53 歲的 Joanne Mason-Henry 儘管之前沒有園藝或 DIY 專案方面的專業知識,但她還是獨自一人接受了改造荒涼空間的挑戰。
A mum suffering with arthritis has wowed her neighbours by transforming her "awful" council house garden into a stunning retreat using recycled beer bottles and shower curtains.
一位患有關節炎的媽媽用回收的啤酒瓶和浴簾將她「糟糕」的市政廳花園改造成令人驚嘆的休養所,這讓她的鄰居們驚嘆不已。
Joanne Mason-Henry, 53, took on the challenge of converting the desolate space single-handedly, despite having no prior expertise in gardening or DIY projects.
53 歲的 Joanne Mason-Henry 儘管之前沒有園藝或 DIY 專案方面的專業知識,但她還是獨自一人接受了改造荒涼空間的挑戰。
The resourceful mother-of-four invested roughly £750 into the renovation, crafting an oasis that features an Indian sandstone patio, a substantial eight by eight-feet garden shed, and a nature-friendly wildlife pond.
這位足智多謀的四個孩子的母親投資了大約 750 英鎊進行翻修,打造了一片綠洲,設有印度砂岩庭院、一個 8 乘 8 英尺的大花園棚和一個自然友好的野生動物池塘。
In an effort to keep costs down, she embarked on inventive means such as repurposing empty beer bottles collected from a pub for creating boundaries and adorning her shed's walls with quirky, decorative shower curtains, the Express reports.
根據《快報》報道,為了降低成本,她採取了一些創造性的手段,例如重新利用從酒吧收集的空啤酒瓶來劃定界限,並用奇特的裝飾性浴簾裝飾她棚屋的牆壁。
Acknowledging her lack of a green thumb, Joanne, a kitchen porter from Stoke-on-Trent, said the ongoing battle with her condition necessitated a garden demanding minimal upkeep, resulting in the sparse presence of plants.
來自特倫特河畔斯托克的廚房搬運工喬安妮承認自己缺乏園藝技能,她說,她與病情的持續鬥爭使得花園需要最少的維護,導致植物稀疏。
Joanne, who shares her home with her two youngest sons, Jude, aged 17, and Noah, 13, told PA Real Life the transformative impact of the space. "It's changed how we live, because we never used to sit outside," she said. "I wanted my garden to be cheap and very, very, very low maintenance, because my health isn't fantastic."
喬安妮(Joanne) 與她的兩個小兒子(17 歲的裘德(Jude) 和13 歲的諾亞(Noah))同住一處,她向PA Real Life 講述了這個空間帶來的變革性影響。 「這改變了我們的生活方式,因為我們以前從來不坐在外面,」她說。 “我希望我的花園很便宜,而且維護成本非常非常低,因為我的健康狀況不太好。”
Her thrifty approach is accompanied by a sound piece of advice for others: "If you look around you can get things for really cheap or free."
她的節儉方法伴隨著對他人的一個合理建議:“如果你環顧四周,你可以以非常便宜或免費的價格買到東西。”
Reflecting on her initial encounter with the garden back in 2016 when she moved into her two-bedroom semi-detached council property, Joanne recalled the less-than-ideal starting point, citing it as "awful".
2016 年,當喬安妮搬進她的兩居室半獨立式議會房產時,她第一次與花園相遇,她回憶起這個不太理想的起點,稱它「糟糕」。
Despite her best efforts to restore life to the lawn, her beloved seven-year-old spaniel Stan would playfully thwart her progress by digging holes across her green.
儘管她盡了最大努力讓草坪恢復生機,但她心愛的七歲西班牙獵犬斯坦卻頑皮地在草坪上挖洞,阻礙了她的進展。
In 2022, Joanne decided it was time to get her hands dirty and turn an empty plot into the garden of her dreams.
2022 年,喬安妮決定是時候親自動手,將一塊空地變成她夢想中的花園了。
She began by levelling the land, renting a "mini digger" for £80. "Got that delivered. He gave me a five-minute tutorial on what to do and I was like right, let's do this," Joanne said. "I just got on it and dug it up."
她首先平整土地,並以 80 英鎊租用了一台“迷你挖掘機”。 「收到了。他給了我一個五分鐘的指導,告訴我該怎麼做,我說對了,讓我們開始吧,」喬安妮說。 “我剛上去就把它挖了出來。”
To prevent weeds, she bought a 100-metre roll of membrane from Amazon for £50 and laid it across the soil.
為了防止雜草,她花了 50 英鎊從亞馬遜購買了一卷 100 公尺長的薄膜,並將其鋪在土壤上。
The fence between her and her neighbour was in disrepair, not simply requiring new panels but a complete fix. A professional job would have cost £700, out of Joanne's price range, so she improvised.
她和鄰居之間的柵欄年久失修,不僅需要新的柵欄,而且需要徹底修復。一份專業工作需要 700 英鎊,超出了喬安妮的承受範圍,所以她臨時湊合。
"I just bought two rolls of strong, bamboo sheeting which was about £30 a pack from The Range and attached it with flat metal wire," she explained.
「我剛從 The Range 買了兩卷堅固的竹布,每包約 30 英鎊,並用扁平金屬線將其固定,」她解釋道。
"It's been up three years now and we've had some really bad wind, but it hasn't budged and still looks like it did when I put it up."
“它已經掛起來三年了,我們經歷了一些非常糟糕的風,但它沒有移動,看起來仍然像我把它掛起來時一樣。”
Joanne also acquired a large Indian sandstone patio from a friend for £100. "There's a bit of a story behind the patio because his wife was a really good friend of mine and she passed away through Covid so we couldn't attend the funeral," she said.
喬安妮還以 100 英鎊從朋友那裡買了一個大型印度砂岩露台。 「露台背後有一個故事,因為他的妻子是我的好朋友,她因新冠去世了,所以我們無法參加葬禮,」她說。
"I thought firstly, I can use these, and secondly, I've got a little bit of my friend in my garden."
“我想,首先,我可以使用這些,其次,我的花園裡有一些我的朋友。”
Joanne, despite her arthritis making it tough to bend down, took on the hefty task of laying down slabs for her patio. "It was hard, but I just literally did a few slabs at a time and took my time doing it," she explained.
儘管喬安妮患有關節炎,很難彎腰,但她還是承擔起了為露台鋪設石板的艱鉅任務。 「這很難,但我只是一次做了幾塊板,並且慢慢地做,」她解釋道。
She's delighted with the result, saying, "I like it because it looks old and rustic."
她對結果很滿意,說:“我喜歡它,因為它看起來古老而質樸。”
After finishing the patio, Joanne crafted a unique border using recycled beer bottles in shades of brown and green. "I was thinking what could I do that would be cheap and that would look pretty," she mused.
完成庭院後,喬安妮使用棕色和綠色的回收啤酒瓶製作了一個獨特的邊框。 「我在想我能做些什麼,既便宜又看起來漂亮,」她若有所思地說。
Despite doubts from others - "I don't even know why I though of bottles, and everyone was saying, you're mental, they're just going to break."
儘管其他人對此表示懷疑——“我什至不知道為什麼我會想到瓶子,每個人都說,你腦子有病,瓶子會碎的。”
The Bleeding Wolf pub, where Joanne works, supplied the bottles at no cost. She prepared them by soaking off the labels in warm water.
喬安妮工作的流血狼酒吧免費提供了這些瓶子。她透過在溫水中浸泡標籤來準備它們。
"I got a rubber mallet, made the hole big enough, popped the bottle in upside down and just malleted it in," she recounted. To her satisfaction, "None of them have broken."
「我拿了一個橡皮錘,把洞打得足夠大,把瓶子倒過來,然後用木槌敲進去,」她回憶道。令她滿意的是,“它們都沒有損壞。”
When it came to greening up her garden, Joanne admitted, "I didn't have a clue what I was doing". Notoriously not green-fingered, saying "I kill cactuses in the house, I'm not a gardener", she opted for an easier approach.
當談到綠化她的花園時,喬安妮承認,「我不知道自己在做什麼」。眾所周知,她不擅長園藝,她說“我在家裡殺死仙人掌,我不是園丁”,她選擇了一種更簡單的方法。
She chose potted "bedding plants" from the supermarket and
她從超市挑選了盆栽“花壇植物”,
