A mulch is a basic requirement in gardening for various purposes. It doesn’t only create a neat, even layer appearance, but also reduce the loss of water from the soil. In addition to that, it helps build a barrier against weeds that start to grow and potentially destroy or harm your plants. It basically stimulates the growth of your plants by adding nourishment to the soil.
Layers of mulch may be composed of decaying or brown leaves, compost, bark or straw. Usually, they are more mixed. You can choose organic or inorganic, but it’s strongly recommended to opt for the former.
Nevertheless, it’s initially important to determine how much mulch you need. Knowing the answer to that involves measuring and calculating. That means you must also know how many cubic feet in a yard of mulch. Do not just guess the amount because you’re definitely going to end up having insufficient or spending a lot of the cost. The last thing you do is wasting both money and time.


PALMDALE – Local, county and state officials gathered Thursday to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Amargosa Creek Recharge project.
The project — a collaborative effort between the City of Palmdale, Palmdale Water District, Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency and the Los Angeles County Water Districts — will bring water from the California Aqueduct to a series of recharge ponds where it will percolate into the aquifer beneath the ground.
Speakers at the groundbreaking ceremony included Palmdale City Manager James Purtee, Mayor Elect Steve Hofbauer, Councilmember Austin Bishop, Gabino Vazquez from the California Department of Water Resources, Adam Ariki from Los Angeles County Waterworks, and Kathy MacLaren from the Palmdale Water District.
“This project, which has been in the planning stages for quite a while, will accomplish two very important things: one, and most important, it will recharge the groundwater basin beneath Palmdale, while creating a natural recreation space for residents,” Purtee said. “And eventually, recycled water from our wastewater treatment plant will also be piped to the recharged basins to further help feed the aquifer.”
“One of the most impressive things about this is that it’s a joint effort,” Hofbauer said. “When you have so many different agencies involved in one project, it can often be a complicated and tricky process. But my hat’s off to the staff and leadership of these agencies, as well as the contractors for the job, Nicholas Construction and Bowe Contractors, who came together with an exceptional plan and roadmap to make this important project a reality.”
“In addition to providing much needed water recharge for our basin, the project also includes plans to create a nature park along the recharge area, to be used for habitat restoration and as a pleasant area for residents to visit,” Bishop said.
The project is expected to cost $17 million and is expected to open in 2019.

Fort Meade Embraces Downtown Changes
Published: Saturday, May 17, 2014 at 11:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 17, 2014 at 11:08 p.m.
FORT MEADE | City commissioners in Fort Meade said they're ready to move ahead with a plan for sprucing up the city's downtown, including creating walking paths to nearby parks, erecting gateways into downtown and pursuing public art.
The commission has adopted a vision plan for downtown, which calls for redesigning Broadway Street to allow for landscaped medians and parallel parking.
With a plan now in place, the next step is funding, and commissioners asked city administrators to start seeking out grants to pay for the improvements.
In reviewing the plan, Commissioner Barbara Manley said one element that caught her eye had little to do with downtown Fort Meade.
"The one thing I really liked was the idea for a crossing at the Sixth Street North," she said.
Mayor Bob Elliott responded, "You took the words right out of my mouth."
Sixth Street crosses Charleston Avenue, a four-lane highway that slices through the city from north to south.
"I know it's not downtown, but I'd like to start with the Sixth Street crossing," Elliott said.
As for downtown, planners with the Bartow-based Central Florida Regional Planning Council worked with city officials and residents to draft a concept that would preserve the community's historic charm while upgrading the downtown's appearance.
Six opportunities are identified in the plan:
Gateways on the east and west ends of downtown.
Redesign of the Broadway Street roadway.
A new downtown park.
An in-town trail system to area parks.
Supportive policies developed by city administrators.
Advancing the arts.
In redesigning Broadway Street, which traverses downtown, the plan calls for reducing the width of traffic lanes, expanding the sidewalks, shifting from angled to parallel parking, enhanced landscaping, mid-street landscaped medians, crosswalks and seating along the sidewalks.
Business owners downtown voiced concern about the proposal for parallel parking, saying they will lose parking spaces that already are at a premium, but residents said they'd be willing to make the trade to improve the appearance of downtown.
The in-town trail system would create walking and biking paths to area parks, including Patterson Park on the city's north side. That's where the crosswalks come in across Charleston Avenue, which is also U.S. 17/98.
At this month's City Commission meeting, city administrators committed to making the necessary adjustments to city policies to facilitate the improvements.

Big ideas needed for Reimagining Campbelltown City Centre
Published on 05 September 2019
Now is the time for residents to help shape the attractions, iconic places, jobs and infrastructure that will define the future Campbelltown.
Community consultation has started on Phase 2 of the Reimagining Campbelltown City Centres (RCCC) project which will create a blueprint for the city centres of Campbelltown, Macarthur and Leumeah over the coming decades.
Council wants to hear the community’s ideas for large-scale projects and experiences that will enhance the region by attracting investment and tourism to help establish a sustainable, resilient and prosperous Campbelltown in the heart of the Western Parkland City.
“We want to hear the bold new ideas for future landmarks and attractions that will place Campbelltown on the map. No idea is too big,” Mayor George Brticevic said.
“Reimagining Campbelltown will shape our city centre over the coming decades, ensuring we prosperously grow the city while protecting our environment and heritage,” Cr Brticevic said.
“This is an ambitious project that will support our future and proactively capitalise on the opportunities for growth in Western Sydney,” he said.
The RCCC vision identifies Campbelltown as a place of economic opportunity and connectivity that maintains its links to the unique bushland and cultural heritage of the area.
This masterplan will harness the benefits of the growth that Campbelltown will experience, ensuring that we are proactively planning for a city that can support the best possible lives of our residents, business owners, workers and students.
The enhancement of green spaces and waterways through the city centre will be identified as part of the master planning process, ensuring Campbelltown’s status as a green city remains at the forefront of planning decisions.
In an online survey, people are asked the five things they love about the city, the five things they would change and their big ideas to help develop the masterplan for the city centre.
The survey is open now and a community collaboration workshop will be held on the morning of Saturday 14 September. Anyone interested in attending can register as part of the online survey.

Hi everyone! Okay, so you may know me as a Young Adult novelist and a Literary Agent, but today I’m excited to announce that I’m also now officially a Picture Book author!!!
My husband, Landscape Architect Baldev Lamba and I have penned a picture book text titled GREEN, GREEN, which focuses in community gardening in a city.
Here’s the deal announcement in Publisher’s Marketplace:
January 15, 2015
Literary agent and Young Adult author Marie Lamba and landscape architect Baldev Lamba’s debut GREEN, GREEN, a celebration of community gardening that reveals how green land grows into a vibrant city, and how an unused lot is made green again, to be illustrated by Eisner Award nominee and HERE I AM illustrator Sonia Sanchez, to Susan Dobinick at Farrar, Straus Children’s, by Jennifer DeChiara at The Jennifer DeChiara Literary Agency (NA).
Baldev and I have collaborated on many an article in the past, all centered on garden design elements, and our pieces have appeared in national magazines including Gardens & Landscapes, Garden Design Magazine, and Your Home. It’s been a while since we’ve worked together on a piece, and this is our very first picture book together. Baldev is associate professor of Landscape Architecture at Temple University, and owner of Lamba Associates, Inc, an award-winning Landscape Architecture firm. Among his wide range of past projects are a number of urban gardens, including, most recently, the PHS Pops-Up urban garden in Center City, Philadelphia that grabbed a lot of attention. He’s also designed a number of Temple’s award-winning exhibits at The Philadelphia Flower Show, including one titled “Metromorphosis,” so urban renewal and community gardening has been floating around in both of our brains for a while now.
And speaking of “for a while,” it’s wonderful to be turning my mind back toward picture book writing after so many years. It’s where I started out, going to college to study writing and fine art and trying a few picture books, then I found myself penning novels instead. Picture book writing feels like coming home creatively for me, somehow — and I’ve got a few more in the works right now. Fingers crossed!
Special thanks go to our wonderful editor Susan Dobinick, our amazing agent Jennifer De Chiara, and to Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers for believing in this manuscript.
I think they are shooting for publication in Spring 2016. I’m SO EXCITED, and can’t wait to see the gorgeous illustrations Sonia Sanchez will produce to pull this all together.


Are you ready to create the most beautiful and truly inspirational interior garden? If you are then I want to share with you some of the best tips that will help you create your dream garden. There are many ways you can go about doing this and all of them require a little bit of planning and preparation. When it comes to creating your garden the tips that follow will have you in the right direction so that you can have a magnificent garden that will make your neighbors jealous.
Create An Inspirational Interior Garden
One of the most important things that you need to do is make sure that your garden has a certain theme. You should think about the colors and the plants that you like and how they would look in the space you are trying to create. Your garden will be completely different if you buy prefabricated homes and if you get the colors just right.
If you are going to build your own house or buy one, the first thing you need to decide is what you are going to use it for. Then you should look at what your budget is and how much room you have to put in your garden.
Once you have decided what you want to use it for you need to think about the budget. This should be decided on in advance because this will dictate how much space you have to work with. You also need to make sure that you are prepared for anything that might come up.
Try To Put Storage And Water Features
You will need to think about where you want to put the storage and the water features. You can find out what you need to know about these areas by using a computer or by calling an expert.
Lighting is another big idea and it should be thought about from the beginning. The lights you use should make the most of the limited amount of light that you have. This will add more beauty to your garden and will also let you know when the sun has gone down.
Different textures can give your garden its own personality. You should choose the texture that is perfect for you. For example, if you have a lot of red and orange then you may want to use a lot of green and yellow to give it that extra pop.
You also need to consider the size of your yard. You don’t want to add too much of an area if you don’t have the room. You also don’t want to add too little of an area if you have a big yard and a huge garden.
Put Trees And Plants For Your Garden
You also need to plan where you want to put your trees and plants. You will need to be able to get enough light into your garden to allow your plants to grow. You should also be careful about the location of your plants to keep the sun away from your home.
You should have a floor plan drawn up so that you can start looking at what types of plants you want to place in each area. This will help you find out which one will work best. You should also find out what is not working well and change it to ensure you are putting together the most beautiful garden possible.
Another thing that you should consider is the building materials that you are going to use for your interior garden. These can be environmentally friendly or they can be more expensive. It is very important that you make sure that you are working with recycled materials in order to protect the environment.
The interior garden can be an amazing experience if you follow these ideas and add a touch of creativity to the mix. You should spend time researching the different types of plants that you like and how they would look in your garden. This will help you to create your garden so that you will be proud of it and will love it.


Tons of people have given thought to the idea of landscaping, but never act on that thought for many reasons, such as, lack of landscaping knowledge, lack of funds, fear of doing a bad job, or simply because they are too tired. Fear not, because here are a few landscaping tips that are affordable and easy to implement.
Always consider the climate in your area when determining what sort of plant life you are going to use. Your landscape will not look good if you choose plants, that are not suited for the climate of your home. Make sure that any plants you choose will be able to thrive in your climate.
Make your landscaping look more natural by using uneven spacing. Do not measure and separate all your plants equally. It is unnatural to see plants and flowers all lined up in a row. Contribute to a more organic appearance in your landscaping by scattering your plantings in a more erratic pattern.
When it comes to landscaping, the timing of your purchases can mean everything. Buying certain items during certain seasons can mean paying much less for those items. Make sure you are paying attention to sales, but at the same time, you must also make sure you are sticking with your plan as well.
If you want a colorful garden or yard but don’t have a lot of money to spend, think about using wildflowers. You can get wildflower seeds almost anywhere; most home improvement stores have them. You can scatter the seeds in large areas or anyplace where you are having trouble putting plants. The end result will provide you with lots of different colored flowers. You can place wildflowers into bouquets to give as gifts or adorn your dining room table.
Plan out what time of the year you are going to buy your supplies in order to save money. For example, lumber does not cost as much in the winter as it does in the summer. You can also find better deals on trees, soil and perennials later in the season when not as many people are buying them.
Be aware that your lawn still needs to be taken of when in the fall, and winter months. You should still be watering your lawn until the ground freezes. By not doing so, your grass could actually die. However, if you are in an area that gets a lot of rain in the fall, or winter, you may not need to water it.
When purchasing plants for your yard, be sure you pick ones that are local to your area. This way, you know that your climate is not too harsh on the plants. Also, make sure you know what kind of care is involved for the plants that you choose to purchase.
As stated before, people often think about landscaping, but for many reasons, decide not to do it, whether it is because they can’t afford to, or are just too tired. These tips can change all that, because they offer simple ways to do landscaping, without using all of your money.

Viterbo's best 5 gardens to visit
We are happy to invite you to visit our amazing town and enjoy the visit of one of our best secret jewelry, the renaissance gardens.
BY ANDREA PASCALE
Surely nature is one of the main touristic attractions of Viterbo. In this territory you can find sea, volcanic lakes, beech forests, woods where hiking and many parks and gardens, both natural and modified by humans.
Now we are going to look at the 5 best gardens of Viterbo you can not miss during a trip in northern Lazio, around Viterbo.
The Gardens of Palazzo Farnese
Without any doubt one of the best places to visit near Viterbo is the Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola.
Here there are two levels of gardens. The lowest ones are close to the Villa, while the others are a bit further away and you have to walk 5 minute up to the hill if you want to reach them.
The two gardens were unified at a later stage, even though they were built at different times. The “Low Gardens”, made by Vignola, are the perfect combination of nature and architecture of renaissance.
The “High Gardens” were realized later were designed with a pattern through fountains and tree-lined streets leading directly to the “Casina of the Pleasure”.
The initial design of the gardens is attributed to Vignola, although they were effectively made by Giacomo Del Duca and later Girolamo Rainaldi.
The Gardens of Villa Lante
Another beauty of the Cimini Mountain to not miss are the Gardens of Villa Lante, which are the symbol of the perfect union between architecture and nature.The garden that surrounds the Renaissance building, the many fountains through the park, the tall trees of the wooded area blent together to create a small oasis of beauty in the heart of Bagnaia, very close to Viterbo.The park, originally was made for hunting and relaxing long walks, became the main attraction of Bagnaia.It was designed by the famous Vignola, requested by the Cardinal Gian Francesco De Gambara. The gardens of Villa Lante are full of numerous fountains. The best ones are the “Cave of the Flood” and the “Fountain of the Moors”.
The gardens of Castello Ruspoli
The park of Castello Ruspoli in Vignanello, is one of the most famous and most successful examples of Italian gardens of the seventeenth century.
After many vicissitudes and alterations, in the early eighteenth century the property and then the castle took the name Ruspoli.
The large rectangular space of the garden is crossed in length and in width by four boulevards that surround 12 spaces (parterre) aligned. The square encloses at the center a beautiful pool surrounded by four arches of balustrades.
The Park of Monsters
“The Villa of Wonders” also called “The Holy Forest” or in a common “Park of Monsters” is in Bomarzo and is a unique and a rare park were art and nature blend in together.
These gardens were designed by Prince Vicino Orsini with the architect Pirro Ligorio, in the mid-sixteenth century.
Compared with the Renaissance tradition when the gardens were based on geometric rules, the Monster Park is a unique style completely different.
What you can see in Bomarzo is in fact an original and eccentric forest where the prince Orsini inserted mythological figures, animals and monsters, all carved in lava stone and flanked with other special elements such as the bent house, the funerary temple and a number of obelisks with inscriptions. All of this were built without any rules of perspective or proportions.
After the death of the Prince Orsini, nobody took care of the park, who was abandoned for centuries but lukely at a later stage was rediscovered and revalued by artists such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Salvador Dali, Mario Praz and Maurizio Calvesi.
The Botanic Moutan Gardens
The Botanic Moutan Gardens are located in Vitorchiano just a few kilometers from Viterbo. Here there are the richest and most complete collection in the world of Chinese herbaceous and tree peonies.
This is indeed a precious corner of China in the heart of Tuscia.There are more than150,000 plants of 600 different varieties, belonging to all known plant species which have found an habitat perfect to growth.
If you visit the center in spring, during the flowering period, you can follow the paths made in order to fully appreciate the colors and the scents of these magical plants cameing from the Far East.

As you’re putting together your strategy, think about where you want the lights to be installed and also where the focus or direction of your lights will be. Different lights create a different focus. Some lighting emits targeted lighting in a small area. Other lighting spreads out illuminating a much larger area all around your yard. If you’re installing lighting for safety then make sure the lighting concentrates on areas that you want lit up.
Style – Once you have a vision in mind for your lighting, now it’s time to get down to details. For example, are there specified items in your landscaping, such as a statue or fountain that you want to be highlighted? Are you looking for certain lights to run as a pattern interweaved in your garden? Are you thinking about any specific colors? There are several factors involved. Do your homework and research other designs before you make your own selection.
Energy Efficient – Lighting can take up a lot of energy in your home and greatly increase your utility bill every month. With so many different types of lights on the market today, it is important to choose lights that are energy efficient, and long lasting. Energy efficient lights are generally more expensive that regular light bulbs, but they save you more money in the long run.

Collaborating in CroydonWed 27 Jun 2018
We've sent the diggers in and work is now underway at Taberner House, our exciting new development in the heart of super-connected Croydon.
Our latest development to be delivered in partnership with Bridges Fund Management, the project will deliver over 500 homes and will rework and improve The Queen’s Gardens – a vital public space and community asset within this urban hotspot.
Inclusivity is everything to us. We’ve embarked on an ambitious community-driven, collaborative design process for The Queen’s Gardens. We insist on the community genuinely shaping the new design.
We've held workshops involving the local community, the architects, landscape designers and our team at HUB, jointly developing a vision and set of values for the design to come. There have been tonnes of brilliant ideas and it has been great to see such diverse groups sharing thoughts. Respect to the many people who have come along.
One ambition has stood out so far: ‘To be a green oasis, with community at its heart’. We’re super excited about delivering this kind of benchmark. There’s more to discuss. We’ve got another design workshop coming up.
Along the way, as ever with HUB, we’re being open: sharing what we know, providing a calendar of milestones, directly addressing the sensitive areas of the development and creating the platforms and opportunities for the community to really get involved.
Check out some of the design boards and images, below, from the workshops so far!

Chestnut wood has a long lifespan, a sustainable character and a somewhat irregular shape.
The lifespan of the posts is 15 to 20 years. The wood has a high tannic acid content, so that it is not necessary to extend its lifespan by treating it with a chemical agent. The posts are therefore non-impregnated. And you don’t need to worry about chemical residues in your garden. A sustainable solution!
The somewhat irregular shape of the posts enhances the natural appearance of your willow fence or screen. Precisely what you were looking for!
How do you make a willow fence?
Choose a willow fence for warm, natural tones in your garden. We use willow rods of about 5 metres in length, woven around chestnut posts. Willow withies (also known as bleeslatten) are extremely flexible and ideal for weaving. The sturdy 2 to 3 cm thick rods are made into natural products, such as fencing, screens or boundary partitions.
The most flexible willow rods are available from November to June. It is therefore better to weave a willow fence during these months. The fence should be made immediately after receiving the willow. This prevents the rods from drying out and breaking when weaving.


Last Fall construction began on a new park right in the middle of downtown Dallas. For a city whose downtown is pretty much defined (and confined) by different interstates, a new park is a big deal. Especially when it takes up a city block.
Now that the city has broken ground on an even bigger project, entitled the Park, let’s not forgot the joyous green space that lives 2 blocks south of our offices. The space includes a café which serves lunch and beer/wine, and is perhaps the only place in Dallas you can get a tall boy of Brooklyn lager. And with the long dormant Statler Hilton (the first Modernist building in the US) recently being bought by a developer, who knows what’s in store for this humble downtown oasis. A TMA sponsored picnic perhaps?


Sustainability in construction
Sustainability in construction takes into account not only environmental issues, technical efficiency and functional requirements, but also urban regeneration and social aspects.
Integrated design process
In 2002, within the framework of the international urban planning and architectural design competition for the new ECB premises, the ECB defined the functional and spatial programme, and set specific targets for energy consumption. It also explained the condition of the site and the surrounding area.
One of the key messages to architects participating in the design competition was the desire for an integrated design process. This means that the architect works together with a structural engineer and an energy and climate designer from the very beginning in order to optimise the energy efficiency and sustainability of a building. The concept for the new ECB premises therefore had to be based on the principles of sustainability and optimal efficiency in the building design, taking into account economic, ecological and social aspects that had to be weighed against future operating costs, maintenance costs and energy consumption. During the competition and at all stages of the evaluation procedure, the energy efficiency of the design and sustainability issues were important considerations.
One element of sustainability is urban regeneration. In this respect, the predominantly paved area around the Grossmarkthalle, where lorries used to park and unload, will be converted into a large, landscaped, green area. Together with other parks in the surrounding area – such as the GrünGürtel (Frankfurt’s green belt) and the Mainuferpark (an area of parkland along the banks of the river Main), as well as the nearby Hafenpark (a new park based on the theme of “sport and movement”) and Ostpark (the park in Frankfurt’s Ostend district) – it will contribute to the creation of a “green lung” for the City of Frankfurt.
In summer 2008 preliminary construction works were carried out on the site to prepare the ground for the main construction works. These works started with the removal of soil, which had to be analysed before being transported in order for it to be disposed of in the most environmentally friendly manner possible. The two annexe buildings of the Grossmarkthalle (two four-storey apartment blocks) were then dismantled brick by brick, so that each brick could be cleaned individually and stored for future use in repairing the damaged areas of the Grossmarkthalle’s facade.
The disused railway tracks on the Grossmarkthalle site were carefully removed. Most of them were then sent to the Härtsfeld-Museumsbahn (a railway society in Baden-Württemberg, Germany), which now uses the tracks to run steam train excursions during the summer months.
Sustainability and reuse
The reuse and conversion of the former Grossmarkthalle to form an integral part of the new ECB premises will also contribute to the sustainability of the overall building design. Upon purchasing the site, the ECB agreed that the fundamental appearance of the Grossmarkthalle would be retained. In order to ensure that the Grossmarkthalle is renovated in an appropriate manner, the ECB has worked in close cooperation with all local authorities, in particular the historic preservation authorities and energy conservation authorities of the City of Frankfurt am Main and the State of Hesse. Through this collaboration, it has been possible, for example, to design replacement windows that will be more energy efficient and have a similar profile to the original windows, in line with the requirements of the historic preservation authorities.


Designed by Glenn Howells Architects, The Savill Building provides a new entrance to The Savill Garden and the gateway to The Royal Landscape, a unique man-made landscape located at The Crown Estate's Windsor Great Park. The Savill Building unites all visitor facilities including a ticket office, shop, self-service restaurant, seminar rooms, offices and a small garden centre all under one gently undulating gridshell roof, which appears to float over a series of linked spaces. The roof is constructed from larch and clad with green oak from The Windsor Estate’s own sustainable sources. Its form in plan (90m long, up to 25m wide and 4.5-8.5m high) is like a leaf gently falling across the site. The building is now open for the public.


Lynch Architects has won the AJ/Design for London competition to redesign Abbey Green in East London
The contest, run with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD), received 40 entries with six shortlisted practices asked to develop their visions further.
This week, Lynch Architects’ project was declared the winner by a jury that included Mark Brearley, director of Design for London; Jeremy Grint, head of regeneration for LBBD; and Liza Fior of Muf Architects, whose Barking Square arboretum recently won the European Prize for Public Space.
The jury felt this project was the most ambitious and provided new ideas on how the two local schools could interact more with their environment. It was also praised as the ‘strongest project architecturally’. The project, which includes a tower-like museum, is listed as one of 50 aspirational schemes in line for £220 million from London Mayor Boris Johnson, also announced this week. Johnson has pledged his support for street and public space projects across the capital’s 32 boroughs, with the first wave seeing investment to be delivered by 2012/13, including redeveloping Leicester Square.
Speaking at the launch of his Great Outdoors plan – effectively the successor to Ken Livingstone’s 100 Public Spaces strategy – he said: ‘I want to work with the boroughs and other bodies to shape and breathe new life into London’s public spaces.’

Milender White (MW) is the developer and general contractor for the Fourth Street Crossing project, a mixed-use development in Silverthorne’s town core where residents and visitors can spend time, shop, dine, work and live. MW’s concept is rooted in the goals of the Silverthorne Comprehensive Plan, the Downtown Core Design District Standards and Guidelines, and long-established placemaking principles. The design emphasizes a pedestrian-friendly “main street” environment along Fourth Street, drawing some of the thousands of vehicles that pass by each day on the Blue River Parkway (Highway 9).
The landmark Mint building on the block serves as a focal point with a new surrounding events plaza – its historic character brings a sense of legacy to the Town Core. Streetscape improvements including sidewalks, on-street parking, landscaping, lighting, and other amenities vastly improve the pedestrian experience. MW is currently developing a phase two development adjacent to Fourth Street Crossing, one block north.
For more information on this development, visit 4thStreetCrossing.com.

How to Care for Midwinter Fire Dogwood
We suggest when planting your newly purchased Midwinter Fire Dogwood that you dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but not deeper. Depending on the quality of your existing soil, you may need to add a locally-sourced compost or topsoil to the backfill soil. We do not recommend using straight topsoil or compost as a backfill soil for Cornus Midwinter Fire Shrubs because more times than not these products will retain entirely to much moisture and will cause the root system to rot. Adding compost or topsoil will help the young feeder roots of Cornus Midwinter Fire spread through the loose, nutrient-rich soil much easier than if you used solely the existing soil, which more times than not will be hard and compacted. The most common cause of plant death after transplanting is planting the new plant too deep. That is why we do not recommend planting in a hole any deeper than the soil line of the plant in the pot. A good rule is that you should still be able to see the soil the plant was grown in after back-filling the hole. Bio-tone starter fertilizer is a great starter fertilizer that provides plants with mycorrhizae fungus. It is a naturally-occurring, beneficial fungus that colonizes on the new growing roots of plants. It creates a barrier between the roots of the plant and fungus and pathogens that can cause root rot. We love this product and use it on all plants we install in our own gardens. Bio-tone is a gardener's best friend and can help guarantee your success.

“It has been a real pleasure working with Jessica. She has a mild-mannered attitude, easy to approach and very professional. She really took the time to get to know our space and was responsive to my needs and wants. I am extremely pleased with the outdoor living space and landscape design that she did for us. We have started entertaining family and friends last summer and have received a lot of compliments! We couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you, Jessica”
“I can’t begin to say how pleased I am with the work provided by Jessica at Dreamscapes Design. I had no idea where to begin with my yard and she produced in very short order a proposed landscape design which was creative, well thought out, attractive and manageable as a project. She visited the site on 2 occasions and did revisions to the design. Jessica was a delight to work with, receptive to questions and suggestions for changes, and demonstrated real talent in coming up with a plan. I cannot recommend her work at Dreamscapes highly enough.”

Tropical resorts in the Islands represent some of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. Every year millions of busy, over-stressed people choose to spend their precious vacation time unwinding at tropical locales. Why? What makes these places so irresistible? Could it be the lifestyle ideal they represent, a setting where the pressures of everyday life can just be forgotten, replaced by an attitude of contentment, tranquility, and overall well-being. This slower, more laidback attitude is fueled in no small part by the natural beauty that surrounds you at tropical Island locations.
To see all the things that you can do, with this ultimate backyard landscaping project, you simply must visit their site online and you’ll get excited just seeing what other weekenders have created.
What is a Tropical Look Anyway? Tropical landscapes are by their very nature very informal. To create your Backyard Resort, your backyard landscape will capture the wild and untamed mood of a natural tropical landscape. This mood can’t be captured with the boring, straight-line plantings of overly manicured shrubs that are so common in residential landscapes. The tropically-inspired garden will be much more casual, with seemingly randomized patterns of trees, shrubs, and foliage.

Balloch Castle Country Park is steeped in history and was the stronghold of one of Scotland's most powerful medieval families. Overall there are 7km of trails which are suitable for all abilities featuring woodlands, parklands, and walled gardens. The circular Southern Route, featured here, is approximately 3km in distance with plenty of rest points and with stunning views of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond. For the most part the trail follows flat, well surfaced paths, although there is a steep climb up to the Castle from the Shore.

3M Design and Stefano Boeri Architetti Inspire Milan Design Week Visitors with Collaborative Creativity
published on: 29 aprile 2016
Urban Tree Lounge installation combines sustainability, materials design and architecture to spark moments of reflection.
As designers, architects, and creative professionals from around the world arrived at the Milan Design Week to explore the latest trends in design, they have discovered a new place to “reflect” on their experiences. 3M Design (the design group of 3M Company) has collaborated with Stefano Boeri Architetti to create Urban Tree Lounge, an installation providing Design Week visitors an opportunity to experience magic moments of inspiration and reflection that are made possible when materials and architecture combine in new and creative ways. With shared passion for sustainability and vision to make life better, the two creative teams invite visitors to escape the dynamics of their busy itineraries to relax in a “nest” of kaleidoscopic wonder.
The installation incorporates several 3M materials including films, nonwovens and adhesives to create an experience where light dances, thoughts reflect, and minds (and mobile devices) recharge. “As creative professionals explore Milan to connect, learn and be inspired, we want them to know design is integral to everything we do at 3M as an innovation company – how we understand the world around us, identify needs and develop thoughtful solutions that can improve life,” said Eric Quint, 3M Chief Design Officer. “Our design team thrives on collaboration, so it’s a privilege to work with a partner like Stefano Boeri whose architectural influence, urban sensibility and sustainable mindset bring design to life.”Located at Materials Village, SuperStudio Central Plaza, in partnership with Material Connexion Italia, visitors to Urban Tree Lounge have been able to recline on a mini landscape constructed with 3M Nomad Matting while gazing up to reflect on design through a kaleidoscope of 3M Dichroic Film “leaves” and conceptual arbor made of 3M reflective film. These are just some of the many solutions 3M creates to manage light, improve energy efficiency, and support thoughtful solutions to make a better world. The lounge has allowed visitors not only to recharge the creative vitality of mind and body, but also their mobile devices.
“It’s been amazing to work with the 3M Design team,” said Stefano Boeri, CEO of Stefano Boeri Architetti. “Thanks to an energizing exchange of ideas, we were able to achieve the goal of creating a conceptual tree that, like an organic one, absorbs, filters and mirrors the sunlight to create a shadow to reflect and recharge. It’s my hope that this prototype can influence creative approach to design in public spaces.”
Urban Tree Lounge has been located at Materials Village, the project of Material Connexion Italia at SuperStudio -Zona Tortona.


McAdam Design gets contract for Belfast city centre plan
Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland, has announced that McAdam Design has been appointed to develop proposals for the public areas around City Hall in Belfast.
The estimated cost of the design contract for phase two of the Belfast Streets Ahead programme is £900,000.
Mr McCausland said he would set up a stakeholder group to advise the design team on the key elements for the area.
He said a design would be submitted for planning approval by 2013.
"Today's announcement starts the process of engaging with key stakeholders and the general public about the high specification public realm that we want to create around our city hall," he said.
"Following the successful completion of the improvement of the 14 streets in the main shopping area, we now have an opportunity to build on this by presenting Belfast City Hall as the jewel in the crown.
"One of the exciting opportunities includes getting a better balance between buses and pedestrians in the area, which ultimately could lead to the removal of buses from around the city hall or alternatively not having them continually parked in the area but simply dropping passengers off and collecting them.
"This project will also be closely integrated with the emerging rapid transport proposals for the city centre.
"Belfast has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, it is important that we continue to build on the good work already completed during phase one of The Belfast Streets Ahead programme."

There are three good reasons to use baskets as planters. One is that they’re pretty, and they’ll look good in your garden. The woven material gives your outdoor space a rustic look. Plus, they come in bright colors that would cheer up your yard.
Two, they’re durable. They can last a long time as garden planters. You don’t have to worry about them rotting right away. It will take years before they do.
Three, they are woven so they already have holes. This means, you no longer have to punch holes on the bottom part of the basket for drainage.

garden lighting design


If you’re looking at your garden thinking about how you could do a lot more with it to pretty it up a little, but aren’t sure where to start – here are some simple ideas that can make a big difference.
Remove the weeds
Weeds can be incredibly annoying because you can remove them as much as you like, but they will eventually return with a vengeance. They have the ability to make a whole garden look messy, so make sure you keep on top of them. Pull them out from the roots and/or cover them in boiling water. They will eventually shrivel up and die, without harming the area like certain weed killers can do.
Clean that patio
Your house isn’t the only thing that needs a spring clean – don’t neglect your patio or decking. If it’s concrete, then some warm soapy water is all you need. Just give it a good scrub, and it should look as good as new, but if you have some stubborn areas then you may need to bring out the big boy – a pressure washer.
Fill out your lawn
Fertilising your grass is a great way to make it look and feel a lot healthier while filling up any patchiness you have going on, it also prevents weeds from growing too. Gardeners say you should do it around four times a year to follow the seasons, and depending on how big the area is, it should only take a couple of hours. Within no time, your garden will be much greener, so much so that your neighbours will be asking what sorcery you have used.
Plant some colour
If you haven’t got flowers in your garden already – get some. Bringing colour into the space will create something stimulating for your eyes to look at. They are also a good distraction to take attention off areas that you don’t like in the garden. You could even put them around the fence to give it a little more decoration if it’s looking bland. Scatter them around or hang them off things, get creative with it instead of just putting them on the ground.
Add a water feature
When you think water feature, your mind naturally goes onto something super expensive and regal looking. – You don’t need anything like that (unless that’s what you want of course!) But think simple, like a bird bath. It will look lovely in your garden, but it will also attract the birds which is always a nice thing. Imagine watching them have a quick dip and a singsong while you bask in the sun.
Shine a light
What better way to create a wonderful atmosphere than with some lights? This can be anything from solar lights, fairy lights, candles or lanterns. There are also many magical ways you can create your own lighting ideas with things like mason jars, tealights, and glitter, so get creative. Not only will this save you some money, but no one else will have anything quite like it.


When Dave came over today we worked on this piece of bogwood in preparation for planting with a tree.
Although most of it is solid, the base had a lot of rot, so we placed some plastic mesh and covered this with galvanized wire mesh to hold it in place.
With this set up there should be no problem with drainage.
From the back you can see the pot shape we have created for the tree to be planted in.
Next spring we will install the tree.

Gardens can be for simple pleasure, for fun or for show. Your direct involvement in your green landscape will help in garden ideas to flood automatically. Apart from having fun, it is important to protect your garden from different kinds of pests and insects. Care should be taken to not harm the plants while using the chemicals or pesticides. After all, garden ideas are truly successful when adequate care is taken along with beautification of the garden.
Brick is an excellent choice for constructing a raised bed garden. It gives a very formal and finished look to the entire area. It lasts longer than all other choices, with little maintenance. The only set back is the amount of labor required to put it in. Mortar is necessary. It may be helpful to have a professional install it.

Landscaping for Water Quality
Soak Up the Rain - Landscaping for Water Quality in the Lakes Region - March 30 & 31, 2017 in Moultonborough, NH.
Sorry you missed it! To see the program flyer, click here.
To view presentations from this training, click the blue Presentations button below.
Your landscape can make an important difference in the health of Lake Winnipesaukee or your local rivers, lakes and streams, even if you don’t live on shoreline property. Appropriate trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants in your landscape will help capture and absorb rain water and snowmelt. This helps prevent contaminants such as nutrients, sediments and bacteria from reaching the Lake or other water bodies.
Do you or your landscaper know how to keep your property looking great without using excessive amounts of fertilizers and pesticides? Would you like to install landscape features that help promote clean and healthy water by slowing down spreading out, and soaking up runoff on your property?
A list of landscape professionals who have completed training to date can be found here:
Landscaping at the Water's Edge
Landscaping at the Water’s Edge is a manual for NH landowners and landscapers that covers the basics of ecological design for water quality protection in lakes, rivers, streams and coastal areas.
