Spring System Flushing Program begins tonight!
Water Division crews will be opening and running hydrants during the overnight hours starting in West Mansfield. Flushing will continue town-wide over the next 4-6 weeks (weather permitting) between 12 Midnight to 6AM.
Below is a list of street areas scheduled to be flushed Tuesday, March 21, 2017:
Water customers may or may not experience water discoloration as a result of this activity. Should this occur, run water until color appears clear. As a precaution to protect laundry, check water color in washers to make sure it’s clear before adding fabrics.
*Water Conservation Tip: Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants. Mulch will slow evaporation of moisture while discouraging weed growth. Adding 2 - 4 inches of organic material such as compost or bark mulch will increase the ability of the soil to retain moisture. Press the mulch down around the dripline of each plant to form a slight depression which will prevent or minimize water runoff.
Updated lists of street areas scheduled for flushing will be posted as the information becomes available on the Town of Mansfield website, Facebook and Twitter.

Glenwhan Gardens, Stranraer
Glenwhan has been described as one of the best newly created gardens in recent times and is regarded as one of Scotland’s important gardens.
Twenty-five years ago there existed but bracken & gorse and the odd willow at Glenwhan Garden near Stranraer but it is now known as one of the most beautiful gardens in Scotland.
With a south facing aspect, 300 ft above sea level, there are magnificent views to Luce Bay and the Isle of Man. With the help of the Gulf Stream, many plants flourish from around the southern hemisphere. This is a plants-women’s garden for all seasons; in spring & early summer rhododendrons and azaleas dazzle the visitor. Many rare gems may be discovered.. A peaceful haven with seats and winding paths through woodland walks surprises maybe found round every corner. Peacocks, red squirrels & ducks live in the garden.
It is interesting to see and compare the Native Moorland which is how the garden started out. We have mown grass paths and the walk takes about 20 mins. The slopes are covered in a mass of bluebells which indicate there was once ancient woodland. No fertiliser has ever been used on this ground, and the native gorse harbours a variety of birdlife including yellow hammers which flit from post to post with their song ‘A little bit of bread and no cheese!.'

Spring is gradually coming around again. So now is the perfect time to prepare for the planting season. It will be wonderful to get some soil under your fingernails and get a little closer to nature. Do you have a garden and do you want to fill its various borders with the most beautiful flower bulbs and garden plants? If so, it is useful to make a plan now. Here are some tips to help you with the construction and filling of your garden borders.
How do you create a border?
Creating a border is a fun and exciting challenge. And, you don't always need a garden designer! First, choose the style that suits your garden. For example, do you want tall, stone borders or do you prefer natural borders? Then you can already mark the borders by laying a layer of boulders, wood or other natural material. It is also easy to create your own borders with Bakker's border edges. You just have to determine the dimensions and fit the edges into the soil. It makes a super quick and easy home-made border, completely ready for spring.
What will you plant in the spring?
It is useful to make a garden plan before you actually get started in the garden. Find out how to create a garden plan here. For a border, take into account specific elements like flowering periods and your budget. Many plants and flowers only bloom for a few months. You can choose to arrange plants or bulbs that bloom one after the other for a long-lasting result, or to have them bloom at the same time for a large explosion of colour. With Bakker's handy, ready-to-use border packages, you don't have to think about these things yourself.
Of course, it is also possible to combine all kinds of greenery yourself. It is then very important to take colour into account. To optimally enjoy your border, it is advisable to think carefully in advance about the colours you want to see. Some combinations have a fantastic effect, while with other mixes, colour can disappear. Have a look at this list of colour pallets, put together with you in mind:
- Bright colours: do you want a border with bright colours? Then use a lot of primary colours. For a calmer border, mix primary colours with secondary colours, such as green. Be careful with dominant colours such as red, which can dominate if you also choose other colours.
- Pastel colours: Pastel colours give a soft and lovely atmosphere in the garden. Make sure that you have different pastel colours in your border, otherwise the border will be a bit pale.
- Dark colours: Mix plants and flowers of a dark colour (such as dark blue and dark green) with lighter colours such as white, silvery grey, yellow or orange. That way, plants with dark colours will stand out better. Too much dark colour results in a border with less impact.
- Warm colours: For a border with warm colours, it is best to use mainly red, orange and yellow tones. The border will really radiate in the summer.
- Soft colours: For a cool or softer border, choose more neutral colours such as white, pink and blue. These colours have less impact than, for instance, red and purple.
Tip: Bear in mind that light also affects colour. In sunny weather, some flowers will show better than they will under overcast skies.
If you do not know what to plant this spring, get inspired by Bakker's blogs on flower bulbs and garden plants.
Light affects colours. Dark flowers need a lot of light to achieve their full potential. White flowers look better on a cloudy day, in the shade or at dusk.
As soon as the border has been laid out, you can start with the most fun part… planting! There are also a number of things to take into account when planting. For example, give your sunny spots to the plants and flowers that like full sun. Give very sensitive flowers a place out of the wind where they will not be blown over.
When planting, it is always advisable to get started with preparing the soil first. Make sure that the weeds have been removed and the soil is well-turned. To improve the quality of the soil, mix it with fresh potting soil. Pay close attention to the needs of your plants. One plant may prefer acidic soils, while another will prefer a clay soils. You can always read about this on the plant label on the packaging and on Bakker's website. And then the time has finally come, you can start planting. Always dig large holes for the roots or bulbs, fill the holes with fresh potting compost and press the soil down lightly. Do not forget to give some extra water after planting.
Do you want to make a start with your borders? Then check Bakker's extensive garden range in the online shop.

It is amazing what kind of vegetation you can find around the world. Near Porto was an amazing botanical garden that featured a full garden of cactus. While cactus is best known for growing in a arid and dry environment, Porto is home to some moisture, especially being so close to the ocean. This was obviously not a natural vegetation to the area, but it was interesting to see how the cactus flourished. Walking around the gardens gave you the feel that you were actually in the South Western US, as opposed to northern Portugal. Worth walking through if you have the time.


This unique Memorial to Diana Princess of Wales in Hyde Park London was opened by Her Majesty The Queen on 6th July 2004. It is a fascinating example from landscape design.
Diana was the best loved princess in Britain and the fountain is a monument in Hyde Park for her.
Landscape architect Gustafson Poter succeed in evocating Diana's soft character and her ethical activities through using water. The design aims to reflect Diana's life, water flows from the highest point in two directions as it cascades, swirls and bubbles before meeting in a calm pool at the bottom. The water is constantly being refreshed and is drawn from London's water table.
The most impressive fact is that the physical elements of fountain design such as smooth shape of the fountain, or materials enable people to move emotionally! Surely it is the power of good design.
Although described as an oval stone fountain, it has the form of a large, oval stream bed about 50 by 80 m (165 by 260 feet) that surrounds, and is surrounded by, a lush grassy field. The granite streambed is from 3 to 6 m (10 to 20 feet) wide and quite shallow and is laid out on a gently sloping portion of the park, so that water pumped to the top of the oval flows down either side.
One side of the stream bed descends fairly smoothly to the downhill end of the oval with gentle ripples. The other side consists of a variety of steps, rills, curves, and other shapes so that the water plays in interesting ways as it flows to the tranquil pool at the bottom. The two sides were intended to show the two sides of Diana's life, both happy times and turmoil.
The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial fountain was built with the best materials, talent and technology. It contains 545 pieces of Cornish granite - each shaped by the latest computer-controlled machinery and pieced together using traditional skills.
This 545 individual pieces of Cornish granite were cut using sophisticated computer-guided cutting machines by S. McConnell & Sons in Kilkeel, Northern Ireland.
This design for peaceful sound from flowing water was best idea to reflect Diana's character. In order to make various kind of water flowing sound, they designed different depth and different width depends on the part of the fountain.
The Memorial also symbolises Diana's quality and openness. There are three bridges where you can cross the water and go right to the heart of the fountain. The owner of The Royal Parks in Hyde Park London hope visitors will feel at home when they visit this special place, and feel free to sit on the edge of the Memorial and refresh your feet.
Good design is always offering great experience to its owner and their guests.

London Borough of Camden
In 2015 we’ve been asked by a consortium consisting of the Alexandra Road Residents Association, landscape architects J&L Gibbons and Camden council to develop a signage and wayfinding scheme for the newly landscaped Alexandra Road Park. A masterpiece of modern architecture, the park lies at the centre of the famous Alexandra Road Estate.
Due to the complexity of the landscape that stretches along a wide curve across a number of different levels, we designed a simplified axonometric map, located at either end of the park to provide basic orientation to the visitor. The centrepiece of the signage consists of a cast simplified 3D model of the park, situated on a curved concrete plinth at the main entrance.
Other pieces of signage include two interpretation boards, as well as statutory signs and noticeboards.

"Phoebes was a joy to work with from start to finish"
"When we moved in, our garden had no flowers, little grass, tired Leylandii and an odd shrub. My brief to Phoebes was to create a garden I could love! Lee & Danny came and brought the seemingly tricky design to life, ably helped by others on the Phoebes Team, and Mike helped us choose interesting plants, often ones I would not have thought of having in my garden. We now have a garden I love with lots of variety. Phoebes was a joy to work with from start to finish." (Mrs M. - Orpington)
"We are both over the moon with the end result"
"I have to say that from start to finish, the conduct and professionalism of all the staff involved in the project has been outstanding. The work clearly was quite challenging, especially in such extreme weather conditions! The landscape alone had its own challenges, but, now finished we are both over the moon with the end result. Mike, thank you for your time, energy & enthusiasm. All outstanding. A huge thank you again to all."
(Mr & Mrs B. - West Wickham)
"Our garden is now completely transformed"
"Our garden needed a complete overhaul. Mike guided us, he created a beautiful design and also recommended and advised us on which shrubs, trees and patio stones to pick. Our garden is now completely transformed, we love it, and everyone who visits is very impressed with the flow and the workmanship. The Phoebes Team, including Lee, Steve and Danny worked really hard through all weathers and we had complete trust in them. They will be back in the new year to start on the front garden and driveway and I can highly recommend Phoebes."
(Ms S. - West Wickham)

Building Area: 4,518sm (48,632sft)
One of Canada’s first post-secondary facilities shared by a native and non native institute, designed to reflect the cultural characteristics of the aboriginal students, and provide state of the art learning spaces required by University College of the Cariboo. The program includes classrooms, faculty offices, social spaces, labs, bookstore, cafeteria, and library. Internal “siting” of functional spaces has been with the intention of eliminating any sense of hierarchy.
As Design Architect, Alfred Waugh led the design process involving intensive user group interaction, and numerous site visits with the native elders. The semi-circular shape is the first gesture toward the circular scheme of the master plan. This shape is meaningful and recurring native theme. A ceremonial arbour will be the focus of the space “framed” by the circle Both the arbour and the building are oriented on the cardinal points, with the building’s main entrance on the east axis, symbolizing the start of the day.
The building is designed as a cold climate green building. This commitment to the “new technology “ of environmental sustainability is in clear alignment with the historical aboriginal structures of the area. The building emerges from the sloping site, and evolves into a three storey building. The “inner strip” of the semicircular rooftop is planted, adding to the sense of the building growing out of the landscape and also supporting the intention of minimal disruption of the natural landscape of the undeveloped site.

Santa Barbara Sandstone and French Limestone Create an Inviting Fire Pit Entertainment Area
For over a century, Santa Barbara Sandstone has been popular on many prominent public buildings and residences in Southern California. Santa Barbara Sandstone is unique and beautiful sandstone indigenous to Santa Barbara, Montecito and nearby areas in California. This location sits on a geological formation which produces the famous golden or buff colored stone. Santa Barbara Sandstone in its natural state is harvested as boulders and famous for texture and masons enjoy its work-ability.
Monarch Stone International had previously supplied and installed Santa Barbara Sandstone and French limestone for this stunning home overlooking the ocean in California, 18 years ago. The new owners requested us to once again supply and install both Santa Barbara Sandstone and French Limestone for the upgrade to outdoor entertainment area.
Fire pit and entertainment areas that include stone, invoke a feeling of warmth and connection with nature. The invitation to come, sit and stay a while, is easily conveyed by the use of natural materials. This was achieved by the design and choice to fabricate all bench components in Santa Barbara Sandstone with a honed finish, providing an attractive contrast to the split face sandstone veneer.
The natural stone design continued with French limestone flooring in “Massangis” as well as French limestone fire pit coping “Buxy Jaune” in a 4” thickness to match the pre-existing pool coping. A successful result to this beautiful homes backyard landscape.

Notes From My Tree Journal
I've always enjoyed portals or windows in the landscape. It's a favorite theme. I always love the mystery of what may be on the other side. Fair Oaks in Evinston has many natural portals scattered through the fields and woods. That is one of many reasons I love painting there so much. Trees often grow together creating natural paths and portals. It's like they are lined up beconing to me to walk through. Trees are living beings. Their roots grow deep, anchoring the land, preventing erosion and harboring many other creatures. They have much to tell us if we stop to listen and spend time with them.


After completion of the raised beds, the construction of Limestone patio and pathways has begun. The inconsistency in the weather ranging from bright sunny spells to heavy showers, demands rapid change in our work plans. Fortunately sunny spells allowed us to finish the painting of the Shiplap timber cladding and planting during the showers was feasible and at least somewhat enjoyable. A considerable amount of work remains to be completed and the site still resembles more of a construction site than a garden.
The completed limestone work, despite looking a little grubby, bearing all the signs of work in progress, is nonetheless a beautiful and striking stone. The warm appearance of brighter stone is certainly preferred by more people but limestone does offer a real alternative, one of confidence, albeit darker appearance. The darker tones are more dramatic and already one can see how the various forms of limestone (stone and paving) combine to create a striking and unified appearance. Extensive planting featuring a good balance of shrubs, trees and herbaceous plants will provide striking colours as the plant stock develops.


Mayor of Athens Kostas Bakoyannis said on Tuesday that the municipal authorities were working hard to complete a series of projects in the Greek capital aimed at improving the living standards of its residents and improving the experience of visitors.
In an interview with SKAI TV, Bakoyannis said despite the backlash, a major urban overhaul of Athens which includes the redevelopment of the central Panepistimiou street and Syntagma square, the city parks projects, the pedestrian walkways and the cleaning of the square and the city park, as well as the creation of a metro station on Exarchia Square and Strefi Hill revamp were progressing as planned.
The mayor said Strefi Hill in Exarchia had been abandoned for many years and due to neglect people had stopped going there. Planned work on the central hill includes clean-up, installation of lighting and fire safety equipment, landscaping and soil support which will be funded under the city’s ongoing Adopt Your Own city” with a sponsorship of 1 million euros.
Bakoyannis said efforts were also being made to save the city’s last remaining mulberry trees as part of the largest urban renewal program to be carried out in the Greek capital in recent decades. The mayor admitted that more than 1,300 trees have been lost in Athens, with 1.5% of the city’s trees reaching 30% in some neighborhoods.
As for Syntagma Square, Bakoyannis said final finishing touches are underway, including shade infrastructure, landscaping and fountains.
Finally, the mayor spoke about several other ongoing projects, including the creation of new public spaces, the redesign of Lycabettus Hill and the National Garden, and the repair of dozens of playgrounds and courts.
“We currently have 85 playgrounds in Athens. We’ve upgraded about 20 of them, and we’ll be upgrading to 15 more in the near future. We are also modernizing the district courts. Of the city’s 115 playgrounds, we have repaired 25 and will now open 80 more. We have also completed a network of 10 ‘pocket parks’ and we are continuing,” said Bakoyannis, adding that it was time for residents to observe the change taking place around them.

Remember my Backyard ideas post, where you all kindly helped me decide to create a feature garden in the green highlighted section? Well... I completely forgot that we need to have a 1m wide strip of concrete all around both the house and the detached garage. This means that the shape of the "feature garden" might need to change :(
So what do you think of our new "feature garden" shape?
Or should we perhaps widen the concrete driveway, in order to have a triangle shaped garden?
Look forward to reading your feedback :)

Bought this from Chris Kirk at Telperion Farms in December 2014. They’re great growers out in Oregon. If you don’t see what you’re looking for on their website definitely give them a call or email. They have lots of stock! Here is the tree as received:
I let it grow all year in 2015 without pruning. Just wanted to get to know the tree, walk around it for a while, and determine what side would present the best front. So here it is in March, 2016:
See all the small shoots popping at the big branches? Those will be used to make the final branches over the next few years. Smaller branches offer flexibility, ramification close to the trunk, add a refined feeling, and thin branches make the trunk seem fatter.
It was finally time to reduce the tree to primary branches, spread them out, and balance the strength. I haven’t repotted it, so the tree should be plenty vigorous, and respond well to this pruning.
The remaining branches were spread out and lowered, in preparation for a great growing season.
Two good options for front:
Mid-April, and it’s budding strongly; you can get away with drastic work when you let the tree get strong, and work in the correct season:
Mid-June and it’s starting to take shape a little bit…

Outdoor Lighting Trends in Independence and Kansas City
For so many years, the light that hangs outside your back door was the only lighting in your entire backyard. Times have changed, and people are really starting to take advantage of their outdoor space and add significantly to their living area. In fact, some homeowners use outdoor lighting in such a creative and functional way that their backyard transforms to almost a back room where families spend so much of their time.
Outdoor Lighting For Entertaining
The nice thing about installing outdoor lighting is the ways that you extend the use of the space until your ready till retire, not just until the sun goes down. Entertaining outdoors is so convenient and a great way to expand the number of friends that you can comfortably fit at one time. So just what sort of outdoor lighting would help to transform your outdoor space? Let’s look at some of the options available.
LED Outdoor Lighting
For minimalists and those not trying to do more than highlight dark areas a very popular choice is LED lighting, (light emitting diodes). These lights are efficient on energy and offer plenty of selection of styles and work well to highlight an area softly. Consider that LED lighting is the same kind of lighting on a laptop or dashboard, so the light is a backdrop in order to see well, but not overpower and create shadows.
If you prefer outdoor lighting with more illumination than a good consideration or alternative to LED’s is reflector light fixtures. Reflectors make use of 35 watts, where LEDs generally for outdoor lighting use 1 watt. So the difference in the amount and brightness of the light that shines is significant. Many homeowners choose to use a combination of the two, keeping outdoor lighting near the house using reflectors, and outer areas or uplighting in backgrounds and bed liners in LED.
Low Voltage Outdoor Lighting
Some prefer a newer option that has been recently popular with outdoor lighting choices is low voltage lighting. If you consider that your home runs on 120 volts, low voltage lighting provides a lot of light but uses just 12 volts. Low volt outdoor lighting is another alternative that is used frequently in directional lighting, either up or down lighting. With use of the low voltage, there’s no need for deep trenches around the lit areas.

Things have been hopping around here. I will start this post with some pictures of the beauty that God surrounds us with. We had to go and drop something off at a friend's house. I love her property. It has a wild beauty to it. I would love to have the natural looking gardens that she does.


Liatris spicata - Marsh Blazing Star
Dense gayfeather or marsh blazing star is an erect, slender perennial reaching a height of 3-4 ft. The linear, grass-like leaves are clumped toward the base of the plant, but extend up the stem to the showy flower cluster. A tall spike of rayless, rose-purple (sometimes white), closely set flower heads. The purple, tufted flower heads are arranged in a long, dense spike blooming from the top down.The species name describes the elongated inflorescence, with its crowded, stalkless flower heads. The protruding styles give the flower an overall feathery appearance, hence its alternate name, Dense Gayfeather.


The product is good. It snaps together nicely and lays in any size you wish. The one down fall is the edging. The ratio of squares and edging is wrong. There is not enough edging to go around and I ended up cutting part of it to make it join properly. It looks unprofessional that way, but the cushion outweighs the edging issues.

Dune Peninsula at Point Defiance
With the help of Tacoma voters, the ASARCO Superfund site is being transformed into a major waterfront attraction. The $60 million project broke ground in 2015 and is projected to be finished in 2018.
On Feb. 12, 2018, the Park Board approved the name Dune Peninsula at Point Defiance Park for the highly anticipated space that’s still under construction around the Tacoma Yacht Club boat basin.
Artist Adam Kuby has been commissioned to create Alluvion, a signature artwork for the new 11-acre park on the peninsula.

Public Invited to Greenways and Trails Master Plan Town Hall Meeting on Oct. 7
Miami Lakes, FL -The Town of Miami Lakes invites the community to attend a Town Hall meeting on the Greenways and Trails Master Plan presented by the Director of Community & Leisure Services Tony Lopez, at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, October 7 in the Council Chamber of Town Hall, 6601 Main Street, Miami Lakes.
The Town of Miami Lakes received grant funding through the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to develop a Greenways and Trails Master Plan to create a non-motorized transportation system to connect communities, schools, parks, and businesses. The plan focuses on key elements of non-motorized transportation including pedestrian pathways, bicycle trails, shared-use paths, recreational greenways, and connections to mass transit, thereby optimizing walking and bicycling as healthy, clean transportation options in Miami Lakes.
The plan highlights five areas for commuter trail development located at: NW 77th Court; Canal Trail between Leaning Pine Drive and NW 67th Avenue; NW 67th Avenue; NW 87th Avenue; and NW 154th Street. The trail system branches off from these major corridors to incorporate scenic areas throughout the Town’s neighborhoods.

Pool waterfalls are a very popular addition to many backyard pools. They are built to flow down into your swimming pool and create the "endless flow" look. A lot of pools nowadays also have lights around the waterfall to give the water a shimmering effect as the water flow hits the pool.
Pool waterfalls are generally thought of as very expensive and only obtainable by people that are willing and able to pay a small fortune for it. As expensive as you may think they are, pool waterfalls are becoming more and more popular every day.
Various Types of Pool Waterfalls
Pool waterfalls are usually made of different variations and styles of fake rock and are created to look as close to a real waterfall as possible.
Here are some of the most popular types of pool waterfalls:
- Natural Rock Waterfall
- Ledge Waterfall
- Flagstone Waterfall
- Boulder Waterfall
Natural Rock Waterfall
The natural rock style is exactly like it sounds: it's designed to look like a natural rock formation from which water trickles out of into your pool.
The ledge style waterfall has a ledge that protrudes over the pool. The water pours into your pool and looks like a see-through sheet.
With a flagstone waterfall, you will generally see a small pond-looking pool of water and/or a hot tub that is built above the pool and leaks a water sheet similar to the ledge waterfall into the swimming pool.
The boulder waterfall is made of fake rocks that are made to look like two or three fairly large stacked boulders. Water falls out of the boulders into the pool.
As you see, there are many types of pool waterfalls, and most are a lot less expensive than you would think. If you have been dreaming of getting a waterfall in your pool but didn't think you could afford it, give us a call and we'll show you photos of the many different models that we offer and work with you to decide which choice will be the best for you!

Quick, name a climate solution for cities which helps lower carbon emissions, protects vulnerable people who live there, and even helps students get better grades.
Give up? The answer is urban forests and you’re not alone if you didn’t come up with the answer. After all, most of us see the trees woven into our city streets and parks as just a pretty, cinematic backdrop for urban life. Nice to look at, certainly, but not profoundly important when compared to better mass transit and other steps cities can take to help fight climate change.
The strong recognition in the final Paris climate agreement or trees and forests of every kind, from cities to wilderness, is starting to change this perception. –by Jad Daley on Huffpost Green.

The biggest challenge we face when designing a small garden is to bring together both aesthetics and functionality in a small space. Choose best snow blower under 1000.
How can we define the perfect design of a small garden?
There are hundreds of criteria, for tastes the colors and functionality a few. But if we had to summarize the keys to design the perfect small garden we could reduce everything to 5 essential keys.
Simplification of the spaces.
We must be realistic with the possibilities that our garden offers us, trying to design a small garden under the same criteria that we use to do it with a big garden can be a big mistake and a reason to obtain a not very satisfactory result.
Simple, clear and well-defined forms will allow us to play with the limited spaces available, generating different environments where we could only sense chaos and unused spaces.
Colors and clear shades.
One of the main problems we find in the design of small gardens is the lack of light and the feeling of anxiety or claustrophobia when we are in them.
The way to solve this is simpler than it may seem. Of course we must dispense with dark colors and opaque shades. We must definitely opt for light colors, white better than best, which will provide light to our garden making it a more welcoming place.
Large furniture rather than small.
In line with the above, and as with the dark colors, small and numerous furniture will only increase the feeling of lack of space.
We will decide on large furniture and few in number. This will give us a feeling of spaciousness and harmony.
Absence of Lawn.
We do not mean that a lawn is not appropriate for a small garden. But sometimes, the dimensions are too small, and before putting a small portion of grass that breaks the harmony of space, it may be preferable to replace it with a base of pavement or pressed cement.
The design of the lighting is usually a fundamental aspect in any garden, but this is gaining importance we are working on the design of a small garden.
We must avoid defining too many points of light and that these are not focused on specific elements of the garden. This will help us to improve the perspective of our garden and convey the feeling of spaciousness to all its visitors.

Mahonia x media ‘Charity’ is an evergreen shrub. It is also known as Oregon Grape. It is part of the Berberidaceae family of plants. Mahonia x media ‘Charity’ is a hybrid created by combining Mahonia japonica (native to Taiwan) and Mahonia lomarifolia (Chinese Hollygrape, native to China). Mahonia x media ‘Charity’ has long foliage that could have up to 20 lance-shaped leaflets, it is dark green. The small cup-shaped yellow flowers appear on long stalks and racemes shoot out from the end of the leaves or when the plant is young from the center of the plant making a rather dramatic presentation. It flowers from December to April.
Mahonia x media ‘Charity’ can grow to about 4m or 13ft. tall and almost as wide. Mahonia is hardy but should still get some protection from the frost, mulching usually helps.
Plant Mahonia x media ‘Charity’ in moderately fertile, humus-rich, and moist soil that is well-drained and places it in the sun or partial shade. Mahonia x media ‘Charity’ is pest-free but watch out for rust and powdery mildew. It usually does not require any pruning except for shaping and removing dead leaves. Mahonia x media ‘Charity’ attracts birds and bees and butterflies. Propagate by seed or semi-hardwood cuttings.


Heritage Lottery Fund support secured A £3.5m grant to unlock and reveal the hidden heritage and landscape of the Westmorland Dales has been given initial approval¹ by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) through its Landscape Partnership (LP) programme². Friends of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority have been given the green light to develop an ambitious joint project. The project has been designed to encourage community organisations, interest groups, public and private sectors to work in partnership to deliver a raft of initiatives aimed at revealing what is hidden in the landscape and used to connect people with what is special and distinctive about the area. The project has three main aims. To unlock and reveal the rich, spectacular, but hidden heritage of the Westmorland Dales. To conserve and enhance the forgotten landscape and heritage of the Westmorland Dales ensuring that the landscape is protected and cherished; in so doing to provide a strong foundation for the “new” National Park. To provide opportunities for those journeying through the Westmorland Dales to linger in the landscape and learn about its rich cultural and natural heritage. The project area will extend over 200 sq km from Maulds Meaburn to Tebay in the West and Ravenstonedale in the south. It’s an area that now forms part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park following the extension to park boundaries in August although still lying within the county of Cumbria. It also contains a unique assemblage of cultural heritage including a remarkably intact pattern of historic settlements and associated earthworks. Earthworks in the Orton area range in age from prehistoric stone circles, cairns, and burial mounds to medieval furrow and field systems. Douglas Chalmers, Chief Executive, Friends of the Lake District said, Until recently the Westmorland Dales were the forgotten landscape; a hole in England’s landscape designation. The area’s outstanding landscape has been shaped by its tremendously rich cultural heritage over many generations. Heritage Lottery Fund support gives us the opportunity to work alongside local communities to record, interpret, conserve and manage the exceptional natural and cultural heritage of the area and ensure that many future generations are able to continue to enjoy it. The project will provide training for volunteers and establish a framework for the coordination and promotion of volunteering opportunities in the area beyond the lifetime of the project. Many of the projects within the scheme will provide opportunities for volunteers to develop skills and work to conserve the landscape and its heritage and to promote the special qualities of the area. Carl Lis, Chairman of the Yorkshire Dales National Park said, This is a fantastic opportunity for the Westmorland Dales. In partnership with the local communities, support of the Heritage Lottery Fund helps us lay the foundation for the newly designated national park giving us resources to help people look after and connect with, enjoy and benefit from this inspirational landscape and to share the distinctiveness of this special place with visitors. Ros Kerslake, Chief Executive of the Heritage Lottery Fund said, Our historic landscapes are incredibly important to people’s wellbeing and need to be protected. Some of the landscapes we are funding today are in the most remote parts of the UK; others form an important backdrop to some of our largest cities. What they all have in common is the potential to make people’s lives better, which is why they are so richly deserving of National Lottery money. A development grant of £317,204 has been awarded by HLF to enable Friends of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority to develop their plans and seek final approval for the grant amount of £3.2m for implementation at a later date. Additional notes: ¹ HLF’s Landscape Partnership (LP) programme operates a two-stage grant approval process. Today’s announcement means that money has been set aside by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for the scheme. The applicant initially receives development funding, then progresses to the second round and submits a further, fully-developed application to secure the full award. This early level of strong financial commitment means that Landscape Partnership projects can move forward with the assurance that funding for their scheme is in place provided that their final proposals fully meet the programme's criteria. ² HLF’s Landscape Partnerships are helping bring together members of the community as well as local, regional, and national organisations to deliver schemes which benefit some of the UK’s most outstanding landscapes and rural communities. Grants range from £100,000 up to £3m. The next closing date for LP applications is May 2017.


Former Writtle University College (WUC) students starred in the latest series of hit BBC2 show, Your Garden Made Perfect.
The garden design programme returned to screens in the UK in early 2022, after gaining over 2 million viewers in 2021.
Host Angela Scanlon was joined by Writtle University College graduate Helen-Elks Smith and other popular designers from season one.
Helen studied Garden Design at WUC before setting up her own studio in 2005. In 2019 she was made a Fellow of the Society of Garden Designers.
The show also introduced two new, young designers. WUC graduate and short course lecturer Oliver Bond was delighted to be included.
At just 26 years old, Ollie is the youngest member of the Society of Garden Designers. He has an MA in Landscape Architecture and is the director and founder of his own Garden Design and Build company.
His designs range from beautifully crafted tiny front gardens to massive high end and top budget gardens.
Angela Scanlon explained: "The show uses virtual reality to allow homeowners to explore their newly imagined gardens before choosing between two designs.
"Most people have some level of confidence with their homes, they know what style they like (or hate!), they've got some of the lingo but with gardens it can all feel very out of reach.
"We're helping them imagine, plus hopefully nudging them to fall in love with the great outdoors a bit - whether they have a little woodland or a tiny balcony."

Satellite Architects have teamed up with Icons of Denmark to envision and construct a visionary modular facade installation that is designed to embrace cubical structural systems to make it possible to create structures that are versatile.
Designed to wrap around a screen consisting of trees and greenery, this modular facade installation measures 70 meters long and 7 meters high and comprises over 4,000 'GRID' modules, and is intended to be built around existing trees and bushes so that it complements them rather than overshadows them.
What's great about this modular facade installation is the fact that it proves that new design systems have a lot of potential when it comes to seamlessly binding artificial and natural elements such that they complement one another.
