Our Garden winner in the SWR3 Gardening contest

Post by flyfisher »

******UPDATE*******
Added now 2 photo slide shows with "flowers" (Blumen) and "landscape" (Landschaften)
http://www.lemmerhome.com/t3/reisen/fot ... lumen.html
check it out & enjoy!
:D

Hi,

check http://www.lemmerhome.com/t3/garten/ for Fotos, and the story about our award winning little garden. Our garden has been selected out of over 500 gardens in the categeory "smaller gardens" in a contest hosted by the German SWR3 TV station - you will find also an video clip about the selection which gives you a better idea of our garden.

Maybe the one or the other what we have created could be of use for you. It would be nice if you leave us an entry in our guestbook http://www.lemmerhome.com/t3/gaestebuch/

There are also nice pictures and reports about New Zealand, Canada and Guernsey.

enjoy

Congratulations! Your garden is very beautiful!! You obviously have put a lot of hard work into it. I wish I had more sunny areas like that, but my husband won't cut down any trees, so I pretty much garden in the shade....Jackie

Congratulations!!! Very, very nice! You say they consider that a "small" garden? I better get busy...at that classification, all my gardens don't even qualify as mini's. Ha, ha. Very nice...thanks for sharing!

150 - 200 square meters

Post by flyfisher »

Hi,

it looks bigger than it actually is which was also one of the intensions I had in mind when designing it.


What you actually do not see on the pictures are some special plants and our australian parrot bird aviary.

There are local wild orchids, and seedlings of plants from Canada, scotland, and even some grass flowers from Denmark (Thorsminde) so lots of stuff that is not visible at first sight - but it is there.

I will add some more pictures to the website in the coming days/weeks of some of the plants & flowers.


regards

Post by flyfisher »

as a matter of fact I probably have to add english pages to the new stuff on the website. I must admit I was way tooo lazy as it took me awhile to get it up in German :(

drop me a note in our guestbook under
http://www.lemmerhome.com/t3/gaestebuch/ to activate the "powers of will" to get more negish text on our webpage


regards

flyfisher

Love the winther pic- it showes the bones of the garden :wink:
Learned the hard way how important they are in a small garden :roll: :cry:

How many square meters are your garden ?

Did you find a really blue one :-?
Just give it a lot of samd :wink:

Hope you got some freash fish and seafood in Thorsminde :D

Never thought about this before, but there have to be a reason for calling a small fisher town just nort of out real bible belt Thorsminde- Thor is the name of an old Wiking god ( god of wars) and minde is memory ... have to figure out...rambling, I know :lol:
