With nearly two dozen beautiful hanging baskets sporting a stunning array of coloured begonias, Joe Robinson's garden is the envy of his neghbours.
擁有差不多24盆種著驚艷、五彩繽紛的海棠花的美麗掛籃，喬羅賓森的花園一直都被鄰居們嫉妒著。

But while the 74-year-old's efforts draw compliments from friends and complete strangers, Joe will never see the fruits of his labours - he is completely blind.
然而盡管這位74歲老人的努力得到了朋友甚至是陌生人的贊嘆，喬永遠都看不到自己勞動的果實——他完全失明了。

Joe lost his sight completely after developing an eye condition 20 years ago but his green-fingers didn't lose their touch.
喬的眼睛20年前出現(xiàn)問題后，完全失去了視力，但是他“勤勞愛植物”的雙手卻不想失去觸碰綠葉的機會。

He creates his pride and joy in the village of Crook, County Durham, using only his sense of smell and touch and has even won awards for his efforts.
他在英國達勒姆郡的克魯克鄉(xiāng)村里創(chuàng)造了自己的驕傲和快樂，而且是只憑借嗅覺和觸覺就做到了，他的努力還使他得了一些獎。

Former factory worker Joe said: 'When I became totally blind it never occurred to me to stop - although I can’t see what I’m doing, I work by sense of touch and smell.
喬以前是一位工廠工人，他說：“當我完全失明以后，從沒有想過停止，盡管我不能看到我做的事，但我可以依靠觸覺和嗅覺?！?/div>

'At first I did worry I wouldn’t be able to grow things so well but people come from all over to see the garden, we even had a couple from New Zealand drop in recently.'
“起初我確實擔心過我可能不能再好好種東西了，不過人們從各地過來欣賞花園，最近還有一對來自新西蘭的夫婦拜訪我們?！?/div>

Joe's wife Heather is allergic to flowers so is unable to help in the garden, but the couple's grandson Jamie hangs the baskets and helps tidy the garden.
喬的妻子希瑟對花過敏，因此她無法幫忙照料花園，但是這對老夫婦的孫子杰米會幫助掛花籃以及清理花園。
