Research On The Landscape Planning And Design Of The Camellia Gardens

Camellia japonica is one of the traditional flowers in China, and a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. Camellia is evergreen shrub or small tree. Camellia garden is a scenic landscape, which planted by Camellia and other plants in the specific area. it is made for the purpose of ornamental-centered, storage, colletion and cultivation. The beautiful garden with obvious regional characteristics garden is a collection of scientific research, science popularization, recreation and entertainment.In this study, we discussed the relevant concepts of Camellia and Camellia garden theoretically, and summed up the cultural connotations of Camellia. We also studied Camellia gardens in China analyzes the development situation both at home and abroad. Through in-depth analysis, we summarized the contents, designed references and principles of Camellia garden. Taking the Camellia garden of Sanyangji town in Jiangxi province for an example, we made the landscape planning and design on the basis of these theories and methods.The Camellia garden of Sanyangji town is located in Jinxian, Nanchang, Jiangxi province, near the Junshan Lake. After analyzing the location, transportation, economy, resources of Sanyangji town, and combining the on-the-spot investigations of local topography, we divided the garden into five areas by function, and they were entrance area, recreation area, research varieties exhibition area, science popularization education publicity area and Theaceae plants viewing area. Entrance area was composed of stone in main entrance, administration, colorful garden, ecological parking lot; Recreation area was mostly located in the southest and the westest regions of the Camellia garden, which included yueyi square, forest cottage, forest pasture, farmhouse, recreation square, viewing platform, pergola, mandala square and sunshine grassland; Exhibition area was divided into two parts by the main road, different categories of Camellia were planted regularly or naturally, respectively. Scientific research institute and Camellia resource pository were established for Scientific research; Publicity area was made up of Camellia culture square, Camellia culture museum and Camellia products exhibition hall; Viewing area consisted of flower cultivation and viewing area, flower terraces, curved pergola, pavilion, rest pool and tourist service center. In addition, we made a detail design of the road system, the landscape and plant disposition, and designed drawings of site plan, road and garden design and function areas. Through all these planning and design, we finally set up a Camellia garden which had rich varieties of plants and beautiful landscape, with function of both scientific research and recreation.
