Where the story begins<\/h2>\n\n\n

Since I grew up in the heart of a big city I was not born a gardener. It was until my parents bought a cottage on a rural and raw countryside in Hessen that I discovered how wonderful it is sitting in the sun – watching my parents doing the cutting, planting and watering. Years went by and I did not work in the garden until my father died. My mother and I had to do all the work now to maintain the house and garden. That’s where my story begins.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hard work on stony grounds<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It’s hard work there. We have millions of big and small volcano stones in the soil. There’s not a single planting without digging stones with the hands. No spade helps us doing this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow<\/p>Audrey Hepburn (actress)<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the last years especially in the summer heat we lost two old rhododendrons, a tree and some freshly planted flowers. It was sad to see but as I thought about how to save plants in changing climate conditions the garden kept crawling into my mind. I visited gardens in Ireland, Scotland and England, in Italy and Spain to study the formal structure and composition of garden areas and colourmixtures. Today I keep Goethes colour circle on my phone to train contrasting ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Arcadia as a ground fantasy<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    Althoug the garden enriched my life latelely I did deal with images of arcadia before. As a photographer and writer I found it the ground fantasy we’re all longing for. For some arcadia is a garden, for others it’s an urban idyll with light furniture and a dream of green growing out of pots and herbarians. Wherever we live, images of arcadia are with us. Even today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All pictures you see on this blog are of my courtesy. If you’d like to share one of them I’m happy when you leave a note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Work fine and do well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
