简介

《鸟港农场》是对美国当代杰出私人花园之一的四季摄影探索。这座历史悠久的100英亩农场是“花园保护协会开放日”巡游的固定展点，在其主人Janet Mavec的远见卓识下被带入现代，赋予了新的时代感。保护和提升这片充满故事和自然美景的庄园，是主人二十年来倾注的心血。Mavec邀请了许多知名的园艺界名人，共同保护这座最初由《南希·德鲁》神秘小说出版商拥有的农场，使其在21世纪既实用、丰产又美丽。如今，一系列独立的花园坐落于天然洼地之中，周围环绕着原生林地，包括以俏皮的云状修剪黄杨树篱为特色的开阔聚会空间、紫丁香和山茱萸林、受中世纪修道院启发的石墙菜园与花园、蜿蜒的多年生植物小径、每年秋天可产五百多磅苹果的果园、生机盎然的天然池塘，以及一个用于收获干草的椭圆形山坡草地。所有景致都自然引向“城镇广场”——一个位于居住空间之间的开放区域，其中心宽阔的地面喷泉标志着这里是农场真正的心脏。书中提供了大量关于如何以生态适宜的方式管理土地并充分享受其丰饶的灵感和鼓励，还包括使用农场种植或本地采购食材的季节性菜单。全书由摄影师Ngoc Minh Ngo用彩色照片艺术化地记录，引导读者游览花园的每个区域，欣赏其风景如画的远景和可爱细节。

Bird Haven Farm is a four-season photographic exploration of one of America's preeminent contemporary private gardens. This historic 100-acre farm, a regular stop on the Garden Conservancy's Open Days tours, has been brought into the modern era with a new sense of time by its owner Janet Mavec. Preserving and enhancing this estate, which is brimming with stories and natural beauty, has been a twenty-year labor of love. Mavec has enlisted an array of noted names from the horticultural world to preserve the farm, originally owned by the publisher of the Nancy Drew mystery novels, for the twenty-first century—making it productive, bountiful, and beautiful. Today, an array of distinct gardens sits in natural swales and is surrounded by native woodlands, including an open entertaining space featuring whimsical cloud-pruned boxwood hedges; a lilac and dogwood grove; a medieval cloister-inspired walled kitchen and cutting garden; a winding path of perennials; an orchard that yields over five hundred pounds of apples every fall; flourishing natural ponds; and an oval hillside meadow for haying. The landscape leads naturally to the "town square," an open area between living spaces, with a broad ground-level fountain in its center that signifies that this is the heart of the farm. Packed with inspiration and encouragement on how to manage land in an ecologically sound way and enjoy its bounty to the fullest, this volume includes seasonal menus using farm-grown or locally sourced ingredients. Artfully documented in color photographs by Ngoc Minh Ngo, this book guides readers around each area of the garden, taking in its picturesque vistas and charming details.
