朝向
周围是否有树（大小）和建筑
已经有的elements: e.g. patio, deck, pool, etc
斜坡还是平地
新区还是老区（推测土壤结构）
地下的管线（需要找到survey，或者找市政府要）
什么样的fence

需求（包括家人的）（比如）：
小孩子玩耍的地方
种菜
需要安静的地方休息/读书/密谈
喜欢看花/或者叶子
想种树
有多少时间/精力打理院子


花园设计是长期的，实施可以分几年完成。值得好好考虑和计划

请问你是专门搞庭院设计的吗？我家前后院也很大的，想整整呢。

我觉得很多人有这个需求，改善花园布局。
相对于白人来讲，我们华人不太重视在花园的投资。我们新移民刚来，先解决“温饱”问题，先安顿稳定下来，再考虑提高生活品位的问题。
但随着我们在这里慢慢的适应了，“温饱”不成问题了，改善居住环境就提上来了。所以我觉得你的这个“第二”职业是很有前景的。做得好的话，很有可能成为你第一职业。

版主说得极是。养花是我的爱好，最近专门学习了园艺设计。今年年初做的设计还获了一个小奖，很受鼓舞。

在西方发达国家的庭院中，可能有近一半的花草树木，源自中国，或者和中国有紧密的关系。让人既惊讶又感慨。会慢慢和大家分享。
