Lisa Melberg has designed a garden around the turn-of-the-century house in the terraced village of Rotbrunna where color and form play the main role. The basic idea has been to create a sense of balance between tightly trimmed hedges and shaggy prima donnas.
A lime tree avenue leads up to the garden room in front of the entrance. Here white, silver and pale yellow tones come together. The garden is divided into different rooms that are bordered by hornbeam hedges. Gravel paths lead to the orangery at the side of the house. A circular lawn is surrounded by beds in burgundy and pink tones.
In the lower parts of the garden, perennials and roses move into more blue tones. Small boxwood hedges create tight edges to the romantic tones of magnolias, roses, peonies, foxgloves, lilies and columbines.
In one of the rooms, the tones are completely green and white, here you will find two large water mirrors, in the middle are ladies in ceramics from Lisa's ceramics workshop. Further up the garden is a large wooden greenhouse placed in an old stone ruin. In the kitchen garden, which surrounds the greenhouse and stone walls, dahlias and cut flowers coexist with vegetables and peach trees.
