Grandpa watered the land.

Now when it comes to who built the garden, friends all sigh: too rich. For ordinary people, it is good to have a house to live in. What kind of flower garden do you need? The uncle we are going to introduce today not only has a garden, but also has a five-story hanging garden. Where is it? Beijing imperial city!

Near the East Second Ring Road in Beijing,

Next to the Ming City Wall Ruins Park,

It is only 15 minutes' drive from the Forbidden City.

There are many tall buildings here, which can be said to be an inch of land and gold.

I didn't expect to be among the buildings.

When I looked up, I saw lush green.

It turned out to be the hanging garden above the roof!

Building a garden on the roof, still on the edge of the imperial city _ _ _

Who is the owner of this garden?

The owner of the garden is Gao Jianfeng, just in his early 70s. He is an agricultural student. He is not only interested in flowers, but also good at garden design. No wonder he can build a five-story hanging garden!

Teacher Gao likes the natural state of life, so there are always large pieces of flowers and plants in his design works. With these models, he traveled all over the country and displayed them in universities and forums, hoping that more people could accept this life concept.

When Mr. Gao retired, he finally had time to realize his dream. There is no yard at home, only a roof! Thinking of this, Miss Gao immediately drew a picture:

The roof of Mr. Gao's house is an irregular slope. Although the total area is large, it turns east and twists west. Most people will look back when they see it, but it is not difficult for the master. Teacher Gao completed the renderings of the five-story hanging garden in a few strokes!

First floor: the small balcony of the house

The first floor of the Hanging Garden is a balcony with the original attic. Mr. Gao planted gardenias, rich trees, happy trees and lobular rosewood here. Looking at Beijing, it is no longer reinforced concrete, but green.

There is a ladder on the small balcony on the first floor. Climbing up this ladder is the second floor. The ladder is surrounded by vines, and only one hole is exposed to facilitate access. From this perspective, it is really unique!

Second floor: Vineyard

Teacher Gao's vineyard can be said to make full use of the advantages of sloping roofs. In the southeast corner of the whole building, the light here is the best and most suitable for the growth of grapes.

The location is good and the grapes are competitive. This vine is an "old tree" that Gao family has raised for decades. Look at this old photo and you will know!

Miss Gao said that even her daughter grew up eating grapes from this tree. This vine is full of memories!

The third floor: Rose Garden

The area of the third floor is not too big or too small, which is a bit awkward and relatively long. The roses that Miss Gao planted here are mostly red old roses, which bloom frequently and have few diseases.

Besides roses, there are some flower and fruit trees, such as jasmine, hibiscus, notoginseng, peach tree and Fukiko. These flowers can be eaten, made into tea and used as medicine. Teacher Gao is so careful.

Fourth floor: Taoyuan entrance.

On the fourth floor is a long and narrow L-shaped corridor, in which several large flowers are planted, including Chenopodium grandiflorum, yellow comb, Chunlan and Mirabilis jalapa, and a small cherry tree is planted in the north. Besides flowers and plants, it is the gateway to the core of the garden!

Standing on the fourth floor of the Internet is the highlight of the garden. Teacher Gao specially built wooden stairs and arches, and named them "Taoyuan".

Although there are no ten-mile peach blossoms in Taoyuan, it is really a paradise in a bustling city!

The fifth floor: "Taoyuan" in the air

When we arrived at the fourth floor, we couldn't wait to see Miss Gao's fifth floor. I heard that this is the core of the whole garden ~

Climbing to the top floor is the roof garden, where you can enjoy tea and flowers, and you can also have a panoramic view of the most central scenery in Beijing.

This floor is the largest, with not only flowers and grass, but also vines. Put on two tables and chairs, take a nap here at ordinary times, and compete with the living immortals ~

You can still be so carefree on the edge of the imperial city. I wonder how many people envy Mr. Gao's life. His hanging garden was also on Beijing Satellite TV, which was praised by the host!

Seeing this, don't think that Miss Gao is very idle. He has been as busy as a bee since he built this hanging garden. Besides growing flowers, he also grows many vegetables. It is not so much a garden as a vegetable garden!

Besides vegetables, there are many fruit trees, such as grapes, peach trees, cherries, apples and orange trees, which need careful care to bear fruit every year.

In this way, Miss Gao needs to have "three heads and six arms" for hundreds of pots of flowers and trees. After careful inquiry, Mr. Gao smiled. It turned out that he also installed an intelligent watering system, and the mobile phone controlled watering. Huahua really opened her eyes ~

As long as the watering time is set on the mobile phone, it can be controlled remotely and watered on time ~ I can't see that Mr. Gao, who is in his 70 s, is still a science and technology expert!

In addition to advanced scientific and technological equipment, Miss Gao also made skateboards for older flowers. It's not hard to push them around, and it's okay to chase the sun every day ~

Teacher Gao's concern is not limited to planting flowers and grass, but also the safety of the roof garden. The stress points in each area should be fixed on the load-bearing wall to ensure foolproof.

Of course, the dream life needs hard work. Every morning, the sun shines through the flowers and leaves, which is the most gratifying moment for Teacher Gao!

Between the flowers and the grass, you can still vaguely see the ancient city buildings in the distance _ _ _ _ _

When they were tired, the family went to sit under the green trees, drink tea and eat fruit, and talk about family happiness. The days passed between flowers, birds, fish and insects.

Even if you live in a bustling city, you can attract a few settled wild ducks and leave a nest to lay eggs during the migration ~

Butterflies are also frequent visitors to the garden, constantly flying around to collect honey. The so-called "great seclusion" is this realm!

Finally, although the roof garden is beautiful, there are still hidden dangers because of the dense surrounding buildings. Miss Gao's garden doesn't know how long it will last. I hope this beautiful scenery can be enjoyed not only in pictures ~
