Relax with Green at Open Ząbkowska (Otwarta Ząbkowska)!
On July 1st 2017, the third summer edition of OTWARTA ZĄBKOWSKA (Open Ząbkowska) festival has started. During July and August there will be a green, blooming garden open to all who will come to visit this place. The green oasis is sponsored by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Agency of Promotion of Green. SIGMA is responsible for the whole organization and media communication.
Previous editions of the festival and many conversations with people living there indicated, that there is lack of green places in this vicinity, where people could enjoy flowers and plants. The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands decided to fulfill this need and create a green garden at the place called Ząbkowska Garden. Here one can listen to chamber concerts and take part in different artistic and cultural events and relax amongst nice greenery.
– We know how living plants are important for citizens of big cities. We are surrounded by concrete constructions of houses and asphalt roads, and we lack nature from which we came and which is our biggest ally. By creating this green space we would like to give a good example and encourage others to build similar places. Plants do not only perfectly purify and humidify the air, but also cool down the temperature, enable to rest and to relax. Flowers and green plants are pleasant for our eyes and evoke positive emotions – stated Martijn Homan, Agricultural Counselor of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The place is open to everybody who wants to relax and listen to the festival concerts.
During August weekends, for those that are interested in plants and flowers, there will be floristic and gardening workshops organized by the Agency of Promotion of Green and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. On 5th and 20th of August there will be floristic workshops for those willing to try to create a hand tied bouquet or a vase composition. On 6th and 19th of August, during workshops: „Pocket gardens for everyone” people will find out more about garden planting. All those who love plants and flowers, can continue their adventure with floristics and gardening during the Green is Life and Flower Expo Poland, fairs, that will take place from 31st August till 2nd of September 2017 in Expo XXI Center in Warsaw.

"Let's be the change we want to see"
Forests are a great example of nature’s capacity to thrive in diverse conditions.
As our need for more Restorative and Regenerative land practices grows, the forest is an excellent guide for building Ecologically Sound Landscapes and food systems.
Connecting People To Each Other Through Soil Education
Food Forestry uses bio-mimicry, a regenerative and restorative solution to agroecology that imitates nature. Mimicking natural systems of a forest, decreases maintenance.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Enhancing the New Garden Plot
On 31 March 2017, 17 Community in Nature (CIN) members planted a number of plants purchased with the Garden City Fund to optimise the green spaces in school. The types of plants included Ardisia crenata, Dianella ensifolia, and Pluchea indica.
The pupils applied various skills during the session. Equipped with tools and gloves, the pupils worked in pairs to place the plants and fill the remaining spaces in the holes with soil. It required some level of precision, as they were reminded to bury the roots in alignment with the surface level of the ground. They also had to learn to keep the environs clean and tidy as part of their gardening effort. The pupils were engaged in beautifying our compound, and learnt that they too, can play a part in contributing to a greener environment.


Trinity College gardens extend for 36 acres including the well-known areas such as Great Court, Trinity Backs and Newton’s lawn, outside Great Gate, where “Newton’s Apple tree” stands.
The grand Trinity lime tree Avenue is flanked by cherry trees creating a space for spring crocus, white daffodils and red tulips. The spring here is a rather special sight followed by unspoilt flowering grasses and wildflowers, which are harvested later in the year.
There are many less well known areas such as the Fellows’ Bowling Green, an area laid out as such in 1647 but which was originally a garden for Kings Hall, one of the two colleges that were combined to form Trinity in 1546.
New Court has recently undergone a transformation and become a Spring tulip and bulb paradise and a Summer wild flower garden where College members can rest and contemplate from benches nestled under the large pink chestnut.
Across Queens Road is the 8 acre Fellows’ Garden which has impressive specimen trees, mixed borders, drifts of spring bulbs and informal lawns with large swathes of wild flowers and notable influences from Fellows over the years. It is often a quiet spot for students to relax or study.
Across the gently flowing Bin Brook to Burrell’s Field you will find some modern planting styles and plants nestled amongst the accommodation blocks in small, intimate gardens.
A Garden Committee of Fellows, plus the Head Gardener, meet regularly to monitor progress and develop new plans for the gardens.
There are about a dozen gardeners including the Head Gardener, Deputy and three Senior Gardeners. The Seniors each have responsibility for areas of the College and manage them on a day to day basis whilst the Head Gardener oversees the overall vision for the Gardens.

The Office for Community Engaged Learning will be launching a fourth Dean’s Service Scholars academic course for Fall 2021: INTM-SHU 267 The Cultivated City. This course examines the idea and practices of ‘cultivation’ in relation to the challenging environment of the 21st century city. Through field trips, readings and discussions, the class explores the concept of cultivation, and how it can be used as a basis for researching the urban ecology of Shanghai, both as a past and future city. In Fall 2021, it will focus on the context of planting an urban garden at NYU Shanghai's new campus in Qiantian. Students will work on a service project designed to help build community and participate in the creation of an inspiring outdoor landscape for our future home. Apply now for limited spots here.

Speech by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong at the Opening of Rifle Range Nature Park on 12 November 202212 Nov 2022
My Parliamentary Colleagues Desmond Lee, Sim Ann, and Shawn Huang
CEO of NParks,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good morning, and it is very good to join all of you today for this opening of Rifle Range Nature Park.
It has been some time since I had the chance to do an event like this out in nature. It used to be one of my favourite activities when I was in MND. Indeed, I had the chance to announce this plan for Rifle Range Park when I was at MND, so it is extra meaningful to be back here again for this opening.
Green spaces like this are an integral part of our city. Places are open for all to enjoy and take respite from the hustle of our daily lives and they help to refresh and uplift our human spirit.
We saw this vividly during the last three years of the pandemic, amidst the circuit breaker, the heightened alerts and travel restrictions, many Singaporeans and people in Singapore spent more time in our nature reserves and parks, as well as park connectors. From catching a breath of fresh air, to exercising, or simply quietly observing nature, record numbers of Singaporeans young and old used our parks and park connectors, and green spaces. Some discovered them for the first time. Others realised how precious and special they were, and how we should be cherishing these places much more.
So, it is really not an exaggeration to say that green spaces helped Singaporeans to get through those difficult times of the pandemic.
In many other countries, residents have the benefit of a vast, untouched countryside which they can retreat to. But we do not have that luxury here in Singapore where our land is scarce and limited, with so many competing demands. We need to build more homes, certainly more HDB flats which we are doing very quickly, to keep public housing affordable. We need to develop our commercial and industrial areas, to create more jobs and opportunities for our people. So how do we strike this balance? Despite all these competing demands, we have made sure not to compromise our green spaces. In fact, we have expanded our green spaces and green connectors, and we have protected our nature reserves – Singapore’s most ecologically diverse and important areas.
Rifle Range Nature Park illustrates our commitment to this. This place used to be a granite quarry, with a kampung on its fringe. Later, it hosted the Singapore Gun Club and its Rifle Range – which is how this area got its name. Today, we have enhanced this space and turned it into a nature park. NParks has replanted native rainforest trees, and turned the former granite quarry into a thriving freshwater habitat. And it stands as an example of how we can prioritise green spaces in Singapore and establish new ones wherever we can.
Something we should all note too is that this is our first new nature park since the start of the pandemic. So, I hope it stands as a symbol of better things to come in the years ahead. The work for this park was delayed by Covid-19, but now our plans have come to fruition. The park spans 66 hectares, it is a large nature park, with a wide diversity of plants and wildlife, be it civets, colugos, flying squirrels, and the critically-endangered Sunda Pangolins! And to help Singaporeans and residents explore all of this, NParks has created 7km of trails and boardwalks catering to people of all ages and abilities. Many of these trails retrace the paths that have been left by kampung villagers in the 50s. There are also trails for children, there are barrier-free routes for people with disabilities, and there is viewing deck, nearly 10 storeys high, which gives a bird’s eye view of the area. So, I hope everyone will come explore Rifle Range Nature Park, and enjoy all it has to offer.
Let me also acknowledge our partners, who have made valuable contributions to make this nature park a reality. As you explore the grounds later today, you will find many trees that were planted by the Friends of Bukit Timah, members of the nature community, as well as residents, grassroots leaders and students from this area. All of these efforts are tremendous and they were generously supported by HSBC Singapore, which helped sponsor the saplings that were planted here. I understand that from next year onwards, the WWF Singapore will be offering free monthly guided tours here too. A big thank you to everyone for your support. We could not have done it without you. Thank you very much.
With this opening, we now have eight nature parks lining our central nature reserves. They serve as a buffer to the rich biodiversity in our nature reserves’ inner habitats, and therefore provide a gentle transition from the nature reserves to our urban areas. When you take all of these together, the central nature reserves and the eight nature parks surrounding it, we have an area that spans more than 3,500 hectares, which is nearly 5% of the Singapore landmass.
And we are not yet done greening Singapore.
We are pressing ahead with our plans to further green our city, and make it a City in Nature.
In the coming years, we have plans to develop another five more nature parks. We will continue to plant more trees across Singapore, to cool and beautify our urban environment.
And we will find more innovative ways to integrate nature into our city and bring Singaporeans closer to nature, so that every home, no matter where you stay in Singapore, can be within a 10-minute walk of a park. This is how we can build greener and better homes for everyone.
We need your support to make these plans a reality, because in the end, this tiny little island of Singapore belongs to all of us. This is our home, and it is up to us to shape the Singapore we want for our future. So, I encourage everyone to join us as partners on this journey forward. Let us work together to make Singapore, our city in nature, the best home for ourselves, our families and our loved ones, for today and for many more generations to come. Thank you very much.

Here are some ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ (FAQ) related to my Gardening services.
Yes there is work to do in every season.
Autumn is harvest time and bulbs for spring are planted out, summer bedding replaced and pruning back perennials. Winter is for pruning of trees, roses, climbers such as wisteria and grape vines, as well as planting of shrubs and trees. Spring is ideal for feeding and scarifying lawns and of course preparing for the summer. In the summer months there is often so much happening that I can be doing anything from weeding, to planting summer bedding, mowing and training climbers and plants to grow in the right way.
Each garden is so varied that there is no one size fits all. For gardens with shrubs, hedging or flower beds usually I visit these gardens a little more regularly. Gardens which have a lawn or gravel areas are maintained as necessary. This can be discussed to ascertain what is required.
Yes, in each season there are flexible working arrangements and I operate an appointment system if that is more convenient.
I have a system which means that if I get very busy I hire an assistant. This is usually another female.
Yes I am only insured to use my personal tools.
Most work is chargeable by the hour unless discussed in advance. This starts at £25 per hour.
Yes, this is at an extra cost, to reflect time and waste management.
If you have any other questions or need more clarity, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I would be delighted to hear from you.

- Controller Settings – With one extra cycle in the controller can mean up to $300 extra water cost. The controller can be easily misadjusted which in turn will cause significant problems. Another lawn sprinkler repair problem your controller is extremely outdated, and in desperate need for an update. The savings are amazing if you update your controller with a wifi lawn sprinkler controller. Our lawn sprinkler technicians can install leak detectors with sms elerts.
- Valves – Valves are silent bombs. Leaking valves slowly start leaking not closing up all the way leaving water to run through the sprinkler system slowly with a small unnoticed water trickle. This can go unnoticed for months if not inspected by a trained lawn sprinkler professional. Valves are common lawn sprinkler problems we see on a daily basis.
- Mainline Leaks – We’ve noticed mainline leaks as small as a pinprick on a pvc line. Overtime this problem can add up in cost if not identified early. Again only an experienced lawn sprinkler contractor can help identify these type leaks. Main line leaks are the most water consuming problems, because was the water does not stop running until the your main house shut off is turned off.
- Overuse Of Sprinklers – This is a problem that is always overlooked or not even considered. We always recommend reducing sprinklers, and increase coverage with less sprinklers. This saves money on water, wear and tear, and less maintenance time.
- Drip Lines Leaks – Drip line only works if all the line is fully pressurized. With one single tear or leak, the rest of the line fails to deliver water to the other sections of the line. Again vitaly important that a trained lawn sprinkler professional checks the system to capture this problem.
Upgrade your lawn sprinkler system today with a Wi-Fi smartphone controller; install leak text alerts and soil sensors.

Retaining walls coupled with our duel drainage systems are proven to physically block, and divert water flow (in ground water and surface water) away from houses and discharge into a stormwater system or soft landscape. Examples of this are underneath houses, behind houses or garages, or on sloping blocks of land.


Topic: Landscapes of valuation
Keywords: land, valuation, property, conservation, national parks
When thinking about the countryside, most people associate different values with the land and soil
to which it is intimately tied. We can think of land as ‘nature’ that has to be conserved and
protected, as farmland that needs to be utilised for food production or simply as public space of
rural tranquility and beauty that should be open and accessible to everyone. In our modern society,
however, these different values are often in conflict. Yet, land has become one of the most valuable
and priced assets in the contemporary economy. But how can something as contested as land be
valued, commodified and priced? Which land can be traded and which not? Which land is valuable
and which is worthless? And what role does the commodification of rural land play in the broader
context of contemporary market economies?
To answer these questions, I propose a comparative empirical case study of land valuation in two
countries with two diverging histories of land use and conservation: Germany and the UK.

Whats All The Hype?
Organic lawn Maintenance has many short term and long term benefits. Although a little more expensive at first, repeated organic lawn care can result in saving money and reducing applications of chemicals, fertilizers, and seed.
How it Works:
Organic methods of feeding a lawn or garden rely on building the soil conditions with organic matter such as manure, compost and organic fertilizers, and working with fungi and live organisms to create a better “living” environment for your grass, flowers, trees, shrubs or vegetables. Over the years the soil will build up in organic matter and need less and less applications of fertilizer, compost, manure, or chemicals as well as reduced aerations, thatching, ect.
Synthetic methods of fertilizing a lawn or garden rely on giving the grass, flowers, trees, shrubs, or garden an immediate and short lived boost of nutrients. Although this method of fertilizing can be effective and often shows quicker immediate results, it ultimately damages the soil conditions and live organisms requiring more fertilization, seeding, aeration, thatching, and overall maintenance. Many people choose this option for one of two reasons. 1.They want to save money – Organic methods are more costly upfront. 2. Their landscaper doesn’t offer organic care methods or has never spoken to their clients about the benefits organic care methods can offer.
Organic methods of lawn & yard care cause beneficial insects and bacteria to flourish in your yard. These insects and bacteria will eat harmful insects and bacteria which means less applications of chemical pesticides, insecticides, and fungicides.
Synthetic fertilizers and chemicals are harmful to children, adults, and pets. Although your yard may look good after these applications, we often don’t consider the harmful side effects it has on our loved ones. Many people today are learning the benefits of organic care methods and choosing to stay away from harmful and ultimately more costly lawn care methods.
After years of building up your soil using organic methods, you may not need to fertilize your lawn multiple times a year. The easiest way to explain why, is because unlike synthetic fertilizers, which absorb and disipate within weeks-months after application, organic fertilizing causes the soil conditions and natural fertilizers in the soil to build up and store nutrients to be released for years to come.
Contact your Landscaping Company and ask them about organic alternatives for your lawn & yard care.
2 thoughts on “Why Organic Lawn Maintenance?”
Thank you for sharing this informative blog about lawn maintenance. I completely agree with the organic technique of lawn care as we know that synthetic methods are very harmful. But still there are people who follow this synthetic method. It is really a point of concern for lawn care be it commercial lawn care or corporate one we should follow the basic organic methods.
Hey! It is like you understand my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, just like you wrote the book in it or something.

￼Landscaping Your Garden: How You Can Make Your Home Exterior Shine
Landscaping your garden can be an excellent way to improve your enjoyment of your home and add value to a property if you’re planning to sell it in the future. It is important to put thought and care into the look and style of your home’s garden and find ways to ensure that the space is enjoyable for the whole family.
The style you choose for your garden will depend on your and your family’s needs. For instance, the garden you create with young children will likely look very different from the one you landscape if your kids are grown up and off to university.
Optimise The Layout For Sunlight
Optimising your garden to make the most of the sunlight you get can be invaluable. You should look at the sun’s position and where your garden gets the best light throughout the year. You can then add decking or a patio in the space that gets the most sun so that you and your family can enjoy some rays in the warmer months. You should also ensure that you plant any flowers in spaces with plenty of sunlight.
Remove Waste Responsibly
You’ll need a suitable way to dispose of the waste you gather when landscaping your garden. The type of changes you’re making will determine the best way to store and remove waste. If you are only making minor changes, you will usually be able to fit the rubbish into your local council issued garden waste bin, or you could take it to the local waste and recycling centre. If you are doing more significant work, you may need to look for a place that offers skip hire.
Plant Seasonal Flowers
The flower you have in your garden can make all the difference to your enjoyment of the space. It is a good idea to plant flowers that will bloom at different points throughout the year, so you always have an attractive splash of colour to enjoy. It is best to choose plants native to the UK, and that will thrive in the type of weather and soil most common in your location.
Work Section By Section
Sectioning off your garden can be a great way to make the project more manageable. You could start with a section for socialising and sitting in the garden, like a patio or deck. Including some cover can be a great way to ensure you can enjoy your garden regardless of the unpredictable British weather.
Making a plan for your garden can be the perfect way to break the work into manageable chunks. This could be a family project, with each member deciding what they want from the garden and coming up with ways to make the different sections cohesive and attractive.


As a homeowner, you would want an environment-friendly surface in your backyard. Compared to hard surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and wood, law grass helps clean the air, reduce erosion from stormwater runoff, decrease noise pollution, trap carbon dioxide, and lessen temperatures. Some people plant their lawn grass by themselves, and others want to buy artificial grass for their lawn. With that, there are different perspectives on whether to grow natural lawn grass or install synthetic one.
Both may have differences, but there are instances that artificial grass can do everything like natural grass, and it has a lot of benefits compared to natural grass. In this article, you will see the comparison between natural grass and a synthetic one.
Total Cost of Ownership
If you prefer to have natural grass, you can plant seeds or, at much greater cost, lay sod. After growing a natural grass, the expenses keep going for the maintenance – equipment and supplies to mow, trim, weed, re-seed, and feed.
When you choose to install artificial grass, it may cost a bit more than a seeded lawn. However, talking about maintenance, there is little to no maintenance expense over the life of synthetic grass.
The level of care is one of the differences between artificial grass and natural grass. Natural grass requires several hours of work every week to maintain its beautiful view of your lawn.
On the other hand, artificial turf has only minimal maintenance. You only need to brush off the synthetic grass to remove fallen leaves or other organic clutter that lands on the lawn. Artificial lawns only need to rinse occasionally to remove the dust and potential odors.
As you can see, natural lawns may not cost that much, but the amount cost for the maintenance is more than how much you paid for the seeds. Artificial grass may cost more than growing natural ones. The care requirement does not cost too much because you will not need to work for several hours to maintain its beautiful view on your lawn.

The report requests approval from the Executive to adopt the Town Centre and Waterfront Public Realm Strategy Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
The SPD identifies a strategy for the enhancement of public spaces within Ipswich town centre, including the Waterfront. This includes streets, squares, quaysides, pedestrian spaces and green spaces. The strategy recommends a list of priority projects based on criteria such as cost and deliverability, and sets out some design parameters for the priority projects (though it does not provide detailed designs). Finally, it provides design guidance for the key elements of good public realm design, such as choice of paving, street furniture design and choice of street trees. It will support the implementation of adopted Ipswich Core Strategy policies DM5 and CS2, and Ipswich Vision.

|My View: Our sixth-floor apartment gives us an excellent view of a public park, G. Ross Lord Park, which is behind our building; this is one of the reasons that we decided to move here. Our street and the ones adjacent to it are all tree-lined, making for pleasant and healthier walks.|

A paper in the science journal Nature says that living in a tree-lined neighborhood is good for your health; the paper, which used the city of Toronto for its case study, says that adding 10 trees to a city block makes residents feel wealthier, healthier and, even, younger.
In “Neighborhood greenspace and health in a large urban center” (July 9, 2015), Omid Kardan, the paper’s lead author, from the University of Chicago’s department of psychology, writes:
Studies have shown that natural environments can enhance health and here we build upon that work by examining the associations between comprehensive greenspace metrics and health. We focused on a large urban population center (Toronto, Canada) and related the two domains by combining high-resolution satellite imagery and individual tree data from Toronto with questionnaire-based self-reports of general health perception, cardio-metabolic conditions and mental illnesses from the Ontario Health Study.
Results from multiple regressions and multivariate canonical correlation analyses suggest that people who live in neighborhoods with a higher density of trees on their streets report significantly higher health perception and significantly less cardio-metabolic conditions (controlling for socio-economic and demographic factors).
We find that having 10 more trees in a city block, on average, improves health perception in ways comparable to an increase in annual personal income of $10,000 and moving to a neighborhood with $10,000 higher median income or being 7 years younger. We also find that having 11 more trees in a city block, on average, decreases cardio-metabolic conditions in ways comparable to an increase in annual personal income of $20,000 and moving to a neighborhood with $20,000 higher median income or being 1.4 years younger.I think that this study confirms what many of us have intuitively known, that living in neighborhoods with many trees, including have a park nearby, makes individuals not only feel better, but also be better. I currently reside in Toronto, where this study was performed; and I currently live on a tree-lined street and in close proximity to a large expanse of green pace, G. Ross Lord Park, which has an area of 137 hectares (or 338 acres). Toronto’s largest public park is High Park, which has an area of 161 hectares (or 398 acres); we have been to it only once, but plan to visit it more often.
By comparison, Mont-Royal Park in Montreal has an area of 280 hectares (or 692 acres); and Central Park in NYC, has an area of 341 hectares (or 843 acres)—both were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted [1822–1903], landscape architect, journalist and social critic; many consider Olmstead the “Father of American Landscape Architecture.” We can thank individuals like Olmstead, who have done much to preserve nature for the benefit or urban dwellers. Parks do make a difference in the lives of its residents. If urban planners want to improve the health of their citizens, and reduce the costs of healthcare, this study is instructive: plant more trees.

Act V - Cyrano's Gazette
It is fifteen years later, in 1655, at the park of the Sisters of the Holy Cross in Paris. The park is filled with magnificent trees. On the left is the house, containing broad steps onto which open several doors. An enormous plane tree is in the middle of the stage, standing alone. On the right, among big boxwood trees, is a semicircular stone bench.
The whole background of the stage is crossed by an alley of chestnut tress leading on the right-hand side to the door of a chapel seen through the branches. Through the double row of trees of this alley are seen lawns, other alleys, clusters of trees, the winding of the park, and the sky.
The chapel opens by a little side door onto a colonnade which is wreathed with autumn leaves, and is lost to view a little farther on in the right-hand foreground behind the boxwood.
It is autumn. All the foliage is red against the fresh green of the lawns. The green boxwood and yews stand out darkly. Under each tree is a patch of yellow leaves. The stage is strewn with dead leaves, which rustle under foot in the alleys, and partially cover the steps and benches.
Between the bench on the right-hand side and the tree, a large embroidery frame is set up, in front of which is a little chair. There are baskets full of skeins and balls of wool. A tapestry has been started in the frame.
At the rising of the curtain, NUNS are walking to and fro in the park. Some are seated on the bench around an older nun. The leaves are falling.


Project leader: Ray Beldner (www.raybeldner.com); Francisco Middle School; GARDEN was led by site-specific artist Ray Beldner in collaboration with landscape architect Loretta Gargan. The artists, aided by a group of students from the San Francisco Art Institute led the entire Francisco Middle School through a planning and creation process of a garden sanctuary that would sit at the center of their school’s site. The sanctuary was conceived as a learning tool about nature, and a safe, outdoor space in a neighborhood where there were few parks. Besides the many plantings, it included many elements that students suggested: a wishing pool, murals and a circular stonewall. Members of the Levis Community Involvement Team were among the many adult volunteers from the neighborhood who made significant contributions to its creation.

Today’s (ambititious) project was redoing my mother-in-law’s rock garden in the back of her home. My father-in-law had this project created many years ago to add beauty and interest to their yard. In the picture below, you can see the part of the garden that did not need to be done.
This is the section of the garden that needed to be redone. With the torrential downpours we experienced this past summer, the water undercut upper areas of the plantings, sending lots of the soil downhill. With the continuous rains came more and more washouts. My mother-in-law spent a good deal of time shoveling and removing soil that washed down onto her patio. We told her we could fix the garden.
The first chore was to remove all of the brick chips that covered areas not covered by plants. This was a bigger chore than it sounds, as the soil that washed from above was all settled in pockets of landscape material, along with the brick chips.
We removed all of the chips, soil, and landscape material. We also took out the landscape timbers from the edge of the patio. What a mess! We had to use a garden rake to rake the brick chips out from the soil, separating them.
Tedious manual labor! We made such a mess of the patio, but we really needed to sort the soil and brick chips! Unfortunately, we didn’t have any screen to do this.
After we got the new landscape fabric cut and set in, I needed to go work at the top of the garden.
I had to replace a small sidewalk composed of 6-18″ square blocks with a brick basket weave pattern on them. This went rather easily…easily until it came to the sixth block. Gads! Up and down, up and down…I had to do the block over and over again. The sidewalk had prevoiusly been placed directly on the soil with no drainage. Hence, when the rains came, all of the rain undercut the sidewalk, washing all of the soil down the hill. We dug to a depth of 4″, placing 2″ of gravel down first. Hopefully, this will alleviate any erosion. When I finished placing those blocks, you cannot imagine my *delight*!
To keep the gravel from running out, we found a piece of landscape timber that measured exactly 36″! Wow, that was JUST what we needed! Mark was going to drill holes to stake the timber into the ground. Oops….we remembered the drill, but forgot the BITS! We found a piece of steel rod we could use. Mark hacksawed it, then formed a point in it and we drove it down into the ground.
The next step was to place the pink 8″x16″ block border next to the house. This required more cutting of the soil and shaping. Finally done! We replaced the landscape timbers below, then began replacing thebrick chips back in the garden between plants. Here is the completed project that took from about 12 noon until 6:30.

730 - Anònim
A French style boulevard in Barcelona. The Paseo de San Juan, also known by the name of Paseo de la Explanada since it is situated in the area that was left free by military order of buildings between the city and the military Citadel. The land was obtained by pulling down an important part of the district of Ribera, next to the Plaza del Borne, which had been the most dynamic economic centre of the city since medieval times.
The urbanisation of the boulevard was an initiative of the capitain Agustín de Lancaster in 1797, faced by an urgent need to create work in a moment of crisis and social unrest. It was the first boulevard created in Barcelona in a peripheral situation and was followed by others outside the walls of the city. Its planning was based on a straight line prepared for wheeled vehicles and pedestrians in which the line of trees is the main element complimented by roundabouts along its entire length and the placement of fountains, sculptures, benches etc. The urban model adopted is clearly French, within a tradition forged in the planning of the avenues of the palace gardens that were later applied to the royal roads when they reached towns and to the urban avenues. An enlightened urban planning with neoclassic tastes that attempted to improve the sanitary conditions of cities whilst beautifying them.
The view of the Paseo de la Explanada that we have here was created to commemorate its opening. The length of the engraving reflects the measurements of the promenade, 550 metres long and 47 metres wide. It was formed by 7 rows of trees, 813 specimens and as explained in the inscription at the bottom, it was decorated with cascades and water dispensers, stone benches and 48 lamp posts.
The Paseo was highly successful as a place for public recreation until its disappearance owing to the demolition of the Citadela and the later construction of the Park of the same name in the decade of the 1870s.

Grass seed and sod installation
Sod installation is a much more costly alternative to grass seed, but the prep work for both is basically the same. We buy our sod directly from the farm. It’s cut daily and loaded onto their trucks for delivery. If you only need a small amount, we load it on our trucks and bring it to you. Why pay for sod installation? Well, if you just can’t wait to get mowing, and you would like the lawn today, sod is the solution. However, be careful not to put too much traffic on new sod. Remember that it has just undergone a transplant and needs rest. Transplants on any living organism are difficult and new grass is no different.
Grass seed. This is the longer, more cost effective solution. While you won’t be mowing today or even tomorrow, the care and prep are similar. Both need plenty of water and care. We prefer to use high quality seed from Pennington, Scott’s or Rebels, however we will use any seed you would like. You can expect seedlings in 7-10 days, and real movable grass in 4-6 weeks depending on how well the seed has germinated and grown.
Preparation is key. In either case, the base layer your seed or sod is laid on is critical. We like to use a landscape rake or rototiller to give the new roots obstruction free room to grow. We also highly recommend a mixture of Livingston Blend, which is an organic compost produced in Spotsylvania County, Virginia on top of the rototilled ground so that the new grass has some quality nutrients to absorb, and a way to retain water which is crucial. We follow up the seed with straw and then….water, water, water. New seed and sod will not survive without plenty of H2O. We recommend watering in the morning for about 30 minutes and the same at night just before dark. The morning water protects the grass from drying out during the daylight sun. The evening water is for the grass to absorb. Be patient and let your seed grow, or get instant results with our sod installation. Choices, choices.
After you’re done with the lawn, consider some of our other landscaping services such as tree trimming or driveway repair. Yard work never ends, and we never stop either.
Happy Growing and happy mowing!

Metuchen's triangular Memorial Park was established shortly after World War I to honor the local residents who fought in the war. Today, it has been refurbished, and commemorations placed for those who fought in subsequent wars as well.
The original park contained a center monument and flag pole surrounded by a circular hedge. On the base of the flag pole were affixed three bronze plaques - the center dedication flanked by the alphabetical Honor Roll of local WWI soldiers (see vintage photo).
Today, the park consists of a grove of trees, each honoring local soldiers from all 20th century wars, planted where the flag pole once stood. The bronze plaque honor roll has been mounted on an angled concrete base set at a 45-degree angle. Two square, flanking gateposts of rusticated concrete blocks with a concrete slab form the entrance to the arbor grove behind the honor roll.

This presentation draws a connection between livable cities and sustainable cities, and argues that good urban planning and design can achieve the goals of a lively, attractive, safe, sustainable, and healthy city. Gehl takes the audience through infrastructure planning and design elements that encourage and invite pedestrians and cyclists and addresses the many benefits that this brings for cities and people.
The presentation is in four parts of roughly 15 minutes each. Many other excellent RIBA programs in this series can be found on gleeds.tv.
