Garden Planting: Three Layers of High, Medium, and Low

A tropical garden viewed from indoors. The planting is clearly divided into three layers: the upper layer consists of several tall palm trees or frangipani, with slender trunks and canopies above the eaves; the middle layer is large-leaved banana plants and monsteras, filling the eye-level height; the lower layer is low-growing ferns and ground cover, covering the ground. Gaps are left between the three layers allowing views through. The ground is covered with gravel and stepping stones. Avoid: arranging plants into neat flowerbeds and hedges, using brightly flowering ornamental plants, making the planting so dense that it's completely impenetrable, adding artificial paving other than lawn.

一片從室內看出去的熱帶庭園。植栽分成清楚的三層:上層是幾株高大的棕櫚或雞蛋花,樹幹細瘦、樹冠在屋簷之上;中層是大葉的芭蕉與龜背芋,填滿視線高度;下層是低矮的蕨類與地被,覆蓋地面。三層之間留有可以看穿的空隙。地面是碎石與踏石。避免:把植栽種成整齊的花壇與綠籬、使用開花鮮豔的觀賞花卉、讓植栽密到完全看不穿、加入草坪以外的人工鋪面。
