I was fortunate enough to attend a lecture by eminent Landscape Architect and Post-Modern theorist, Charles Jencks last week at the Garden Museum, in which he spoke about The Garden of Cosmic Speculation and his ongoing projects including Parco Portello, Milan & Namsan Park, Seoul in preparation of the EcoGeo Festival 2013.
I have always been a fan of Jencks and his land art. His iconic organo-scientific forms in landscape present a breathtaking and long-lasting vista, which I feel personally reaches a level of perfection that few other contemporary landscape architects can achieve.
Throughout the past few decades there are many examples of modern landscape architecture pandering to fashion and contemporary tastes, relying on extraneous gimmick, much of which now looks tired and dated. Whereas Jencks’ work offers a fluid design ethic so compatible with the classic view of nature, harking back to an age of poetry, underpinned by good solid scientific knowledge, that I can imagine his work being appreciated for generations to come, at the very least. His practical approach to landscape architecture, viewing the landscape as art being the precedent, it is fortunate that many of his clients are drawn to him via reputation. Ensuring that his commissioned work both as design construct and ethical vision reflects the natural grandeur of more personal works such as his family home, Portrack House, near Dumfries.
The question of Gaia or sustainability was put to him at the lecture to which his response was that the two are far from incompatible, and in fact an ethos of both streams of thought should be combined within the field. Aesthetics govern our discipline but that should sit within a greater need for spaces to commune with fellow man if not perhaps ourselves, whether we consciously comprehend all that we see or not.


The butterfly-shaped roof of a Palm Springs, California, Alexander home can be the most beautiful thing on the street, but when Darren Manson of design management firm MODify Palm Springs saw this home in a dilapidated state, he knew he had his work cut out for him—including a new paint job, completely revamped landscaping and the addition of a truly unique architectural feature.
“In the neighborhood it was in, it had great bones and all the potential,” he says. “It just needed the time and design to get it there.” And the first consideration was the color. After stripping off a bad ornament detail on the original midcentury door, Darren discovered the original Tiffany blue color of the door and inspiration struck. He went with a pigmentless white paint for the exterior for brightness and used a deep gray to accentuate all of the architectural moments, particularly the roof.
Then, he refreshed the blue door and the whole home came together. For Darren, picking the right color “is a mix of what was period for the house and modern influences. The house will lend itself to what color it wants to be.”
From there, landscaping was key. With considerable space between the house and the sidewalk to consider, as well as the Palm Springs climate, the landscape presented a unique challenge for Darren. Taking cues from current drought-tolerant trends, he opted to design a landscape that was minimal on maintenance while keeping a consistent look. Using decomposed granite as his base, Darren used native plants, such as barrel cactus and agave, for the perfect xeriscaping.
There was just one thing missing: “The front of the house was so plain, it begged for some detail,” Darren says. Taking inspiration from a room divider inside the house, he built up a custom architectural feature for the external wall. Building a small stem wall with concrete blocks, he patterned out 2x4s into a simple architectural screen. As a finishing touch, he installed lights behind the screen as well as in front of the statement agave to highlight the crowning features of the home at night. As Darren explains, “Lighting coming from different areas gets you bang for your buck and really creates drama.”

With a purpose to grow healthy, sturdy crops, it’s essential to enhance and enrich the soil. Add compost to the soil if you flip it over. Compost is the easiest way to add pure nutrients and texture to the soil. However, if you would like the satisfaction of doing all of it your self, listed below are my high suggestions for designing the garden of your dreams.
Guantee that any design you comply with has taken into consideration the drainage of the backyard. The last thing you will want to occur is for rainwater to finish up sitting in various parts of the backyard and never running away to the proper space. Address the drainage points early on and add the relevant land drainage pipes and soak away.
Then, you can proceed to pick out the design.
While it is rather easy to sow poppies straight into the garden border, if you want to handle your planting design a little bit extra rigorously it is a good suggestion to germinate specimens in seed trays. While this may take a little more time and nurturing it is going to permit you to develop a specific number of healthy and powerful plants. You possibly can then plant poppies out in the precise locations that you really want them, grouping and interchanging specimens as you see match. It’s also an effective way of garden designing if you’re using several colors, permitting you to rigorously choose complimentary hues to plant subsequent to each other.
Blend in with different buildings and panorama; The looks of the backyard shed, it is shape, measurement and color ought to blend in with other buildings in your property and maybe these of the neighborhood so it is not going to stick out like a sore thumb. The panorama including bushes, garden and slopes also can influence your choice.
Every backyard has a consultant zone.
When you’ve got decided to carry out the constructing work your self, you will of course be requiring specialist instruments, so have you ever thought of the hiring price of these instruments when placing together a budget of your project? Design Using Gutters First select all the greens you wish to grow. This may possible be far more than will match within the available backyard plot but it’s only on paper and no cash has been spent on seeds so let your imagination run wild. Now comes the arduous half, deciding what to not plant.
Younger fashionable designers could also be like red rags to traditional gardeners, however numerous their output seen at famous flower reveals offers a new slant on backyard layout. Fashionable garden designs tend to follow the tendencies of inside decoration – so paint-impact pots, trompe l’oeil and murals on partitions, colorful sheds and seats and loud, subtropical-look crops all have their place.
Particularly, it should have a protracted and distinctive form, both of the leaves and the overall development pattern. Additionally it is helpful if the plant is evergreen, or with a distinctive winter presence, corresponding to bark coloration or construction of branches. Implementing small garden design ideas does not require a plot of soil as a result of many plants can grow in containers.

Adhere to these directions and you will be prepared to get commenced with your herb backyard arrive spring time.
Getting ready a New Mattress
The first thing required when making ready a new mattress is to entirely get rid of weed seed from the backyard garden soil. This is critical so you will not have to be weeding your yard correct right after planting when it can disrupt the potential of your herbs to create correct root constructions. The method to get rid of weeds does not have to incorporate a whole lot of weed killer. how to make sandy loam This will produce a bed which is wrought with chemicals. The herbs you grow will have reminisces of the chemical substances still left in them. Considering that this is needless, there is no require to even go this route.
Contemplate the soil you have prior to obtaining started. If you have a hardy soil, assault it right after an early winter season rain. Use a shovel to dig deeply. Take away any weeds you see right absent and dispose of them effectively to defend the rest of your backyard garden. If you have mild soil, you will do far better to wait around until the early spring in get to do the identical factor. Soon after digging up the soil, go over the complete area with a four hundred grade black plastic sheet. This will avoid light from obtaining to any weed seeds which persist. Make sure to protect for at least one particular month ahead of planting.
Preparing an Existing Bed
The best time to remove weeds from present yard soil for herbs is for the duration of spring. You will do best to wait right up until the weather has warmed up a tiny bit.

Pinner Park Primary School has achieved yet another remarkable milestone in its journey towards fostering biodiversity and sustainability education, in collaboration with Ground Control and the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
The school’s project is aimed at enhancing biodiversity awareness for the next generation, and it has already left an indelible mark on the school grounds.
A total of 150 meters of native hedgerow, a thriving micro-forest, fruit-bearing orchard trees, and a wildflower meadow have been planted to promote biodiversity and sustainability.
In an exciting development, Pinner Park Primary School has appointed a group of young “Bumblebee Ambassadors” who are passionate about inspiring and engaging the school community.
A high point in this remarkable journey was the creation of the “Bee the Change Garden” by Ground Control in collaboration with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
This enchanting garden made a dazzling appearance at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show, where it showcased micro-actions within landscape design and management that can significantly enhance bumblebee habitats.
Several lucky children from Pinner Park had the privilege of visiting this garden during the show’s press day, gaining first-hand exposure to the wonders of biodiversity.
In a generous gesture to nurture the spirit of learning and further biodiversity education, Ground Control has donated the silver-gilt-winning “Bee the Change Garden” from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show to the school.
Now proudly displayed at the school’s main entrance, this garden serves as a permanent reminder of the importance of preserving nature and local wildlife within the community.
Nick Waldron, Headteacher at Pinner Park Primary School, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative: “As sustainability and biodiversity form integral components of our School’s curriculum, it is heartening to see our children continue their educational journey alongside Ground Control and the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
“The award-winning ‘Bee the Change Garden’; stands as an enduring symbol, reminding us all of our shared responsibility in nurturing and safeguarding the natural world within our local community.”

Growing bamboo is a great way to add some greenery and texture to your garden or backyard. However, one of the challenges that many bamboo growers face is getting their plants to grow straight. While bamboo is known for its flexibility and resilience, it can also be prone to bending or leaning if not grown properly.
There are several things you can do to encourage your bamboo plants to grow straight. First, make sure that you choose a species of bamboo that is naturally more upright and less prone to leaning. Additionally, planting your bamboo in an area with good soil drainage and plenty of sunlight can help promote healthy growth.
Another important factor in growing straight bamboo is proper spacing. Bamboo should be planted at least 3-5 feet apart from each other so that they have enough room to spread out their roots and grow vertically without competing for space or resources.
Benefits of Straight Bamboo
Straight bamboo has a variety of benefits, some of which include:
- Sustainable Material: Bamboo is a highly sustainable material that grows quickly and regenerates itself after harvesting. It requires fewer resources and produces less waste compared to other materials such as wood.
- Strength: Straight bamboo is known for its strength and durability. It has a tensile strength greater than steel, which makes it ideal for use in construction, furniture, and other applications.
- Versatility: Bamboo can be used for a wide range of purposes, from building structures to making clothing, furniture, and even paper products.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Straight bamboo has a natural beauty that is both elegant and rustic. It adds a touch of organic charm to any setting, making it a popular choice for interior designers and homeowners alike.
- Eco-friendly: Using straight bamboo as a building material is an eco-friendly choice. Bamboo is a renewable resource that doesn’t require chemical treatment or fertilizers to grow, and it absorbs more carbon dioxide than other plants, making it an effective carbon sink.
- Lightweight: Despite its strength, straight bamboo is lightweight, which makes it easy to handle and transport. This makes it an ideal material for use in areas where heavy building materials are not practical.
Overall, straight bamboo is a versatile, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing material that has a wide range of applications.
Step 1: Plant and Stake
Planting and staking are the first steps in growing straight bamboo. Here’s how to do it:
- Choose a planting location: Bamboo grows best in full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil. It’s important to choose a location with enough space for the bamboo to grow to its full size.
- Prepare the soil: Loosen the soil to a depth of 12-18 inches and mix in compost or other organic matter to improve soil fertility and drainage.
- Plant the bamboo: Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and deep enough to accommodate the entire root system. Place the bamboo plant in the hole and backfill with soil, pressing down firmly to remove air pockets.
- Water the bamboo: Water the bamboo thoroughly after planting, making sure the soil is moist to a depth of 6-8 inches. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
- Stake the bamboo: To ensure straight growth, it’s important to stake the bamboo after planting. Use a sturdy wooden or metal stake that is at least 6 feet tall and drive it into the ground next to the bamboo, being careful not to damage the roots. Tie the bamboo to the stake with soft twine or plant ties, making sure the tie is loose enough to allow for growth but tight enough to prevent the bamboo from bending.
- Monitor the bamboo: Check the bamboo regularly for signs of growth and adjust the tie as needed to ensure the bamboo grows straight. Water the bamboo regularly and fertilize it with a balanced fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.
Step 2: Prune Off Curved Shoots
Pruning off curved shoots is an important step in growing straight bamboo. Here’s how to do it:
- Identify curved shoots: As the bamboo grows, some shoots may start to curve or bend, which can affect the overall straightness of the plant. These shoots should be pruned off.
- Wait for shoots to mature: Allow the shoots to grow and mature before pruning. This usually takes about 2-3 months.
- Identify the right shoots to prune: Look for shoots that are clearly curved or growing in a different direction from the rest of the plant. These are the shoots that need to be pruned.
- Use sharp pruning shears: Use sharp pruning shears to make a clean cut as close to the base of the shoot as possible. Be careful not to damage the surrounding shoots or the main stem of the plant.
- Dispose of pruned shoots: Remove the pruned shoots from the plant and dispose of them properly. Do not leave them on the ground near the plant, as this can attract pests and diseases.
- Monitor the bamboo: Check the bamboo regularly for signs of new growth and any further curved shoots. Repeat the pruning process as needed to keep the plant growing straight.
Pruning curved shoots is an ongoing process and should be done regularly to ensure the bamboo grows straight. It’s important to be patient and vigilant in monitoring the plant and pruning off any curved shoots as soon as they appear.
Step 3: Train the Bamboo
Training the bamboo is an important step in growing straight bamboo. Here’s how to do it:
- Attach a guide wire: Start by attaching a guide wire to the top of the bamboo plant. Use a soft, flexible material such as twine or plant tie, and attach it securely to a nearby structure such as a fence or stake.
- Tie off the bamboo: As the bamboo grows, tie it off to the guide wire using soft twine or plant tie. Make sure the tie is loose enough to allow for growth but tight enough to keep the bamboo straight.
- Adjust the guide wire: As the bamboo grows taller, adjust the guide wire to keep it at the desired height. This will help keep the bamboo growing straight.
- Remove old ties: As the bamboo matures and becomes stronger, it may outgrow the old ties. Remove them and replace them with new ties that are adjusted to the plant’s new height.
- Repeat the process: Repeat the process of tying off the bamboo and adjusting the guide wire as needed until the bamboo reaches its full height.
- Monitor the bamboo: Check the bamboo regularly for signs of new growth and any further curvature. If any curved shoots appear, prune them off immediately and adjust the guide wire to help the bamboo grow straight.
Training the bamboo is an ongoing process and requires patience and vigilance. By following these steps and monitoring the plant regularly, you can help ensure that your bamboo grows straight and strong.
Step 4: Anchor Down with Ropes
Anchoring down with ropes is another important step in growing straight bamboo. Here’s how to do it:
- Choose anchor points: Choose two or more anchor points around the perimeter of the bamboo planting area. These can be trees, stakes, or other sturdy structures.
- Tie ropes to anchor points: Tie ropes securely to the anchor points, leaving enough slack to reach the bamboo plant.
- Loop ropes around bamboo: Loop the ropes around the bamboo plant, making sure to avoid damaging the plant or the leaves.
- Adjust the ropes: Adjust the ropes to apply gentle tension to the bamboo plant, pulling it in the desired direction.
- Secure the ropes: Tie the ropes off securely to prevent them from slipping or loosening.
- Monitor the bamboo: Check the bamboo regularly for signs of new growth and any further curvature. If any curved shoots appear, prune them off immediately and adjust the ropes to help the bamboo grow straight.
Anchoring down with ropes is another ongoing process that requires patience and vigilance. By following these steps and monitoring the plant regularly, you can help ensure that your bamboo grows straight and strong.
Step 5: Install a Growth Barrier
Installing a growth barrier is an additional step that can help ensure the bamboo grows straight and contained in its desired location. Here’s how to do it:
- Choose a barrier material: Select a barrier material that is durable and will prevent the bamboo from spreading. Common options include plastic or metal barriers.
- Dig a trench: Dig a trench around the perimeter of the bamboo planting area, about 18-24 inches deep and at least 2 feet away from the edge of the bamboo.
- Install the barrier: Install the barrier in the trench, making sure it is flush with the soil and stands at least 2 inches above the soil line.
- Backfill the trench: Fill the trench with soil and pack it down tightly to secure the barrier in place.
- Monitor the bamboo: Check the bamboo regularly for signs of new growth and any spreading roots. If any roots are found beyond the barrier, prune them off immediately.
Installing a growth barrier is an effective way to keep the bamboo contained and growing in its desired location. It is especially important for running bamboo species, which have a tendency to spread rapidly and can become invasive. By following these steps and monitoring the bamboo regularly, you can help ensure that your bamboo grows straight and contained.
Conclusion: Enjoy Professional Results
By following these steps, you can enjoy professional results when growing straight bamboo. Planting and staking the bamboo, pruning off curved shoots, training the bamboo with a guide wire, anchoring down with ropes, and installing a growth barrier are all important steps in the process of growing straight bamboo.
It is important to be patient and vigilant in monitoring the bamboo regularly for any signs of new growth or curvature. By doing so, you can catch any issues early and correct them before they become a bigger problem.
With proper care and attention, your straight bamboo can grow tall, strong, and beautiful, adding a unique and natural element to your garden or landscape.

Part Shade, Shade
This area had good bones from the beginning, so when we bough, we just fixed up the sidewalk and added new path lights. Over time I’ve added several perrenials, groundcovers and two Japanese maples. Although I’m never really done, I’d say this is the most finished garden on our property. If the weeds and slugs would magically go away I’d never need to touch it.
Part Sun, Part Shade, Dry Shade, Wet Shade, Bog Garden
Technically called a seasonal stream, this creek flows almost 10 months out of the year. At one point it would flow toward our house when the rain got heavy – yikes! We decided to fix this (good idea) so we removed the big dead trees, rolled back the ivy and poured concrete to extend an existing ditch we uncovered in the process, connecting it with the north fence where the water enters our yard. The following year I mortared river rock over the concrete to help it look a little more natural. This area is a weird mix of super-dry-under-Douglas-Fir and almost-always-soggy-with-sun. I’m still trying to figure it out.

Probably the most transformed area in the garden, I’ve been working to fix this up since we had a row of giant holly trees removed 8 or so years ago. Though it’s always a work in progress, I feel like it’s about 80% done. Or 70%. Ok maybe 60%. I have too many ideas and not enough summer. (I’m a wimp and refuse to garden in 40˚ rain)
The second sunniest spot on the property. I walk a fine line between having enough potted plants and worrying if the combined weight of those pots is a danger to the structural integrity of the deck.
The inside of our house is pretty dark, but I’ve managed to keep a few plants happy in a few spots – like the family room window that faces the deck, shown here. See them leaning toward the light? Actually the window sill is just cattywampus, much like the rest of our old house.
Blech, I wish I this looked better already! I’ve only recently made efforts toward this neglected strip of sad weediness. Shaded by dense hollies and cedars, the area is pretty inhospitable, with extremely dry and very poor soil. It’s a melting pot of weed species, and was a dumping ground for construction debris at one point. Last year I planted some hosta divisions to get a head start on renewing this area in 2017. There’s nothing like hardy hostas to make a desperate patch of soil start to look legit.


It seems as though drought is the new norm in Colorado. Last year we had a Stage 1 drought; this year we had a Stage 2. So when we Coloradans hear about trees that thrive in hot, arid conditions, our ears perk up. When those trees are also gorgeous, we get downright excited.
Three trees that thrill water-conscious homeowners are the Hot Wings® tartarian maple, golden raintree and Clear Creek® golden yellowhorn.
Hot Wings® tartarian maple, lovingly referred to as Acer tataricum ‘GarAnn’ PP 15,023, displays showy red samaras (those “helicopters” containing seeds) all summer long. You can use this versatile specimen not only in hot, dry areas, but also next to patios and under utility lines. The tree will eventually grow 25 to 30 feet high and wide. As for fall color, it ranges from ranges from yellow to orange-red.
Golden raintree (Koelreuteria paniculata) is so tough that it thrives in a parking lot island at Denver’s Eugene Field library. You can use this plant next to patios and paths, under utility lines or simply as a focal point in your landscape. In early to mid-summer, golden raintree rewards gardeners with panicles (pyramidal, loosely branched clusters) of bright yellow flowers. The flowers then give way to brown seed pods that resemble small Chinese lanterns. The plant will grow 25 to 30 feet high and wide.
Clear Creek® golden yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium ‘Psgan’) offers feathery green foliage, bright white spring flowers and brilliant yellow fall color. As a bonus, the tree also produces pods with edible seeds that reportedly taste somewhat like macadamia nuts when roasted. You can grow this plant as either a tree or a shrub and use it hot, dry areas, such as the west side of your house,as well as under utility lines. The tree will reach a size of 18-22 feet high and 10 to 15 feet wide at maturity. The yellowhorn is difficult to find in Denver-area nurseries, but I did find a small one at Echter’s Nursery & Garden Center yesterday.
If you would like more information on tree selection, you can read my Denver Post story, “Choose Tough Trees for Tough Spots in West’s landscapes,” at http://www.denverpost.com/grow/ci_23301547/choose-tough-trees-tough-spots-wests-landscapes?IADID=Search-www.denverpost.com-www.denverpost.com. Or if you live in the Denver area, you can attend my free workshop, “Right Tree, Right Place: Choosing a Tree for Your Landscape,” from 3 to 4pm Sunday, August 11, at the Schlessman Family Branch Library, 100 Poplar Street, in Denver.

Weather outside these days is perfect for hosting outdoor parties and grilling, hence you might be thinking of inviting some friends over to your place. However, before you send out invites, it is important to set the mood in the garden. For that you might need a slight revamp of your garden lighting. Secret of a great garden lighting lies in the subtle details and meticulous placement of such fixtures. Here are few tips which would help you achieve a cozy ambient feel for your garden through outdoor ceiling lights
and garden lighting
Beginning the proceedings with festoons
Outdoor spaces are a real luxury in today's day and age; hence if you are blessed with an open space, you should try and get the most out of it. For the laid back and relaxed feel, you need to play around with festoons, as the little dangling strings of lights lend a magical feel to the environment, which is great for a romantic dinner or even for a get-together with friends. Ideally you would tie both ends of strings to the trees passing right above your dining table, however if that's not the case then you could use couple of polls and tie the strings to these polls. Fixtures such as String Lights Cone Pendant are tailor-made for outdoor landscape lighting and you should use them for your garden sitting area.
Highlighting the center piece
Each garden or an open space has a defining element, this could be a central tree, a bed of bushes or a fountain, since it is the most eye-grasping element of the space, you need to further highlight it with a lighting fixture. In case of a tree you could deploy moon lighting from the top through the fixture Moon Outdoor Wall Sconce
, or else you could simply resort to upward lighting through small fixtures such as Nautilus MR16 Stainless Steel Portable Outdoor Luminaire
. If it's some sort of a shaded area, you could underscore that with outdoor ceiling lights
If you happen to have a water passage in your garden, then you're in luck as light and water go hand in hand, you should employ fixtures such as Nautilus Par38 Stainless Steel Portable Outdoor Luminaire
, to highlight the water passage and if done right it could impart an "elvish garden" feel to your space, making it booth soothing and enchanting. Outdoor haging lights
are a great option to ascend a grandpa tree, it will impart a more aesthetic look to the tree and would further complement your overall garden lighting scheme.
Flirting with lanterns
Lanterns confer a rustic feel to your garden, owing to their diverse usage; they are considered a great addition to garden lighting scheme. You could deploy pieces like Roxy 12" Lantern Pendant Light on the pathway leading up to the main sitting area; it could evoke feelings of "stairway to heaven". However, if you like to keep stuff casual then, having a couple of lanterns on the dining table would not be a bad option either. In fact, it would uplift the tempo of the dining room, at the same time imparting a chic feel to the space.
Beef it up with bulkheads
Establishing the right balance between ambient and task lighting is the real challenge when the space in question is outdoor. No doubt, pieces like festoons and lanterns are rustic and unique; however there should be something which could make up for these comparatively small sources of light. Bulkheads come up as an automatic choice for gardens, owing to their rustic demeanor; they could be employed on walls and could be used as primary source of task lighting. Pieces like Cubix 1 Flood/Object Light
are great for open spaces, however if you want something classic and different then you might fancy something like Nautilus LED 304S Portable Outdoor Luminaire
. Moreover outdoor pendant lighting
is also a good option for garden parties and get-togethers.

As readers of the 2020 book, RECONOMICS: The Path To Resilient Prosperity know, regeneration of our natural, built and socioeconomic assets is the key to building real resilience.
So it was good news when, on June 18, 2021, global design firm Arcadis—which employs 27,000 people and is active in more than 70 countries—announced its partnership with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to launch a $53 million program designed to engage property owners across the city with resilience-boosting measures that will help revitalize local and regional environmental health.
Spanning all five boroughs and targeting properties over 50,000 square feet, the program will seek out private properties with large, impervious areas and offer funding, guidance and installation of green infrastructure practices.
In addition to greening the city, green infrastructure helps reduce and manage stormwater runoff and provides urban heat island reduction, healthier air and habitats for birds and pollinators.
“If you own a larger property in New York City, we will be coming to your door to offer funding and assistance to help upgrade your on-site drainage system and allow you to contribute to a greener and more livable New York City,” said DEP Commissioner Vincent Sapienza.
“This is the largest incentive program in the region, and it is a demonstration of our commitment to better manage stormwater generated from private properties across the five boroughs,” he added.
As large cities around the world grapple with increasing populations, inequalities and budget constraints, creative funding approaches that tackle city-wide regeneration are critical to long-term social, environmental and economic resilience.
With more than 70% of the city covered in impervious surfaces, installing green infrastructure city-wide will significantly reduce stormwater runoff and in turn, improve the health of surrounding rivers and harbors.
“Globally, people are eager for opportunities to live a more sustainable lifestyle, and we are thrilled to partner with DEP to help make that happen in New York City,” said John McCarthy, president of Arcadis’ water business in North America.
“This project reflects an innovative approach to stormwater management that will improve how New Yorkers experience water, adapt to climate change and provide lasting environmental benefits to the waterways that have shaped the city for generations,” he continued.
Over the past 15 years DEP has invested approximately $16 billion to upgrade and improve the city’s wastewater system and reduce sewer overflows. As a result, New York Harbor is cleaner and healthier today than it has been since the Civil War.


Updates to the Winamac Park Pavilion are now complete. Park Manager Dave DeLorenzo told the park board last week that he and staff from the town’s wastewater and electric departments have finished the new landscaping around the building. That involved removing the plants around the building and replacing them with landscaping stone.
Park Board President Courtney Poor commented that the work turned out well. “It looks nice,” he said. “They did have to do a little bit more digging down to get the grading. But I walked around it a couple different times, and I was very impressed.”
Park board members hope the change will help protect the historic structure from future moisture damage. Several repairs were recently done to the pavilion itself.

This amazingly modern abode by Chris Price from architecture firm Park City Design+Build stands out in a sleek manner amid the natural setting. Without a doubt, the most challenging aspect of designing the residence is the steeply sloped site. Dubbed 'TreeHaus' and located in a popular ski resort near Salt Lake City, Utah, the house's integration into the hillside is essential to the layout and exterior aesthetic.
With an intricate attention to detail and positioning, as well as some last-minute on-the-fly decisions, architect Chris Price successfully submerges the modern abode with the surrounding landscape. The result is a family-oriented residency that captures the eye by way of its stacked volume design and the contemporary aesthetic of the darkly stained cedar planks.

Garden lighting design ideas – how to emphasizes individual elements
Garden lighting, including outdoor building illumination, is provided by a system of fixtures. It emphasizes individual elements and creates an unforgettable atmosphere. Undoubtedly the main goal is to get the best effect.
Modern garden lighting ideas and design plan
Except creating an ambient atmosphere, garden lighting has to emphasize certain elements and secure safety at night. The typical outdoor illumination plan is designed in a few important lines. The first light line outlines the borders of the whole garden. Usually, this line is referred to as contour lighting. The fixtures are compact and in most cases they are unnoticeable in day time. The second line has a decorative function – it illuminates the plants – bushes, rocks and trees. A good idea is to use halogen lamps in green shades as they make the plants and trees look alive. For a better visual effect, fixtures should be positioned on a distance from the objects. The third line in the outdoor lighting plan is the one that illuminates the paths. This line can be accomplished with hidden or visible light fixtures. Low bodies with good optics can scatter light to a large area, without interfering with the eyes. The distance between the bodies depends on their size. Low lights are recommended for small gardens because they keep the coziness of the space.
Garden lighting and light fixtures
The high quality garden lighting has high-end optics and maximum effect is achieved with energy saving fixtures. The glass which is used in high quality outdoor fixtures usually has is a diffuser, whose prisms create an even glow. Three types of glass are most popular in the production of outdoor lights – the so-called security type is tempered with maximum impact resistance and optical structure inside. The white opal glass is used in private gardens and has a better optical structure. Crystal glass has an optical structure, which allows a maximum light direction. Outdoor lighting fixtures should be treated with special paints which are resistant to scratching and corrosion. The body itself must be able to protect the lamp against electrical damage.

Having a tree-pruning session in order to get rid of foliage is a very common practice in the field of agriculture. However, this may not be the best alternative if your aim is to create a really attractive landscape. Instead, you should make sure that you do not require pruning when you have planted a tree. In fact, one of the factors which tend to make foliage even more prominent is the presence of weeds which may try to compete with the size of the plant.
If you have garden plots in which you are planning to plant trees in the future, it would be a better idea to think about pruning your trees from the start. You should take note of the number of leaves which your trees have and if they seem to be too crowded with leaves. Once you determine the overall proportion of the soil in which your trees may be placed, you can easily create the perfect landscape in which you can enjoy your tree.
However, the best thing about tree pruning is that the necessary process of this activity can even be carried out by you. All you need to do is to thoroughly clean your trellises and for some trees, this can even be done by you.
In order to be able to gain some benefit from the basic procedure of pruning, you should remove the leaves in the spring time. In this time, you will find that the leaves will remain out on the landscape. In this way, you will be able to study the sizes of the plant without having to deal with the leaves all through the year.
In the fall time, it is recommended that you should not prune the leaves of your trees. This is because there are several insects that feed on the leaves of your tree’s and they may inject harmful substances into the foliage.
If you do not prune your trees in the fall time, you will find that your trees have low chances of surviving the winter time. When it comes to the spring time, you should start the process of pruning in the middle of the month. Even though your trees may be too small, you can use the tips given above to try to make them bigger.
Tree pruning is the only method you need to use in order to have an overall landscape which you can enjoy for a long time. This will ensure that your tree is not dwarfed by the foliage that surrounds it and will actually help you reap the benefits that you deserve.

Designs for Centenary Square by Birmingham-based architecture and design firm Broadway Malyan have won the ‘People’s Choice’ accolade in the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) selection process.
Birmingham City Council held an open design competition to find a designer for the re-vamped Centenary Square in conjunction with the RIBA. Broadway Malyan was one of five practices to be shortlisted from a total of 185 entries.
‘The People’s Choice’ accreditation is a significant endorsement for Broadway Malyan’s designs and creative ideas for Centenary Square which, according to lead Public Realm Designer and Director of Landscape Architecture Danny Crump, took ‘a place in time’ as its central idea and sought to look to the past, present and future in creating a world-class public space for Birmingham.
Commenting on the accolade, James Rayner, Board Director at Broadway Malyan, said:
“Winning the “People’s Choice” accolade in this top quality, international design competition is an honour and means a great deal to us as a business with strong connections with Birmingham. It was a fantastic opportunity to be part of a process that will help shape Birmingham’s future and we applaud Birmingham City Council and its sponsors for taking this open competition route. Centenary Square is a vital part of what gives Birmingham its distinct character and it’s great to see major investment being made to ensure it continues to serve an ambitious and world-class city. We congratulate the winner and look forward to seeing Centenary Square evolve over the next few years.”
Broadway Malyan is currently working on a number of other high profile schemes in the city including preparations for ’One Station Public Realm’ the new HS2/Moor Street/New Street station interchange space and also a new ‘gateway’ scheme for Snow Hill station. Also locally, the practice is working on a redesign and improvement scheme for the University of Coventry’s Gosford Street Campus.

Huron Hospice Memorial Forest announced
The Huron Hospice, along with the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association, has announced plans for a Memorial Forest on the property behind the residence.
Co-Chair Jay McFarlan said they have 12 acres on the property and the Memorial Forest will be located on the back six acres.
“As it currently exists, it’s meadow and natural marsh and we’ve been thinking about ways that we could use the space and contribute to our program, do something that’s relevant to hospice. And we think establishing a Memorial Forest is a great way to continue with the therapy and the outdoor space,” he explained
McFarlan said the Memorial Forest will be built around the Tranquillity Trail that’s already there and is maintained by the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association.
“A lot of the time people want to do something in memory of their loved one and this is something that’s common with a lot of people, they want to do something in memory of that loved one and planting a tree, you know, it’s a symbol of life and growth,” he added.
McFarlin said the deadline for ordering trees to be planted this fall would have to be ordered by August 31, but they’ll take tree orders year-round.
More information about the program and how to order a tree can be found on the Huron Hospice website.


patio design. Saturday , January 06th , 2018 - 08:04:19 AM
Get the best quality stone you can afford then the patio will last longer and stay looking good for many years. A patio should never be designed in isolation without considering the rest of the garden. A well designed garden where all the elements are in scale with each other and the house will connect the house and garden. A balanced design that includes a patio or multiple patios will give the garden coherence and ensure that it is a pleasant, comfortable space in which to spend time.
Besides patio coolers, you can also consider using flagstone patio designs as it is quite a common and affordable. There are innumerable design themes that you can introduce with flagstones. A great plus for you is the wide selection textures, looks or feels that flagstones come with. You can choose from the innumerable colors and patterns of these flagstones, which add a distinctive design to your patio design.
Due to the fact a patio will be usually situated in close proximity to the house, the terrace styles should either enhance or contrast the existing material from the house in type and colour. Some concrete patios are left in the authentic grey color, although artificial additives are often used to change the color of the concrete to virtually any colour sought after. Many different styles for sculpting the sides and surface of fresh cement are also obtainable, to permit a for sturdy concrete patio and to appear and feel like individual tiles or stones.

UNESCO Chair for cultural heritage and urban development© städtebau
Cities and regions around the world are affected by structural change and are facing comprehensive transformation processes, many of which have yet to emerge. Mitigation and adaptation to climate change, rural exodus, resource management and resilience, as well as the co-productive design and planning of cities and regions are key challenges for sustainable and inclusive development while considering and safeguarding cultural heritage.
In order to adequately address these challenges, the Chair of Urban Planning and Design and the Institute of Urban Design and European Urban Studies applied for the successful recognition as UNESCO Chair for Cultural Heritage and Urbanism with a thematic focus on safeguarding the intangible and tangible heritage of the built environment.
The application to establish the UNESCO Chair, located at the Institute for Urban Design and European Urban Studies of the Faculty of Architecture at RWTH Aachen University, was positively approved by UNESCO in Paris in fall 2022 and will be established in spring 2023.
The UNESCO Chair is thus part of the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chair Program. The Chair's task is to shape the transformation of cities and neighborhoods in a sustainable way, with special attention to cultural heritage. In research and teaching - especially with the Master's program "Transforming City Regions" - the Chair wants to dedicate itself to interdisciplinary education and international transformative research. To this end, among other things, two UNESCO-themed courses are offered each semester. In close cooperation with the German UNESCO Commission, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, the UNESCO World Heritage Center and the organizations ICOMOS, ICCROM and IICN, the discourse on the future of historic urban landscapes will be conducted.

What is the defensible space around your home? Simply put, it’s an area where you have cleared away anything that could make it easier for wind and fire to damage your home. Your defensible space can be divided into 3 zones. The area within 15 feet of your home should be free of anything flammable and loose debris. This means that you should cut down trees and bushes and eliminate branches and leaves from the ground.
In the second zone which goes out to between 75 and 125 feet from your home, you can have some bushes and trees, but they should be spread out so fire can’t spread from one to the next. You should also keep the ground as clear from debris as possible.
The third zone will go out to the boundaries of your property, and there you won’t need to be as diligent with trimming, but at the same time, you shouldn’t let it grow wild.


Here’s an architects vision of the new “Marketplace” from 1978′s (It’s) Time (for Springfield). The idea was to turn an agglomeration of several Main Street and Market Street buildings as well as Market Street itself into an interconnected pedestrian mall. It was done, and the design was superb. Unfortunately the demand for downtown retail never materialized, the surface parking lot at a pivotal corner was never developed into an anchor for the project, and it has degenerated into a mostly empty, if not unattractive, urban byway.
The design is such that a change in public habits along with a corresponding change in building programming could quickly turn this area into a spectacular asset to people in the downtown. On the other hand, in an unusual twist, the “atrium” as actually built turned out much better than this architect’s rendering!

Add some showy flair to your outdoor space with the Flare™ Hydrangea. White flowers bloom in cone-shaped clusters that are wide at the bottom and narrow near the top. The white flowers of the Hydrangea paniculata gradually fade into a vibrant shade of reddish-pink starting at the bottom of the cluster and working up to the tip. Woody stems support the flowers and broad green foliage that comes to a point.
Plant this mounded upright beauty in a bed, use it in a decorative border, or line a walkway. Feature this shrub near the front of a bed due to the compact size, or plant this Hydrangea in a container for placement in various locations. The show-stopping blooms also make excellent cut flowers. This low-maintenance Hydrangea is also very hardy and grows as a perennial in USDA zones 3 through 8.
Flare™ Hydrangea Care
Plant this shrub in full to partial sun and water weekly or when the soil dries out. New plants and container-grown plants need regular water, but established plants in the ground can dry out somewhat. Soil should be rich and moist but allow for good drainage.
Flare Hydrangea bloom on new wood, so trim as needed in the fall after the flowers fade. Avoid cutting the plant in the spring because this may reduce the number of flowers. Fertilize using a plant food with a ratio like 15-30-15 to encourage more blooms.
Flare™ Hydrangea Spacing
Flare™ Hydrangea will grow 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Space plants 2.5 to 3 feet apart to create a dense planting. Use a 14- to 16-inch container when grown in a pot.

Mums go free at Trewithen Garden on Mothering Sunday, March 15th – an ideal tonic to banish the winter blues.
The garden, in Grampound, between Truro and St Austell, is famed for its breathtaking spring displays – with swathes of colour from hundreds of camellia to the stunning pink blooms of towering magnolia trees. Even the driveway is ablaze, flanked by hundreds of golden daffodils.
There is something to discover at every turn of Trewithen’s level gravelled pathways – champion trees, rare shrubs, exotic ferns, woodland glades and one of the longest and most spectacular lawns in Cornwall.
“The garden is already full of colour and it promises to be an excellent flowering year because of the cold snap we had in February,” said Head Gardener, Gary Long.
This year Trewithen also marks its 300th anniversary. In celebration there is an extra attraction, an exhibition to illustrate the estate’s history from the earliest building works through the creation and development of the garden to its status as an International Camellia Society Garden of Excellence – one of only 40 worldwide (and one of only five accredited in the UK).

Superior Manufacturing Technology
Our budget-friendly, Unilock Classic pavers and walls are manufactured to exceed ASTM standards for quality and strength. Available in classic shapes and styles, these products utilize a traditional product mix of large and small aggregates that’s consistent from top to bottom with color mixed throughout.
The refined surface of Unilock EnduraColor products is achieved with a two step manufacturing process that combines a base of coarser aggregates for a stronger foundation, with concentrated color and wear-resistant finer aggregates on top. This process protects the surface from the appearance of fading over time because the top layer prevents large, lighter color aggregates from ever showing through.
Deep, rich colors and a multitude of unique Reala™ textures combine to deliver the timeless beauty of Unilock Elegance. From the timeworn look of European cobblestones, to the classic luxury of riven natural stone slabs, our Elegance collection offers styles you can’t get anywhere else, and thanks to Ultima Concrete, the look you purchase is the look that will last, with up to 4x the strength of poured in place concrete.
EXCLUSIVE UNILOCK® TECHNOLOGIES
A multitude of natural stone surfaces, brick and historic cobblestones were castto create Unilock products utilizing Reala technology. The result is a wide variety of authentic textures with consistent dimensions which are more cost efficient to install.
Only Unilock has the technology to manufacture Ultima Concrete here in North America, resulting in pavers and walls with up to four times the strength of poured concrete. The look youpurchase is the look that will last.
Color and granite particles are randomly dispersed using proprietary ColorFusion technology to achieve a unique mottled surface that resembles natural granite.
Unlike after-market sealers which merely coat the top, EasyClean goes beyond the surface and becomes integral to the product during manufacturing. The result is enhanced surface color and protection from stains.
