Accidentally step into a fairytale garden - go to the English garden to enjoy the warm early summer

The Swiss artisans combine the beauty of flowers with the craftsmanship of clockmaking perfectly, and the flower clock composed of 6500 flowers and shrubs keeps accurate time, no matter it is sunny sun or drizzling. Over time, different flowers bloom, displaying different colors and even different patterns. The gardener also changes the variety of flowers according to the seasons. Every season come to Geneva to see the flower clock, there will be new surprises!

Different from the Chinese and Japanese gardens, the English garden is romantic, beautiful and healing, like a song in spring. The English garden is the first understanding and impression of flowers in most people's minds, and it contains all the fantasies of people's dream garden.

The English garden is mostly a large area of grass, coupled with a sparse forest or main trees, the forest and the edge of the flower border, thus forming a plain scenery. The plain scenery, which is different from the mountain scenery, gives people a sense of wide vision, openness and pleasant feeling.

The flowers and ornamental plants of different shapes in the flower border are matched together through the technique of landscape construction, forming a natural landscape with scattered heights, rich layers and gorgeous colors, adding colors and layers to the originally slightly plain scenery, and making the whole garden landscape rich and full.

The English garden pays attention to details, from the pruning of the lawn to the placement of gardening items, which reflects the pursuit of exquisite life of the British. At the same time, it also pays attention to harmonious symbiosis with the surrounding environment, reflecting the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Whether it is a summer afternoon or an autumn dusk, it is the perfect place for people to relax and enjoy life.

The garden design draws inspiration from the popular English gardening of the century, and the world-famous flower clock and National monument are also located here. You know what? The Geneva Flower clock, a symbol of Switzerland's position as the center of the world's watch industry, is also the world's plant clock with a long second hand!

In addition, there are many bronze fountains and statues among the towering trees in the garden, and a winding stream runs through the garden. Stop and go here, whether it is to enjoy the green shade and flowers, or to take a rest on the benches scattered throughout the park, it is a good choice
