    Art Nouveau Villa

    The Art Nouveau villa was built in 1902 for the Royal District Administrator. The present owners purchased the house in 1982 and renovated it carefully with their own hands.


    Entrance Area

    Opposite (of) the entrance door, a half-round retaining wall with benches and a fountain is built into the slope.


    Water Place

    A cool, cozy place for hot days! The water running through a channel and moved by a circulating pump provides you with evaporation coolness before it flows into a stonewall basin. Above the natural stone wall, there's a metal pavilion which is entwined by the rose "Veilchenblau" and a white wisteria.


    Pavilion

    A place that invites you to relax and spend time in a cozy atmosphere, it protects from summer rain or too much sun. Pergolas made of larch wood and entwined by old roses like "Constance Spry", "The Squire", "Winchester Cathedral" etc., (present tense verb needed here) the pavilion in two axises.


    Apple Tree with Rose

    In the old apple tree, the climbing rose "Mme Gregoire Staechelin" grows all the way to the top. In June, the rose is in full bloom. The view to this year-round blooming apple tree can be best enjoyed from the white bench.


    Water Basin

    The water basins collect the water coming from one half of the roof. In the summer, it is used for watering the garden. Swimming rose petals and the reflections of roses on the water surface are an attractive eye-catcher.


    Boule Court

    The boule court adjoins the formal garden and is bordered by dry stone walls.


    Formal Garden

    Box trees and ivy are the formal elements. Old climbing roses grow around pergolas made of iron bows. The paths and the boule court next to the formal garden are covered with a waterbound coat and are bouldered on the edges.


    Open Garden

    Since 2004, in line with the project "Open Garden", the garden opens its gates for the public on one Sunday in June during the rose-blooming session. The initiator of this project is Naturpark Münden.

    Next date: June 25, 2006


    Below you'll see some impressions from the past two years:





    I know, it's a lot, but it would be embarrassing if I'd made any stupid mistakes, and some of these sentences were really difficult to translate...

    Thanks,
    Kirsten


    Hope this helps Kirsten. The only thing I noticed was the changing of verb tenses. I believe everything is in present tense now except for the historical facts.

    Thank you very much, Debbie, your help is really appreciated!

    I'm going to edit the text now. LOL, seems I'm really stupid when it comes to tenses, but this is so different in German!

    I'm a bit helpless with this one. Which verb would you suggest? what she meant was that these two pergolas are extensions of the pavilion.
