Xia Xia is a post-85 designer living in Hangzhou.
Planting flowers is her hobby, which has lasted for 5 or 6 years.
And the increase of enthusiasm for gardening comes from renting a small terrace on the roof
Xia Xia spent a year, will be bare little terrace,
Built into a small garden full of flowers
Unfortunately, it didn't last long. Just a year later, the landlord wanted to sell the house in default.
At this time, the little garden just started
Xia Xia has been negotiating with the new landlord for a long time, but finds that the renewal is fruitless, so she has to move out.
Xia Xia's dream of renting a house on the terrace was temporarily ruined.
After a lot of twists and turns, Xiaxia finally found a small yard of the right size
The sunny little yard looks very warm.
After the negotiation with the landlord, it was very smooth to sign a contract to discuss the price and move
Xia Xia has moved into her new home as she wishes!
Because it's a rented house, for this little garden
Xia Xia's idea is to allow it to accommodate the previous plants and some gardening groceries.
Reasonable use of existing items, make the best use of them, and match them, so Xiaxia made a little planning.
At the beginning of the transformation of the garden, Xiaxia's happiest thing was to have a roommate, Hezi, who liked the garden and plants.
In this way, two people can build a garden together!
The first step is to build a simple rack.
Because the double arch is the former terrace.
The style is quite big, it's not suitable to put it elsewhere, so we made a canopy with bamboo
Then added the iron mesh, so that plants can climb.
The next year, the rose has climbed half of the shelf!
Under the west wall, a row of Hydrangea and Clematis were planted in between.
Xia Xia and Hezi dug a hole without any black or white, and finally planted them all!
Of course, their hard work is not in vain
When Clematis and Hydrangea bloom, it's amazing!
The variety of Hydrangea, Xia Xia chose bellaanna
The hydrangea planted in the ground really grows vigorously. When it blooms, it looks like a big ball.
In order to make the most of the space, Xiaxia is in the position of entering the garden.
Another wooden arch was built to divide the two areas.
A yellow Thomas rose was planted next to the arch. It didn't take long for it to climb up the arch.
By the time it blooms, the rose has already covered the whole cane rack.
The yellow color makes people happy!
On the left side of the arch, Xia used the old chairs, wine boxes and half round vines he picked up.
Combined with a small flowerpot, hands-on ability full score!
Xiaxia likes the European style wooden square tower very much, but because there is no one for sale,
So she and Hezi went to the wood market.
I bought some antiseptic wood and prepared to make one.
It's easier said than done. Two people built it for several days.
Finally, apply another layer of paint, and it will be a success!
Put the square tower in the garden, not only can the rose climb up along the square tower,
Put a small object on the square tower, immediately let the garden improve more than one style!
For a garden, the most annoying thing is the weeds.
If you want to solve this problem thoroughly, it's best to transform the whole soil surface
It's a pity that the cost of the rented house is too high.
So Xia Xia chose to lay a layer of grass cloth
On the straw proof cloth, he also paved small stones and red bricks, which became a natural path.
Under the pergola, Xiaxia wants a romantic floor tile pavement.
After a variety of references, Xia Xia chose a circle.
It took 2 - 3 hours to succeed.
Put two light green chairs on the floor tiles, and a small wooden table
This is where Xia Xia and Hezi are most willing to stay in their spare time.
The most important thing for a small garden is the water supply, right?
Xia Xia wanted to buy a Japanese style water hydrant.
Later, encouraged by my friends, I bought materials and made one in the hardware store.
In addition to all kinds of ground plants, small table also don't let go, shade resistant small green plants up!
After half a year's gardening experience, he couldn't help feeling.
The gardener's life is totally different from what he imagined!
Behind the beautiful photos, there are hard work that can't be seen everywhere.
After a year's construction, the small garden began to take shape.
Xia Xia also began to invite friends to visit her home.
See them take photos in the garden, share the fun of the garden
Xia Xia's face also showed an old mother's smile
As a woman who can dig a hole, build a wall, and install a light and water pipe,
Some people ask Xiaxia, rent a house to play gardening, isn't it a loss?
After all, these things can't be taken away
Xia Xia's answer is No.
Xia Xia said, in the ability to improve their living environment, create a comfortable atmosphere,
Tossing about so many flowers and family belongings, moving is of course very troublesome
But if you want to understand how much you have paid for something you like
Seems to be able to face it, after all, like it will be put into it!
In fact, life is very stressful and hard, but gardening can be used as an energy supplement.
Because living with plants is a special healing thing
Buying a house to own a home, maybe it's a choice
But Xia Xia's more hopeful state is where she is, where is home
Sometimes, Xiaxia also worries about the future of the small courtyard when the lease term is up.
But there are some different possibilities.
Isn't life like this?
At the same time, it's better to have a heart of expectation.
