Her gardens start with a drawing. She sees the garden as a living organism, as an ever changing space. Feelings and intuition are translated in to a growing green oasis of a country garden, city garden, front garden or terrace. The secret of her success is in the simplicity of her designs. For her the ethical side is equally important as the aesthetical side of the design. The object of her design are plants-living creatures that need constant care. When designing a garden there are many aspects to be considered - colour, light, shape, smell... There has to be a harmony between the user and the garden. She was a pioneer of garden design in Slovenia. Most of her gardens are naturalistic. They look like they are a part of nature. Common taste and trends change, but all gardens that she has designed have a part of her personality, therefore they can not go out of fashion. In more than sixty years long carer she has mostly designed private informal gardens. In the beginning of the sixties she designed two larger public gardens. The park at villa Tartini and the park for the Slovene forest institute. Evan today she still designs gardens and cooperates with garden magazines. All of her work has a youthful charm. She has successfully combined the formal knowledge of garden architecture and practical knowledge acquired during the years. Juta Krulc is a remarkable person. Her philosophy on life,humans and nature is timeless. She communicates thru gardens, gently she opens our eyes for hidden details that would otherwise be missed. With that she is changing us. She fills our lives with joy. Her work is a mix of inspiration, precision and art. On her ninetieth birthday we wanted to pay our tribute to her and her work. |
