Xia Xia is a post-85 designer living in Hangzhou

Planting flowers is her hobby, which has lasted for 5 or 6 years

The increase in enthusiasm for gardening comes from renting a small roof terrace

Xia Xia spent a year putting the 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 breach of contract

At this time, the small garden has just begun

Xia Xia negotiated with the new landlord for a long time and found that the renewal was fruitless, so she had to regret moving out

The dream of renting a summer terrace is temporarily broken

After some twists and turns, Xia Xia finally found a small yard of appropriate size

The sunny little yard looks very warm

After negotiation with the landlord, the signing and price negotiation were very smooth

Xia Xia has fulfilled her wish and moved into a new house

Because it's a rented house, for this small garden

Xia Xia's idea is to make it accommodate previous plants and some gardening groceries

Make rational use of the existing items, make the best use of everything and make reasonable collocation, so Xiaxia made a little plan

At the beginning of the garden renovation, Xia Xia's happiest thing was to have a roommate, Hezi, who loved gardens and plants

In this way, two people can build a garden together

The first step is to build a simple corridor

Because the double arch existed on the terrace before

The style is relatively large, so it's not suitable to put it elsewhere, so we made a shed with bamboo

Then iron mesh is added, so that plants can climb

In the second year, the rose has covered half of the flower rack

Under the west wall, a row of hydrangeas and Clematis were planted at intervals

Xia Xia and Hezi dug a hole in neither black nor white, and finally planted them all

Of course, their hard work was not in vain

When Clematis and Hydrangea bloom, it's amazing

Xia Xia chose bellaana as the variety of hydrangea

The hydrangea planted on the ground is indeed growing vigorously. It looks like a big ball when it blooms

In order to make full use of space as much as possible, 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 to climb up the arch

By the time of flowering, the roses had covered the whole vine frame

The yellow color makes people happy

On the left side of the arch, Xia Xia used the old chairs, wine boxes and semi-circular vines he picked up

The combination is matched with a small flowerpot. Full marks for hands-on ability

Xia Xia likes European style wooden square towers very much, but because they are not sold

So she went to the timber market with Hezi

I bought some antiseptic wood and prepared to make one myself

It's easier said than done. They built it for several days and succeeded

Finally, apply another layer of paint and you're done

Putting the completed square tower in the garden can not only make the roses climb up along the square tower

Put a small object on the square tower and immediately improve more than one style of the garden

For a garden, the most annoying thing is naturally weeds

To completely solve this problem, it is best to transform the whole soil surface

Unfortunately, the cost of renting a house is too high

So Xia Xia chose to lay a layer of grass proof cloth

On the straw proof cloth, he also paved small stones and red bricks, which became a natural path

Under the rattan frame, Xiaxia wants a romantic floor tile pavement

After consulting various materials, Xia Xia selected 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 indispensable thing for a small garden is water, right

I want to buy a small style of summer water house

Later, encouraged by his friends, he bought materials in the hardware store and made one

In addition to all kinds of ground plants, don't let go of the small table. Plant shade resistant small green plants

After half a year's experience of gardening, Hezi couldn't help feeling

The gardener's life is completely different from what he imagined

Behind the seemingly beautiful photos, there are hard work that can't be seen everywhere

After a year of construction, the small garden began to take shape

Xia Xia also began to invite friends to visit her home

See them taking photos in the garden and share the fun of the garden

Xia Xia also smiled like an old mother

As a woman who can dig pits, build walls and install lights and water pipes

Someone asked Xia Xia, isn't it a loss to rent a house and play gardening

After all, these things can't be taken away when you leave

Xia Xia's answer is No

Xia Xia said that he should improve his living environment and create a comfortable atmosphere within his ability

With so many flowers, plants and possessions, it's certainly troublesome to move

But if you want to understand how much you have paid for what you like

It seems that you can face it calmly. After all, you can only invest if you like it

In fact, life is very stressful and difficult, but gardening can be used as an energy supplement

Because living with plants is a special healing thing

Buying a house and having your own home may be an option

But Xia Xia wants to be at home wherever she is

Occasionally, Xia Xia worries about the future of the small courtyard after the lease term expires

But I vaguely expect that there are some different possibilities

Isn't life like this

While preparing for trouble, it's better to have a heart of expectation
