作庭について

作庭に関して、お庭を直したいけれど、イメージがわかない等の相談をよく頂いています。
(例:この部分を苔にしたいのだけど。。 なんか暗いからどうにかして!!)

苔でもいろいろな種類があってその土地に適応するように数種類の苔を貼る場合があります。
(日当たりが良い場所が好きな苔、日当たりが悪いところに適応しやすい苔などがあったりします)

お庭の鑑賞は中に入る前からはじまっています。
例えば住宅のコーナー付近に樹木がないと、外観はみすぼらしいものになってしまいます。
外観のために植えたものでも、家の内側から見てみるとお庭が一回り大きく感じられたりもします。

お庭の向きも作庭、維持管理においても大変重要な要素です。
それぞれのお庭の向きによって植栽でわかりやすく説明すると
例えば、南向き、東向きのお庭には冬の日当たりのよさ、夏場の日陰の多さが大切なので落葉樹。
西と北は冬の寒い風を遮る為に常緑樹が適しています。

他にも例を挙げたらきりがないですが、東向きのお庭には逆光が午前中に限定されているため
そのほかの時間が側面からの光が多く、イメージを最優先にしても快適なお庭が出来上がります。
石組、植栽でも思いめぐらす必要もありません。

他には小鳥を呼ぶ樹木をお庭に植えても楽しみが増えますね。樹種多いお庭を作れば自然と小鳥は集まってくれます。
自分の住んでいる環境で、どうすればお庭の楽しみ方を拡げられるのか考えてみてはいかがでしょうか。
それぞれの空間に適した作庭が必要です。

Regarding creation of landscape gardens

I sometimes provide advice for creation of landscape gardens including the case that even they want to renovate their gardens, but they don't have any ideas and images.
(One example: They wanted to change a part to moss garden and tried to change it, but the part became too dark. So they wanted us to help it.)

There are many kinds of mosses and I sometimes grow some kinds of mosses in tune with the region.
(There are some mosses which prefer sunny spots, while the others prefer and can be easily adapted to unsunny spots.)

Watching landscape garden has already started before entering in a garden.

For example, if there is no tree near the corner of residential area, the appearance becomes miserable.
Even a tree planted for the purpose of good appearance, watching from inside of the house, we sometimes feel as if the garden looked larger than its actual size.

The direction of landscape gardens is also an important factor for creation and maintenance of gardens.

If we explain it using planting according to directions of each garden;
For example

For gardens oriented to south or east, it is important that there is large amount of sunlight in winter and shade areas in summer.
So deciduous tree is suitable.

For gardens oriented to west or north, evergreen trees are suitable in order to block chilling breezes in winter.

If providing other examples, it never ends. But...

For gardens oriented to east,

Backlit state is limited to during morning time, so there is large amount of sidelights during the other hours. Therefore, even if placing utmost priority on its image, comfortable garden can be created.

It is unnecessary to consider arrangement of stones and planting in the garden.

It is also a fun to plant a tree in a garden, where birds can flock. If creating a garden where there are many tree species, birds naturally flock together.

How about thinking how to enjoy landscape gardening more in your own living environment?

It is necessary to create landscape gardens suitable for each space.
