Wetland Centre Play Area Barnes, London
The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) gave Russell Play the task of designing a unique, themed play unit as an addition to their existing playground in the Wetland Centre in London. Young children can now play and climb through giant reeds, long grass, birds and dragonflies adding to the fun and making their visit to the Wetland Centre more memorable.
WWT’s brief was to come up with an exciting play structure for a specific space that would add some interest and a challenge for young visitors. The visual impact of the structure needed to be immersive, with the feeling of the vegetation and natural habitat of the wetland surroundings. It also required to provide play, predominantly for children between the ages of 3 to 8 years old.
The WWT wanted to work with Russell Play as they knew they could construct a completely bespoke timber play unit using their Spielart robinia timber range. Being bespoke it meant the timber construction could be built to fit the space and the theme they had chosen. It also meant it could be coloured in any way to be in keeping with the surrounding wetland nature.
The customer wanted timber as it is simply a natural material they knew would suit the environment best. Another strength of the bespoke timber range is it can be carved into figures and animals to suit any theme. The play structure has placed around it detailed carvings accurately depicting wetland bird species and different kinds of dragonfly and larvae.
The response from visitors has been very positive with the playground proving very popular with children and families visiting the centre.
Overall in the UK the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust covers 3,000 hectares of prime wetland taking in 1 million visitors in a year. They look after and create wetlands for wildlife and as a source of drinking water. They are also visitor attractions in themselves for people interested in beautiful landscapes and the animals that live in and around the wetland environment. WWT is a charity that works with local business, communities and government employing over 350 people and many more volunteers.

My daughter received this postcard from Sintra, Portugal through Postcrossing.com. I was especially intrigued by the beautiful architecture on her postcard. This led me to google and read more on Sintra,Portugal. I just love to see the pictures of the old buildings built as early as the 8th century. The Castelo dos Mouros, the Pena National Palace and the Sintra National Palace has actually been included in UNESCO’s World Heritage Site in 1995.
Oh, lovely it would be to go on holidays to Portugal and see the castles and scenery in Sintra. :)) But since I’m only daydreaming, I will be contented on looking at the beautiful sceneries and architecture through the world wide web.
Sintra was declared a World Heritage Site because:
“In the 19th century Sintra became the first center of European Romantic architecture. Ferdinand II turned a ruined monastery into a castle where this new sensitivity was displayed in the use of Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish and Renaissance elements and in the creation of a park blending local and exotic species of trees. Other fine dwellings, built along the same lines in the surrounding serra, created a unique combination of parks and gardens which influenced the development of landscape architecture throughout Europe.”

Published at Wednesday, 04 September 2019. Backyard. By Forrest Lapointe.
Create the Tropical Landscape Effect, Now that you have a foundation, or backdrop, it is time to add the tropical effect plants to turn that normal backyard or swimming pool landscape into your own tropical paradise. Here, you’ll use true tropical plants that have to be treated as annuals in your area, unless you are willing to go to great lengths to protect them from winter chill. There are many plants that are tropical or sub-tropical that, with a little protection, will come back from roots each spring (i.e. bananas, elephant ears). Then, there are the interesting, tropical looking plants that may have no problems at all with winter weather.
Backyard landscaping can not only enhance the appeal of your home, but it can also increase the value of your home. Additionally, landscaping is a great form of exercise. Well thought out backyard landscaping can even help reduce your energy costs. Creating a windbreak with trees can keep your house warmer in the winter. And planting trees close to the house can provide cooling shade in the summer. Of course, all backyard landscaping ideas should start with your personal and family styles in mind. If possible, ask the whole family to brainstorm ideas for your backyard. This can help create a place that everyone in the family enjoys in their own personal way. It is a great way to spend time with your family, as well.
The least durable backyard fireplaces will be made of thin metals and clay. They will also be less expensive. The more durable ones would be made of stainless steel, cast iron or aluminum. Copper is also quite durable, but you need to know that it does oxidize and will change color from golden-bronze to a greenish hue. Also, you should be aware of the fact that iron may rust if left out in the rain and snow. You will find backyard fireplaces that are fueled by wood, natural gas, liquid and gel. The gases burn cleaner and there is less mess than wood. Of course, with wood fireplaces you will have more work to do such as cutting the wood for the fire but many people enjoy the crackle and pop of a real outdoor fire. If you choose natural gas, you will need to install the gas line and the fireplace will be placed in a permanent location rather than being able to move it around.

The Park Güell has become a popular public park for the inhabitants of Barcelona, as well as a great attraction for visitors. Recognized as an artistic monument in 1969, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.
It was originally conceived as a luxury urbanization to end up becoming a park full of naturalistic details and absent from straight lines. With an extension of more than 17 hectares, the Park Güell is covered by wavy forms, columns with aspect of trees, figures of animals and geometric forms. Most of the surfaces are decorated with mosaics made with colored ceramic chips. The central point of the park is a large square in which there is a huge bench 110 meters long, with the appearance of a snake covered by small pieces of ceramics.
Two small houses are located next to the main entrance of the park. One of them works as a store while the other, the Casa del Guarda, hosts audiovisual exhibitions about the park's past.
If you want to have a memory of Park Güell, visit our store and you will find many objects.

Oak Street, SE
Dear Mr. O’Dell:
In its meeting of 17 November, the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed a concept design for a new entertainment and sports arena complex on the St. Elizabeths East Campus. The Commission approved the concept, providing the following comments for the development of the design.
The Commission members expressed appreciation for the thorough presentation and commended the design team for the disposition of the innovative program in the massing of the new building. In their support of the overall design, they provided several specific suggestions for its refinement. They recommended completing the form of the arena roof by extending it across the two open corners, perhaps with trellises. They also suggested combining the small Cypress Street entry plaza with the nearby bioretention area to create a larger and more welcoming garden space and entrance experience for employees and athletes. To ensure a consistent appearance for the proposed street trees, they advised close coordination with the developer of the historic buildings across Oak Street. Finally, they requested more documentation of the design, including perspective drawings that depict the proposed complex together with the historic buildings.
The Commission looks forward to reviewing a final design submission for this important civic project at St. Elizabeths East Campus. As always, the staff is available to assist you.

Milton awarded $700K for Gill Bass Park
The city of Milton’s Canal Street corridor and Gill Bass Park will soon be getting a $750,000 overhaul, to include street lights and beautifying the community park with landscaping, walking paths, a gazebo and historic mill stone fountain.
Milton has been awarded a $700,000 Community Development Block Grant from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity for the project, and will be contributing $50,000 from city funds to help make the park a reality.
City Manager Brian Watkins said construction on the improvements should begin in early 2016, a continuation of a previously awarded $700,000 CDBG in 2013. The first grant was used to repave Canal Street and install some bases for the 36 new street lights planned for the park, Canal and Caroline streets.
The four-parcel lot at the corner of Canal and Pine streets was donated to the city in 2010 by resident Steve Gill, under the condition that it be turned into a passive park — and never changed into anything else.
Gill, who grew up in what he still affectionately calls the “town of Milton,” said he and his wife originally planned to build their house on the property, but decided it would better serve the community as a park.
“Mainly I guess I’m a person that really loves the town of Milton,” said Gill, 86. “I love this town, and I have a number of fond memories with people here.”
Gill said he’s anxious to see the park completed, and he hopes it will leave a legacy for his family and enhance his beloved city for generations to come.
“I am really elated over it…,” Gill said. “I sure would like for them to finish it before I die, to see it.”
According to the city’s grant timeline, the park improvements should be completed by November 2017.
Included in the grant is $137,000 to move electrical, phone and cable lines underground along North Canal Street from U.S. 90 to Berryhill Street, which Watkins said will enhance the area’s aesthetics. Utility lines along South Canal Street were already relocated through the previous state grant, Watkins said.
“It’s really an opportunity for us to finish the job of fixing one of the primary entrances into the city,” Watkins said.
Though a plaque and sign already mark the Gill Bass Park, the property is virtually vacant aside from a picnic table and natural greenery.
“We’re basically starting from scratch,” Watkins said. “So it’ll be a major upgrade to Gill Bass Park, and hopefully a place where people want to go and walk through there, because the fountain is going to be really nice.”
The project also complements the city of Milton’s master plan, which focuses on connectivity between the village of Bagdad and downtown Milton, along with enhancing the Blackwater riverfront and surrounding area.
“In this case, that takes that gateway that section of Canal Street and really upgrades it to the standard we were looking at in the master plan,” Watkins said.
Buddy Jordan, a lifelong Milton resident and former city councilman for 28 years, said he’s more than ready to see the park move forward, as is the rest of the community. Also a former chairman of the city’s Parks and Recreation Committee, Jordan was among those involved in planning the future vision for Gill Bass Park.
“I’m just as pleased as I can be — I am ready to go,” Jordan said. “I think it’ll be a tremendous asset to the community and be a credit to Mr. Gill."

A Gazebo provides a comfortable and private place to spend time with friends or family. Its shape and size allow it to blend in with the rest of your yard. When installing a gazebo, consider the existing structures in your yard and select materials that match them. The purpose of the gazebo will determine the location, which can be as a place of escape or a place to frame a view. In addition, consider the existing hardscape and choose materials that echo them. Visit Website if you’re looking for a reputable gazebo installation company.
Regularly wash your gazebo to maintain its aesthetic appearance. A soft cloth dampened with mild detergent can be used to scrub the affected areas. After wiping, dry the uncovered areas. If you have applied paste wax, remove it with a furniture cleaner. If your gazebo is made of wood, you can apply paste wax to protect it. Keeping it clean is essential to its longevity. Aside from regular cleaning, you should also avoid allowing weeds to grow in and around it.
A gazebo is a garden structure that can be freestanding and is usually hexagonal or octagonal. The gazebo is usually made of metal or wood and may have a built-in table and seating to entertain guests. Some gazebos have a lattice structure at the edges to provide privacy. You can use a gazebo to create a focal point for your garden or place it on top of a hill to enjoy the view. You should take into account the area available for a gazebo when you are planning to build it. It is important to choose a shape that will blend in with existing structures. You should choose materials that match the exterior of your home. The location of the gazebo can provide a refuge, a place for relaxation, or a frame for a view. Make sure that the materials used to build your gazebo are compatible with other hardscape features such as garden paths and walls.
To maintain your gazebo, you should clean it on a regular basis. To maintain its beauty, you should wipe the fabric surface with a soft cloth every few months or every year. You can also wash the roof by using soapy water. To prevent mold, you should disinfect the entire sitting area once a year. In addition to sweeping the gazebo, you should remove any loose debris. The gazebo’s top is a common area for problems. If you do not take care of the top of the gazebo, the problem will continue to escalate.
The canopy of your gazebo can be extended for a longer period of time with proper care. If you do not take care of it properly, you could risk cracking its canopy or causing it to uplift. Over-tightening the gazebo can cause it to break. Also, over-tightening the gazebo structure can damage its wooden frame. To ensure a longer-lasting gazebo, it is important to use a protective cover.
Clean your gazebo regularly with a soft brush and warm water. Also, check the gazebo periodically for infestation by insects and birds. If you discover any nests, knock them down using a long-handled broom. Make sure to use a special insecticide for wasps and other pests. If you notice any damage, it will be easier to restore the beauty of your gazebo. With these simple steps, you can keep your gazebo in top condition.
While the modern-day gazebo may be small compared to its ancient counterpart, it has long had a romantic history. Ancient Egyptians used garden gazebos for a variety of purposes, including shelter for grapes. They were also used for business purposes. In the 1800s, the gazebo was popular in Europe and Asia. It is often associated with romantic scenes from movies and photos. Gazebos are an iconic part of any garden wedding. They can be used in countless ways to enhance the beauty of the garden.
The gazebo is an outdoor structure usually freestanding and built into the landscape. It is often octagonal, with posts at the corners and a rail running around it. It can be made of wood or metal and may also include built-in seating. Some gazebos don’t have a rail or a cupola, but most stick to the classic design to make them recognizable as a gazebo.

Published at Friday, 27 September 2019. Backyard. By Manon Simard.
A properly landscaped backyard can create an atmosphere that will have your family outside in the backyard more than inside the house. Having a place to sit back and relax is important. If you have a beautiful backyard and no place to sit, you cannot enjoy your backyard to the maximum potential. Determine what type of seating would complement your house, style and backyard. Patio furniture sets are a good place to start looking for ideas. Keep in mind the different types of materials used. This may later help you decide what other features to place in your backyard.
If you need to stay at home for your honeymoon days, imagine what you would like the backyard to look like. You might want to put in a privacy fence and maybe a Jacuzzi or hot tub. Add in some soft colors and sweet smelling candles and you own a honeymoon getaway in your own backyard. Add in some exotic flowers to your design to give your backyard some tropical accents. Ah, to be young and foolish. Many of us can’t afford to do the things we would like with our garden, but dreaming can be a wonderful thing too. If you are someone who wants to use your backyard for the family and friends to come over and enjoy barbeques and spend time together, then there are many choices for you. Extending your patio will give you more entertaining space and more room for extra seating at dinnertime.
In vegetables the choices are also limitless. An artichoke shrub can grow huge with the right care and provide more outstanding artichokes than you can eat. They are beautiful plants that fit into any backyard landscaping or even as specimen plants in the front yard. Asparagus roots are a must order for any shady woodsy area of your backyard landscaping. The fine lacey fronds are beautiful all season. Homegrown asparagus is unbeatable for taste and freshness. Be sure and buy at least 2 year roots so you don’t have to wait two years for a taste treat. Every spring add a good top coating of rich compost and some manure to ensure huge yields.

With it’s stone-like appearance and rigidity, you’ll be surprised at how little it weighs. A light weight medium for increasing air flow within soil it also functions well to retain and redirect water to plant roots.
It’s naturally sterile and has a neutral pH. It’s also used to modify soil structure to allow for more oxygen, better drainage and keeping soil compaction at bay.


This is an artist rendering of Market Plaza, part of the proposed plan for downtown Greenwood.
Greenwood is once again looking at plans to turn its declining downtown into something special.
The vision calls for creating shops, dining and recreation areas. Wide sidewalks, street lamps and flowers will be emphasized. And traffic problems would be solved by making Main Street one-way.
To start the rebirth of Old Town Greenwood, however, the city would have to invest in roads and buildings in an area known as Market Plaza, which is home to The Suds and Jockamo's Upper Crust Pizza. ...

Earth Designs operates a comprehensive range of garden design services catering to a variety of garden needs in the Essex area.
Whatever your circumstances and requirements, we are confident we have the service for you.
Our range of services is as follows:
This garden design service is FREE to anyone within a 5-mile radius of the Earth Designs offices in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. The service involves a 1-hour site visit by our designer to discuss the client’s requirements and the potential for their garden.
Over 5 miles there is a mileage charge for a 2-hour consultation:
- £100 plus VAT between 5 and 10 miles
- £130 plus VAT between 10 and 40 miles
- and for further afield please enquire
This consultation is usually enough to spark some ideas for you. If you decide not to proceed to the next stage of the garden design and build process, all chargeable design consultation clients will be left with any concept drawings and notes produced during the consultation. We regret that free 1-hour consultation clients cannot be left with the concept drawing and notes.
2. DESIGN PACKAGE
Following on from the garden design consultation, this service includes a full site survey, scaled design drawings, visualisations, planting scheme, and a spiral bound presentation including a detailed quote for construction (based on Earth Designs project managing). Every design is tailor-made to the client’s specifications. This service starts at £600 + VAT for a basic front garden design, with average costs around £1200 + VAT for a full garden design. Should the client wish to commission a garden build based on the design, we will refund the cost of the design off the cost of the full build (conditions apply).
3. GARDEN BUILD
This usually follows on from a design package, and is a top-to-tail service from concept through to creation. Wherever possible, all work is completed ‘in-house’, including hard landscaping, fencing, structural design, planting, and water features. Other services, such as tree surgery and electrical installation, are out-sourced to specially selected professionals. A senior member of the Earth Designs team will oversee the project at all times while work is underway.
The total price of the build will be marked on the quote supplied in the design package. We are able to schedule work according to the client’s availability and budgetary requirements by completing the project in stages if required. As this service often entails a complete redesign of the space, and each space is unique, prices will vary dramatically. As a guide you would normally be looking at a minimum of £8000 + VAT for a reasonably basic garden build, with average costs between £15,000 – £25,000 + VAT. However, we are happy quote for any landscaping job, no matter how big or small, and this is not dependent on the production of a design.
4. POSTAL DESIGN PACKAGE
A DIY kit posted to the client to enable them to complete their own site survey and answer a comprehensive questionnaire about their garden and their requirements.
Earth Designs will respond to the information provided with a detailed scale design including where appropriate step-by-step guides to completing the projects involved*.
This service is not based upon Earth Designs project managing the implementation of the design and as such will not include a quote/scope of works unless specifically requested.
This package would make a unique gift. Prices start from £165 plus VAT, depending on size of garden, complexity of design and level of service required. *Conditions apply
5. PLANTING SCHEME
A simple design service that provides the client with a soft-landscaping and planting scheme to suit their requirements.
There will also be a site survey and an aftercare package which includes a ‘how to look after your plants’ list.
6. ONE DAY ATTACK
This is a ‘deep clean’ for your garden and usually involves the services of two or more gardeners/labourers for one full day (depending on size of garden). The facility includes tidying, clearing, weeding, pruning or removal of shrubs (if required), re-conditioning soil, cleaning hard surfaces, and any other general requirements to get the garden into a more manageable state. Service does not include any planting, construction, materials, tree surgery or waste removal. Prices from £400 + VAT.

College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture
1040 N Olive RdTucson , AZ
Join us for the second installment of the Fall 2017 School of Landscape and Architecture and Planning lecture series as John Suarez, Principal, SBD Studio in Scottsdale, AZ presents "Symbiosis by Design."
John Suarez possesses over 30 years of leadership experience in building awareness in the fields of town and regional planning, landscape architecture, resort planning and urban design. His practice expands to the continents of North America, South and Central America, Europe and Asia.
John is a recognized results-oriented professional with particular strengths in site-planning and design, project management and project implementation. His applied design ideas impart an understanding and an artful fusion of the diverse multicultural dimensions he has found in his travels.
His process has established a reputation for client responsiveness, and creative problem solving. John’s focus rests on capturing the essence of place. Through his applied methods he instills an understanding and appreciation of the visual arts and their contributions to the history of cultural development and change.
“In my journey I came to understand landscape in its broader dimension; that of an all encompassing stage. Landscape shares with all, changes all and in the process allows us to rediscover ourselves by bringing into perspective a deeper meaning of our place in it. In matters of allowing my passion for celebrating beauty to become relevant, I let my design approach straddle between science and art. From biology and ecology to the works of the great masters whose art has inspired generations and continues doing so, I humbly come to the realization that my actions must aspire to bringing a deeper awareness of those sensibilities which make up that tissue which binds us all."
All Fall 2017 School of Landscape Architecture and Planning Lectures are to be held in CAPLA's Dinsmore Classroom, room 203.


Published at Thursday, 26 September 2019. Backyard. By Comforte Voisine.
Entertainment: You can continue to enjoy gatherings in your backyard as dusk rolls in, instead of everyone packing up and heading inside at the first sign of nighttime. Everyone can relax outside in your beautifully landscaped backyard and enjoy themselves under the star-lit sky. Imagine sitting around your bamboo tiki-bar with a colorful array of stringed lights cascading along the roof and counter-top. In addition to that, little lights that gently illuminate along your patio and walkway so guests can see where they are going as they journey and marvel through your landscape. What an extraordinary and gratifying ambiance! Everyone will love getting together in your backyard.
So, How do You do It? If you were lucky enough to live in an area that never has to suffer extended cold weather, you probably wouldn’t be reading this to begin with. You would have a year-round growing season with no fear of freezing temperatures, and you could grow whatever you wanted. For most of us, that is not reality so we’re going to have to get creative if we want to create that exotic, tropical backyard landscape, our very own little tropical escape.
In vegetables the choices are also limitless. An artichoke shrub can grow huge with the right care and provide more outstanding artichokes than you can eat. They are beautiful plants that fit into any backyard landscaping or even as specimen plants in the front yard. Asparagus roots are a must order for any shady woodsy area of your backyard landscaping. The fine lacey fronds are beautiful all season. Homegrown asparagus is unbeatable for taste and freshness. Be sure and buy at least 2 year roots so you don’t have to wait two years for a taste treat. Every spring add a good top coating of rich compost and some manure to ensure huge yields.

Erica's Original Notes
Palms are members of the Arecaceae family. Of course, one associates palms with warm climates, so it is unusual to find a palm tree growing in our fair city. But, as you see, ours are growing in sheltered spots which helps to keep their growing tips from rotting.
Palms are second only to grasses in their usefulness to man, providing us with oil for soap, margarine, candles, machinery and cosmetics, and, of course, the leaves are used in a thousand ways from roofing to grass skirts.
Palm fronds were used on Palm Sunday, but in Northern Europe pussy willows were used as a substitute.
2013 Update (MG):
Our 'local' palm mentioned by Erica is the Chinese windmill palm, Trachycarpus fortunei. It is now native to China, but once grew in this area and is very hardy. There are two other palms also planted here, Trachycarpus wagneriana, which has slightly smaller palm fronds, and the European palm, Chamaerops humilis. These plantings around the city were coordinated by the Pacific Northwest Palm and Exotic Plants Society. The palms in our Garden formerly in the entry area can now be found at the west end of the Japanese Garden.


Las Adelfas Circle has designated the landscape of Sessell Boring as outstanding. Esther Whetstone, who is Civic Beautification chair for the circle, made the announcement recently.
The unique thing about this landscape is the fact that there are no buildings on the property as yet.
Boring, who will be relocating here from Jacksonville, decided that he would get as much landscaping as possible taken care of before construction gets under way.
The location, at the intersection of St. Francis Street and Park Place offers a picturesque view of Lake Maria Sanchez.


Sammamish Landing Project Updates:
Phase II Improvements (Construction to begin soon!):
Phase II improvements consist of adding a parking lot on City-owned parcels east of the Parkway, a designated crosswalk on East Lake Sammamish Parkway (ELSP) and an accessible (ADA) ramp leading from ELSP to Sammamish Landing Park. Council has awarded construction to Pellco Construction, Inc. in the amount of $1,666,100. Construction is planned to start September 2, 2014 and continue through February 2015. The design and construction of the restroom building is anticipated for next year (2015).
Access to Sammamish Landing Park: Street parking and a path to the park will remain through Labor Day, September 1. The King County trail remains closed for construction.
Bid Opening Results
Phase I Improvements:
The construction of the first phase of improvements were completed in 2013. Click here to see a video of the beach party held for the grand opening in July 2013.
The first phase was a modest attempt to open the park to the public with minimal improvements. Proposed improvements consist of two picnic shelters, a trail head, improvements to existing trails and access to existing pocket beaches. Other amenities include a portable restroom with an enclosure, site furnishings and opportunities for art and interpretive experiences. The two existing docks have also been replaced with floating docks to accommodate seasonal water fluctuations and be available for year-round use.
The Phase I development project was brought in-house as a cost savings measure. Design and construction documents for the project, with the exception of the docks, were completed in-house by the parks planning team. Most of the project, with the exception of the picnic shelters and docks, has been constructed in-house by the city’s Operations and Maintenance crew.
Access to the Park:
Come visit the park. The park is located at 4607 East Lake Sammamish Parkway NE. Parking is available on the Parkway in designated areas. Please follow the signs.
The site can also be accessed via the King County East Lake Sammamish Trail. For more details on how to get to the trail, please access King County's website. However, improvements are currently being made to the trail and it will remain closed until the Spring of 2015.
The Sammamish Landing is a 8.23 acre site located along the eastern shoreline of Lake Sammamish at the northwest corner of the City of Sammamish. It is the only stretch of land along the shoreline of Lake Sammamish that is in public ownership within the City limits. King County property and the East Lake Sammamish multi-use trail bisect the project site. The master plan (adopted in July 2010) was reviewed and coordinated with the County in an effort to incorporate the trail into the design and deliver a seamless experience to the park/trail user.
Goals and Benefits:
- To provide public access to Lake Sammamish.
- To enhance and protect the environmentally sensitive shoreline areas.

Say goodbye to fussy red roses from the past, and hello to Red Flower Carpet Rose of the future! This rose is a dream to grow and works for almost any garden situation. Clusters of deep velvety red flowers with bright yellow centers cover this rose almost 10 months of the year. The flowers are fragrant and wonderful in bouquets. The leaves are glossy green tinged with burgundy.
This is a low-growing, compact variety that only reaches 2 - 3 feet high, while spreading to 3 - 4 feet. This rose is hardy to zone 5 and will go dormant in the winter. Its foliage is resistant to black spot and mildew and will not need to be sprayed or treated with chemicals. Use red flower carpet rose to cover the ground in front of taller shrubs and trees, to edge a garden path, to stabilize a slope, or to brighten planter boxes on a patio or porch.
Red Flower Carpet Rose Care
This vigorous rose thrives in full sun and requires at least 4 - 5 hours of sun per day. It is not picky about soil texture or pH and grows well in clay, sand, and silt types. Water regularly in the summer as it prefers evenly moist soil and will not tolerate standing water. To conserve moisture, add a dense layer of compost around the root zone. Fertilize in the spring with a well-balanced, slow-release formula.
Pruning this rose is easy. Trim it back by one-third in late winter and remove any dead or damaged canes.
Red Flower Carpet Rose Spacing
Space these roses 3 feet apart to cover the ground of a large area. They will take a few years to fill in. Provide 4 feet of space for plantings with a gap between plants. For container growing, choose a pot at least 24 inches in diameter to accommodate the wide rootball.

Pteridium Aquilinum is a large, perennial fern and a native species to many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and North America. They are a gorgeous, true shade of green that can add life to any partially shaded area. They will flourish in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 to 11.
Bracken ferns occur in nature in woodlands, meadows, and other grassy areas. It grows with little to no care, needing only a shady spot, rich organic, woody material as you'd find in its native woods, and moist but not overly wet soil.
How to Use Bracken Ferns in Your Landscape
Wholesale Nursery clients order the bracken fern to use in filtered sunshine flower beds or the middle row of a garden border. Its lush greenery will brighten up any spot you can find to tuck it
into. Its most popular use is as a ground cover plant, thanks to its quick multiplication.
Bracken fern reproduces with no care from you through tiny spores, dust-like structures that break away from the underside of the fronds. The wind carries them to nearby locations where they germinate and grow into new plants. This reproduction cycle is why this fern makes such a well-loved Groundcover species.
Bracken Fern Is a Lovely Plant
It is known for its large, triangular fronds reaching up to three feet tall. Many small leaflets in a feathery pattern make up the beautiful, bright green fronds.
The fronds are typically around two to three feet in length and one or two feet in width. The stem of the bracken fern is usually dark brown or black and can be slightly ridged or smooth. The roots of the plant can also be quite thick.
The Bracken fern is a distinctive plant, and one can quickly identify it in the wild by its large triangular fronds resembling a shuttlecock's shape.


Continuing its work with the vision of "Another Agriculture is Possible", based on the fight against drought and poverty, of Tunç Soyer, the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor, Izmir Metropolitan Municipality has implemented the first example of the Rainwater Harvest Project. With the “Rainwater Harvest” that started in the 245-decare Aşık Veysel Recreation Area, 80 cubic meters of water is saved per month.
With the amendment made in the zoning regulation in order to use the decreasing water resources more efficiently and to combat drought, İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, which obliges rainwater harvesting in newly constructed buildings over a thousand square meters and green roofs in buildings over 60 thousand square meters, will implement rainforest in parks, recreation and living space projects. He also attaches great importance to his gardens. The Metropolitan Municipality, which took a series of measures against the climate crisis and drought within the framework of the vision of Izmir Metropolitan Mayor Tunç Soyer to create resilient cities, implemented the first example of the “Rainwater Harvest” project. With the system created to irrigate the green areas in the 245-decare Aşık Veysel Recreation Area, great water savings began to be achieved. Reservoirs were created to collect the water coming from the Pool İzmir, Ice Skating Rink and Bornova Stream in the area. In this way, 80 thousand cubic meters of water per month is saved. Irrigation of the area is done with the water collected in the tanks.
Gürbüz: “We will save a lot of water”
İbrahim Gürbüz, Head of Water Transmission and Distribution Department of İZSU General Directorate, stated that the global warming and climate crisis affecting the world caused water resources to become increasingly scarce and required the correct use of water resources. doing serious work in the field. The limited drinking water resources and the very serious costs for the delivery of drinking water resources to our subscribers have made it necessary to irrigate very large green areas such as the Aşık Veysel Recreation Area with alternative irrigation methods. This area uses around 80 thousand cubic meters of irrigation water per month. A very serious rate. Our work in the Aşık Veysel Recreation Area is a first in this sense.”
Rainwater collects in the tank
Stating that they collect the roof water of the Pool İzmir, the drain and roof water of the ice skating hall, the utility water in the area, as well as the rain water from the stream, Gürbüz said: “We irrigate the green areas with this water we collect. For this, we laid a network pipe of 200 meters in length. 80 cubic meters of water per month corresponds to 2 cubic meters of water per day. This is a ratio that can meet the drinking water supply of many settlements. There are many beautiful green areas in İzmir, when we start to use rainwater harvesting for irrigation and when we create alternative irrigation sources, we will make significant savings in our drinking water resources. It will contribute to both our cost and irrigation cost.”


NIAH Inventory of Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes
National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH)
Over the past 12 years Lotts Architecture has carried out 5 garden surveys commissioned by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH). The survey involved recording on site of approximately 1,000 demesnes, submitted in an NIAH database.
The initial project included formulation of the survey methodology, preparation of a special NIAH site survey sheet and assistance in development of the format of the database. The Historic Gardens Inventory project received a Europa Nostra award for research in 2009.

Published at Saturday, 31 August 2019. Backyard. By Delit Montminy.
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.
There are many different styles of backyard fireplaces available. The chiminea, also known as a Mexican fireplace, has an opening into a large belly where you build the fire. It has a tall chimney helping with the ventilation of the smoke up and away from people sitting around it. The chiminea is portable, so a lot of people enjoy it for this reason. Sometimes you will find these backyard fireplaces sometimes have an opening that goes all the way through the construct rather than just in front and sometimes they even have openings that wrap around or near it. You will find chimineas that are made of clay, cast iron, aluminum or copper.
Now, let’s go even beyond that and get into an area where you can get really creative and let your personality shine through…. garden art. There are no rules whatsoever here. Simple things like adding tiki torches along a path can make a real statement. Want to get more out there, create a faux Mayan ruin surrounded by tropical-looking foliage. If you don’t have a pool, build a small pond complete with cascading waterfall. Or, suspend a comfortable hammock between trees, complete with a fake (or real!) parrot watching over you while you relax. Remember, no rules here. This is all about you. Have fun.

- The wide forest path to the right of the lake is also suitable for prams and wheelchair users.
- Partly over rhizomes and stones you go left of the lake.

e the fire bowl. Is it gas? Where can I purchse this? Many thanks.
Where do u find for pit
also buy fire bowls, which allow for safer and easier set up. There's many different bowl types and colors to choose from. http://www.houzz.com/photos/541411/Grand-Effects-One-Bowl-30--Legacy-Fire-Bowl-System-mediterranean-firepits- http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/poolsupplies/fireandwaterfeatures/firebowls
create our own firebowl instead of bricked pit
custom fire-pit can be reasonably made if same materials are being used elsewhere in the project
Pea gravel patio with concrete fire pit
solitary fire bowl is the elemental antithesis of the pond and serves as a visual cue for outdoor lounging.
Consider custom. While portable fire pits seem to be available at low price points from all the big-box home improvement stores, local landscapers can often create custom, optimally safe fire
sunken fire pit like this one constructed?
in her fire pit, not when the fire is on :) Good luck getting your hubby to agree, a firepit is a great addition to any yard.
In the pit above typically rock or sand may be used for drainage. Obviously, the overall size will depend on your outdoor living area and how many you are entertaining.

Continued… If You Imagine it You Can Build it Everything comes together in this house: the combination of materials, their precise use, and the designers’ interpretation. Proportion and imagination are key elements of the design: If you can imagine it, you can build it. The designers have used visualization and harmony to create Rocafort House. It has function and character — components that give new meaning to simple and smart living. Architecture does not have to be blocks and skyscrapers; it can be volumes of art coming to life, masterpieces of great design in which uniqueness is better. Gathering together landscaping and architecture is the most interesting move that one can do. This is an example of what can be created when everything is well thought out.Creativity Takes Courage In my opinion, we should read more about this design group and learn from its achievements and how it tackles every project with a unique point of view. I once read that “creativity takes courage” (Henri Matisse). I am certain that Ramon Esteve Studio has proven that with Rocafort House. Reshape your thoughts about art and living, because this house changes everything we can expect of “normal” architecture. What do you think about simplicity, nature, and architecture coming together?

patio design. Saturday , January 06th , 2018 - 05:57:55 AM
ou can pick up patio design ideas from videos, patio sketches, books on patio design, photo galleries and articles you can view from the net. There are lots of websites that can help you in your project. Look for those who offer free patio catalogs. You can also consult with a reputable landscape designer around your area. When you find one, make actual visits to his finished patio projects so you can see firsthand how creative and artistic the designer is. In designing your patio, there are various factors, options and choices to consider. You can build a patio which is attached to your house. Or you can opt for a detached patio. Some basic facts such as patio size, shape, surface textures, enclosure options, patterns and finishes are design considerations. Various materials to choose are concrete, stone, tile, brick, pavers or gravel. You have to consider the important functions your patio will serve. Factors such as location’s accessibility, exposure to sun and your planned activities of entertaining, dining and sun bathing play important part in determining the appropriate patio designs.
Almost certainly, one should prefer to relax in the shade rather than being totally exposed. If not, you can immediately skip this section and proceed to the next. Nowadays, covered patio designs come in many different shapes, sizes, colors and styles. You may choose among the wide variations that vendors offer, reinvent on your own or even make some combinations. Each will surely have different styles and tastes but most importantly, is what you like.
This is the second consideration. The local climate in your area plays a huge role in all aspects of your patio designs. Overall shape of the house as well as the yard - Choosing a well flowing patio design is a challenge. No matter what design you choose, it has to balance the in general layout of the home. Basic ideas such as selecting round patio layout may soften the overall look & feel of the garden, when your home has a good architectural design which boasts strong as well as sharp corners.

The Bracknell Regeneration Partnership is a joint venture between Legal & General and Schroders UK working in partnership with Bracknell Forest Council, which is undertaking the major regeneration of Bracknell Town Centre in order to fundamentally change the landscape of the town. The new scheme, branded ‘The Lexicon’ opened in September 2017.
PWA was appointed to prepare a detailed planning application for the re-development of the Bentalls department store site in the heart of the masterplan scheme, including new restaurants, bars and leisure facilities focussed around a partly enclosed flexible event space.
The proposals completed the figure of eight retail circuit throughout the Town, strengthening the connection between the existing Princess Square Shopping Centre and new Lexicon development. This was a key aspect to the scheme in order to maintain the success of the existing Princess Square Shopping Centre.
The design included a re-design of the public realm between the existing store and The Bull Public House to create a new public square with the ambition to become the focal point of the Town Centre. Grand civic steps and curved double height fenestration of the prime A3 units create an inviting arena leading up to the new flexible event space with further A3 units facing onto it with a strong link on to the existing Princess Square. The roof structure whilst functionally offering protection from the down drafts of Ocean House creates a focus and striking backdrop for staged events.
The scheme also animates the Ring Road with leisure and retail uses along with the opening up of the end of the High Street as part of an improved new thoroughfare into the heart of The Lexicon, an aspiration that was well received by the council’s planning officers.
Through considered liaison with the consultant team and local authority and following a very positive public consultation the scheme received planning consent in early 2017.

Our concept of a Hagge Wood involves the transformation of an arable field or other similarly limited habitat into a thriving woodland ecosystem. Planning, plant species selection, ground preparation and planting are only the first steps. Lack of active management results in a homogeneous woodland structure and allows the rapid establishment of native invasives such as bramble and nettle, which in turn prevent colonization by native woodland wildflowers. Thoughtful, timely and consistent management are key to success and long-term monitoring will be the means of measuring it.
‘How to Create a Wood-Meadow’
For details on how to create a wood-meadow please DOWNLOAD OUR GUIDE HERE
The Plan in Action
To research and practise the ecological and holistic creation of new native woodlands, we have created our first experimental woodland at Three Hagges Wood-meadow. The project has received a strong endorsement from Natural England, the government’s statutory adviser on nature conservation:
It seems to me that the Hagge Woods Trust is already in a good position to be able to progress the project (Three Hagges Wood-meadow) in collaboration with the community and expert advisers and in so doing will directly contribute to conservation and to the greater understanding of woodlands and woodland creation techniques. (Jeff Lunn, Area Manager 23.4.13).
The largest area of newly created deciduous woodland in Selby District in the Jubilee year, Three Hagges Wood-meadow is managed by Hagge Woods Trust, secured on a long-term lease on a peppercorn rent from Escrick Park Estate. It is being planted with the help of the local community and is open to the public for the benefit of the community. The new woodland holds enormous potential for educational and recreational events. You can follow the progress on www.threehaggeswoodmeadow.org.uk

The Sales Team at Beacon, along with more than 100 volunteers, helped make Downtown Greensboro a little greener this Arbor Day. On March 22, 2013, 45 trees were planted to honor the 45th anniversary of Greensboro Beautiful. A variety of trees were planted including: Chinese Pistache, Crape Myrtle, Holly and Littleleaf Linded. Not only are we improving the tree canopy for downtown Greensboro, but the trees also help improve the environment. Each tree was tagged to show the positive financial impact it has on the environment over the next 15 years. In addition, the event helped Greensboro, NC maintain its designation as a Tree City USA for the 22nd consecutive year.
Greensboro Mayor, Robbie Perkins, delivered the Arbor Day Proclamation during the post tree planting celebration held at Hamburger Square. A big Thank You goes out to Action Greensboro for including Beacon Technologies in this project. “Beacon is committed to being an active part of the Greensboro community. We saw this as a great chance to get outdoors and help encourage environmental awareness” said Rick Boccard, Director of Sales at Beacon.
