美国·波特兰的利奇植物园

从2015年开始，土地形态学领导制定了利奇植物园（Leach Botanical Garden）的战略总体规划，这是波特兰公园和娱乐城占地16英亩的花园。位于波特兰东南部的多期总体规划项目将从根本上改变植物园。

Beginning in 2015, Land Morphology led the development of a strategic master plan for Leach Botanical Garden, a 16-acre garden for the City of Portland Parks & Recreation. Located in southeast Portland, the multi phase Master Plan project will fundamentally transform the botanical garden.

▽花园小屋

19世纪以前，当地人在约翰逊河打猎、钓鱼和露营，这条河将现在的花园一分为二。在19世纪下半叶，这里属于一家木材加工厂，该厂提供的木材用于建造房屋。1931年，约翰和利拉·利奇收购了该地产的一部分。药剂师约翰和出色的植物学家莉，拉致力于培育一个私人花园，用来展示他们对植物的迷恋。威尔伯特·戴维斯（Wilbert Davies）后来著名的加州景观设计师，被利奇家族聘请来制定景观规划。这些计划只执行了一部分，在利奇夫妇去世后，这处房产最终被赠与波特兰市。

Before the 1800s, native people hunted, fished, and camped along Johnson Creek, which bisects the property that now defines the garden. In the second half of the 19th century, the property was part of a sawmill furnishing lumber to build homes in Portland. In 1931, John and Lilla Leach acquired a portion of the property. John, a pharmacist, and Lilla, an accomplished botanist, devoted their energies to cultivating a private garden that showcased their fascination with plants. Wilbert Davies, who later became a notable California-based landscape architect, was retained by the Leach family to develop landscaping plans. The plans were only partly carried out, and following the deaths of the Leachs, the property was eventually gifted to the City of Portland.

第一阶段的重点是开发上部花园，并在其与下层、房屋和历史花园之间建立联系。工作分为三个主要活动：1设计开发和授权流程；2上层花园开发的现场开发许可证和施工文件；3施工18个月。第一阶段约7英亩。该项目由土地形态学指导下的多学科团队领导，包括广泛的顾问：建筑师Olson Kundig；十二名专业次顾问；利奇花园之友；一个14人的社区咨询委员会；以及波特兰市第一阶段确定花园的部分空间框架，并提出了商业计划，包括实施和融资策略。

Phase 1 focused on developing the upper garden and establishing connections between it and the lower, house and historic garden, garden. Work is organized into three principle activities: 1) Design Development and Entitlement Processes ; 2) Site Development Permits and Construction Documents for Upper Garden Development ; and 3) eighteen months of construction. The first phase is approximately seven acres. The project, led by a multi-disciplinary team under the direction of Land Morphology, included a wide range of consultants: Olson Kundig, as architects; twelve specialist subconsultants; the Leach Garden Friends; a 14-person Community Advisory Committee; and the City of Portland. This first phase defined a partial spatial framework for the garden and addressed the business plan, including implementation and funding strategies.

第一阶段是一个新的步道系统，它重新组织了花园体验。花园中的特殊元素包括一棵400英尺长的空中树，穿过西部雪松和道格拉斯冷杉的原生森林，俯瞰原始的利奇庄园和约翰逊溪；三大植物群落(传粉者草甸、林地山坡、西南花园)；后期将包括六个展示花园，包括标志性的物理、高山、沼泽和水生环境。总体规划沿着文化和生态地带组织，通过新的表现形式，发扬创始人对环境管理的承诺，从而保护了创始人的遗产。半英亩的传粉者草地拥有240个独特的分类群或不同的植物品种。授粉者草地将提供一个生态环境，吸引授粉昆虫和鸟类前来观赏。该计划还概述了场地改善和基础设施的方案设计，如未来阶段的所有公用设施、雨水管理、停车场和新结构，包括用于活动的卫生间和炉边露台。炉边露台是一个开放式结构，有一个坚固的屋顶，可以欣赏到树木散步的景色。露台设有大型消防设施，可用于上课和出租。

Integral to Phase 1 is a new system of trails that reorganizes the garden experience. Among the specific elements within the garden is a 400-foot-long aerial tree walk through a native forest of western cedar and Douglas fir overlooking the original Leach manor house and Johnson Creek; a series of three botanic collections (Pollinator Meadow, Woodland Hillside, Southwest Garden); later phases will include six display gardens, which include iconic physic, alpine, fen, and aquatic settings. Organized along cultural and ecological transects, the master plan preserves the founders’ legacy by carrying forward their commitment to environmental stewardship through new and expressive forms. The half-acre Pollinator Meadow features 240 unique taxa or different plant varieties. The Pollinator Meadow will provide an ecology to attract pollinating insects and birds to be viewed and interpreted for visitors. The plan also outlines schematic design for site improvements and infrastructure, such as all utilities for future phases, stormwater management, parking, and new structures, which include restrooms and a fireside terrace used for events. The Fireside Terrace is an open structure with a solid roof with views out to the tree walk. The Terrace includes a large fire feature and be used for classes and rental opportunities.

土地形态创始人兼项目负责人理查德·哈特拉格(Richard Hartlage)说：“总体规划抓住了生态和文化价值，这将是波特兰东南部的一笔财富。它将教育游客，同时作为波特兰居民的区域景点——更不用说对当地旅游业的好处了，”

“The Master plan captures ecological and cultural values that will be an asset to Southeast Portland. It will educate visitors while serving as a regional attraction for Portland residents—not to mention the benefits to local tourism,” notes Richard Hartlage, Land Morphology founder and Principal in charge of the project.

土地形态设计负责人和项目经理林赛·海勒（Lindsey Heller）指出：“在经历了所有的合作、努力、愿景和障碍之后，看到上花园第一期开发项目的实施是令人兴奋的。利奇花园与波特兰东南部的新开发项目完美契合，是一个令人兴奋的机会，可以庆祝新项目，与过去重新联系，并为未来提供动力。”

“It is exciting after all of the collaboration, hard work, visioning, and hurdles to see implementation of Phase 1 development for the Upper Garden. Perfectly aligned with the new development happening in Southeast Portland, Leach Garden is an exciting opportunity to celebrate the new, reconnect with the past, and provide momentum for the future,” notes Lindsey Heller, Land Morphology’s Design Principal and Project Manager.
