“It must be September, the July sun has disappeared.” — Charmaine J. Forde.
“Sweet September Blessings! I am eternally grateful!!!” — Charmaine J. Forde.
“That old September feeling, left over from school days, of summer passing, vacation nearly done, obligations gathering, books and football in the air …” — Wallace Stegner.
“Let's all be nice to September.” — Nitya Prakash.
Autumn will be arriving in a week on Sep 22 as we begin to see the temps cooling down from the heat of summer. It’s that time of the year when we begin to focus on projects around the home and landscape. And whatever we so choose to do, we want it to be done correctly. Beneficial and enjoyable landscapes don’t just happen! Our focus should be on the development of effective landscapes offering curb appeal, sustainability, low maintenance, and proper usage.
As your landscape plans unfold, review basic information that should be considered to assist you in making the right plant selections and design decisions. Before you start any project, a good understanding of what is involved from start to finish is most critical. Keep impulse buying to a minimum.
Develop an understanding of the landscape design principles and concepts, proper plant installation, hardscapes and softscapes, and the required maintenance details which will be necessary to take any project to fruition. Get a grip on the reasons for the landscaping that you are about to undertake and define whether these actions will have the bests interests of all involved, including your environmental neighbors (wildlife) and the site itself. Also, an understanding of plant characteristics (maximum average size and shape at maturity, texture, form, etc.) and needs (water, light, fertilizer, positioning, etc.) is most critical.
Develop an understanding of the outdoor room concept which includes the wall (tree trunks and large shrubs), ceiling (tree canopies), and floor (grasses, flowers, groundcovers and circulation paths). Also, realize that the public area is that area seen from the street and is usually the first area to be landscaped and evaluated because of curb appeal. The private area is the screened or fenced area at the side and rear of the home which usually cannot be seen from the street, and can be landscaped at will according to your own judgments (do not have to be concerned with curb appeal, just be pleasing to the family). The third area is the service area (trash cans, grill, storage, vegetable garden, etc.) which functions as the name indicates. Keep this area functional but as neutral as possible to minimize directing attention to it. This area can be found in the public area and throughout the private area.
The landscape design principles of simplicity, balance, flow (rhythm and line), proportion, focalization, and unity are applied to minimize smorgasbord results and over-crowding the site. Simplicity prevents complication and confusion and gives the viewer a comfort zone to enjoy a properly landscaped home. However, do not over-simplify by using only one species of plants in repetition (like a row of boxwoods around the entire front foundation). Good simplicity usually involves using no more than 5 to 7 species of plants throughout the public area.
The balance that you want to achieve can be either symmetrical (formal) or asymmetrical (informal). With symmetrical balance, you get a mirror image to the right and to the left of a benchmark (such as a perpendicular sidewalk leading to the porch area and front door where left mirrors the right). And with asymmetrical balance, you achieve a visual weight balance but not a mirrored image. For example, this balance can be achieved by placing three dogwoods to the left of a benchmark (driveway) and three to five crape myrtles to the right providing a balanced canopy appearance.
With flow (rhythm and line), allow each component of the landscape to lead into the next. Thus, using filler plants to take your attention from one focal point to the next is ideal. This can be achieved through mature plant sizes, texture, color, etc. However, only establish one focal point per view such as the front door or a specimen plant.
With proportion, it is a plant-structure relationship. Be certain to choose plants that will not appear dwarfed against a two-story home (thus leaving a bare wall appearance) or overwhelm a one level home (planting a large tree too close which appears to hide the structure and offer potential storm damage). Unity is the principle of design providing completion and everything appears as a whole and unified. Unity can be compared to a completed puzzle where you can still see where the pieces fit together but the entire picture has appeal.
The landscape design concepts of texture, size, color, drought tolerance, growth rate, soil conditions, light, shade, flowering, nutritional needs, etc. need to be considered before making specific plant selections. And, water efficient landscaping (xeriscaping) plays important role in today’s landscapes, as well as the choice to use a separate water meter for landscaping applications where allowed. Be certain that your landscape has good site drainage before initiating any projects.
Identify your bed areas, such as foundation, lawn, street, natural, etc. and determine their curb appeal, ease of maintenance and the type of mulch that will be the best fit. For example, if you have a bed of pine trees, then your best mulch choice would be pine straw because other mulches would be a headache trying to maintain (keeping the falling needles removed).
Consideration of appropriate plants (trees, shrubs, groundcovers, flowers, turf, etc.) in the plant selection process is critical. For example, look at your area and determine the specific factors that you are trying to satisfy, such as height and width, flowering, deciduous or evergreen, filler, specimen, seasonal color, shade or sunlight, etc. Compile a list with these descriptions and identify several plants that would fit the specs. This process will determine a category of plants from which a specific choice can be made (professional approach) rather than buying a dogwood and then asking where it can be planted on site (the amateur or novice approach). Think in terms of native and sustainable plants in the landscape.

Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My Son, whom I love. Listen to Him!” — Mark 9:7.

The transformation of an old Sydney golf course into NSW’s first 6-star Green Star community was deemed worthy of the NSW Government’s Green Globe Award for the Built Environment.
Developed by Frasers Property Australia, the Fairwater residential development in Sydney’s Blacktown was acknowledged by the NSW Office of Environment & Heritage at the recently held Green Globe Awards for its initiatives in large-scale residential precinct developments and creating sustainable living for its many residents.
“Winning the Green Globe award is a fantastic recognition of the innovation that has been put into Fairwater and further evidence of how we deliver on our promise of a different way of doing things to genuinely serve the needs of local communities - as well as the planet,” said Ray Baksmati, Development Director at Frasers Property Australia.
The 38 hectare development, designed by architect Stephen Birrell and landscape architects McGregor Coxall, was not only the first project to achieve the benchmark 6-star Green Star rating, but was also a finalist in the 2016 Sustainability Awards (landscape element).
The NSW Government’s Green Globe Awards are an environmental recognition program, celebrating excellence, leadership and innovation in sustainability.
The Built Environment Award recognises excellence and innovation in designing, constructing, retrofitting and managing of existing or new buildings, precincts and tenancies. This may be for commercial, residential, heritage properties and infrastructure projects in NSW.
Westpac’s St.George, Barangaroo Branch and DEXUS Property Group’s 5 Martin Place were awarded commendations in the Built Environment category, while Mirvac’s 275 Kent Street was named a finalist.


Cluain na dTor – Meadow of Shrubs
Cluain na dTor is one of 22 gardens featured in the 2017 Donegal Garden Trail. It is described in The Trail’s brochure as “Donegal’s tropical garden, inspirational and boldly experimental!”
Seamus O’Donnell’s garden has been developed over a period of twenty years, and features many unusual plants collected from around the globe. The gardens include an excellent nursery, which hosts a variety of workshops and talks.
There are numerous artworks and sculptures dotted throughout the planting, creating an abundance of sensory delights.
I followed the signposts from the Nursery towards the Pond Garden.
It took me on a journey through a series of grassy paths, past trees and shrubs, grasses, Iris, Red Hot Pokers, Day Lilies, Angels Fishing Rods…
Finally reaching the pond, complete with Water Lilies.
A rustic bench allowed me to breathe in the beauty of this magical place.
The Water Lilies smiled up at me, as if to say ” Look at my beautiful blooms.”

FLARMOR’s weed control barrier ground cover is a long-lasting, time-saving solution to weed management. The company says its woven polypropylene material is effective for up to 20 years. Continue reading
Torrance, CA, Mar 22, 2021 /prREACH/ -- Beginner and professional gardeners can expect exceptional, long-term weed control with the highly-rated weed control barrier ground cover by FLARMOR, an experienced supplier of landscaping essentials. The weed barrier is made from woven geotextile fabric sheeting, which the brand says will last up to 20 years.
Find more on weed control fabric for gardens by visiting https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Landscape-Fabric-Heavy-108gsm/dp/B079VS73L3.
"For those who are interested in gardening, buying the necessary equipment and supplies will make the hobby easier and more exciting," says the FLARMOR senior spokesperson. "Alongside spades and pitchforks, you should not forget about landscape rolls. They are relatively new items on the farmer's market but have already developed a good reputation."
The company goes on to share its top reasons why it's beneficial to use woven landscape fabric in the garden:
- The perfect weed killer. The pesky plants can kill flowers or crops in the garden and affect edibles' growth. Landscape rolls prevent weed germination and are made from eco-friendly materials.
- High-quality landscape rolls are reasonably priced and affordable for even beginner gardeners.
- Rolls are made from extra strong material that can survive acids, bases, and other aggressive soil matter.
- Create stunning landscape designs. Rolls can be cut to fit all shapes and sizes of spaces. Maintain the beauty of the foliage by eliminating weed growth. Adding aesthetic appeal with gravel, stones, and wood chips won't affect fabric performance.
- Can be used in any area. Fabric is suitable for Northern and Southern regions as it is highly UV resistant and can tolerate all weather conditions.
- Is suitable for use with any plant, including vegetables and fruit. There is no need to hire experts to install the fabric. One person can easily install it with a pair of scissors.
- The material has a long lifespan, lasting up to 20 years.
- Plants and vines get all the necessary elements. The texture of the rolls allows nutrients, air, and water to go through.
- Save valuable time and energy. Install the fabric before planting and savor a weed-free garden.
The company recommends adding amendments, such as manure or compost, to the soil before laying down woven landscape fabric to enrich the soil and promote greenery growth. A second thing to consider before laying down weed barrier is edging. The spokesperson adds, "Your aim is to leave no place where weeds can crop up. It's up to you to choose the most appropriate materials for creating solid edges."

For years, there's been talk about burying the elevated section of the West Side Highway underground, but one architect thinks there's another way to get rid of the eyesore: beautify it with vines and waterfalls. Laurence Tamaccio, who lives near the roadway, proposes covering the highway's pillars with vine-filled trellis from 61st to 72nd Streets and turning the disused ramps from the old infrastructure into waterfalls. NY Press reports that the neighborhood community board supports the project, aptly named "Vine Line," noting that they've not heard any other proposals to make it less ugly.
The CB chair added that he's only heard support for keeping the road elevated, as park of Riverside Park South has been constructed beneath it. Tamaccio believes that post-Sandy the city is unlikely to revisit the idea of burying the highway considering the extensive flooding that all tunnels in the city suffered. Tamaccio's plan also includes building greywater filtration systems to help with stormwater runoff and creating an elevated cafe. Most people quoted in the article seem to like the idea, but at least one guy thinks it's a bad plan because it would draw more attention to the structure.

The Planning Committee of the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DRWC) will present the designs of the four finalists being considered for creating a public park at Pier 11, as part of a larger design including a municipal building and the intersection of Race and Columbus Boulevard. The event takes place Wednesday, June 17th, from 6 – 8:30PM at Festival Pier on Penn’s Landing.
“This is another step towards our vision of a green, accessible waterfront that all Philadelphians can enjoy,” said Mayor Michael Nutter in a statement issued by the DRWC. “We are committed to an open and transparent planning process for the waterfront and Pier 11. The Pier 11 public presentation by four world-class design finalists is an opportunity for the public to re-imagine the Central Delaware waterfront, a vision that will be underway by this time next year.”
Last year, Mayor Nutter dissolved the Penn’s Landing Corporation and created the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DRWC) to oversee the implementation of the Civic Vision for the Central Delaware. The DRWC is a nonprofit agency that “intends to transform the central Delaware River waterfront into a vibrant destination location for recreational, cultural, and commercial activities for the residents and visitors of Philadelphia”, according to their statement.

Title: Exploring the Versatility of Woodchip: From Landscaping to Biomass FuelComments Off on Title: Exploring the Versatility of Woodchip: From Landscaping to Biomass Fuel
Introduction: Woodchip, a product derived from chipped or shredded wood, has found its way into various industries and applications due to its versatility and eco-friendly nature. In this article, we will delve into the world of woodchip, exploring its uses in landscaping, gardening, animal bedding, and even as a renewable source of biomass fuel.
Landscaping with Woodchip:
Woodchip has become a popular choice in landscaping for its aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. Here are some key aspects of using woodchip in landscaping:
Woodchip serves as an excellent mulch material, helping to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Its natural appearance also enhances the visual appeal of garden beds and plantings.
2. Pathways and Walkways:
Creating pathways and walkways with woodchip provides a rustic and natural look to outdoor spaces. Woodchip paths are not only visually pleasing but also offer a comfortable walking surface.
3. Erosion Control:
Woodchip can be utilized on slopes and embankments to control soil erosion. Its ability to absorb water helps prevent runoff, protecting the soil from washing away during heavy rainfall.
Gardening and Horticulture:
Woodchip is a valuable resource in gardening, contributing to soil health and plant growth. Here’s how woodchip can be beneficial in the garden:
1. Soil Enrichment:
As woodchip breaks down over time, it adds organic matter to the soil, enhancing its fertility. This can improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability for plants.
2. Weed Suppression:
When used as a mulch in garden beds, woodchip creates a barrier that suppresses weed growth. This helps reduce the competition for nutrients and water, promoting healthier plants.
3. Moisture Regulation:
Woodchip acts as a natural insulator, helping to regulate soil moisture by preventing rapid evaporation. This is especially beneficial in hot and dry climates.
Animal Bedding and Litter:
Woodchip has proven to be an excellent choice for animal bedding and litter in various agricultural settings. Its absorbent properties and natural composition make it suitable for different animals:
1. Livestock Bedding:
Woodchip bedding provides a comfortable and absorbent surface for livestock, such as cows and horses. It also helps manage odors and promotes animal health.
2. Poultry Litter:
In poultry farming, woodchip is often used as litter in chicken coops. It absorbs moisture, reduces odor, and creates a cleaner environment for the birds.
Woodchip as Biomass Fuel:
Beyond its uses in landscaping and agriculture, woodchip plays a crucial role in the renewable energy sector:
1. Biomass Energy Production:
Woodchip is a key feedstock for biomass power plants. When burned, it releases energy in the form of heat, which can be used for heating buildings or converted into electricity.
2. Sustainable Fuel Source:
As a renewable resource, woodchip contributes to sustainable energy practices. It is sourced from responsibly managed forests, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
Woodchip’s versatility makes it a valuable resource across various industries. Whether enhancing the beauty of a garden, providing a comfortable bed for animals, or serving as a renewable energy source, woodchip continues to prove its worth in sustainable and practical applications. As we explore more environmentally friendly alternatives, the humble woodchip remains a beacon of versatility in our quest for a greener future.

SLR announces incoming Chief Financial Officer
by Rebecca Walker-Waughray
SLR/Fortuitous Partners and the Tidewater project is featured in the winter edition of the Design Develop Construct (DDC) Journal, a premier journal for Building and Real Estate Professionals. In an article with Fortuitous’ Director of Development and Managing Partner, Dan Kroeber, SLR’s role as the primary consultant in the revitalisation effort is reinforced. Built Environment Sector Lead John Milone and Project Manager Darin Overton continue to lead the SLR team through the next phases of the development including applying key services with civil engineering, traffic planning, and landscape architecture as the project continues to make its way to delivering the first United Soccer League (USL) site to Rhode Island.
The idea of redeveloping 25 acres of under-utilised waterfront in hopes of bringing the USL to Rhode Island was initiated by Fortuitous Partners, who cater to state-of-the-art recreational site development. Looking to partner with a team that would help develop a site that would revitalise the land as well as the community was an exciting opportunity for SLR to engage in as a primary consultant. The $284 million project will not only house the first ever USL site in Rhode Island but will also incorporate infrastructure and public use enhancements including 4,000 feet of riverwalk, a pedestrian bridge, streetscape improvements as well as developing a seasonal space to host events including live concerts and volleyball.
“It’s certainly been a challenging project to design and permit while recognising all the site constraints.” commented Darin Overton, Principal Civil Engineer. “A key element of the work included coordinating the site remediation by the owner as well as a major infrastructure improvement project through the property being implemented by the Narragansett Bay Commission. Our team has risen to the challenge alongside Fortuitous Partners with the initial work underway to bring this vision to reality.”
See Featured Article ‘Bringing Soccer to Rhode Island’ on page 182, for the full article detailing the project and key roles with transforming the vacant waterfront into a revitalised community hotspot.


11 January 2019 – Inmodiario
The Board of Directors of the Port Authority has approved the Nazaret Este Plan, which represents the first step in the development of a new area in the Nazaret neighbourhood of Valencia.
The mayor of the city, Joan Ribó, has highlighted the importance of the approval of this plan, which will involve the recovery of 230,000 m2 of land in the Port for citizens, of which more than 86,000 m2 will be configured into a large green space: the future “Rivermouth Park”, which will connect with the end of the Turia Channel.
According to the mayor, “it will be one of the largest parks in Valencia. It will be connected to the river and will have green corridors that will link up with the L’Albufera National Park (…)”.

Formality in garden design has become deeply unfashionable. But have we been too quick to dismiss the classic principles it can teach us?
Think of the most famous gardens from around the world and there is a good chance that they all have one thing in common. Versailles, Villandry, the Charbagh garden of Taj Mahal, Villa d’Este, Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, Chatsworth, they all, at their heart, share the same principles. In each you’ll find long, unbroken, straight lines. Symmetry will frame important views. Right angles will enclose one area and distinguish it from another. Overall, there is a tremendous sense of balance. They are all, of course, formal.
We travel to visit formal gardens in our millions, 15 million people visit Versailles alone each year, and yet, when it comes to our own gardens, formality has become deeply unfashionable.
To the Tudors, our modern aversion to anything horticulturally neat and well defined would be baffling. Their garden legacy is the knot garden, a series of precise and symmetrical patterns created from low hedging, that replicates the intricate weaving of needlework. French parterres came slightly later but followed much the same school of thought. Of course, it isn’t possible to look at these historical formal gardens without considering how the wider societal and political context of the time might have influenced them. Britain of the 1500s was a kingdom largely obsessed with the self-portrayal of power and control. What better way to show your enemies that you command authority than to create absurdly complex and fiendishly difficult to maintain stage sets in your back garden.
There are other reasons that explain why these historical gardens relied more heavily on their structural, formal beauty to captivate the visitor than anything we see today. For starters, plant choice was far more limited and so it was harder to create interest in any soft landscaping alone. More practically, the “rooms” that the formal knot gardens created served to separate medicinal from cooking herbs that the wealthiest medieval households were cultivating.
These gardens tell us something about our past and perhaps that is why they are popular visitor attractions. Perhaps the draw is more like that of a museum than something to be admired from a decorative point of view. But whether a purely aesthetic choice or largely functional, the formality of medieval garden design was all about to change in 18thcentury England, and later across Europe, with the arrival of the English landscape garden movement.
The sweeping informality of this movement (think Rousham, Stowe, and Stourhead) is something we are much more comfortable with today and in many ways introduced the idea of the garden as being romantic. Loose planting, gently undulating parkland, paths that snake into orchards, all features that we regard as intimate and picturesque in modern culture.
And perhaps it is this perceived lack of romance that turns us off formality. Rigid. Precise. Mechanical. Not exactly words you associate with love and passion. Today, when we dream of a perfect garden we are often longing for large swathes of floaty perennials, hard landscaping that is not really hard at all, but soft and suppressed. We want drifts of plants, travelling in any which way they desire. Roses clambering over walls. Spring bulbs colonising any area of grass. We rarely yearn for rows of symmetry with restrained and sober planting schemes.
I am seduced by all of these things too. If I could only ever visit one garden again in my life, I wouldn’t choose a Versailles or Villandry, I would choose a Rousham. But have we been too quick to dismiss the order, regiment, and indeed, pomp, of formality in garden design?
I think so. I am not suggesting we all start creating formal parterres over our wildflower meadows, or replace our perennial planting with tightly clipped topiary, but why can we not have both? To me, the most interesting gardens reference multiple styles and influences. Cottage style planting that surrounds formally clipped Taxus columns? Perfect! A formal rill dissecting a symmetrical space, but planted loosely? Delightful! In the garden, I do believe you can have your cake and eat it.
Perhaps the issue with formality is one of semantics. When we hear the word formal our minds are taken somewhere that feels strict, austere, and unfriendly. Maybe it is simply unfortunate that garden symmetry, geometric shapes, and a sense of clear structure falls under such an unappealing umbrella term. Perhaps if we renamed these garden features to – let’s say – ceremonial, we might find them more palatable?
Could it be that garden formality is just not a sexy topic to talk about, in the same way that we do not generally talk enthusiastically about – say – matresses, even though we all need one? A simple search for cottage garden on the British Library catalogue returns 971 results, whilst the same search for formal garden only returns 850. I suppose there are only so many ways to describe a long, straight, symmetrical path, where the opportunity for linguistic indulgence is endless when describing a perennial packed cottage garden at the height of summer.
As designers, the lessons we learn from formal gardens only improve how we approach any outdoor space we work on. The idea of framing views, of balancing competing elements, of working with space to create harmony and order, all these classic principles still influence even the most informal of spaces we design.
We have come a long way since the medieval knot garden, not least in recognising the wildlife benefits of a less formally treated garden, which should, of course, be encouraged and celebrated. But let’s not turn our backs on formal elements in our gardens completely. To do so is to restrict our own self-expression. Because that is what any garden should be about – our personality. We can be fun, playful, and floaty, but are we not all a bit formal, at least some of the time? Are there not times when we all feel a bit more sober and serious, and if so, why should our gardens not reflect that side of us too? There is a place for moments of order and restraint in our gardens if we allow ourselves the freedom to express all sides of who we are.

Grace Montessori School was at the heart of a local partnership that created of a labrynth in downtown Allentown, Pennsylvania, on property owned by Grace Episcopal Church.
“This area is transforming,” said Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski, whose children had attended the school, which is owned by Grace Episcopal Church in the city.
He thanked the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the Commercial Real Estate Women (LV CREW), Spillman Farmer Architects, Joanne Kostecky Garden Designs and PPL (Pennsylvania Power ad Light) for collaborating on the labyrinth. This fall in Philadelphia, it will be one of the featured projects at Greenbuild, the biggest conference on sustainability in the United States.
“It was a partnership of lots of people coming together,” said Libby House, executive director of Grace Montessori.
The idea for the living labyrinth grew out of a school chapel service in which students followed the path of a canvas labyrinth.
Rosalin Petrucci from LV CREW approached the school about doing a green project for it and embraced the idea of creating a labyrinth, House said.
The architects and garden designer came up with plans and LV CREW and PPL workers pitched in digging sod, planting grasses and other landscaping on Saturdays to complete it. The wild grasses border a gravel pathway and will expand to fill in the beds and create grassy walls of the labyrinth.

We were contacted by our client who wanted to extend the block paving area of their property to allow for extra parking.
Work we carried out
The current area was turfed, this was removed and the area hardcored and compacted.
The area was then block paved in “buff” blocks to match the rest of the driveway area.
The total install took just two days.

If you need your pond extending please get in touch to discuss further on 07714707118 or email us at: [email protected]

Building a Pixelated Oasis: Designing Stunning PixelSpark Bases
PixelSpark, the popular Minecraft modpack developed by the Pixelmon Team, combines the nostalgic charm of pixelated graphics with the exciting world of Pokémon. With its unique blend of elements from both Minecraft and the Pokémon franchise, PixelSpark offers players a captivating gameplay experience. One aspect that truly shines in this modpack is the ability to design stunning bases that serve as both a functional hub and a visual masterpiece. In this article, we will explore the art of building remarkable PixelSpark bases and creating your very own pixelated oasis.
The first step in creating an impressive PixelSpark base is to plan your design. Consider the theme or concept you want to embody, as well as the functionality you desire. Are you aiming for a rustic forest retreat, a futuristic high-tech facility, or perhaps a whimsical Pokémon-themed paradise? Let your imagination run wild as you envision the perfect setting for your base. Planning ahead ensures that your design is cohesive, efficient, and visually appealing.
When it comes to the actual construction, attention to detail is key. Utilize the pixelated aesthetic of Minecraft to your advantage by incorporating blocks and elements that complement the Pokémon theme. Pixelmon adds a wide variety of Pokémon-inspired blocks and decorations that can be used to bring your base to life. Consider using pixelated textures for walls, roofs, and flooring, and incorporate pixelmon-themed furniture, banners, and decorative items to enhance the overall theme. Don't be afraid to experiment with different block combinations and architectural styles to create a unique and eye-catching design.
In addition to the visual appeal, functionality is an important aspect of a well-designed PixelSpark base. Consider the different areas and features you want to include, such as storage rooms, Pokémon healing stations, breeding areas, and training facilities. Plan the layout of your base to ensure easy navigation and accessibility to these essential components. It's also important to think about incorporating efficient pathways, transportation systems, and even automated mechanisms to streamline your gameplay experience.
Furthermore, landscaping plays a significant role in creating a stunning PixelSpark base. Use Minecraft's block variety to create natural-looking terrain, incorporating trees, shrubs, flowers, and other elements to add depth and visual interest. You can also design gardens, ponds, or even mini Pokémon habitats to make your base feel alive and immersive. Landscaping not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your base but also provides opportunities for relaxation and interaction with your Pokémon.
Another aspect to consider is lighting. Proper lighting not only ensures visibility but also adds ambiance and atmosphere to your base. Experiment with different types of lighting sources, such as torches, lanterns, glowstone, or even custom pixelmon-themed lighting blocks. Strategically placing lighting fixtures can highlight important areas, create focal points, and add a sense of warmth and coziness to your base.
Finally, don't forget to add personal touches and unique details that reflect your personality or interests. Incorporate memorabilia from your favorite Pokémon, display your collection of rare items, or even create themed rooms that pay homage to specific Pokémon types or regions. These personal touches not only make your base feel more inviting but also showcase your individuality and creativity.
Building a stunning PixelSpark base is a journey that combines creativity, planning, and attention to detail. Whether you're aiming for a grand fortress or a cozy cottage, the possibilities are endless within the pixelated world of Minecraft and PixelSpark. So, unleash your imagination, embark on the construction of your dream base, and create an oasis that will impress both Pokémon trainers and Minecraft enthusiasts alike.

A wetland planting project involving Featherston youth has won funding from Greater Wellington Regional Council as part of its Wairarapa Moana Catchment Community Restoration Fund.
The project, led by Featherston Youth Programme, will assist in filtering urban stormwater entering Donald's Creek which flows into Lake Wairarapa.
Youth programme leaders Reanne Tawharu and Brenden Saayman were pleased to receive the funding, a part-share of $15,000 annually allocated to community-led biodiversity projects by GWRC. The planting project is called "Reconnecting the community and Donald's Creek to Lake Wairarapa" and will be carried out over a three-year period starting in June.
Mr Saayman said eco-sourced native plants will be used to improve the native ecosystems around Donald's Creek and Lake Wairarapa.
"Having a site close to the town and local schools will allow us to include them in learning about these natural resources and also to contribute to the restoration work as well as making the connection between stream and lake," he said. "The project is about spreading the message that native ecosystems are really important and, by involving our youth in the restoration work, we enable them to connect to these valuable resources and feel a sense of pride in their achievements."
Other successful applicants from the same funding round were the Friends of Onoke Spit for dune planting at Onoke Spit, the South Wairarapa Biodiversity Group for planting at the Onoke/Okorewa Lagoon at Lake Ferry, and Pirinoa School for propagating plants as part of its Trees for Survival programme and planting at Wairio Wetland.
GWRC biodiversity manager Tim Porteous said the grant programme encourages the work of "clever, motivated people out there who share our passion for the restoring the environment".
"We want to help these people restore their local native ecosystems because healthy ecosystems keep our waterways healthy and ultimately improve the condition of Wairarapa Moana."
A second round of applications opens in October.
