以花會友

雖然父母早就從農村走進城市,但農民基因很顯然隔代遺傳到我身上。從小我就對花花草草有濃厚的興趣,有了自己的院子之後更是一發而不可收

不過一般來說,一個院子不要多於10種植物,不然看著很亂。
可以有一兩顆落葉樹,1兩棵長青樹,另外灌木,ornamental grass, perennial, annual 等等。
數目以1,3,5,7為好。比如1棵medium size tree, 3 shrubs, 5 irises, 7 snapdragons.小的花要多種,連成片,不然沒有impact.
If you want to have season long interests, you need to choose plants that bloom in different seasons. For example, iris blooms in the spring, snapdragon in summer, garden phlox in late summer, and mum(菊花) in fall. You will have to do some research on what grows well in your area and choose plants accordingly.
It is better to choose a theme and stick with it. For example, a white garden has all white flowered plants. A cottage garden has a lot of perennials. Look through books to find what style suits your taste.
