澳大利亚仙人掌花园/Jim Hall

英文名称：Australian Botanical Cactus Garden

工程内容：实景照片

位置：澳大利亚

设计师：Jim Hall

今天，我们园林景观的专栏记者Georgina Reid与设计师Jim Hall进行了一次谈话，Jim Hall是此次项目中仙人掌花园的主要设计师。他培养下的仙人掌花园长势茂盛，位于维多利亚州的Strathmerton地区，该园林里大约有超过3000个不同种类的仙人掌。据悉，该园林已经成为澳大利亚最大的仙人掌收藏林。

Jim Hall将他大部分的时间都用于这些植物的培育上。园林面积大约为130英亩，里面有蔬菜，花草。其中大约有10英亩的场地种上了仙人掌或者是培育仙人掌的温室，这是Jim Hall最自豪的地方，也是他一直以来的愿望。Jim Hall非常喜欢植物。他说，“这似乎是遗传一样，我的家族上下都非常喜欢园艺。我的曾祖父是一个园艺师，它在英国有一块地产。我的曾祖母是一个果树栽培学家，在墨尔本的一家苗圃工作。”Jim Hall对于园林的爱可以说是狂热的，从他小时候便开始收集仙人掌，并将之发展成一个园林。

Today our gardens columnist Georgina Reid chats to Jim Hall, whose cactus garden and nursery Cactus Country in Strathmerton in Victoria has around 3000 different species on display, making it the largest collection of cacti in Australia!

If Jim Hall had his way, his entire 130 acre vegetable farm in Strathmerton, Victoria, would be covered in cactus. The current 10 acres occupied by his cactus garden and retail nursery Cactus Country is clearly not enough for a man of Jim’s passion and vision!Jim has always loved plants. ‘The gardening gene runs through my family. My great-great-grandfather was a gardener for a large estate in England and my grandfather was an orchardist, and grew vegetable seedlings in a nursery in Melbourne,’ he says. John Hall was a very keen gardener, and started collecting cactus when Jim was a child.
