53 岁的乔安妮·梅森·亨利 (Joanne Mason-Henry) 尽管之前没有园艺或 DIY 项目方面的专业知识,但她还是独自一人接受了改造荒凉空间的挑战。
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.
一位患有关节炎的妈妈用回收的啤酒瓶和浴帘将她“糟糕”的市政厅花园改造成令人惊叹的休养所,这让她的邻居们惊叹不已。
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 岁的乔安妮·梅森·亨利 (Joanne Mason-Henry) 尽管之前没有园艺或 DIY 项目方面的专业知识,但她还是独自一人接受了改造荒凉空间的挑战。
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.
这位足智多谋的四个孩子的母亲投资了大约 750 英镑进行翻修,打造了一片绿洲,设有印度砂岩庭院、一个 8 乘 8 英尺的大花园棚和一个自然友好的野生动物池塘。
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.
据《快报》报道,为了降低成本,她采取了一些创造性的手段,例如重新利用从酒吧收集的空啤酒瓶来划定界限,并用奇特的装饰性浴帘装饰她棚屋的墙壁。
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.
来自特伦特河畔斯托克的厨房搬运工乔安妮承认自己缺乏园艺技能,她说,她与病情的持续斗争使得花园需要最少的维护,导致植物稀疏。
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."
乔安妮 (Joanne) 与她的两个小儿子(17 岁的裘德 (Jude) 和 13 岁的诺亚 (Noah))同住一处,她向 PA Real Life 讲述了这个空间带来的变革性影响。 “这改变了我们的生活方式,因为我们以前从来不坐在外面,”她说。 “我希望我的花园很便宜,而且维护成本非常非常低,因为我的健康状况不太好。”
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."
她的节俭方法伴随着对他人的一个合理建议:“如果你环顾四周,你可以以非常便宜或免费的价格买到东西。”
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,当乔安妮搬进她的两居室半独立式议会房产时,她第一次与花园相遇,她回忆起这个不太理想的起点,称它“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.
尽管她尽了最大努力让草坪恢复生机,但她心爱的七岁西班牙猎犬斯坦却顽皮地在草坪上挖洞,阻碍了她的进展。
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,乔安妮决定是时候亲自动手,将一块空地变成她梦想的花园了。
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,并以 80 英镑租用了一台“迷你挖掘机”。 “收到了。他给了我一个五分钟的指导,告诉我该怎么做,我说对了,让我们开始吧,”乔安妮说。 “我刚上去就把它挖了出来。”
To prevent weeds, she bought a 100-metre roll of membrane from Amazon for £50 and laid it across the soil.
为了防止杂草,她花了 50 英镑从亚马逊购买了一卷 100 米长的薄膜,并将其铺在土壤上。
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.
她和邻居之间的栅栏年久失修,不仅需要新的栅栏,而且需要彻底修复。一份专业工作需要 700 英镑,超出了乔安妮的承受范围,所以她临时凑合。
"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.
“我刚从 The Range 买了两卷坚固的竹布,每包约 30 英镑,并用扁平金属线将其固定,”她解释道。
"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."
“它已经挂起来三年了,我们经历了一些非常糟糕的风,但它没有移动,看起来仍然像我把它挂起来时一样。”
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.
乔安妮还以 100 英镑从朋友那里买了一个大型印度砂岩露台。 “露台背后有一个故事,因为他的妻子是我的好朋友,她因新冠去世了,所以我们无法参加葬礼,”她说。
"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,我可以使用这些,其次,我的花园里有一些我的朋友。”
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.
尽管乔安妮患有关节炎,很难弯腰,但她还是承担起了为露台铺设石板的艰巨任务。 “这很难,但我只是一次做了几块板,并且慢慢地做,”她解释道。
She's delighted with the result, saying, "I like it because it looks old and rustic."
她对结果很满意,说:“我喜欢它,因为它看起来古老而质朴。”
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.
完成庭院后,乔安妮使用棕色和绿色的回收啤酒瓶制作了独特的边框。 “我在想我能做些什么,既便宜又看起来漂亮,”她若有所思地说。
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."
尽管遭到其他人的质疑——“我什至不知道为什么我会想到瓶子,每个人都说,你神经病,它们就会破裂。”
The Bleeding Wolf pub, where Joanne works, supplied the bottles at no cost. She prepared them by soaking off the labels in warm water.
乔安妮工作的流血狼酒吧免费提供了这些瓶子。她通过在温水中浸泡标签来准备它们。
"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."
“我拿了一个橡皮锤,把洞打得足够大,把瓶子倒过来,然后用木槌敲进去,”她回忆道。令她满意的是,“它们都没有损坏。”
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.
当谈到绿化她的花园时,乔安妮承认,“我不知道自己在做什么”。众所周知,她不擅长园艺,她说“我在家里杀死仙人掌,我不是园丁”,她选择了一种更简单的方法。
She chose potted "bedding plants" from the supermarket and
她从超市挑选了盆栽“花坛植物”,
