在小路上安静漫步
听露水打湿鞋面
嫩枝之间，藏有平和
树木环绕，是美之显现Give the lanes your quiet steps
Listen to the dews tickling your feet
Somewhere among the twigs, there is peace
There is beauty somewhere amid the trees

第一个故事，关于春天 | The first story. About spring
首先，这里有一个房子，名为Shkrub。Serhii Makhno为自己的家庭创造了它。房屋由建筑师对日本的记忆和对真正的乌克兰住宅的梦想编织而成。宽敞明亮的空间，填充以陶瓷和记忆，由爱包裹。Shkrub为一栋当代乌克兰式住宅，是一切当地的以及传统事物的具象化。
First, there was a house. Serhii Makhno created it for his family and called it Shkrub. The style of the house is woven from memories of Japan and dreams of a real Ukrainian house — spacious and bright, filled with ceramics and memory, wrapped in love. Shkrub was built in the contemporary Ukrainian style and became the embodiment of everything native and traditional.

然后，这里有一座花园。Serhii希望在家边种一片属于自己的樱花园，让他可以和树木交谈，在蜜蜂的嗡嗡声中回忆自己的童年。
And then, there was a garden. Serhii wanted to have his own cherry orchard near the house to talk to the trees, listen to the bees buzzing and remember his childhood.

因此，在这座花园里，日本枫树和樱花树与乌克兰动物陶器以及当代艺术品相遇了。建筑师运来250吨石材，按照传统日式花园的形式铺设在场地上。在日本的认知中，人们坚信是石块本身选择了自己的所处之地。废弃的空地消失了，啁啾的鸟鸣在空间中回响。
这是一切的开始。
Thus, Japanese maples and cherry trees met traditional Ukrainian zoomorphic pottery and contemporary art. The land generously accepted 250 tons of stones arranged traditionally as in Japanese gardens — where it is believed that the stone itself must choose where to lie. So the wasteland disappeared and the birds chirped.
This is the beginning.

第二个故事，关于夏天 | The second story. About summer
阳光下，超过200个寄居在花园中的生命悠悠转醒。杜鹃花、樱花、日本枫、冷杉、金钟柏、绣球花，等等。树下是一片人工湖，鲤鱼和乌龟Vira在其中游弋玩耍。
More than 200 inhabitants of the garden wake up with the first sunbeams: rhododendron, sakura, Japanese maples, firs, thuja, hydrangeas, and their relatives. Under the trees, there is an artificial lake with carps and turtle Vira.

每个花园中的居民都遵循属于自己的法则。它们聚在一起成为了一个生态系统，带来肉体和精神上的充盈。
此为和谐。
Every resident has their own laws and rules. Together they are one ecosystem that feeds the body and spirit.
This is harmony.

第三个故事，关于秋天 | The third story. About autumn
天气转凉，叶片凋零，陶器逐渐成为了花园的主角。兔子在花园里跑来跑去，四处搜集落叶。陶瓷头像DUMA与其他曾经隐藏在树丛中的艺术品纷纷现身，相互呼应。湖水在秋风下摇曳。
此乃艺术。
It’s getting colder. The trees give way to ceramic heroes — their time has come. The designer rabbits run around the garden and collect fallen leaves. Ceramic heads DUMA resonate with heroes that no one has seen before — they are hidden somewhere between the bushes. Autumn sways the water in the lake.
This is art.

第四个故事，关于冬天 | The fourth story. About winter
没有比寂静更适合用来形容冬天的花园的词语了。
Nothing better describes a winter garden than silence.

万物沉眠，等待下一个春天苏醒。
此为美。
Everything falls asleep to wake up next spring.
This is beauty.
