园艺 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。





设计细节如下。如果有对英文“不适应”的，我再翻译吧。

Assessment
·Backyard is south-east facing.
·50’ by 50’.
·Matured deciduous trees surrounded. 60-70% with dappled shade.

有意思。

两个花圃之间连接的花架很有点意思，是整个花园的中心视点，要是能爬点紫藤葡萄之类的就更好了。
没看到patio，不知道功能性如何。
对我个人来说，感觉在花草整体规划，特别是高矮和texture的变化上可以更谐调统一些，花稍微多了些。我个人更喜欢各类灌木。
很佩服Nathan，真专业呀。感觉Nathan比较喜爱传统的东西，这个格局布置象四合院似的。

好眼力，佩服！这只是我为Nathan的初步设计，还需要和Nathan探讨。欢迎各种意见和建议（包括批评）

Pergola下建议种爬藤玫瑰(4th of July)，紫藤也是很好的选择（送他的两棵长得挺好）。花的种类有点多（a bit busy)，其实是我的喜好，希望Nathan能接受。Patio在西北角，借着树荫，紧挨房子，方便聚餐bbq之类的。由于软件的限制，没画好，也就没有放到重点（其实是最花钱的地方）。

说到花草的搭配，我更觉得颜色最重要，颜色的不同，才能更好的体现texture/shape/form。而颜色，主要来自叶子，因为perennial的花期都不会很长，特别是树荫下。

主题太多了，找时间分块切磋。

非常感谢你的评语！
