Golden Harvest Park is an important green space in Northwold, and is regarded one of Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo’s (JCPZ)as the flagship parks. Yesterday I visitd the park to check on the recent upgrades ahead of the handover later this week.
I am pleased to report that the project has hit all of its targets, including a brand-new outside gym, an upgraded children’s play area, a soccer field, ablution facilities, paving at the JCPZ depot, the rehabilitation of the bridge, and the removal of the old dilapidated Mayoral Lapa.
The park has seen many improvements from a major reduction in crime incidents, to the launch of a Park Run that has seen over 1000 participants joining in.
These achievements have been made possible through the contribution of the community and many stakeholders such as the residents associations, the Friends of Golden Harvest Park, JMPD, SAPS, and local private security companies.
We hope to see many local residents enjoying the use of the new facilities available at the park and taking care of them through shared ownership. The DA will continue to work towards ensuring that the residents of Ward 101 are afforded a safe and welcoming environment to live, work, and play in.


The special atmosphere at the MAS DE CHASTELAS may come from its park.
The Mas is nestled in the foothills on a natural slope that adds much to the inherent charm of the two-hectare property.
The tour begins by walking through the main gate.
On the right is a view of the tennis courts and golf green.
The sprawling lawns to the left and right offer a fresh, clear perspective. Immediately, you know where you are. This is a park, not a garden, and it feels like home.
The park extends over two hectares, with lush vegetation planted down a gentle slope and revealed like theatre décor.
A special feature of the park are the fully-grown trees and shrubs that fill it – nature is our gardener!
The main tree species on the property are holm oak, cork oak and mimosa.
We also have magnificent umbrella pines, the younger of which grow haphazardly among the oleander..
The park is designed as a space to walk and take a break. Several covered and uncovered pavilions provide a place to be alone. Enjoy the peace and quiet in a lounge chair on terraces nestled among the greenery.
Low-growing plants in the garden include bay trees, oleander and pittosporum (single color and multi-colored). From this luxurious vegetation spring blossoms of every color: lavender, wisteria, climbing rose, daisies and shrub verbenas which blossom in the mid-summer sun...
Orange trees in the garden produce pounds and pounds of fruit every year – in the winter, that is, when the mimosas are in bloom. Don’t worry though, wood pigeons, doves, and of course cicadas will be here during your stay.
Rarer species of trees in the garden include pomegranate, Judas, strawberry (produces fruit in the winter), medlar and eucalyptus.
Spring (until mid-June) is the best time to see the flowers, including our spectacular white and pink oleander bushes. Flowers are less prominent after that – but summer smells wonderful too.


Let us work out a schedule that works best for you. Proper mowing and lawn care plays a significant role in the look and health of your lawn e.g. The 1/3 Rule.
Grass mulching can also reduce the need for added fertiliser and hand watering.
Tree & Shrub
Proper pruning can enhance the beauty of trees and shrubs.
Pruning allows the plant to put more energy into flowers, fruits or limbs that are healthy and helps us maintain the balance in the available garden space and improve the garden micro-climate.
Offers you the installation of plants, trees, turf, soils and mulches to help beautify your garden without the need for construction. It enables us to highlight annuals and make the most of potted plants to soften hard lines and lift the overall colour and mood of your private paradise.

Navigation system address: Staelduinlaan 19, ‘s Gravenzande. This is the address for a garden centre (Tuinmeubel Reus). Parking for the woods is just across the street from the garden centre entrance. Parking is free.
Actually, the entire domain is strictly on-path and on-leash. Locals tell me that they have been fined, and that the game-keeper actually lives in the woods.
What is so special about it?
There aren’t that many people walking there yet (it has not been opened to the public that long) so, for the time being, that might be the place to try if you fancy a quieter walk.
There are loads of left-over bunkers. It might not sound like a plus, but I find it a welcome novelty, departing from the usual park landscape. For a bit of trivia: the bunkers are from the second world war, and the site was used as army training grounds until recently.
Most of the site is a conservation area for bats, with explanatory signs scattered all over. I guess that has educational value for the kids if you are into that sort of thing (as I am).
The depth of trees is thick enough that you could call this woods, rather than a park. Don’t expect Nottingham forest either, mind.
It has a couple of shallow streams, but not much to look at frankly.
Some areas have little hilly peaks and troughs. You are not allowed to tread off the paths but it is still nice to look at.
In places, you can see uprooted and felled trees that have fallen on each other and just been left there. I find this gives the landscape a very dramatic effect.
What to look out for
The bunkers might not be everybody’s idea of a natural backdrop.
The ENTIRE area is on-leash only, and it does get checked.
You are not allowed to walk off the paths.
The trees are a little too young for my taste, but each to their own. They are more saplings than fully grown trees in my mind.

Treestylin are the Tree Removal and Tree Pruning specialists across Northern and Southern Gold Coast and South to the Tweed and Byron Shires.
Palm Tree Removal
Tree removal is a necessary part of landscape management. Selective removal of trees from crowded landscapes provides space for the remaining trees to grow. When space for building additions and other site changes are needed then professional removal is necessary.
Tree removal is also necessary when decay, structural decline or significant storm damage makes a tree dangerous. A proactive Risk Assessment will help you identify potential hazards. It is also a good idea to contact your Arborist after storms if you are unsure about the structural integrity of a particular tree.
Stump Grinding Gold coast
Dead, dying and defective trees must be removed to protect people and property. Removing these trees provides an opportunity to replant the site with young trees that are more appropriate for that location and improve the landscape.
Tree removal requires specialised equipment, and fully qualified and experienced Arborists to properly take down trees without harming lives or damaging property. Our company has years of experience and is fully qualified and insured to carry out this task.
For us, stump removal is an integral part of tree removal. Stumps left behind will decay and may become a breeding ground for fungus and termites as well as being an eye-sore. We have machines that convert the stump into mulch so that you can replant, re-turf or build over the very site that the tree has been removed from .

Tree Pruning & Trimming
Tree Pruning is one of the most important maintenance practices and can go a long way towards achieving that stunning garden or landscape you are after. The two main objectives of pruning are:
- To preserve and improve a tree’s health and structure.
- To reduce hazards or specific dangers that large overhanging branches may cause.
- Special care is taken to encourage structural integrity, appearance, safety and overall health of your trees.
Benefits of Pruning
There are a variety of benefits to be had from pruning, including removal of broken, diseased or dead branches in order to prevent decay-producing funghi from infecting your tree. Sometimes the removal of live branches is necessary in order to increase sunlight exposure to an area and increase circulation of air within the canopy.
Developmental tree pruning is done to achieve desirable branch architecture and structural integrity. This practice can essentially reduce the potential cost of dealing with problems later on in the tree’s life. Tree pruning for appearance and restoration is essential for maximising the beauty of mature garden landscapes.Safety audits and storm damage prevention is essential here on the Gold Coast and is crucial in eliminating danger and property damage from fallen limbs. In particular trees along driveways, pedestrian paths and surrounding buildings, and low hanging branches can become a hazard.
On the Gold Coast, Palm Cleaning is paramount as Palm trees are plentiful in our area. They give that tropical feel and are a beautiful addition to any property with their unique size and shape, which makes them stand out from other types of trees. But this also means they have some unique problems of their own.
Palms grow tall and shed their long fronds and outer layers, which can cause serious damage to your property during storms. Palms need regular professional cleaning to remove large dead fronds and seed pods.
Call the Professionals
Our professional arborists have all the tools necessary to clean and cut palm trees safely.

If you need a documented Tree Report, our AQF Level 5 Arborist will liaise with you in regard to your requirements and present you with an independent expert tree report.
Tree Reports may be necessary to:
- Provide a Vegetation Management Plan
- Accompany a Development Application for Council
- Tree Disputes, Tree Incidents or Hazardous Trees
- Land use changes or Tree Retention requirements
We perform site inspections and prepare Arboricultural Reports tailored to each situation’s legal requirements. Tree reports for property development are submitted relative to your planning permit and Local Council tree regulations. These tree reports account for any tree removal, tree replanting requirements, tree pruning, tree transplanting or tree protection zones required under relevant laws.
Tree Hazard Assessment
If you are worried about your tree’s health, falling tree limbs or whole tree failure, a detailed tree inspection by our Consulting Arborists can identify issues and advise on possible methods of addressing the tree problems. This tree advice may include tree retention or tree removal and tree replacement options.
Emergency Tree Services
Gold Coast Emergency Tree Services provides a 24 hour callout service. When a major storm hits, the result is often widespread damage to homes, trees and gardens.
Treestylin will prioritise visits to heavily damaged properties in the aftermath of a severe storm. We’ll get to work as soon as possible and clear away any wreckage and debris with the utmost speed and care.

Pond Creation & Ditch Management
| The addition of water into a woodland is both aesthetically pleasing as well as becoming a great source of interest and sustaining new habitats/territories for native bird life and insects. We can create small medium or large ponds for all of these reasons as well as the repairing or maintaining existing overgrown ponds.|
Ditch management is vital in certain areas where high levels of water can cause major issues especially on newly planted areas within your woodland and drainage ditches in these areas can be essential to avoid areas being flooded.
New ditches are also usually required on sites that have been clear-felled especially on sites where high precipitation is usual as the trees previously standing would have drawn up thousands of litres of water during their growing cycle and after felling some sites can become extremely waterlogged without this natural siphoning system.

July is the time of the year I switch out of planting mode… Although I will still do some planting as the summer progresses to fall… My main priority is now focusing on maintenance…
As with any plant… Perennials have their likes and dislikes… Some are more adaptive than others… However… For the best results… Provide a perennial with its preferred growing conditions, paying particular attention to the soil type and sun exposure. Water your perennial beds if rainfall is scarce… Mulch the soil well to retain moisture, slow down weeds, and keep the flowers and foliage free of dirt. Fertilization should also be considered, it should be done once or twice a year for best results.
Once you have provided the ideal growing conditions for your perennial plants, and annuals for that matter, there is little else you can do for your plants. Perennials are not difficult to grow, but they will be extremely rewarding for years to come if you just take a few simple steps to ensure that they look and perform their best.
Some perennials need to be staked so they grow straight and tall instead of flopping over on their neighbors. Staking also prevents plants from being broken by the wind and rain or weighted to the ground with heavy blossoms. The staking method should depend on the form of the plant. The best stakes are inconspicuous and easy to install… Green or brown material look best. Position the stakes early, before the plant needs them, so the foliage grows up and around the stake, making it inconspicuous.
Tall plants with slender, unbranched flower stalks, like foxglove and Delphinium, call for individual stakes to support each stem. Drive a bamboo or wooden stake into the ground besides the stem and loosely fasten the stem to the stake with a loop of twine. As the plant grows, add more ties at one foot intervals. The length of the stake should be three-quarters of the plants final height.
Clump-forming plants with many bushy, branched stems, such as aster, Shasta daisy, and chrysanthemum, can be supported with a ring of twine that’s attached to three to five steaks positioned around the clump. As the plant grows, add higher rings of twine in one foot intervals. The stems and flowers will bend outward and rest on the twine, covering it naturally. As another alternative, support the plants with small, twiggy branches cut from small trees or shrubs, a strategy called pea staking, or brush staking.
Staking your plants really isn’t an exact science, tons of products are available on the market including many “tomato-cage” style products. In all honesty, the tomato cages bought at the store are great for staking herbaceous perennials and annual flowers… But not tomatoes… My favorite tomato cage product is heavy-duty rebar mesh available at any construction supply store. This stuff is heavy-duty, will last five to ten years, and is tall enough to actually support a tomato plant throughout the entire year.
Cutting Back and Pruning
You can help tall, lanky plants grow more compactly and possibly avoid the need for staking by pinching them back. In spring, when summer bloomers such as balloonflowers or milky bellflowers are about eight inches tall, break off the growing tip of each stem by snapping it between your fingers or cutting it with handheld shears.
Late-summer and fall-blooming plants, such as asters, can be cut back twice. To make them bushier and lower, cut them back by half… First when they are four inches tall and again at sixteen inches tall. Chrysanthemums need to be pinched at two-week intervals until midsummer for prolific blooming and to keep them compact… Simply use your fingers to break off the tips of the stems above the first or second set of leaves.
You may also want to prune back some perennials after they bloom to tidy up or simply reduce their height. If a plants foliage looks shabby from mildew or exhausted after blooming. Cut it back to the base as long as you see new growth. The new stems will produce healthy, fresh foliage. Use hedge shears to cut back masses of stems and foliage.
Pinch or rub off side flower buds or branches of perennials such as peony, chrysanthemum, and hibiscus to channel the plants energy into a few large blossoms rather than numerous small ones. Remove the extras while they are mere suggestions of buds. This debudding practice creates larger, showier blossoms.
After perennials bloom, cut off faded flowers or flower stalks unless they will produce decorative seed heads. Deadheading keeps the garden tidy and directs the plants energy into its roots and leaves than into seed formation. If you are trying to propagate your plants, let them go to seed and do nothing… Nature will take over… Cut leafy flower stems right above the foliage for a neat appearance… Cut off leafless stems at ground level.
Removing spent flowers encourages more flowers… For example, pinching off the blossoms of balloonflower and coreopsis as they fade encourages more flowers to appear on the same stems, lengthening the blooming period. Cutting off the entire spent flower head on garden phlox or delphinium encourages side branches with a flush of new flowers a month after the first. If you don’t know if a plant will rebloom after deadheading, try it for crying out loud… That’s how I’m learning… Oh yeah… Then send me an email…
Most perennials, with a few exceptions, slowly decline in vigor unless they are divided every few years. Plant division rejuvenates the plant, and it provides more plants. Replant the divisions near one another so they make a dramatic drift. Or, plant them in a different location and establish a new bed.
As a general rule of thumb, divide spring-blooming plants immediately after they flower. Divide summer and fall bloomer in early spring when they have around three inches of fresh top growth. However, in the south, southwest, and Midwest, it’s advantageous to divide spring and summer bloomers in the fall so they can readjust in the cooler weather as opposed to the blistering heat associated with summer in these particular localities. Wherever you live, divide plants at least four weeks before stressful weather arrives, so their roots can have a chance to resume normal growth.
Some plants, such as Shasta daisy and chrysanthemum, have shallow, fibrous root systems. Once the clump is dug up, you can pull it apart into many sections with your hands. Other plants, such as astilbe, have tough, woody roots that grow in a tangled mass. Study the top growth to locate the individual crowns, then drive the tip of a spade between the crowns, cutting the clump into sections.
To minimize the damage to the root systems of fleshy-rooted plants such as daylily and hosta, use garden forks to divide them. Insert the forks back-to-back in the middle of the clump, then pull the forks outward, prying the clump into two pieces.
Fast growing plants will need to be divided more frequently than slow growers. A plant’s appearance tells you when it needs dividing. A clump resembling a doughnut, with active growth on the outer edges, but a dead center… Needs to be divided.
Before replanting the divisions, replenish the nutrients in the soil. Fork over the soil and add organic material if available… Basically, just don’t put the plant back in the same soil that caused the problem. Plant divisions as soon as possible to protect them from drying air and sun. If you can replant immediately, “heel in” the division in a temporary site or a pot… Covering the roots lightly with moist soil… Until you can plant… Water newly planted divisions and mulch the soil around them…

AMHERST — Work will begin next year on a $1.8 million renovation of the nearly 1-acre North Common adjacent to Town Hall with half the costs being paid by a federal grant.
The project has been on the drawing board about a decade and completion is expected in the summer of 2024.
“This is an outstanding award to the town made possible by the hard work of our town staff in seeking grants that help fund projects that are important to the town’s revitalization,” said Town Council president Lynn Griesemer.
The balances of the costs are expected to be paid via the town’s Community Preservation Act fund.
The work includes new walkways, improved lighting, tables and chairs, outdoor performance space, planting of new shade trees, rain gardens/storm water infiltration areas, public art, and a plaza in front of Town Hall.
“The design will honor the history of the North Common while creating a beautiful and accessible space for the entire community,” David Ziomek, assistant town manager, said in a statement.
Gabrielle Gould, executive director of the Amherst Business Improvement District, said that a renovated North Common will serve as “a stunning center” in downtown Amherst.

Diehard Biorush Plus is a combination of humic acid, cold water sea kelp, yucca extracts, beneficial bacterial and other components to “energize” the root zone of turf, shrubs, trees, and flower beds by providing food for the microbes in the soil, which in turn solublize minerals in the soil for plant uptake.
This product is used by mixing with water and injecting into the ground. It may also be sprayed onto the ground and watered in. Both types of treatments introduce the ingredients into the ground to feed existing soil microbes. Each bag is mixed with 25 gallons of water and treats a surface area of 1650 square feet.
Diehard Biorush Plus can be applied at anytime the ground is not frozen or not saturated.
Diehard Biorush Plus is available in the following sizes/variations.

People have been creating green roofs for thousands of years, with the earliest known examples found in records of ancient Mesopotamia (4,000 – 600 BCE) and the very famous hanging gardens of Babylon (605 – 562 BCE).
A green roof is simply a rooftop covered, entirely or in part, by vegetation and plant life. This can be done on a large scale, as is seen in green city projects, or on a much smaller scale in your own back yard.

- Because they’re protected by an impermeable membrane, vegetated roofs last longer than conventional roofs which will reduce maintenance costs
- Green roofs look beautiful
- Green roofs give all the benefits of nature that boost your wellbeing
- Green roofs can add value to your property
- Plant life reduces the impact of carbon dioxide and produces oxygen – great for your health and the environment
- Ecological architecture is the future – get ahead of the trend!
Where can green roofs be installed in a residential property?
Unless you want to invest in costly stabilisation options, you will want to install your green roof on a flat surface. This still leaves plenty of scope for a green roof project in a residential dwelling, including on:
- Porch roofs
- Flat roof of main dwelling
- Garden rooms
General tips for installing a green roof at home
- Green roof systems come in two main types – extensive and intensive. An extensive green roof is one which has a layer of soil that’s less than six inches. Intensive green roofs have a soil level of more than six inches. An extensive system is likely to be the most appropriate for your home green roof project, but this will depend on your personal preferences and where you will be installing it.
- To not affect the structure or safety of your roofing system, your vegetation should be grown on top of waterproof layers.
- Install your green roof on a flat surface unless you want to invest in costly stabilisation options.
- Lay a waterproof membrane on top of the plastic decking, then lay a plastic sheet over that to create a barrier between the plant roots and the membrane
- Add a suitable foam insulation that will work well with damp soil
- Add a drainage mat on top of the insulation
- Use gutter guards or edging around the perimeter of your flat roof for drainage and to hold everything in place
- Lay down soil (quantity based on the type of system you chose – extensive or intensive)
- Plant your desired vegetation and water!
With the growing urgency of the climate crisis, it’s important that we all do our bit to avoid disaster. That includes simple alterations you can make to your property – many of which will benefit you as well as the environment. Installing a green roof is a fun way to have a positive impact and it’s much simpler than most people think – choose your roof, make it waterproof, lay soil and plant!

This stunning 2.5 acre Cornish Cliff top location was modelled for visualisation purposes; the existing property is due for demolition and the architects, ADG Bespoke, are designing an impressive new property to grace the site. The advantage of the drone survey is that it enables a near photorealistic representation of the site. The drone enabled geometry and site data to be captured that would have traditionally been near impossible, combined with the benefits of a relatively short survey time (and thus disruption to neighbouring residents). This form of survey provides a model that allows the architects to truly design in context, as well as test views into and out of the proposals. This is of great benefit to the clients, as well as the Local Authority Planning Department in that external views of the proposal in its setting can be ‘proven’, thus further assisting with the planning and review process.


The refurbishment of a Victorian terraced house located off the North Circular Road.
The clients, being avid gardeners, wanted to incorporate pocket gardens in the scheme while minimising impact on light to the main house. The resulting layout creates a pocket garden between the main house and the rear extension and also allows the house to open up to it's south-facing garden. A mirrored storage wall reflects the pocket garden back into the extension as you enter.

The exterior of your home is often more important than the interior when it comes to attracting home buyers. If you are looking to sell your home or simply increase its value, start by incorporating curb appeal into your landscaping regiment. “Landscaping your property can provide a lot more than simple scenery,” says Royal LePage Realty Plus broker/owner Carlo Racioppo, “It also boosts the value of your home by creating visual interest and provides potential time and cost savings.” Many homeowners lead busy lifestyles. Here are some low maintenance landscaping tips to provide your home and property with curb appeal:
1. Use clover as an alternative to grass. Clover is a great replacement for grass for many reasons, including its ability to survive through drought, its low maintenance, and its cost savings. Clover ground cover is insect-resistant, therefore eliminating time and money spent applying and purchasing insecticides.
2. Apply a top layer of mulch to your gardens. Mulch is portable, absorbent, and visually appealing. It comes in a variety of colours and adds a finishing touch to your garden bed. As a highly absorbent material, mulch retains moisture longer than soil, eliminating the need to water your plants so regularly. In addition, mulch is made from natural ingredients and it decomposes. The decomposition process provides essential nourishment to the soil and the roots of your plants, below.
3. Choose plants that are easy to maintain, but also provide visual interest. Many kinds of perennial plants, for example, do well in shaded areas, are visually interesting, and require little maintenance. If you are an avid gardener, you know removing weeds from your garden can be a lengthy process. Some plants naturally grow tightly together, blocking out unwanted weeds. Others are deer-resistant. Your neighbourhood garden depot can offer advice on which plants to choose, depending on your needs.
If you are looking to maximize the value of your home while also maximizing your time and saving money, these three tips can help you get started. However, always be sure to consult a professional before taking on a landscaping project. For more information on creating curb appeal, visit www.royallepage.ca.


As soon as we close the gates on the last day of the season we are immediately thinking about the things we need to do for the following year. This year, one of our first jobs was to begin preparations for a new lavender display bed which will be along the edge of the yellow corn marigold wildflower area.
Once the marigolds had finished flowering we needed to cut them and prepare the ground for reseeding with wildflowers for next summer and leaving one area for the new lavender plants.
Once the ground has been cultivated, black plastic is laid in strips where the lavenders are to be planted. The plastic has a number of beneficial uses. It helps keep moisture in the soil, it is permeable so rain water can get through to the soil but it doesn't evaporate so quickly. It also, and very importantly, keeps weeds at bay which means that we do not need to spray with chemicals. Between the rows we sow grass seed, as well as looking much nicer than bare soil, it also is very helpful to keep weeds away and we can mow instead of spraying.
Normally we plant using machines but these plants are a bit bigger than the usual plug plants we use in the main fields so it was all hands on deck, planting by hand. We had help from the younger members of the team, keeping us well stocked with plants and making sure we put the right variety in the right place! We have planted 9 varieties of lavender and a total of 600 plants and we got them in the ground just before the rain came. Now we just have to try to persuade the crows to stop pulling them out to find the worms underneath!!

The site for this house was particularly interesting as it lay on the shore overlooking a spectacular salt mash nature reserve on the east coast of England.
The plot, by definition, was challenging as it was prone to tidal flooding and occasional isolation by rising water levels. The lower ground floor was to be below the extreme tidal flood level, experienced infrequently, and required very careful detailing to ensure it would withstand this occasional rise in water level.
This part of the building was designed to prevent penetration to the habitable spaces but allowed water into the garage area where a complete seal could not be achieved. Where water penetration could occur the building materials and construction details chosen needed to be robust and flood resistant.
The main living spaces were formed within the upper two storeys with bedrooms located within the mansard roof and daytime rooms at first floor well above the highest tidal range.
Due to the height of the building above the surrounding landscape the main spaces were accessed via external steps leading to a balcony level to the roadside creating an attractive terrace arrangement.
The Client’s brief emphasised their desire to maximise the exceptional views across the estuary, so the rooms were opened up to this elevation through large windows accessing a balcony and a roof terrace.
The result is a beautiful family home, future proofed from rises in sea level and overlooking a truly breath-taking land and seascape.


Designed for modern family life this immaculate home provides an open plan suparoom combining living, dining and kitchen space with French doors which open onto the patio and gardens beyond. There is also a separate family room and a utility room.
Upstairs are four comfortable bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms.
The gardens have been professionally landscaped with patio and seating areas, artificial lawn for easy maintenance and enclosed with brick and timber fencing and walls.
Tucked behind the garage is a good sized custom built home office/games room.


Cities have enormous power to shape both human and planetary health. A well-planned city can not only support the economic, social, physical and mental wellbeing of its inhabitants, it can also impact people and places far outside its borders. More often than not, urban design that prioritises the wellbeing of its residents generates benefits that are amplified globally.
The cities we want will be designed for people. That means reversing the trends of 20th century urban planning, in which humans were squeezed out to accommodate cars. In the future, public space will no longer function as storage for private vehicles; instead, pavements and other pedestrian areas will be expanded, and transformed into spaces that are safe, green, healthy and pleasant for everyone to use. Since building resilience to climate impacts is also an opportunity to make spaces more attractive for people to work, rest and play, the city will make smart and equitable use of trees, plants and other green and blue infrastructure to adapt to rising heat, clean the air, and make working and living in the city a pleasure.
On the roads, priority will be given to the most sustainable, healthy and efficient modes of transport. Active transport will not only be safe for everyone, it will be the most attractive option, as cleaner air, people-centred streets and well-designed quality walking and cycling infrastructure make it one of the most enjoyable ways to get around. Essentially, the future city makes it easy and desirable to live sustainable and healthy lifestyles.
We want cities that make it easy for us to access the things that make life meaningful - social connections, good jobs and educational opportunities, culture, play, nature. When we can access these things locally, our quality of life goes up and our carbon footprint goes down effortlessly. The future city will look like multiple compact neighbourhoods, designed around the ‘15 minute city’ principle developed by Carlos Moreno, in which city life is organised so that people can meet their everyday needs within a short walk or bike ride. As the city works to foster closer connections between people and places, the need for material and carbon intensive transport and infrastructure will be dramatically reduced.
Our cities will work well when they are designed for all. Transport infrastructure will be planned around the needs of all its users; everyone will have easy access to green spaces and clean air. Moreover, when cities are designed to foster sustainability, we promote greater equity globally, as citizens of wealthy countries are disproportionately responsible for emissions, while people in the Global South are disproportionately impacted by the rising temperatures that result from them. When cities act to reduce greenhouse gases, it helps to make the world a fairer place.
The city we want is one that understands that we are all connected. As centres of innovation, future cities will be pioneers of 21st century economic models such as Kate Raworth’s doughnut economics, which dispenses with traditional metrics for political and economic success and instead envisions all people everywhere thriving with safe ecological boundaries. Like the 15 minute city, this shift is already happening globally, with a number of cities adopting or piloting a city-scale version.
The future we want is in sight, and change is beginning now in cities.


Characterizing Urban Sprawl using Remote Sensing and a Simple Spatial Metric for a Medium-Sized City in Japan
要旨This study proposes a method to analyze urban sprawl of a medium-sized city using a combination of remote-sensing images and a spatial metric. The features of urban sprawl investigated in this study are greenery segmentation and isolated urban form, as measured using a spatial metric that quantifies and qualifies the configuration of the urban landscape. As a case study, urban growth in Toyohashi City, Japan is examined from 1972 to 2002. The results demonstrate that the proposed method provides an independent measure that captures the nature of the urban landscape and the manner of urban growth. The resulting information is presented visually in the form of urban-growth maps that promote intuitive understanding and enable the evaluation of the conventional urban management measure. This approach is useful for urban planning by local officials and communities within urban settlements throughout the world, as many urban settlements face common problems related to the management of urban growth.


Our vision is to provide all our guests with an amazing, romantic experience. Balinese Retreat is constantly endeavouring to improve customer service and exceed expectations. To this end we have in place the following policies:
- Professional customer service
- Accuracy and honesty in advertising
- Sound environmental practices
- Commitment to continuous improvement
- Compliance with health and safety
- Commitment to professionalism and ethical conduct in particular honesty in advertising
LUXURY DAY SPA SUSTAINABLE PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION
From the time of its inception, Balinese Retreat recognised and planned for the need to become an environmentally sustainable retreat to this end the following measures have been implemented:
Balinese Retreat is situated on a 1.2hectare site in Montrose Victoria. Much of the original vegetation has been maintained to create a habitat for wildlife and plant species. In addition, more than 200 native and indigenous plants have been planted in areas devoid of flora to re-vegetate the site. Thirty native Lilly Pilly plants were planted on the northern boundary in February 2008 and eighteen in September 2008. Over 600 trees, plant and shrubs have been planted since November 2005.
Mulching of the garden and borders occurs every four months to reduce evaporation and to provide plants with nitrogen and conserve water.
BAMBOO PLANTINGS AND CO2
Over 282 bamboo plants have been planted over the last five years. Recent research shows that one mature bamboo plant has the ability to absorb 0.5 tons of Co2 annually. On current energy consumption this means that our business may be carbon neutral.
INDEPENDENT WATER SUPPLY
Water Bore was established in December 2007. Sunk to a depth of 100 meters, the bore provides for present and hopefully future water requirements for the garden and ponds.
CONSTRUCTED WETLAND REEDBED
In December 2008 construction was completed of a state of the art waste water treatment plant designed to treat the entire waste water output from existing buildings. As part of our strategy to put all available waste water to good use we have built a 'Constructed Wetland'. This wetland has been designed to accommodate the waste water generated by the existing buildings as well as that of the proposed wellness retreat.
THE BENEFITS OF A CONSTRUCTED WETLAND:
Highly effective at waste water treatment Achieve stringent water quality stands with BOD removal of 85% and coli form removal of 95% Effective removal of nitrogen and phosphorous Used world wide to protect ground water and surface water resources Simplicity of design results in low operation and maintenance requirements Wetland vegetation used in the system give them the appearance of a flower garden The flowering areas of the wetlands provide a natural habitat for birds and other forms of wildlife

There are two basic types of roots, woody and nonwoody.Nonwoody roots are found mostly in the upper few inches of soil. As the largest native North American ash, the White Ash can sometimes reach or even exceed 80 feet in height. These are found throughout most of the northern hemisphere from northern Europe and Canada down to subtropical regions of North Africa. Maple tree root system diagram. Once you’ve chosen the species of ash you want, and worked out where you’re going to plant it, order your new tree from us. The primary function of these roots is to absorb water and nutrients. It contains 45-65 species of usually medium to large trees, mostly deciduous though a few subtropical species are evergreen. Unsuitable soil can often be modified though; compensate for a lack of organic matter with a slow-release fertilizer, and lower the pH of alkaline loams with rock sulfur or peat moss. There’s huge variety among these trees; most are deciduous but some of the southern species are evergreen. They are 8 to 15 inches long and consist of 5 to 13 oval leaflets with toothed margins. It’s a very impressive tree that puts on a vivid red display every fall. addthis_pub = 'cmbl'; United States land is covered by over 30 per cent with trees and forests. The tree appears to have 7-8 surface roots from what I can see and I just cut off 4 of them about 2 feet from the base of the tree yesterday. Does anyone have any other ideas or anything that has worked for them to get rid of it? Two ash trees need to be separated at least 60 feet to ensure enough space for development of root system. If you can choose a location near water that’s always good – close to a pond or creek, or even in a swampy patch . These beetles attack all native species of ash trees. Below the photos is information on different types of ash trees, including facts about the ash tree species, planting information, and close up colorful ash tree images.. Interior joinery is another common user of both European Ash and White Ash. Ash trees are hardy in USDA zones 3 to 9 with the possibility of the green ash tree surviving in zone 2b. Both words also meant "spear" in their respective languages. In urban areas willow tree roots … Rowans or Mountain Ashes are unrelated to true ashes and belong to the Genus Sorbus though the leaves and buds are superficially similar. The wood is hard (a hardwood), dense , tough and very strong but elastic, extensively used for making bows, tool handles, baseball bats, hurleys and other uses demanding high strength and resilience. 6 1 Figure 2.Plan-view diagram of the horizontal woody root system developed from a single lateral root of red maple about 60 years old.Sohd circles show the location of other trees m the stand.Arrows indicate that the root tips were not found; therefore these roots continued somewhat farther than is shown.From Lyford and Wilson, 1964. four meters (3 to 15 ft) from the trunk to form Ash trees usually have 5-9 leaflets per leaf. An ash tree that has been well looked after in the early part of its life will be healthier, less stressed and less vulnerable to pest and disease; to ensure you get a well-cared for tree it’s best to buy from a reputable nursery like The Tree Center. They’ve been known to ruin underground water lines and crack poured pavement. This hybrid like many maples also has an extensive root system that can sometimes be a problem for homeowners and gardeners. Poor soil is often the cause of disappointing fall colors, and the right fertilizer can brighten your tree’s annual display. Agree with Sid about the branches breaking easily and I would be concerned if it was near to the house.

The Recycling Center offers a variety of fill materials for your construction or landscaping project. We provide bulk delivery of topsoil and fill dirt from our Laurel retail yard in Howard County throughout Central Maryland, Baltimore and Washington, DC.
Screened topsoil is high-quality soil free of large debris, such as roots, rocks and sticks, and can be used in many finished grading applications and landscaping projects. It provides trees, flowers and other plants with the key nutrients they need to thrive. Our screened topsoil is tested and approved for use in public and private projects. Some common uses of screened topsoil include:
Our unscreened topsoil is a quality material with some large debris and root mat. It’s not as clean and ready for planting as screened topsoil, but it’s perfect for large fills where screened topsoil is not required. It can be used to build up planting beds as a base layer for screened topsoil.
Unlike topsoil, fill dirt doesn’t contain organic materials needed for successful planting. Fill dirt is bare of nutrients and is mostly used to fill construction sites and other uneven areas in residential and commercial construction and landscaping. Our fill dirt is clean and is not contaminated with metal, glass or other non-organic materials.

Spitalfields Market – Pedestrian Grating
Lamb Street in Spitalfields Market is a popular route for visitors to walk along with small retail and food kiosks. The area has been sympathetically transformed into a new public space while retaining a semblance of its industrial heritage.
Lang+Fulton have supplied 184m2 of open mesh floor grating for the pedestrianised area where customers can sit and enjoy the street food. A heel proof grating was chosen with a small 33x11mm aperture for a safe and comfortable experience.
