Makatron recently finished a large jungle mural featuring wild animals, lush tropical plants, insects, a waterfall flowing into what looks like a cenote and some overgrown old technology hidden throughout the artwork.
CITY – AN URBAN JUNGLE GARDEN IN LONDON I first met this couple when I did some design clinics at the Urban Gardens Show in London; they liked the sketches I produced for them at the show and it led to a full design for their garden. It’s probably my smallest garden to date, just 9m by 4.5m (30’ x 15’); there was also a 5′ rise just outside the back door. My clients were extending the house to create a large kitchen with glass panels along the rear face, so the views from here were as critical as the views within the garden itself – and the last thing they wanted to be looking at was a 5′ wall, or, indeed, a set of steps! So I divided the retaining wall into two sections, with a planted bed at the intermediary level, and took the steps at a curve through the wall, almost hiding them. As the area left for a terrace from the kitchen had also been reduced in size, I also made this in the same material as the kitchen floor to give a seamless inside/outside transition. The rest of the plan is very simple – following on from the decked terrace I designed circular ‘stepping stones’ in decking that run in a curve through the garden to a seat. These circles are set within slate chippings, which also formed an inexpensive tread for the steps. The boundaries in a small garden are also really important, too enclosed and the garden feels smaller, too open and you lose privacy. The answer was to create side panels between my clients and their neighbours from slatted wood, painted the same colour as the kitchen units to provide additional unity between inside and out. I used the same styling to make 4 large planters and an inbuilt seat on the terrace so that the effect of the yellow brick walls (matching the house walls) is not too harsh, and so that the best use is made of the small terrace space. LOSING THE BOUNDARIES HAS MADE THE SPACE FEEL MUCH LARGER THAN IT IS, AND THE PATH LEADING FROM THE TOP OF THE STEPS INVITES YOU TO EXPLORE I used a product called Mobilane Green Screen for the rear boundary. This is effectively a narrow steel support planted with ivies in biodegradable troughs; this means that my clients have a completely green boundary, with all the wildlife and aesthetic benefits, without it taking precious space from the garden. It also means that the rear boundary completely disappears. The garden is then planted mainly for foliage, with three different types of bamboo along with grasses and bananas to create a lush jungle; a fabulous sight from the house, an oasis of calm from within. This garden is one of ten gardens featured in Design Your Garden by Caroline Tilston, published by John Wiley & Sons, and was one of ten gardens featured in the Great London Garden Trail 2010 All photographs copyright Steve Gorton www.stevegorton.com

Hej da draußen! Ich hoffe man liest mich trotz der spärlichen Einträge noch, heute kann ich endlich mal wieder bei den UJB teilnehmen! Das Motto diesen Monat lautet, eine Pflanze an einen Freund verschenken.nAlso wie verpacke ich meine grünen Geschenke. Die Pflanze auf dem Bild ist eine Spuckpalme und eigentlich bekam ich sie (besser gesagt den Samen) geschenkt und er ging wunderbar auf. Ich hoffe ich kann eines Tages selbst Samen ernten und sie verschenken. Jedoch schweife ich wieder vom Thema ab. Einige die mich kennen, wissen, dass ich im Februar eine große Reise unternommen habe - Japan hat mich gerufen und ich bin gekommen. Japan ist ein riesiger Unterschied zu Deutschland und der europäischen Kultur, das wird in allen Lebenslagen deutlich. Die Japaner pflegen (die meisten von ihnen) eine Ästhetik, die ich verehre. Selbst schnöde Lebensmittel werden sorgsam verpackt (über den Umweltaspekt und den Verpackunsmüll sehe ich daher mal geflissentlich hinweg). So verpackt man Geschenke oder die bekannten Bento Frühstücksboxen in Tücher, die sogenannten Furoshiki. Der Stoff kann unifarben, bedruckt oder mit besonderen Mustern verziert sein. Ich dachte mir, dass das eine gute Chance sei, etwas zu verpacken, das Ergebnis seht ihr unten. Ich freue mich, das ihr wieder mal vorbeigeschaut habt und empfehle euch, doch auch mal die anderen Beiträge zu bestaunen, besonders zum Muttertag sind das gute Inspirationsquellen wie ich finde! Hej to you all out there! I hope there is still one person who is reading this blog. I was still busy all day, so interesting and timeeating things happened the past month (sadly MONTHS). But new month, new topic of the urban jungle bloggers. 'Offer a plant to a friend' is the new competition. If you take a look on the pictures below, you can see an euphorbia leuconeura. I got the seeds a long time ago and i'm happy that she is still growing. Someday i offer some seeds to my best friend, whose seeds didn't sprout. So my story is more a promise than a real gift. And now something about my packaging. Some of you might know/noticed that i travelled through Japan in february. It was a positive culture shock. So much differnces between europe and asia, even if you take a look to there asthetics, which were so special for me and which i adore. So that wrapping technique calls furoshiki, there you wrap your gift, a bento box or whatever you like in a square cloth and like origami you create with different knots and cloth positions an unique giftwrapping. Furoshiki can be monochrome or with different patterns on it. If you want to see some different giftwrapping ideas take a look to other urban jungle bloggers ;) Jan
