My friend Kinga is a landscape architect or, more simply, a garden designer. This is her own garden.
When she started to develop it, the garden was not really encouraging: a couple of evergreens and some grass digged all over by the dogs. She, however, in a few years made an exemplary family rest garden out of the ruins.
She managed to establish a rich garden with several functions which at the same time can be easily maintained.
In a couple of days Kinga and her family – as they cannot earn their living with their profession in Hungary – will move to Britain. We hope that there they will have another garden from where they will not have to move for any reason any more.

As they have two little children, sideways – where it does not ruin the overall view, but they can keep an eye on the children – they made a small playground with sandbox and swings. And in front of the house they built a large terrace of basalt stones which joins the house and the garden as an external room.
In the middle of the garden Kinga has maintained the grass suitable for playing, but she encircled it with shrubs and put perennials in front of them.

You have got a nice garden out there. I think a connection with plants means a connection with the nature itself.
