When cici was a child, he lived in Shikumen, Shanghai. At that time, every family had a sun table.

She has been growing flowers and fish with her grandfather next door since she was a child.

In the osmosis, gradually learned a lot of knowledge of growing flowers, but also fell in love with growing flowers.

As an adult, she has her own family and work, and every day she is busy taking care of her young master (cici's son) and her job.

(the picture shows the son of cici, the young master)

The childhood of growing flowers and fish only reminds me in my spare time that things changed in 2017.

That year, the Ciciers bought a penthouse duplex with two 80-square-meter terraces.

Looking at the empty terrace, she came up with the idea of building a small sky garden, which can not only realize her garden dream, but also allow her family to rest and entertain, but also let her son come into contact with flowers, birds, fish and insects from an early age, and experience the fun of his childhood.

When I first checked in, the patio was still a mess, full of rubbish, and the walls were covered with dirt. The balcony belongs to the public space. If the terrace is renovated, it is necessary to take into account the normal life of the neighbors downstairs and avoid the vents and sewers of the whole building, so the ground and walls cannot be damaged.

After thinking about it, cici felt that he might as well take a concise style, which would be beneficial to the existing conditions and would not make any major changes. After thinking about it, dry it, repaint the dirty old walls, and cover the floor with anticorrosive wood floor.

The main reason for building a rooftop garden is to sit in the garden and chat with her family in her spare time, and have dinner and look at the stars in the evening, so she first buys tables, chairs and umbrellas.

In order to make it more convenient to eat in the evening, she installed a row of solar induction lights on the walls of the terrace. As soon as the lights are turned on at night, the atmosphere becomes romantic!

Considering that the terrace is fully open, when there are too many flowers, there will certainly be a lot of birds to "steal", so she installed several bird repellents on the terrace. The red bird repellent also adds color to the terrace.

The young master likes sports, so she made a mini golf tee for him on the terrace. The little man's grip is very standard!

In addition to the purchase of Fangfeng flower racks, the wooden flower racks on the terrace are all made by cici and his family, who work together, and the boring manual work becomes interesting!

When making flower racks, the young master also helped a lot. He made cici's succulent flower racks, and the serious young master is the most handsome!

There are more windy days in Shanghai. In order to prevent the gale from blowing the terrace into a mess, the flower racks are made of heavy solid wood, which costs a lot of money.

During the construction of the rooftop garden, apart from homes and companies, the flower market became the most frequented place for cici.

Sunflower, Marguerite, daisy, coral cherry, rose, blue snowflake, camellia, rhododendron, gardenia, morning glory. Gradually appeared in every corner of the patio.

It is not an easy thing to take care of nearly a hundred pots of flowers. Watering alone is a big project. But fortunately, the young master will help water it when he is free.

At first, cici only dared to ask his son to help water the flowers. Now, he has learned to trim flowers and has been promoted to be a little gardener.

In order to make the young master realize the hard work of the farmer's uncle, cici also set aside a special area on the terrace for his son to experience growing vegetables.

The small vegetable garden made the young master experience the hard work of a farmer. When it was time for friends to have dinner, the young master proudly put the vegetables and fruits he had grown with his own hands on the table.

In addition to construction, she also built her family's glass solar house into a small leisure greenhouse.

In her spare time, she likes to stay here, drink tea in a daze and watch the sky enjoy the flowers.

After the balcony flowers bloom, cut a few branches and insert them in a vase. There is a lot of literature and art in the greenhouse!

When the height of summer comes, it becomes a succulent summer resort.

After a year of transformation, the terrace now looks like a garden, with flowers blooming every day.

In spring and early summer, succulent plants occupy the small tables on the terrace, and the flesh that basks in the sun is chubby one by one.

Cici said that now he seems to be living an old age ahead of time.

Although I have to be busy with flowers every day.

But watching the flowers bloom, the vegetables and fruits are ripe and full of joy

The rooftop garden made cici realize his dream of garden.

It also gives my son a chance to get close to natural flowers and plants.

Who says life is only in the present?

Cici brought the poem and the distance to his eyes.
