Ralph Bristow：“巴维特（Barwite ）花园”是一个占地3英亩的野生多年生植物园，这里曾经是一个养牛场。花园位于澳大利亚维多利亚州东北部乡村的布罗肯河（Broken River）畔，附近有河流、山崖、瀑布，四周环绕着山丘、围场和灌木丛。
Ralph Bristow : “The Barwite Garden” is a 3 acre wild perennial garden, born from a former cattle paddock, set in Barwite on the banks of the Broken River, with a river escarpment, a waterfall, surrounded by hills, paddocks and bush in rural Northeast Victoria, Australia.
设计师Ralph Bristow表示：“我不愿把花园描述为一个‘项目’，它反而是一件艺术作品，更类似于绘画、音乐或诗歌，其中，植物是重要的媒介。这是我自己的私人花园，也是我在创造和设计花园方面的一个案例，无论是在农村还是城市环境中设计花园，我都会如此对待。现在我和我的伴侣及女儿们住在这里，花园可通过预约或对公众开放时进行参观。除了菜园外，花园里的所有工作都是由我自己打理。”
I wouldn’t describe the garden as a ‘Project’ but rather as a work of art, more akin to painting, music or poetry, where plants are the medium. It is my own private garden which serves as an example of what I do in terms of creating and designing gardens, be it in a rural or urban setting. I live here with my partner and daughters. The garden is visited by appointment or when open to the public. All work in the garden with the exception to the vegetable garden is undertaken by myself.
▽设计师和他的花园 Ralph Bristow
“我并没有采取传统的或典型的方法来设计这个花园。相较而言，这是一个创造性的实验，同时给我自己和他人提供了一个关于植物在实践和精神上的认知。植物于我而言是神圣的。我在设计中没有绘制任何图纸，而是通过利用我的园林设计知识、植物知识和我作为艺术家（画家）的技能，并花时间在这个空间里，顺应地形，构建景观，思考人们将如何穿过这片场地，并将建筑放置于景观中，从而最终形成花园的布局。
植物的选择和它们的组合方式是在我正式使用它们的时候构想出来的，我知道这些植物在四季之中的变化和表现，并基于此来进行植物配置。随着花园的生长，它会变得更有表现力，会告诉我如何应对可能需要的变化。让花园中的植物自发性生长是至关重要的，但这要建立在对花园的每个方面都经过周全考虑的基础之上。花园中的硬景很少，自然和植物才是其中的重点。我想在建筑、我自身和周围的自然环境之间建立起和谐的对话，本地动物如袋鼠、沙袋鼠、袋熊、鸟类、青蛙、蜥蜴、蛇、昆虫、针鼹鼠等都被考虑在花园和环境的融合设计中，此外野生动物如鹿和兔子也同样会纳入考虑。”
My approach in terms of designing this garden hasn’t been conventional or typical. It is an experiment in a creative sense whilst giving myself and others an education in what plants give practically and spiritually. Plants to me are sacred. No drawings have been done. I have made my decisions in laying out the garden by utilising my knowledge of garden design, plants and my skills as an artist (a painter), spending time in the space, responding to the lay of land, framing views, thinking about how one traverses the area and seating the buildings into the landscape.
The selection of plants and how they are combined is imagined as I get them, knowing how they behave throughout the seasons is utilised also in their placement. As the garden evolves it becomes very much more expressive in telling me what to do in response to changes that may be required. Spontaneity reigns supreme. But every aspect of the garden is deeply considered. There is also a substantial vegetable garden. Hardscape is minimal with the emphasis being on the natural and plants. There had to be a harmonious conversation between what has been created by the buildings, myself and the surrounding natural environment. Indigenous fauna such as kangaroos, wallabies, wombats birds, frogs, lizards, snakes, insects, echidnas are all considered also in this fusion of garden and landscape whilst also dealing with feral fauna such as deer and rabbits.
“植物是我的偏爱。花园里的大部分植物都是多年生植物，但也有一些树木、灌木和澳大利亚本土植物组团。花园随着夏季和秋季的开花高峰期而不断变化，在其中的每一天都充满了乐趣。虽然花园的花期期间景象非常壮观，但我还想特别强调的是其中暗藏的能量流动和自然的节奏，就如同它在与灌木丛、河流和山丘一起在歌唱，具有生命的韵律。
这是通过树叶、草和花朵本身所形成的柔软的‘建筑’和‘结构’所传达出来的特质。例如，茎、种穗、花瓣和花序，可以捕捉风、光、影，从而赋予植物不同的质地和律动感，并通过整个区域内的成片种植或单独种植，随季节的变化而表现出来。植物色彩、质感和枝叶的重复性出现确保了一种自然的感觉，让在花园中的每一天都能收获意外的喜悦和欢乐。这使得花园可以作为一个整体或宏观领域来体验，可以给人带来一种沉浸在一个无以言表的深沉、壮美和崇高的亲密空间中的感觉。当人们进入花园时，纷繁的景象会令其忘却自己从何处而来，可以一整天沉浸在不同区域的植物世界之中。这是我在为客户设计和打造花园时的原则和做法。”
“花园存在的时间非常短，植物在某些地区已生长了3年，但大部分都只有1-2年左右。由于植物的选择和理想的土壤条件，花园的生长变化令人印象深刻。栖居在花园中的野生动物数量明显增多。生命的丰富多样性是值得我们关注的，这是一个可以找到与我们自己和大自然联系的地方。以上所有都是我想给参观巴维特花园的人和邀请我设计花园的客户所呈现的品质和体验。”
Plants are my particular passion. There is a perennial plant palette that holds the majority of the garden but there are a mix of trees, shrubs and native Australian plants also used. There is interest in the garden every day of year as it changes constantly with peak flowering through Summer, Autumn. Whilst the flowering aspect of garden is magnificent, I particularly want to emphasise a flow of energy and rhythm in the garden that sings with the bush, river and hills.
This is conveyed with the soft architectural, structural qualities given by foliage, grasses and the actual structures of the flowers themselves. For example, the stems, seed heads, petals, inflorescences capture wind, light, shadow, give texture and rhythm. Planted in groups and individually throughout the area and being expressed as the seasons dictate. The repetition of colour, textures and leaves ensure a sense of the natural with unexpected moments of joy and surprise being revealed on a daily basis. This allows the garden to be experienced as a broad gesture en masse or in the macro realm, giving the people a sense of being immersed in a space of incredible depth, beauty and sublime intimacy. When people enter the garden, they forget where they have just come from and can spend a day amongst the plants and in different areas, fully engaged. The principles and practises utilised in creating this garden are used when designing a clients garden.
The garden is very young, 3years in some areas but generally around 1 – 2 years. The growth has been profound due to plant selection and wonderful soil profiles. The wildlife that resides in the garden has increased quite remarkably. The symphony of life is something to behold. A place to find connection with ourselves and nature. These are the qualities and experiences in a garden I want to give to people who visit and to clients gardens I design.
