Theme: Four seasons
主題：四季
Speaking of Lingnan Garden plantation, what comes to your mind?
Design concept:
Speaking of the Lingnan region, I believe that most of you pop up the sceneries of luxuriant trees and blooming flowers in your mind. Diverse plants bloom in every season in Lingnan is the feature of this region since it locates in the subtropical area, which has good weather and context for plantation. Masters of the Lingnan Gardens contain this local feature in their garden design. Adding various plants decoration not only makes the garden become splendid but also shows the ideology of the garden, which is the garden master's passion for the natural environment and staying away from mundane affairs.
People living in the garden and guests can enjoy the free and peaceful living atmosphere by admiring the breathtaking scenery in the garden. In addition, bonsai is the characteristic of the planation of the Lingnan Garden. In different seasons, the masters of the garden can change the vegetation of the plant pots to be the seasonal plants for each season.
Our design involves blooming plants pictures in four seasons and bonsai to restore the scenery of Lingnan Garden plant decoration. Through this picture, you feel like you immerse in the scenery to admire the breathtaking view to understand the essence and beauty of Lingnan Garden even though you stay at home.
設計理念：
說到嶺南水鄉，多數人腦海中都浮現了枝繁葉茂和花團錦簇的景象，歸因於嶺南位於亞熱帶地區，造就當地四季如春，終年繁花似錦的特色。嶺南庭園主人把這個本土特色加入庭園設計中，多元化的植物不僅令庭園更為美觀，也能突出其崇尚自然、寄情山水、隱逸田園的造園思想，讓居住者以至來賓享受到自由恬靜的生活氣氛。由於大部分嶺南庭園的植物是盆景，所以隨著季節的轉變，主人可以轉換成合乎時令的植物，嶺南庭園因而獲得有四季繁花的美譽。我們在設計中加入了四季植物盛放的照片和盆景植物以還原嶺南庭園的植物佈置的景象，透過這些畫面，讓你們即使身處家中也產生彷彿置身其中的感覺，領悟到嶺南庭園植物的美好。

The picture of plants in four seasons is designed in a circular shape and embedded on the brick wall. The circular design is the imitation of the circular window and moon cave door in the garden, where the places ancient people admired vegetation.
Although we are not in the Lingnan Garden, we can have the same feeling of admiring plants like the ancients through watching similar sceneries and imitating their behaviour.
四季的照片被設計成圓形嵌在在磚牆上，圓形的設計如同庭園中圓窗和洞門般，古人會在這兩個地方欣賞植物。即使我們沒有親臨庭園之中，但憑著相似的景象和仿效古人的行為，能夠從中理解他們觀看植物時的感覺。
2. Restore the scene of Lingnan Garden 還原嶺南庭園的佈置
(i) Chinese style ornament
The decorative openwork window is the unique design of traditional Chinese gardens. Lingnan garden had created a new style, which input western elements on the traditional design.
各式各樣的漏窗是中式庭園特有的設計。嶺園庭園則增添了新的元素，在中式風格中加入西方的元素，創造了獨有的設計。
(ii) Bonsai
As mentioned before, bonsai is one of the features of Lingnan Garden plant decoration. A bonsai bought from the Internet and some pot plants are decided to borrow from university to exhibit in the festival accompanied by the restoring the situation of plant scene in Lingnan Garden as the background. It can make you feel like on-site of Lingnan Garden to admire the plantation.
如上所述，盆景是嶺南庭園的特點之一。我們從網上購買了盆景，也打算從學校園藝組借來一些盆栽植物放置在還原了嶺南庭園放置植物的場景作展示，希望能夠讓觀眾有親歷其境之感。
