Association for Horticulture, Landscape Gardening and Sports Field Construction Baden-Wuerttemberg
Experiencing the coming and going of the seasons intensively, sowing and harvesting, observing birds and other animals, all this is beneficial for body and soul, no matter at what age.
Intergenerational gardens are hideaways that invite you to play, have fun and share. Garden parties, where young and old organize and celebrate together, are pure joy, which one does not have to do without in any phase of life.
For an age-appropriate restructuring one should ask oneself early, which kind of the use is important to one in the future. Which jobs are still fun, which will be too difficult or will be even more difficult in the long run? Can the kitchen garden be converted into a raised bed and who mows the lawn?
The garden of the LebensPhasenHaus is therefore specially adapted to the needs of the older generation, but it could also have been created with a sandpit, swing and football pitch, so that over the years it could successively adapt to the changed conditions of use of its residents.
A juneberry, hydrangeas, grasses and shrubs welcome residents and guests in the front garden - the house's calling card - and accompany them along the ramp, which guarantees barrier-free access. A spacious terrace forms the central area of the cosy living garden, which is structured by wall elements and native hedge woods. The shrub beds are planted with easy-care species and the espalier apples can be harvested easily by young and old. The ladling fountain serves as a cooling water basin on hot days - an attractive eye-catcher. The wheelchair-accessible raised bed enables the comfortable and back-friendly cultivation of fresh vegetables and herbs. Function and aesthetics are perfectly combined here in a harmonious barrier-free overall concept.
The green is particularly easy to care for thanks to technical innovations such as the Automover, an "electronic sheep" that always ensures a perfectly cut lawn, an integrated irrigation system that eliminates the need to carry heavy watering cans, and a sophisticated lighting system that not only ensures optimum safety but also a romantic evening atmosphere. Thus, this garden still offers full enjoyment even in old age and ensures a high quality of life.
It was built by trainees from eight gardening and landscaping companies in the region under the leadership of the Zanger company in Hechingen. The planning department of the company Garten-Moser in Reutlingen was responsible for the design of this garden complex.
The listing of all recognized specialized enterprises, which are organized in the federation garden, landscape and sports field construction Baden-Wuerttemberg registered association, helps with the search for the correct experts with beautiful ideas and concepts for unusual gardens. An early and thoughtful planning provides for real recovery and genuine benefit.
