I love this purple fountain grass. This is an annual here but long after it dies back I'll enjoy watching the plumes blowing in the wind or lightly dusted with snow (or mashed flat by a heavy snowstorm). I planted this one in a pot so I can move it to the front yard for a nice fall display with the pumpkins and the potted chrysanthemums. But that's after I get back from a week exploring the rocky coastline of Oregon. Happy first day of fall!


Photos Of Australian Native Plants, Wildflowers, Trees and Ground Covers
A wonderfully colourful selection of quality pictures of flowering trees, shrubs, wild flowers, indigenous Australian plants, foliage, leaves, seeds, pods and more. Plants include grass trees, blackboys, xanthoreas, native orchids, flowering gum, callistemon, waratah, sturt desert pea, paper daisies, bottle brush, wattle, kangaroo paw, red, pink and white flowering eucalypts, banksia, wattle, leaves, stems, bark, bees, fungi, tree ferns and many more.
Photos were taken at Foster Primary School gardens, Canberra Botanical Gardens, Wilsons Promontory National Park, Lamington National Park, Springbrook National Park, Coombahbah Lakelands Reserve, Open Garden Days, Narkabundah Native Wild Flower Nursery in Sandy Point, and other parklands and gardens located throughout South Gippsland. These photos are specifically colour coordinated to provide a visually striking display. The shade variations in this stunning collection include red, cream, white, pink, orange, yellow, green, jade, lilac, silver, blue, violet and purple. Enjoy!
If you are thinking of planting them, position them well away from those areas and even be thoughtful when planting near a lawn unless you are happy for your lawn mower to chew them up.
Australia has more than 850 species of Acacia, ranging from ground covers and shrubs to giant trees. They can cause sneezing and allergies so we prefer not to cut the branches to display inside the house, instead, leave them to display their natural beauty fully intact.
Be careful when parking under a Eucalypt species as most of them drop branches without much warning and are often the first to be blown over in a storm due to the shallow root structure.
The native birds thoroughly enjoy the nectar they produce and the hardy Banksias also give them shelter from predators. One of our local artists, Celia Rosser is famous for her drawings of Banksias and even had one officially named after her.

A range of food and shelter sources for pollinators and other invertebrates in your area
Log piles provide shelter and food for many invertebrates, and create essential habitat for fungi and other soil bacteria that in turn support your roof’s plant communities
Shelter stones provide sanctuary for invertebrates to feed and over-winter, and create damper microhabitat by offering protection against wind and sun
Old railway sleepers, chopped down and bored with holes of different sizes create perfecting nesting sites for bees and other pollinators, as well as feeding the mycelium communities below ground.
Water features attract invertebrates which in turn brings birds. Areas of open ground and river sand provide nesting sites for solitary bees and basking places for butterflies.

Masonary raised Planting Bedby Lorenz Prem
Raised planting beds made from brick have many advantages. They last practically forever and the stone does not react with the soil. Building one is not hard, but requires a lot of work. The materials involved are heavy.
The exact quantity depends on the size of your planting bed.
1) Begin by digging a trench along the foundation of the planting bed. The trench needs to be at least 15 inches deep and about a shovel width wide (10"). A bit more or less won't matter.
2) Fill the lower 5 inches of the trench with gravel. This layer will drain moisture away from the bed.
If you want to add a drain to your bed dig a trench for the pipe now. Later the concrete will get in the way. The pipe should exit under the gravel for best longevity.
3) Fill the trench with 4-5" of concrete. Install rebar in the corners and level the concrete all around. This layer is the foundation of your wall.
- iron rebar for all corners
The rebar is a good idea for any project that is built above the frost line. The foundation does not extend below the line, which makes it subject to frost jacking in the winter. The rebar reinforces the bed's foundation and keeps it from cracking during the winter.
4) Build your wall on top of the foundation; one brick at a time. Brick laying is not necessarily hard. It just takes time. The best advice I can give you is to layout your string lines properly. It is much easier to lay a brick on top of level one than it is to vary grout joints. Chances are your first wall won't be perfect, but it will be solid.
5) Fill the bed with soil and enjoy.
Before embarking on this project be very clear about the time required to build all but the most simple brick beds. Getting the materials from the home center to your building site alone will take all morning. Plan to spend two weekends on getting the project done.

After spending a fortune on your landscape, the desire to showcase it for all your neighbors and friends to see is only natural. With the effective use of outdoor house lights, your stunning landscape remains seen by all who pass by both day and night. To make your lawn picture-ready 24 hours a day, follow some practical design tips sure to shine the limelight on your captivating landscape.Design with a purpose
Don’t install outdoor lights just to do what others do. Set a clear objective. Know what you want to achieve with your landscape lighting and how you plan to reach this objective. Are you installing landscape lights to create a romantic evening ambience? Do you want to highlight a specific part of your garden? Or, are you installing them for illumination and security reasons?
To facilitate a design or function, you must determine your objective(s) and proceed with the relative light placements. Your design and functions determine the type and volume of lights you need to purchase for installation outside your house.
Know Where You want the Lights
When determining placement of your outdoor lights, you must assess your landscape’s overall layout. You must understand everything, from the foliage and vegetation, to decor, to the effects of peripheral lighting from nearby homes or buildings, which can reflect or absorb the illumination coming from your landscape lights. You need to study how light can possibly match, illuminate, and highlight specific locations in your yard, given the impact of any peripheral lighting.
Choose Appropriate Exterior Lights
Because so many varieties of outdoor house lights exist on the market, confusion can impede your ability to choose the best ones for your landscape objectives. While it might be fun to experiment on different outdoor light fixtures by yourself, your money can be wasted on exterior lighting that you don't particularly like once installed. In this case, it is wise to ask an expert’s opinion on which type of landscape lights you should purchase.
The price of exterior lights wholly depends on the lights' construction and their corresponding ingress protection (IP) rating. These can help determine how durable the lights are against water and other forces of nature. The higher the IP rating, the greater the durability of your of your lights.
Mind the Budget
A common choice for the practical homeowner, low-voltage lighting is relatively inexpensive and easy to install. However, if you seek an exclusive, stunning effect, you must invest in a higher quality of external lights. Not only will such lighting make your garden shine above the rest, it resists overheating and voltage overloading better than other lights, which can pose fire and safety hazards. High-quality lighting can also include full warranties for as long as 10 years.
Don’t hesitate to ask an expert’s opinion on how to better illuminate your landscape. A well-lit landscape can certainly raise a homeowner’s confidence as well as boost the property value in the market.

HS2 has revealed new landscape designs showing how the area around the River Cole in Warwickshire, identified as a Heritage Hotspot, could be transformed for local people.
Two HS2 viaducts will be constructed near Coleshill, and the landscape around them will create new public spaces with footpaths and cycleways allowing people to enjoy and better understand their local heritage. The area has a rich history, including a medieval deer park, the Tudor Coleshill Manor and the expansive Elizabethan garden which HS2 archaeologists recently uncovered.
Natural habitats will also be created for local wildlife, and access to water will create opportunities for fishing and walks around the river. The current viaduct designs allow for space to provide a ‘nature-led’ realignment of the river, increasing its biodiversity and to provide flood compensation areas. Habitats and ponds will create new homes for amphibians, dragonflies, otters, great crested newts, reptiles and badgers, which will all benefit from these new ecological features.
New integrated designs for the structures include reducing the height of the western viaduct from 10m to 4m, which results in a 36% reduction in materials being used and a 26% reduction in the viaduct’s carbon footprint. Changing the girder from concrete to steel also brings environmental benefits, including reducing the use of materials and the construction time, with 97% of the steel coming from recycled sources.
North of the viaducts, embankments around the existing Coleshill Manor will be planted with woodlands designed to complement existing vegetation. Accessible new green spaces will enrich the existing estate by taking inspiration from the parkland landscape setting of Coleshill Manor. The design will highlight the historical and ecological make-up of the site and links between Coleshill Manor and the river.
Further north, at Chattle Hill near the Water Orton viaducts, there are plans for a ‘blossom walk’ to link to a new community orchard and allotment areas, along with the planting of fruit trees and herbs for foraging.
“HS2’s enhancements to the integrated design of the viaducts and landscape in this area have made the most of the rich local history and biodiversity, creating the opportunity for fantastic new spaces for people and wildlife to enjoy,” HS2’s Head of Landscape Design, Christoph Brintrup said.
The section of the HS2 route where the River Cole viaducts are located is known as the Delta Junction, a triangular section of line where the HS2 route curves west towards Birmingham and runs north towards Crewe and beyond. The River Cole West and River Cole East viaducts curve away from the northbound route, bringing HS2 passengers into the heart of Birmingham at the city’s Curzon Street Station.
The design joint venture working for Balfour Beatty Vinci JV (BBV) on these proposals consists of Mott MacDonald and Systra together with architects Weston Williamson + Partners.
HS2 invite local residents to comment on the landscape designs, with a virtual engagement event held in July.

An application to develop the former Snibston colliery site and country park has been permitted by councillors at North West Leicestershire District Council's Planning Committee.
The permission includes plans to extend the Century Theatre, to create a café, visitors’ centre and rangers’ office, as well as outline plans to build up to 144 new homes on 5.8 hectares to the west of the site.
Conservative controlled Leicestershire County Council, which owns the land, has developed the £1.7 million proposal. New car parking, a heritage trail, mountain bike trails and play facilities will be provided as part of the scheme.
Leicestershire County Council has also submitted a separate application to create a new cycle link and footpath from the Snibston site to the centre of Coalville, along the former railway.
North West Leicestershire District Council’s Planning Committee voted in favour of allowing the development to go ahead.
The application received the support of the Coalville Heritage Society.
Speaking about the decision, Chair of Planning Committee Councillor David Stevenson, said: “We value the heritage of Coalville’s mining past and are pleased to be able to support the development that will not only protect the monuments and listed buildings on the site, but will provide a country park and links to the town centre. We look forward to the development, which will continue Coalville’s urban renaissance."
Speaking about the approval for the proposals Nick Rushton, County Councillor for the Valley Division and Leader of Leicestershire County Council, said "Featuring a heritage trail, the proposals bring Snibston’s unique past to life. And by overhauling the country park, we’re keen to make the site more vibrant, open it up as a whole and bring in more visitors.
These are major plans for Coalville, including much-needed housing, and I’m pleased they’re gaining ground."

Gov. Deval Patrick stopped by the Silver City to announce $10.3 million to build and renovate playgrounds and spray parks in all 54 Bay State cities.
“Growth requires investment, and creating and upgrading recreational parks in urban neighborhoods will help create growth and opportunity across the commonwealth,” Patrick said. “This investment will improve the lives of Massachusetts children and families now and for generations to come.”
Patrick visited Hopewell Park, where the city plans to use its $200,000 share of the grant to build a splash pad.
Through the Our Common Backyards program, the Massachusetts Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs will commit up to $200,000 to fund projects in each city, according to a press release from Patrick’s office.

The existing home was a classic example of Mid 20th Century Modernism, structurally sound and set high on a ridge, amongst some of the largest remnant Spotted Gum Forests in the Sydney area.
The challenge was to recycle the structure without imposing on the root system or canopy of the magnificent trees that surround it. The home was expanded by cantilevering off the existing brick plinth, maintaining the original floor levels and roof line which runs parallel to the natural fall of the land. Materials used were chosen for their natural appearance, as well as their ability to weather naturally without the need for excessive sacrificial coatings.
Wide eaves reduce the heat load on the building. Indigenous plants surrounding the building further reduce the heat load, absorbing carbon and preventing soil erosion.

Scientists, Environmentalists, and Politicians have brought habitat destruction and the cost that it has for wildlife to the attention of people around the World. In response, many people have begun work to preserve the natural areas that still exist and restore other areas that once served as home to wild animals and plants.
A butterfly garden is an easy way both to see more Monarchs and to contribute towards their conservation.
Butterflies like lots of different plants, so creating a garden adds biological diversity to your yard. Diversity can reduce populations of pest insects by making it harder for them to find their host plants. Butterflies also often like native plants. Including those species in your garden usually means less maintenance, since those plants are used to the natural weather conditions in your area. Butterflies themselves are an important part of the ecosystem, and can pollinate many plants.
Butterflies are easy to watch, since they're active during the warm parts of the day. They also have many interesting behaviors. After rain, for example, you might see them "puddling," or sucking fluids from wet soil to obtain water and salts. On cool sunny mornings, they often bask on a rock to warm their muscles enough to power flight. Males are often territorial, chasing other males away and trying to attract females, and females often have elaborate routines for choosing where to lay their eggs.
Be sure to include both caterpillar food plants and butterfly nectaring plants. Having caterpillar plants in your garden means butterflies are more likely to linger and explore possible sites to lay eggs. It will also increase your chances of observing both mating and egg-laying behaviors, as well as the complete butterfly life cycle from egg to adult.

AJ’s Excavating sets the standard in seawall construction, repair and restoration. Our techniques have been proven to with stand the harsh Northern Michigan elements. The process starts with understanding the needs of the homeowner, the property, and the water source. After meeting with the homeowner and discussing the budget and options, we can then discuss the permitting process, which we can either assist in or handle from start to finish. The shoreline is then prepared with a base filter fabric to prevent erosion, followed by layering of different sized rocks in a pyramid formation to add strength and allow the ice to slide up the wall with minimal damage. We can add steps down to the water, clean Northern Michigan beach sand for the kids, or plantings and grass to aid in the erosion control behind the wall. These walls not only protect the shoreline from erosion but can also add to the landscaping of your yard. Call us today for a free consultation.

A stunning swimming pool can transform your backyard into a tranquil oasis, a place of relaxation and recreation. It’s not just about having a pool; it’s about creating an ambiance that complements your home’s aesthetic and reflects your personal style. This is where swimming pool landscaping and construction come into play. Whether you’re planning to build a new pool or give your existing one a makeover, the right landscaping can make all the difference. In this guest post, we will delve into the world of swimming pool landscaping, exploring the possibilities and benefits it can offer to your home. We’ll also introduce you to Al Khail Pools, your go-to Swimming Pool Maintenance Company in Dubai, to ensure your oasis remains in pristine condition.
The Importance of Swimming Pool Landscaping
When you think of a beautiful swimming pool, you often visualize more than just the pool itself. It’s the entire scene – the surroundings, the greenery, the stone accents, and the lighting that create the ambiance. This is where landscaping plays a crucial role. By carefully planning and designing the landscape around your pool, you can enhance the overall aesthetics of your outdoor space. The right combination of plants, hardscaping, and water features can turn a simple pool into a work of art that complements your home’s architecture.
Creating a Functional Space
Swimming pool landscaping isn’t just about looks; it’s also about functionality. You can create functional spaces around your pool for various activities like sunbathing, dining, or simply lounging by the water. Well-placed seating areas, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas can turn your poolside into an entertainment hub, allowing you to make the most of your outdoor living space.
Privacy and Shade
Landscaping can also provide privacy and shade, two crucial elements for a comfortable poolside experience. By strategically planting trees, shrubs, or using decorative screens, you can shield your pool area from prying eyes and create a cozy, shaded retreat on those scorching Dubai summer days.
A well-planned landscape can also contribute to ecological balance in your backyard. Using native plants and sustainable design practices, you can reduce water usage and maintenance requirements. This not only helps conserve resources but also ensures a more eco-friendly and cost-effective pool area.
Swimming Pool Construction
Now that we’ve highlighted the importance of swimming pool landscaping let’s delve into the construction aspect. Whether you’re building a new pool or renovating an existing one, the process requires meticulous planning and execution.
The design phase is where your dream pool takes shape on paper. It involves selecting the pool shape, size, depth, and any additional features like spa areas or waterfalls. You’ll also discuss the type of materials for the pool, such as concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl. A well-thought-out design is the foundation of a successful pool project.
In Dubai, as in many places, building a swimming pool often requires permits and compliance with local regulations. It’s essential to ensure that your pool construction adheres to all legal requirements and safety standards. This is a step where professional guidance is invaluable.
Once the design is finalized and permits are in place, excavation begins. This involves digging the pool hole and preparing the site for construction. It’s a crucial phase, and precision is key to ensuring that your pool is level and properly positioned.
The construction phase involves building the actual pool structure, including the installation of plumbing and filtration systems. Depending on the design and materials, this phase can vary in complexity and duration.
The final stage of pool construction involves adding the finishing touches. This includes the application of pool finishes, such as tiles, plaster, or paint. It’s also the time to install any additional features like lighting, water features, or decking.
Now comes the part where swimming pool construction and landscaping merge. The landscaping around your pool is essential to complete the project and create the desired ambiance. The choice of plants, the type of paving or decking, and the lighting all contribute to the overall look and feel of your pool area.

Transforming a concrete courtyard into a relaxing plaza is one way to make a commercial property look a lot more inviting. It also makes the work environment a lot greener for employees who might be tired of looking at a completely paved property. Rather than removing all of the existing concrete and laying down new concrete in only the areas you want, try concrete slab sawing. If you're going to keep the yard as mostly concrete anyway, slab sawing is a faster way to make the changes you want.
Cutting for Drainage and Planting
Adding planters and trees to the courtyard quickly transforms the space into a much friendlier addition. To do that, you can cut out squares that will become the planting spaces for new trees. Be sure the trees don't have destructive roots, and cut out enough concrete so that the trees won't have to be removed in only a few years -- you need to give them room to grow.
If you're adding planters along the sides of buildings, you can cut out slabs all along the perimeter of the yard (except at doorways and passageways). You can also add raised planters, but cut out several smaller holes in the concrete to provide drainage. Place the planters over the holes.
Do remember to reseal the newly-exposed surfaces in the concrete. When you create a square planter for a tree, the sides of the concrete blocks surrounding the hole could absorb moisture if you don't seal them.
Older concrete likely has some damage on it, such as scratches where people dropped heavy items. Slab sawing and cutting can be used to smooth out rougher areas. When concrete looks clean and smooth, it also looks newer, and the area around it may start to look better cared for.
Again, remember to reseal the concrete. When moisture gets into the concrete and freezes in winter, that ice expands, cracking the concrete. Sealant stops excessive moisture from intruding into the concrete.
Carving Decorative Pathways
Your pathways and walkways have to be a certain width in order to meet ADA standards. For wider areas where you have some extra concrete to play with, you can cut out sections to make the walkways more decorative.
Unless you've used a concrete slab saw before, get a concrete company to do the work for you. It will look better that way, and the workers from that company will have better control over the equipment.


NYC Parks is overseeing the work for a new fence for the Jane Street Garden, currently planned for two installments, the first starting May 17. We will update this space as we learn more.
An elegant wrought-iron fence will replace the sagging chain link, and a new layout will provide access for all. The planning and permitting took two years and a lot of hard work from many people. A special shout-out to Council Member Corey Johnson for providing funding for the fence. He also found time to visit the annual Jane Street Fair in 2016 and is pictured, right, with JSBA volunteers Kate, Marianne, and Cynthia. The Jane Street Garden, at the corner of 8th Avenue, is a Community Garden, part of the NYC Parks GreenThumb Program. It is maintained by the West Village Committee through an agreement with GreenThumb. Click here for a preview of the garden plans.
We have initiated a new project at the west end of Jane & Horatio Streets (rendering below). With the generosity of a few neighbors we were able to begin the project. We need to raise additional funds to complete the plantings and maintain the area for years to come. Please help with a
tax -deductible donation through our fiscal sponsor Greenbelow14 ,
d/b/a as Friends of Downtown Parks, NYC. Or write a check for your
tax-deductible donation payable to Friends of Downtown Parks, NYC and mail it to the Jane Street Block Association at 55 Jane Street NYC 10014.
With your help, we can keep growing the green for the neighborhood!
The trees of Jane Street are maintained by the JSBA through a contract with Bartlett Tree Experts. Work, including feeding and pruning, is performed one or twice annually depending on tree condition. Tree maintenance is the largest ongoing expense of the Association and is supported solely by JSBA dues and donations to the Tree Fund. For more about street trees, contact NYC Parks.
The West Street Garden in progress
Pictured, left: A rendering of renovation plans for the long-neglected park that runs along West Street between Jane and Horatio, to include a new fence and plantings. It is the newest responsibility of the JSBA, along with the Triangle Garden at the junction of 8th Avenue and West 4th Street. We now also maintain additional trees and tree pits on Hudson Street between Horatio and 12th Street.


Hidcote Garden is one of the most acclaimed gardens in the Cotswolds. It is situated just minutes away from Chipping Campden and is owned and operated by The National Trust. Hidcote is a quintessential Cotswold attraction, visited by locals and visitors from near and far.
Begun in 1907, the garden was the brainchild of American horticulturist, Major Lawrence Johnston and is a classic example of an early Arts and Crafts creation. Major Johnston transformed the existing North Cotswold farmland into a 10½ acre masterpiece of colourful borders and intricately designed outdoor ‘rooms’ that continue to delight visitors, throughout the year.
Hidcote Garden has a maze of narrow paved pathways, from which you will discover secret gardens, sweeping lawns, magnificent views, and countless flowers and plants, many of which were collected from Johnston’s early plant expeditions to far-away places. It’s the perfect place if you’re in need of gardening inspiration.
Find a quiet spot and sit on one of the ornate benches and watch green woodpeckers search for their lunch or listen to the calls from the buzzards circling overhead. Time it right and you might catch a glimpse of the elusive hummingbird moth, or even spot a great crested newt basking in the lily pool. Meander through the intricate garden spaces and into the Wilderness. This secluded stretch of tall trees is just right for a picnic. Take a glimpse beyond the boundary and see the garden blend effortlessly into the countryside beyond.
Hidcote hosts a varied programme of outdoor events and a number of gardening or plant related workshops throughout the year. It is also a favourite Cotswolds wedding venue and is quite simply the perfect backdrop for your special day or for any special occasion or corporate function. A professional in-house functions- and events team is in place to plan your event with you and to take care of your every need on the day.


|One of the many planting groups in St. James Park. Notice the contrast of the hot and cool colors.|
I thought I would show you some of the pictures I took of the gardens in England. I didn't go on a gardening tour and I didn't set out to take snap shots of plants, but England is so lush and verdant that I couldn't help but notice all the natural beauty. Just imagine what it would be like to go on a gardening tour of Great Britain or to plan to go to the best gardens in the country. Hum...now there's an idea for a vacation. I hope you enjoy these!
St. James Park in London.
St. James is one of the parks that connects to Buckingham Palace. It use to be a royal hunting ground, but over the centuries became more of a pleasure ground with a scenic lake and beautiful flower beds.
|This ancient wisteria vine is about four hundred years old! It smelled divine!|
Modern English gardening seems to be all about contrast, contrast of color and texture. This bed was labeled an exotic bed. Exotic! These are mostly old faithfuls at home. Dusty Miller. Variegated monkey grass. Begonias. Serpent Tongue. Palms. Iron plants. Hen and chickens.
It's funny how exotic means different things to different people!
|These are the much more formal William and Mary gardens which were modeled on the French style.|
They are beautiful and enormous but a little repetitive, not quite as interesting as the Tudor gardens.

London is a city of great parks – Hyde Park, Regent’s Park, and St James’s Park to name a few. However, if you want to get off the beaten track and find some of London’s most enchanting green spaces, you won’t have to look far as the City is teaming with hidden gardens, parks, and leafy enclaves.
Here are some of the most magical green spaces in London:
- The Cloister Garden, St John’s Gate, Clerkenwell EC1M 4DA
Hidden within the cloisters of the Museum of the Order of the St. John is this charming little garden, brimming with sweet smelling herbs and a range of medicinal plants. Open to the public, there are plenty of benches for whenever you fancy a quiet lunch or just 10-minutes to sit in the shade of the garden’s 200-year-old olive tree.
- Postman’s Park, St Martin’s Le-Grand, EC1A
You might want to linger in Postman’s Park for a while as it pays homage to city folk who have performed heroic deeds. From the Victorian age to the present day, there are beautifully glazed tiles in memory of those who died saving another’s life. It’s named Postman’s Park because it lies north of London’s old General Post Office.
- Phoenix Garden, 21 Stacey Street, WC2H 8DG
Situated behind Charing Cross Road this community garden is maintained by volunteers and is a haven for wildlife. The nearby churchyard at St Giles in the Fields has weekly food stalls, which makes it handy for an al fresco lunch. It has been open to the public since 1984 and is one of Covent Garden’s last community gardens.
- Red Cross Garden, 50 Redcross Way, SE1 1HA
Set aside to give the children of Southwark a place in which to play, this award-winning Victorian garden has been restored to its original appearance. With its cottage, bandstand and pond, it feels more like a village than a London location.
- Bow Creek Ecology Park, Bidder Street, E16 9ST
In the shadow of Canary Wharf, this little nature reserve is situated on what was once an ironworks. The DLR runs through the park which means you can sit back and watch the hustle and bustle from a distance. It’s a great spot for bird watching with the Black Redstart a common sight.
- St Dunstan-In-The-East, St Dunstan’s Hill, EC3R 5DD
One of the most charming of London’s green spaces, this lush garden is situated in the ruins of a Wren church. Purposefully overgrown and graced with a pretty fountain, you could wile away hours here.
- Barbican Conservatory, The Barbican Centre, Silk Street, EC2Y 8DS
If you are craving one of the best green spaces in London on a rainy day, then this oasis mixes lush greenery with the brutalist architecture of the Barbican. It’s free, but you need to book before you go.
- Japanese Garden Island, Regent’s Park
For a taste of Japan, visit this tucked-away Japanese Garden in Regents Park, complete with bridges and water features. At the top of the gardens is a secluded area with benches that is nearly always deserted.
London Bridge is a great area for sociable business and the team at
Southwark Street is no different. Indre is the best person to ask when it comes
to team night out locations, lunch spots, after work drinks or even a fancy
restaurant or two.


A collaborative project with Industrial Design and Architecture students. Sponsored by NCR and RILA, students were to develop a strip mall as it would be envisioned 15-20 years in the future. The students collaborated to design the physical space, as well as how the user would experience the space, and what makes the space innovative and exciting.
The Exchange is made up of three levels, and each includes abundant green park space. Users can easily move up, down, and throughout the entire space, enjoying the greenery and the retail options all the while.


Bayside City Council
Bayside City Council in NSW selected Polytan to convert the Arncliffe Oval football field into an all-weather, high quality synthetic playing surface to accommodate the high usage by the local community.
Polytan provided the scope of design and construction services to deliver the project which included:
• The installation of the LigaTurf HB250 synthetic turf system which includes a ProPlay Sport23 shock pad layer for added player protection.
• A drainage solution for the park as well as the nearby residents.
• Much consultation with stakeholder groups to tailor the design and implementation practices to suit local residents, the area’s heritage, and local traffic.
Polytan and the Bayside City Council were pleased that the finished facility integrated seamlessly into its surrounds and met the increased demand for the sport in the area.


The Bayer Neighborhood Park & Gardens master plan project reworks an historic homestead into a neighborhood park and garden. New Community Hall and Environmental Education buildings frame a central plaza that connects the street to the heart of the park. The master plan grew out of an extensive community public process that included numerous opportunities for public input – workshops, task force meetings, focus group sessions, interviews with key citizens.
Many activity spaces branch out from the plaza. A traditional Kiosk anchors a large recreational lawn to the east. An open-air Pavilion with an outdoor kitchen to the north is positioned to support the existing community garden and historic barn. Play and skateboard areas to the south provide much needed neighborhood recreational space.
The buildings are designed to be mindful of the site’s rural history, current use, and climate. They shape and engage their surroundings for indoor/outdoor use. Deep overhangs, porches, covered walkways and wood screens shade outdoor gathering spaces and temper the buildings in the summer. Rainwater collected from roofs is stored in galvanized tanks for irrigating the gardens.

I need to turf a section of my garden that previously had a patio on it, so the area is covered with sand (previously under the flags). I thought I'd have to move all of the sand and then turf it. But people keep telling me I can lay the turf on the sand. Anyone know if this is true?
Grass grows pretty much anywhere and, if you're getting turf, then it's got a layer of soil to grab onto. I have a patch of sandy garden from having a drive laid once. The sand has quickly got mixed in through digging and worm action. Drains well Rather than shifting the sand, if you dig in some compost or top soil before flattening it and laying the turf, you might get better results.

The Parc des Roches Blanches covers almost 60 hectares in one piece.
In the center, we find the elements built with the main house, its outbuildings, the garden and the farm. All around unfolds a hilly landscape composed of woods and meadows.
The whole is an open space, fully accessible irrigated by a network of paths. The atmospheres are varied and everyone can find the place where he can feel good: Fall asleep under an oak tree, walk in the woods, fish on the edge of the pond, go out on a bike, have dinner with friends on the terrace. ..


Holmes County, Ohio. The Wilderness Center near Wilmot is having a native plant sale and gardening seminars from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. The native plant sale is an annual event where you can purchase plants that are native to Ohio and therefore will be more hardy when it comes to keeping them in your garden. Plants offered are for various areas of your garden from marsh plants to shade plants to those that thrive in sun. The seminars include topics such as birds, canning, edible landscape, butterfly gardening, plant problems, and weeds. There is a nominal fee for the seminars with the proceeds going to help support The Wilderness Center. You can pre-register for the seminars but it is not necessary. The plant sale is first come, first served; no advance orders. Continue the fun on Sunday with a wildflower walk at 2 p.m. While you are there take time to check out their various nature trails. The interpretive center inside is also worth a 2nd look.

1000 trees will help beautify, cool and save energy
TUCSON -- On October 27 people all across the city will be planting 1000 trees.
This is a positive and needed effort.
More trees will help beautify and cool Tucson. Trees reduce the urban heat island effect, lower energy use and related power bills, create cool parking spots, and provide more shade and habitat for people and wildlife.
My neighborhood, Santa Rita Park, where I am the elected President, will be planting at least 33 new community trees along 23rd street, between 4th & 6th avenues, and along 5th avenue, between 22nd and 25th streets.
Santa Rita Park neighbors have committed to care for the trees.
I thank '1000 Trees for Tucson' for donating trees to the Santa Rita Park Neighborhood Association for this true 'urban renewal' effort.

The snow has finally started to melt here in Quebec and I can hardly contain my anticipation of exploring the garden of the new house we moved into in November and barely had time to explore before the snow caught up with us. By rewilding our backyard, I hope to help my children develop the same curiosity, awe and appreciation for nature that my parents instilled in me with our messy little garden in Brazil.
I remember how huge every space felt when I was my boys’ age – with the trees, shrubs, and hidden nooks and crannies, our backyard would have felt like an enchanted forest to me as a five-year-old. I want them to fall in love with the magic of nature and learn the importance of respecting and appreciating the world around us, and I hope that our moments spent barefoot and with dirty hands in the garden will be among their fondest childhood memories.
How I’ll rewild our garden in 2023
The front and back yards of our new home are typical of suburban homes: Most of it’s covered with lawn, and according to the landlord, there are some “rare trees and shrubs.” I couldn’t identify all the plants before they lost their leaves and/or were covered with snow, but I know one of the trees is a young ginkgo biloba, and given the few birds I’ve seen here, I’ve a feeling the other trees and shrubs aren’t native either – which may look nice, but isn’t good for nature or biodiversity.
I couldn’t care less about manicured, sterile gardens – I want colourful birds, bugs and frogs, to fall asleep to the chirping of crickets, and to feel like my space is home to a healthy ecosystem. That’s why I’m going to spruce up this garden so that it can thrive and buzz with all sorts of helpful, friendly critters.
Here’s what I’m going to do to, in the words of Douglas Tallamy, rewild our garden into a little “Homegrown National Park:”
1. Once the snow is gone, I’ll gradually replace most of the lawn with clover, an environmentally friendly alternative that looks just as good as grass but requires less water and maintenance, allows for greater biodiversity, and even adds nitrogen to the soil, increasing fertility.
2. Around the edges, I’ll plant native berries so wildlife (including my boys) can eat lots of fruit. This will also give us more privacy since we have neighbours on both sides.
3. Along with the berries, I’ll plant wildflowers around the edges to invite pollinators to the party. Some of the species I plan to use are black-eyed Susan, coneflower, New England aster, evening primrose, and Indian blanket.
4. Plant a sumac tree and a serviceberry tree, aka “the birds’ tree,” which has pretty flowers in the spring, sweet berries, and beautiful leaves in the fall. And sumac isn’t only bird food all year round and beautiful in the fall, but can also be used in the kitchen.
5. In our small front yard, I’ll replace the grass with wildflowers and plant a raspberry bush near the young horse chestnut – which isn’t native, but which I love – as a free spring and summer snack for passersby.
6. There is a part of the garden where water backs up when it rains, so I want to create a small rain garden in that area so the soil can absorb the water more slowly.
7. There are two downspouts on the side of the house. I’ll connect a rain collector to one of them and create a mini wetland around the other, as shown in the video below.
(If I owned the house, I’d create a real small pond, but this should be enough to attract some nice bugs and hopefully frogs)
8. In addition to the plants, I’ll also hang bird feeders and birdbaths, and build an insect hotel in a shady area at the edge of the garden to attract wildlife.
These measures should be enough to bring the garden back to life and have a darn good time in the process. I’ll post updates and photos here as work progresses – and the snow is finally gone!

Here we are in February 2021. Despite the new lockdown and need for more resilience to weather this pandemic, I feel a sense of optimism - Having set out to plant 360 trees (If you haven't read Part 1 yet, you can read it here ), we have now planted 290 trees with 70 to go! I must confess to now feeling addicted to planting trees. There is a great sense of calm and connection to the land and the tree’s own personality when you are out planting, as well as working together with other humans to make it happen. I can’t describe it - but I feel so differently about this field now, its identity, and how it will evolve with a little encouragement and coaxing.
I can’t wait to see the first flush of leaves and blossom the trees produce, the summer shade and light, and the winter colours with crab apple baubles. There was great excitement from the birds when we planted too - an anticipation of things to come.
Woodland field- 270 trees planted November 2020
In part 1, we set out why we started this project of planting trees, and why we set ourselves the target of planting 360 of them during this tree-planting season (November 2020 - March 2021). We still have a few more trees to plant, but we hope to reach our target by March 2021.
A bit about our process...
So, how did we go from discussing the idea, to actually enacting it?
The preparation and planning took much more time than the actual planting. It was necessary to plan out how best to use the features of the existing landscape and enhance them. The coloured drawing below is one of my very rough site plans with a broad view of the woodland and landscape layout in relation to our house, garden and field site - to give context - and a rough section to get a sense of scale, topography, views and existing boundaries.
I used this drawing and overlaid it with more details on numbers of trees, species, paths and connections etc (as the black and white rough drawing below). We have a badger run across the field, which became our crossing path (the most direct), and we settled on the idea of a glade running diagonally up/down the hill to connect the views down to our pond (not filled yet- a work in progress), and to the majestic existing mature Ash and Willow trees. A brilliant sledge run too, as we gleefully found out this last snowy weekend.
Picking the trees and placing our stakes
Once we had worked out an overall strategy, we discussed the types of trees we wanted to plant. This decision was influenced largely by what kind of trees already grow in our area, and their availability from the Woodland Trust (see Part 1). We enjoyed learning and identifying these (and many more) species out on local walks together. There's no better indicator for what grows well in a specific soil type and setting than looking around at what's already there.
We walked the field many times and set out the tree positions with bamboo canes, tying coloured ribbons where we imagined more prominent larger trees - like the Oak trees - and arranging where blossom drifts may one day be of Buckthorn, Hawthorn, Cherry and Crab Apple. In our design, we celebrate our beautiful Ash tree, giving it space to continue to thrive hopefully, but planning for succession planting with Oak and Goat Willow for future specimens, as Ash Dieback sadly is taking hold nationally and across Europe.
Getting the space ready, digging & planting!
Our first delivery of 270 woodland trees arrived in November 2020! We unpacked them and stored them upright in a sheltered area in the garden, but before we could start planting the rough grassland needed to be cleared around each stake - we did this mostly by mowing. A first cut was done by our neighbouring farmer with his tractor, and a second, closer cut with our old lawnmower. We also hand-pulled grass and weeds around the stakes.
We had a good, pointed spade, which was great for the rough, hard clay soil that we needed to dig for the saplings. We dug small squares (you can use the slit or T-shape method for very big projects where you need to save time, but digging a small square is best!), weeding the dug area and making sure the saplings were covered to just above the root. Stakes were placed South-West of the sapling to give protection. The trees we bought came with free plastic tree protectors. We did research bio-degradable ones, which we would have preferred to use and which the Woodland Trust are now also investigating, but they’re not available yet. We aim to re-use the protectors in an innovative way (for example, we are currently compressing any of our thin, non-recyclable plastic waste into bottles known as ‘Ecobricks’).
Our latest additions
Our 20 orchard trees arrived in January bare-rooted and we planted them quickly in a more sheltered corner of the paddock, alongside some of our existing fruit trees. This time we dug wider, deeper holes, and used proper stakes with ties (low down), as these were larger maiden trees about 120cm high. They look settled and have stood up well to the stormy weather we have had over the last month. These should produce their blossom this spring, the smallest woodland saplings will take more time and will need encouragement to take root and thrive!
The Orchard corner: 20 ‘maidens’ - Pears, Apples, Greengage, Medlar, Juneberries, Wild Plums, Crab Apples. Planted January 2021.
I go out and check the trees most days, and I feel that I’ve got to know this piece of land with growing affection. Trees do have a phenomenological effect on you. I feel they have taken root in me and that we are growing together.
We have 70 more trees to plan for and plant, so we will be keeping you updated on our progress in the coming months!


This is the story of our front garden from back in December 2013 when we bought the house until now. Our front garden is only small and had a lot of bushes and shrubs around the bay windows and border. The ones around the windows had gone ‘a little’ wide due to their lack of attention from the previous owners and I was fighting a losing battle to try to get them into some sort of aesthetically pleasing shape. I would look out at the gardens opposite with envy.
So last spring I decided to take extreme measures. One set of bushes were really bad for Kiri’s hay fever so I started hacking at those first – I originally thought there was just 2 bushes that set her hay fever off, but after hacking for about an hour or so it came clear that there were far more than originally thought – 6. Overall there were over 20 bushes that I had to cut out in a 3 by 1 metre radius – a bit much.
This was the garden when we moved in, it did get slightly worse than this before starting (but I forgot to take an official ‘before’ photo).
With the big shrubs taken out, what I planted instead were much smaller shrubs that would make the front garden feel bigger and try to limit the amount of snails, slugs and rubbish that collected in the big bushes.
I also dug up all the grass and laid new grass seed – while I was digging up the grass I found an inspection chamber for the water hidden under the grass (not sure that was meant to be like that). I also moved some bushes from the side of house to the front to finish off the original border that was only on one side of the garden. This is what Nathanael is watering just before Judah was born last September.
That was the progress made last summer. It is now time to start phase 2 – which is basically carry on from where I left off.
This is how it looks currently.
The bushes I transplanted from the other side of house have taken well and are ‘leafing’ – my gardeners knowledge is showing here, but they are budding and growing so they have recently been pruned to help them grow. The grass seed sown last September has grown reasonable well, but there are some patches, but I bought plenty of seed so intend to sow some more this September.
That will mean that this side of the front is finish and will fall into the general maintenance category. The other side of the garden needs some of the old grass removing in order to lay new seed.
I will keep you updated with my progress. Hopefully it will be the finished front garden on the next update.

On Tuesday March 8, 2022 PlanIT Geo held a formal public presentation on the City's Community Forest Management Plan. This plan is based off findings of the recent tree inventory completed in 2021 of all trees in the City Right of Way (ROW) as well as all park trees in the City.
The Community Forest Management Plan utilizes the data from the tree inventory to formulate a working design for policy and procedures as it pertains to maintaining and managing the urban canopy of the City moving forward. The plan highlights where we are, where we need to be and how we get there with respect to everything from tree maintenance standards and budgeting to community outreach and tree ordinances and policy.
PlanIT Geo was the consultant who worked with the City on completing both the tree inventory and the CFMP. The Tree Inventory and CFMP was completely funded with a grant from the NYS Department of Conservation.
