When Glenstone opened in 2006, it welcomed visitors to a museum built for changing exhibitions of works drawn from the Foundation’s collection and installations of extraordinary outdoor sculpture set in a landscape of gently rolling meadows and woodlands. To date, these facilities have occupied only a portion of Glenstone’s 200 acres.
Glenstone will now embark on a construction program that will provide visitors a more expansive encounter with art, architecture and landscape and give the public access to important works of contemporary art that can be found nowhere else. A new museum building designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners together with a new landscape design by PWP Landscape Architecture will feature unique examples and concentrations of work by major contemporary artists.
The new 170,000-square-foot museum building will provide some 50,000 square feet of additional gallery space, more than quadrupling Glenstone’s existing exhibition facilities. The new museum building will also incorporate a central water garden, a library, offices and open art storage facilities.
Two other new structures designed for the public by Phifer—an arrival building and a café—are integrated within walking paths, bridges, restored meadows and woodlands throughout Glenstone’s 200 acres. More than 6,000 new trees of 43 native species are being planted as part of the design. Some 30 acres of land are being made into sustainable meadow, and more than 4,000 water lilies, irises and rushes will vary with the seasons in the museum building’s water garden.
Thomas Phifer was selected to design the expansion of Glenstone, in Potomac, Maryland, in 2010, following an international competition.
He founded Thomas Phifer and Partners in New York City in 1997 and since then has completed the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina; the Raymond and Susan Brochstein Pavilion at Rice University in Houston, Texas; the expansion of Lee Hall at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina; and the Salt Point House, Millbrook House and Taghkanic House in the Hudson River Valley of New York State.
Work under construction includes the United States Federal Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Utah, expansion of the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, and the prototype of a new street light fixture for New York City. The firm is also designing a field house and velodrome in New York City, a federal office building in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and houses in Madison, Wisconsin, and Dallas, Texas.
Thomas Phifer received his Bachelor of Architecture in 1975 and his Master of Architecture in 1977, both from Clemson University in his native South Carolina. In 1995 he received the prestigious Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome; in 2004 he was awarded the Medal of Honor of the New York Chapter of the AIA (the highest award given to an individual or firm); and in 2011 he was elected an Academician of the National Academy of Design.
Thomas Phifer’s buildings have received seven AIA National Honor Awards (most recently for the Lee Hall Expansion, Brochstein Pavilion and the North Carolina Museum of Art) and 11 AIA New York Honor Awards. In 2008 his Salt Point House won an American Architecture Award from the Chicago Atheneum, and in 2009 his City Lights light fixture for New York City won a Research and Development Award from Architect magazine. The work of Thomas Phifer and Partners has been published and exhibited extensively in the United States and overseas, and a monograph on the firm was published in 2010 by Skira Rizzoli.
Thomas Phifer has served as a design instructor, lecturer and critic at numerous architecture schools. He most recently held the Stevenson Chair at the University of Texas and has taught at Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and serves as a Peer for the General Services Administration.
Peter Walker, FASLA, established PWP Landscape Architecture (formerly Peter Walker and Partners) in 1983 in Berkeley, California, having previously been the co-founder of the firm Sasaki, Walker and Associates. He has taught, lectured, written, served as an advisor to numerous public agencies and designed hundreds of projects, with a particular emphasis on cultural gardens, academic campuses, corporate headquarters, plazas and urban-regeneration projects.
He has played an essential role in the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University as both the chairman of the Landscape Architecture Department and the acting director of the Urban Design Program and was head of the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley. He is a recipient of the Honor Award of the American Institute of Architects, Harvard’s Centennial Medal, the University of Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson Medal, the ASLA Medal and the IFLA Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Gold Medal, and was recently the first Landscape Architect to receive the J.C. Nichols Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development from the Urban Land Institute.
PWP Landscape Architecture has developed a tradition of design practice that responds to and influences its environment. The partners and staff bring a range of interests and expertise together around their shared ambition to create legible, beautiful and enduring places. Major projects, in addition to Glenstone, include the Constitution Gardens on the National Mall in Washington, DC; the National 9/11 Memorial in New York City; Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas; Transbay Transit Center Park in San Francisco; Tanner Fountain at Harvard University; Novartis headquarters in Basel; Sony Center in Berlin; and Barangaroo in Sydney.
Adam Greenspan is Partner in Charge for Glenstone and has led the design of the landscape during all stages of its development. Adam strives to create integrated design that sustains both nature and culture. He holds degrees in sociology and art in addition to landscape architecture and has collaborated extensively with architects, artists, community groups and municipalities on projects including public parks, campuses, urban developments, estates and competitions. He has served on public art selection committees for the cities of San Jose and Santa Monica and is the Design Partner in Charge for Constitution Gardens and the Transbay Transit Center Park and Newport Beach Civic Center Park.


Due to the collaborative efforts of the Municipal Grants Team from Barry Isett & Associates and the staff of the Borough of Macungie, the borough was awarded a $750,000 Multimodal Transportation grant this week from the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA). The CFA awards the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s (DCED) Multimodal Transportation Fund grants.
This grant is offered through a competitive process and requires the community to demonstrate the need for the award as well as the project’s impact within the community. This recent round of funding enables the Borough of Macungie to implement phase three of their Streetscape Improvement Plan. This phase of the plan will result in the replacement of sidewalks, 9,600 square feet of bricks, 40 new street lights, pedestrian and traffic signage and landscaping along four blocks of Main Street/SR 100 between Pine and Poplar Streets.
This project will heighten the impact of phase one—which resulted in crosswalks, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Ramps, and planted bump outs—and phase two—which funded the first round of “behind curb” improvements. This latest grant award will enable enhancements to continue further down Main Street.
Since 2015, Isett’s Municipal Grants team has helped secure more than $18.2 million in funding for municipalities throughout Eastern Pennsylvania. Projects supported by grant funding include water resource protection and education projects; recreation facilities, playgrounds, park amenities and greening; open space and land conservation issues; feasibility studies and site development planning; rails-to-trails projects; pedestrian, bicyclist, and intersection safety; historic preservation; stormwater management, native plantings, and rain gardens.

Contrary to popular belief that when starting out in developing backyard space, it is mandatory that one begins by planting seeds and establishing a lawn, this does not have to be so. An attractive item which you may want to consider starting with is a pergola. Pergolas create the effect of openness and they also have the ability to create an illusion of enclosure depending on how it is used. While some people may prefer to just have a basic pergola in their backyard, you are certainly not restricted in this regard. The sky is the limit. And there are many themed pergolas which you may make use of depending on the image which you want to create.
As such, people often try to blend form with function and make their watering systems look like a backyard pond and waterfall. This system, however, needs to both look good and work good in order to be good. Not many people can pull it off. Because of this, you might want to ask for help from experts in building this backyard pond and waterfall.
Outdoor lighting can create the right ambiance for your outdoor backyard living area. Electric or solar lamps made especially for lighting walkways, garden beds or even outdoor fireplaces can make all the difference to the final appearance of your backyard design.

Crepe myrtles are well known in the south for being easy to care for and abundance. While crepe myrtles are beautiful, more homeowners are substituting other trees for them due to Crepe Myrtle Bark Scale that coats the tree in sticky honeydew and sooty mold. Some alternatives to the Crepe Myrtle are flowering dogwoods and Kousa dogwoods. These can be used if the flowers of a crepe myrtle are what you would like to imitate. Another alternative is sweet tea olive tree or a Chinese parasol tree whose bark peels similarly to that of the Crepe Myrtle.Finally the Chaste tree can also be substituted as it has similar large blooms.
- While Crepe Myrtle looks beautiful, it is annoying to take care of
- to find a good alternative, you first have to find what part you like most about the crepe myrtle
- for example, if you like the crepe myrtle’s flowers, dogwood is a good substitute

Available for everyone to access “The Dell Woodland Walk” is situated to the rear and far side of the Garden Centre.
Originally the wood formed part of a large wooded area stretching across the west end of the Pevensey levels from Eastbourne to Hailsham then drifting up to Uckfield. This small area linked to the Dell pond formed a coppiced working wood supplying natural materials for local industry.
The wood has been developed over the last few years with the help of volunteer Brian. Currently, we have been working on the area introducing:
The Bluebell spring walk
An open meadow area,
Butterfly and bee corner,
New pond with viewing tree top bridge
In order to continue to plant up and conserve the New and Ancient Woodland area we are asking for donations for carrier bags. This will be used to support the maintenance, control and increased biodiversity of the woodland.


Although azaleas are hardy plants, able to withstand freezing temperatures, measures still should be taken to protect them from frost. The plants need help adjusting to cold temperatures as autumn turns to winter. An unexpected frost late in spring, after blooms form, also can hurt azalea bushes. Freezing temperatures and temperature fluctuations can stress the plants, causing their bark to split or their leaves to curl. Because azaleas have shallow root systems, frozen soil can injure their roots if they have no protection.
Place a layer of mulch around the azaleas. Leave about 6 inches around each stem not mulched, which will prevent suffocation and rotting. Make the mulch layer no thicker than 4 inches. If it is too thick, it can suffocate the plants. The mulch will insulate the soil around the plants' roots and help to retain moisture.
Water the azaleas after the first killing frost of the season. The water will keep the plants from drying out as the temperatures drop. It also helps to insulate their root systems.
Hammer four wooden stakes into the soil around each azalea bush, placing them about 2 feet from each bush.
Cover each azalea bush with fabric on nights when the temperature drops to 25 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. Hang the cloth from the four stakes you put in the ground. Use fabric that breathes so the plants do not suffocate overnight. Take the cloths off the next day so the plants do not become too warm.
Things You Will Need
- Mulch (wood chips, straw or pieces of rubber)
- Watering can or garden hose
- Rubber mallet or hammer
- Wooden stakes
- Fabric such as burlap, loosely woven blanket or frost cloth
- Reduce watering as the temperature drops. Azaleas need to go into a dormant state and to harden off for winter weather.
- Avoid fertilizing azaleas in autumn or before a frost. Late fertilization causes new growth, which may be too tender to survive winter.

You can create a garden that looks like a perfect picture or a fairy tale scene. There are endless possibilities on how to decorate your garden with the right paving stone. Your perfect garden can be created by selecting the best paving stones that will fit not only your garden but your pocket too. Decorating a garden can both be easy and fun if you plan it correctly beforehand. Planning is essential since there are many ways to adapt a garden.
Finally I remembered, went into the workshop, got the half-moon lawn edger, sharpened it and descended onto the enemy. I just plunged it in between the stones, straight up and down, levered a little to raise the stone, removed the garbage that grows or is planning to grow and that did it.

The original idea for the disposal of millions of tons of municipal solid waste was developed by architects Evan Erlebacher and André Guimond. To partially relieve the city's crowded landfills and incinerators, they proposed creating waste compost islands - Green Loaps.
The essence of the ambitious environmental project is as follows: the garbage collected in New York is transported instead of landfills to special coastal recycling points, where it is composted. That is, it turns into nutrient-rich soil, from which the islands will consist.
At the top of the island there will be public parks of 12 acres each, which will significantly increase the green space of the giant metropolis. Thanks to artificial islands, the amount of garbage will be reduced by almost a third, which corresponds to about 4 million tons per year.


If you’re a nature or botanics lover, or just love spending time amongst nature- the Santa Clotilde Botanical Garden in Lloret De Mar, Spain is the place to be. I’ve been to other Botanical Gardens before, but almost all of them were much smaller in comparison to this grand location. Santa Clotilde isn’t just a collection of beautiful plants and scenery, but a nature sanctuary filled with stunning views, and mazes of the tallest trees, and shiny sculptures.
Santa Clotilde isn’t exactly the place that you would accidentally stumble across on your travels across Spain, but it is definitely somewhere that any local could direct you towards. If you plan on going, be sure to pack water and maybe a snack as time seems to fly past when you’re there; it would take you at least an hour to get around the whole garden, and that’s only if you’re continuously walking and not stopping to take in the sights, or take pictures.
I personally spent around two to three hours there, just sitting around and enjoying the natural surroundings that I don’t see all too much in London. Santa Clotilde could also be the perfect place to take a significant other as a romantic day trip (particularly one area where you can see the ocean through the trees).
Here are a few pictures that I took during my trip…

This is my first blog on this part of my website using WordPress. I will update this a bit more regularly than the rest of greengardendesign.com and keep up to date with current projects and also post landscape photographs and any musings I have on design, gardening, landscape and the environment in general.
So why choose a garden designer?
There are other options available when deciding to undertake a garden project, so is there any need to take on the expense of another professional? I would say yes, but then I would, wouldn’t I! I do, however, have some valid reasons why a garden designer could save you money, worry and worst of all, a bad garden. Of course a bad garden designer could do the reverse of these three, but we won’t talk about them today.
First of all you should decide whether a project is of a large enough scale to make it worth a designers while. It may be that a landscaper could help you make some decisions on a small scale patio for example. Some designers will have a minimum spend for a project, under which they deem it not worth their or your time and money (often around the £10k mark). As a project increases in size and budget, so to does the need for a designer to make sure money is being spent in the right places.
A designer should:
- help you decide what you really want and need from a garden, even if you didn’t know before;
- create plans and drawings that excite and infuse you with a passion for the project;
- make sure that the space will function to your needs and everything is to an appropriate scale;
- act in your best interest and sell you only what you need;
- create plant plans that fit with your maintenance expectations;
- help you choose a reputable landscape contractor that has the ability to carry out the build correctly;
- specify construction and material quality so contractors can price accurately;
- if asked to oversee the build, keep on top of situations arising on-site (your garden) and help inform decisions made, on a regular basis (stuff happens!);
- be as proud of the finished garden as you are.
A professional landscape designer should do all these things and more, they will make countless micro decisions that will effect the out come of the finished space, informed by experience, training and a little bit of inspiration.

Sedona AZ (January 10, 2014) – For any newcomer to northern Arizona’s high country, the visual impact of red rock formations can overshadow what exists on the ground – a landscape teeming with native plants often termed wonders of nature.
From intriguing names like spider antelope horns (part of the milkweed family) to broom snakeweed and Spanish bayonets, native plants are an essential part of experiencing the high country.
Exploring and explaining how native plants and wildlife relate is only one of several topics of the day-long workshop set for Saturday, March 8, from 8:30am to 3:00pm at West Sedona School, 570 Posse Ground Road. Presented by Keep Sedona Beautiful for the 35th year, the event highlights aspects of what an Arizona high country landscape entails and how to not only enjoy but create your own setting.
Included in the upcoming workshop are break-out sessions offering insights into maintaining a healthy low-water landscape, selecting and growing native plants and animals, landscaping without nuisance wildlife, and attracting bees.
T. Barnabas Kane, founder of T. Barnabas Kane & Associates in Prescott, has 25 years of experience in landscape architecture. For the upcoming workshop he will deliver one of the keynote presentations: Rainwater Harvesting and Hydrozoning with Plants.
The event will close with keynote speaker Jeff Schalau, the County Extension Director for the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension speaking on Selecting and Caring for Native Grasses and Shrubs.
In conjunction with the Native Plant Workshop, Keep Sedona Beautiful will sponsor a Silent Auction.
More details about speakers and workshops will be released in the coming weeks.

Published at Monday, 23 September 2019. Backyard. By Fanchon Godin.
Backyard fireplaces add ambiance and warmth to your outdoor living area. Not only do they add to the decor but they are the place where most of the entertaining and conversations take place. There are many things that you need to think about when researching backyard fireplaces. What are you going to use it for? Do you want something fancy or plainer? What type of design do you want? How much room is in the backyard or on the patio for a fireplace? These are just a few of the questions you should ask yourself while you are researching.
Anything with big, deep green leaves works great, and all the better if it is evergreen. Ornamental grasses like Pampus and Maiden grass make great foundation plants. They seem to add a care-free feel to the landscape as they move with the wind. You should be able to find several that are adapted to your area. Finally, try to find some color for the foundation. Any shrub or tree that flowers and is well adapted to your area is great for your foundation. Crepe myrtles are favorites in southern landscapes. Remember, the idea here is to set that permanent foundation. You’ll definitely want to use things that are reliable in your area, and will not succumb to winter cold.
For any pro-green individual who is interested in different ways they can contribute to their environment, a backyard sanctuary is certainly an environmentally friendly option. Many rural areas are being subjected to various types of industrial and residential developments, which result in the destruction of the natural wildlife habitats of many species big and small. These developments leave many types of wildlife without a functional home. Thus, individuals who decide to open their backyards as a wildlife home are offering a shelter to many wildlife that are finding it difficult to locate an ideal natural habitat of their own.

Have Your Say – Wild Park Rainscape
The Aquifer Partnership (TAP) has won some funding to improve a small area in Wild Park in Brighton, creating an attractive natural landscape. Designed around several shallow planted basins, known as ‘rainscapes’ which can hold water during heavy rainfall, it will help to reduce pollution and improve the area for people and nature.
The design is progressing well, and we’ve being listening to everyone who’s commented so far. We’re planning a few more local events before the details are finalised for the planning application. We’d like to make sure everyone who wants to is able to find out more, and comment on the proposals.
Please drop in to one of our community events to hear more about the plans, and let us know what you think:
Wednesday 18th May 2022
11:00 – 13:30 at New Larchwood, Waldron Avenue, Brighton, BN1 9EZ
14:00 – 19:00 at Moulsecoomb Hall, Lewes Rd, Brighton BN2 4GA
Further dates in June, July and August will be published here, and we will present final designs on 30th August 2022 (venue TBC) before applying for planning consent in September.
TAP is keen to support local people in setting up a ‘Friends of Wild Park’ for people to get more involved in the scheme as it progresses.
Rainscapes have many benefits in both urban and rural settings. They slow the flow of water when there is heavy rain, which can help prevent or reduce flooding. They also help filter pollution from the water they collect, which reduces the amount of pollution getting into important groundwater stores. They provide important habitats for nature as crucial urban greenspace, with a beautiful diversity of planting and wildflowers that can support all sorts of species, as well as creating a wonderful area of greenspace and reducing impacts of flooding. A win win situation!

This lovely late sunshine has brought back memories of a wonderful lunch we had at our friends’ (Sabine and Christopher Hoysted’s) house in Provence. Sabine is an interior designer but she could equally be a garden designer as her garden just outside St Remy de Provence (Van Gogh country) is delightful and very pretty indeed.
On our way back from Provence we stopped to look at Chartres cathedral, which is of course magnificent, but which was undergoing alot of renovation so I was delighted to see the beautiful planting to the side of it! In fact, dare I admit it, as a garden designer I was almost more taken with

DESIGN 211: Elements of Design
- Discuss fundamental Elements (e.g., line, color and form) and Principles (e.g., unity, balance and scale) of design.
- Define perceptual skills and a better understanding of spatial organization and spatial relationships.
- Use these concepts to design beautiful spaces that connect with the surrounding environment.
- Use your communication skills to accurately portray your design intent to the client.
This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of good design and will teach you how to lay out the different improvements in your projects (e.g. pool, spa, patio, etc). We will break the fundamentals down into two categories: the Elements of Design and the Principles of Design. Once you have a good grasp of the fundamentals, you will learn how to apply them. We will start with short practice exercises and build up to a final project: creating a master plan that includes a pool and spa.

Description: The overlay shows the tracks, park and waste areas before the beginning of the construction of today's main station. The construction of the tracks between 1907 an 1927 has been accompanied by massiv intrusions in the Schlossgarten park. The Kings Gate, the dairy-farm and the Orangerie, situated between today's plattforms 14 and 16 had to be demolished. In the middle of the park, a wall up to a height of 8 meters had to be constructed. Big parts of the maintenance area and the tracks to Feuerbach have been built on an area which had been designated as urban development areas. Because of the unique chance to rectify this wrong development after 100 years, Stuttgart21 is rightly called a sustainable and ecological project.


Pathway illumination plays a crucial role in enhancing the safety and aesthetics of outdoor spaces. Whether it's a garden pathway, a driveway, or a walkway in a commercial or public area, proper lighting can make a significant difference in terms of visibility and ambiance. In recent years, LED flood lights have gained immense popularity for pathway illumination due to their numerous advantages. They offer a reliable and energy-efficient lighting solution that outperforms traditional lighting options. In this article, we will explore why LED flood lights are considered ideal for pathway illumination and discuss their key benefits in detail.
Proper visibility is of utmost importance when it comes to pathway lighting. LED flood lights are designed to provide bright and uniform illumination along pathways, ensuring clear visibility for pedestrians and vehicles. These lights deliver a focused beam of light that effectively illuminates the pathway without causing glare or hot spots. They distribute light evenly and minimize the shadows and dark areas, reducing the risk of accidents and increasing safety in outdoor areas.
Moreover, LED flood lights can be directed and angled to illuminate specific areas precisely. This feature allows for targeted lighting, such as highlighting certain architectural elements or points of interest along the pathway. By selectively illuminating these areas, LED flood lights not only enhance safety but also create a visually appealing environment, making the pathway more inviting and pleasant to traverse.
LED flood lights are highly energy-efficient compared to traditional lighting alternatives. They consume less electricity while providing the same or even better illumination levels, resulting in significant energy savings. LED technology converts most of the electrical energy into light, minimizing wasted energy in the form of heat. This efficiency translates into reduced electricity bills and lower maintenance costs over the lifespan of the lights.
LED flood lights can also save costs in terms of maintenance. They have an exceptionally long lifespan, lasting up to 50,000 hours or more. This extended lifespan reduces the frequency of bulb replacements, which is particularly advantageous for pathway lighting that requires continuous operation. Additionally, LED flood lights are resistant to shock, vibrations, and external impacts, making them highly durable and reliable in outdoor settings. Their robust construction ensures minimal maintenance requirements and eliminates the need for frequent replacements, resulting in further cost savings.
LED flood lights are an environmentally friendly lighting option for pathway illumination. They do not contain hazardous substances such as mercury, which is commonly found in traditional lighting sources like fluorescent and incandescent bulbs. The absence of mercury makes LED flood lights less harmful to the environment and easier to dispose of at the end of their lifespan.
Furthermore, LED flood lights contribute to reducing carbon emissions. As these lights are highly energy-efficient, they require less electricity to operate, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. By choosing LED flood lights for pathway illumination, individuals, businesses, and communities can actively participate in sustainable practices and contribute towards a greener future.
LED flood lights offer a wide range of design options, making them suitable for various pathway lighting applications. They are available in different shapes, sizes, and colors, allowing for customization according to specific lighting requirements. Whether the pathway requires subtle and warm lighting or bright and cool tones, LED flood lights can be selected to create the desired ambiance and aesthetic appeal.
In addition to aesthetic flexibility, LED flood lights are also available in different beam angles. This versatility allows for precise lighting distribution, ensuring that the pathway is uniformly illuminated from the beginning to the end. The ability to adjust the beam angle enables effective lighting of both straight and curved pathways, ensuring optimal visibility and safety for pedestrians and vehicles alike.
LED flood lights provide instant illumination without any warm-up time. Unlike traditional lighting systems that take time to reach their full brightness, LED flood lights turn on instantly, ensuring immediate visibility as soon as they are switched on. This feature is particularly beneficial for pathway lighting, where instant lighting is essential to ensure the safety of individuals using the pathway, especially during nighttime or low-light conditions.
Moreover, LED flood lights can be easily dimmed to create different lighting scenarios along the pathway. Dimming capabilities allow for adjusting the brightness levels according to specific requirements and preferences. For instance, a pathway illuminated by LED flood lights can be dimmed during late hours to create a more relaxed and serene atmosphere, promoting a sense of tranquility and safety.
LED flood lights have revolutionized pathway illumination by providing a versatile, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly lighting solution. With their enhanced visibility, cost savings, flexible design options, and instant-on functionality, LED flood lights have become the preferred choice for pathway lighting in both residential and commercial settings. By upgrading to LED flood lights, individuals and communities can benefit from improved safety, reduced energy consumption, and a more sustainable approach to outdoor lighting. Embracing LED technology not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of pathways but also contributes to creating a greener and more environmentally conscious world..


If you’re driving onto The Palm anytime soon, you might think you’ve taken a wrong turn into Brazilian rainforest.
It’s part of the same project by Brand Dubai that wants to turn Dubai into an open-air museum and has transformed the streets of old Dubai into a huge art gallery.
Brand Dubai is the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office and they’ve joined with developer Nakheel to make Dubai more beautiful as part of the #DubaiSpeakstoYou initiative.
Their debut joint project is to turn the flyover of East Crescent on Palm Jumeirah into a verdant green forest. They’re not actual trees, but a faux forest using fibreglass to make the pillars of the bridge look like tree trunks and creating dense foliage sprouting across the underside of the bridge.
Yes, it’s all got a bit Shakespearian on Dubai’s iconic artificial island, as a forest seems to have moved in overnight.
There’s a perfectly natural explanation though – this is the first of many #DubaiSpeakstoYou project set to roll out across the city, to help realise the vision of Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Fake plastic trees sounds like an epic song title, by the way.


Work is co-ordinated from our central office in Stratford-upon-Avon with regular meetings to review progress.
At Rock & Water we take time and trouble in the early stages of the design process to fully understand our clients’ requirements, enabling us to create concepts that are practical as well as pertinent.
Once work is underway we remain committed to keeping on time and on budget and will not leave site until a project is finished to a client’s satisfaction.
The Design Process
Approval of detailed quotation
We want to show you how we make it easy for you to have the garden you’ve always wanted and what it’s like to work with Rock & Water…
We meet with you to get to know a little more about your likes and dislikes, it’s our job to interpret them and turn them into a design that is imaginative but achievable and realistic for your budget. Our in-house designers are fully qualified and experienced with all the inspiration and expertise to transform your garden, whatever the size or shape.
We will collect detailed information about your existing garden, such as; views, aspect, direction of wind and condition of existing plants. Changes of level will be calculated by laser equipment. This information will assist in the design of your garden.
We will take photographs and measure the garden so we can draw up a scale plan (1:110). Any plans that you may have of your house or site are also useful to us to aid in the drawing up of the plans. Each design is created for your location and the needs of you and your family and it will be unique. It will be carefully hand drawn to scale (1:100) by our designers, not by computer. The concept plan will be supported by coloured 3D sketches and pictures which will make it easier for us to explain our ideas and will give you a realistic impression of the design.
We will share the concept with you at the meeting. Very rarely do we need to change the concept, for having listened carefully, we aim to interpret your needs clearly and produce a design that matches your aspirations. Occasionally though, we may find that small details of the plan need to be changed and this is easily done at this meeting. At this stage we may also show you samples of hard landscaping materials.
When you are happy with the concept, the next stage is to create the master plan. This is the production of the detailed final plans which are used to calculate the cost of building the garden and which are needed on site by the landscaping and horticultural teams to construct your new garden. The master plan will have proposed level changes, detailed paving patterns, names of specimen shrubs and greater details about planting.
If you want your project to be built in stages, you may decide to have a master plan drawn up for the first stage of build only. A planting plan is not always essential. We can use our considerable experience to interpret your colour preferences and seasonal needs and can plant from a ‘planting concept’ and plant list.
These working drawings accompany the master plan. The location, name and quantity of each plant are shown so that the landscape team can place each plant exactly where the designer intended.
Afterwards, you will be able to use your copy to find out the name and location of each plant in your garden.
Other companies may simply post the plan and an estimate to you. We find this very impersonal and prefer to talk you through the detailed quotation. This meeting helps you to understand exactly what is involved in the building of your new garden, it is also another time for us to answer your questions and clarify things if necessary.

How to Avoid Making Costly Hardscape Mistakes
Every major home renovation, improvement, and construction project will benefit if you bring in a professional to consult, advise, and guide you through the design, decision-making, and actual construction processes. Some homeowners automatically accept that. Other homeowners don’t discover that until it’s far too late. And, many hours and dollars later, they learn the lesson the proverbial hard way.
It seems, however, when it comes to hardscape projects, many people recognize that any type of hardscape installation is a little bit beyond their scope and capabilities. And they understand the dangers and costs involved in getting it wrong.
If you’re not sure which type of homeowner you are – one who consults with a professional or the typical DIYer – and you’re exploring or getting ready to tackle a hardscape project – solo or with a professional – consider these issues when planning your next hardscape project.
Compaction is an important issue and a frequent cause of a failed hardscape construction project. Far too many times, a fixed quantity of dirt and gravel is too big. This causes the compaction process to be done improperly. Eventually, the ground naturally compacts so that anything that’s gets installed will be caused to shift. You’ll end up with terrain that’s uneven and now the entire hardscape project is compromised.
The way to prevent compaction issues is to make sure small amounts of dirt and gravel are used. And they need to be compacted thoroughly and tightly. Even though that may seem like more work and effort, in the long run, it will be done properly without mitigating the quality of the job or requiring additional expense down the road.
A properly powered machine needs to be used when installing the dirt and gravel (which are referred to as lifts).
Drainage is a major factor. It’s important that the drainage system re-uses water. This is for cost savings, of course, but it’s also helpful when rainfalls are exceptionally heavy. If the drainage system isn’t designed with a thorough working knowledge of water flow, it’s likely that the water won’t flow where it was initially designed to do so. When being constructed, the hardscape project must follow the original design plans paying special attention to the slopes.
Balance can’t be neglected. It’s common during the design phase to overlook balance, it seems it’s far too easy to get caught up with choosing elegant stones to get just the right aesthetics. However, outdoor spaces need to reflect nature’s fundamental balance between all of its elements. You don’t want to have too much concrete and not enough other elements. Otherwise, your hardscape will dominate the landscape and be off-balance.
The aesthetic appeal you were aiming for will get lost in the process if you don’t incorporate and address the importance of balance.

How long does the Landscape Design/Build process take ?
Well it varies depending on the steps below:
Step 1: Budget, Cost & Time-Frame
Budget- Revealing a realistic budget to your designer on the initial visit will speed up the process tremendously. This gives the designer a jump off point and eliminates drastic changes and sticker shock.
Cost-For simple installations you can expect to pay about 5- 10% of your home value. For larger designs a lot 10-15% of your home value.
Time-Frame-Once the initial meeting is complete, it will take the designer about 3-4 weeks for the designer to complete the design. So make sure to keep that in mind if your looking to have your project complete sooner in the season. You should really be contacting your designer in early February-March to get a spring installation.
Step 2: Final Design & Installtion
Final Design-If you expressed your needs and budget clearly this phase should be easy and quick ! Taking about 1 week.
Installation- In upstate NY installation starts in April and ends by November. Simple designs should take about 1 week for installation, more precise projects will take about 2-3 weeks ( depending on weather)
So how long does it take ? Its all up to you! To speed up the process have a budget and discuss it with your designer they can lead you in the right direction to get what you want within your budget. Lastly be patient the landscape designers goal is the create your outdoor dream.

Internationally renowned broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough, has formally opened the Attenborough Pond and launched a conservation appeal for Beverley Brook in Richmond Park.
The new Attenborough Pond, created as part of an on-going Richmond Park Ponds and Streams Conservation Programme, is located beside the road that runs from the Pen Ponds car park to the park's perimeter road near Robin Hood Gate. The programme, launched in May 2012 by The Royal Parks and Friends of Richmond Park, aims to restore existing ponds and streams and create new freshwater habitats.
Sir David said:
"I am thrilled to have the pond named after me but, more importantly, to be part of the continuing conservation project to improve and upgrade ponds and streams, the lifeblood of Richmond Park.
"It gives me great pleasure to launch the appeal to raise funds for improvements to the wildlife habitats of Beverley Brook."
The new pond folds around a single black poplar tree, one of the UK's rarest native trees. For a number of years The Royal Parks has been planting new black poplar trees in the park with the aim of re-establishing this once common species. Native species of plants will colonise the pond and the marshy areas near the pond are likely to be inhabited by newts and other amphibians.
Sir David also launched the public appeal to raise £16,000 to improve wildlife habitats across the historic Beverley Brook. The project, another member of the Ponds and Stream Conservation Programme, will see the building of kingfisher nest tunnels in the river bank, and creation of fish shelters and spawning grounds with branches and gravel. Donate here.
Richmond Park Manager Simon Richards said:
"We are delighted that Sir David Attenborough has lent his name and support to our new pond in Richmond Park. As a naturalist Sir David understands all too well the value of ponds to biodiversity in Richmond Park. Ponds support a wide range of wildlife species including the azure damselfly, common toad and smooth newt, provide foraging opportunities for bats such as the soprano pipistrelle, and are a watering point for our herd of deer and over 100 species of birds.
"With some 30 ponds in Richmond Park, we are especially thankful to the Friends of Richmond Park for their continued support in helping us maintain and restore existing ponds, and create new freshwater habitats."
The Attenborough Pond was funded by The Royal Parks, The Friends of Richmond Park, Healthy Planet, and the Richmond Park Charitable Trust.

Gold Medal and Best Summer Garden Award at RHS Tatton Flower Show
Planiteer Caroline Lord has recently snatched up both a Gold Medal and Best Summer Garden Award at the RHS Tatton Flower Show.
The garden ‘Industrial Transitions’ was inspired by Manchester’s prominence during the Industrial Revolution and its modern transformation.
A reclaimed diesel tank and corten steel rill formed a contemporary water feature, representative of the factories and canals of Manchester, whilst the city’s rail connections and docks were expressed in the form of the pathway, grill and pond. Planting tones were warm to reflect the rustic tones of the steel.
