Oriental Shrubby Willow comes in 10"-12" cuttings. This is a very tall, elegant willow probably originating from China. It has vivid green to red rods which look stunning in winter. The rods are glossy and smooth with attractive red bud scales standing out against the acid green of the stems.
It is a male clone and produces lots of long fat silver-pink catkins in Spring followed by narrow leaves. Great in flower arrangements and good for the Bees.
This willow is one of our favourites for creating a tall hedge or windbreak because it looks stunning at all times of the year, it also grows vigorously and quickly forms a thicket with wonderful winter colour. The colours and its flexibility make it useful for living structures as well. Although not really a basketry willow the lovely red side shoots are fantastic in Christmas decorations!


British Land Lends a Hand
Westminster based charity Vital Regeneration partnered up with British Land to give the Lisson Green Estate in Westminster a fabulous makeover.
A group of British Land staff volunteered their time with the charity to revamp a shared garden within a sheltered housing project for elderly Westminster residents.
Alice Boswell from British Land said: ‘We all had the most fantastic day. It was a great opportunity for us to get out of the office and do something different, with the added advantage of working for the residents at Lisson Green. We hope that the plants take (at least there is no need for watering!) and that we will be back to see them soon.’
Lisson Green is a social housing estate in the heart of Church Street Ward, one of the most disadvantaged areas in Westminster.
Despite the wet weather the volunteers grafted all morning to transform the dull garden into a vibrant, clean and refreshing area for the residents to spend their summer afternoons.
The new garden was carefully designed by Landscape Architect, Marcus Barnett, who kindly donated his time and expertise at no cost. His design intent was to make the new garden aesthetically pleasing, cost effective and manageable for the elderly residents to look after.
The volunteers from British Land helped to plant a series of carefully selected perennial plants which were carefully planted in hanging baskets, purpose built raised flower beds and planters.
They pulled out all the stops to help make sure the 12 cubic metres of soil were utilised, previous concrete planters were moved and replanted and the whole garden area was swept of moss and debris.
By the end of the day the team effort had made the whole garden a much more pleasurable place for residents to spend their time in.
Emma Rembalski, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Vital Regeneration said: “We are so pleased with how the day went. It was great to work with British Land on such an important local project. The residents were absolutely delighted with their new garden. They are now just waiting patiently for the British Summer to arrive so that they can really make the most of it”.

Plans are almost complete for updating the northern end of Landsborough Avenue, Scarborough (north of Brisbane) between Bunton and Rock Streets.
The final round of consultation took place last month.
Community consultation for the upgrade took place in March and the revised Option 3 has been proposed by the council planning team.
Two options for the design were combined as the Revised Option 3 and presented at a final consultation last month.
Council said the revised upgrade proposal had taken the ideas and needs of residents, business owners and operators into consideration.
Moreton Bay Regional Council Division 5 Councillor James Houghton said maximising parking was the most contentious issue for the community.
Most discussed were the options of “reverse in” or “nose in”, he said.
The “nose in” option should win the day, he said, based on the consultation process and the existing parking arrangements in Landsborough Avenue.
Councillor Houghton explained parking needed to be consistent with the rest of street which is either “nose in” or “nose to tail”.
Other key features of the upgrade will be new central median strips and landscaping with low coastal planting and walk-through gaps.
A new pathway from the corner of the Pirate playground and park across to the carpark and toilets, including a raised pedestrian crossing, will be incorporated into the upgrade.
Old concrete planters and uneven paving will be removed and replaced with exposed aggregate and coloured concrete finishes to match work previously undertaken on the southern end of Landsborough Avenue.
The Translink bus stop will be moved further south to allow for the extended parking.
Other improvements include new street furniture, lighting and upgrading wayfinding signs.
The upgrade will be delivered in two stages during the 2018/19 and 2019/20 financial years to minimise the disruption to local traffic.
Foreshore path and carpark upgrades will be delivered mid-next year to avoid Christmas and wet weather.
The Moreton Bay Council is planning to complete the design work for the upgrade by the end of 2018.

The Rose Sharp Rose Garden, located northwest of the Doris W. Neustadt Wing of the William Bennett Bizzell Memorial Library, is named in honor of the former University of Oklahoma first lady. The garden has seven varieties of roses, including Mrs. Sharp’s personal favorite, Tropicana. Mrs. Sharp equated her lifelong love of roses with universities: Roses are really like universities. They both need a good, solid foundation to reach their full potential. Then they need tender, loving care. They need to be fed, to be nurtured and to be cultivated. They will thrive with creativity and experimentation. Sometimes both need to be pruned-very carefully. You must know when, where and how much pruning to do. Finally they need protection. It is important to take action as soon as you notice a blemish or any other sign of damage. You must not allow the damage to spread and destroy the vitality of either the rose or the university. If all these steps are followed, both roses and universities will produce a dazzling display of beauty.
The Peggy V. Helmerich Garden, located between Adams Hall and William Bennett Bizzell Memorial Library provides the university family and visitors with a excellent display of flowers. In the center of the garden is the sculptor Allan Houser’s bronze work “Homeward Bound.” The Peggy V. Helmerich Garden was permanently endowed by her family.
As the university expanded southward some campus areas occasionally were bypassed and temporarily forgotten. Such was the case for the area known informally as Burr Park. Named for OU Vice President for Development David Burr, the park consisted of two acres just south of the Huston Huffman Physical Fitness Center, adjacent to Asp Avenue, and across the street from Walker Tower. It remained undeveloped until 1996, when David and Molly Boren recommended that it be formally designated as David Burr Park and landscaped appropriately. The Borens contributed an Amish lattice gazebo that forms a centerpiece around which OU landscapers have incorporated lilies, roses, cone flowers, daisies, crepe myrtle, hydrangea, juniper, holly, forsythia, spirea, and twenty-one varieties of trees. This park fulfills a role similar to the landscaping of Hester and Robertson Halls in 1939 in that it beautifies and adds to the attractiveness of student resident halls.

Saint Paul on the Mississippi River
From Saint Paul’s origins, all the way through the early twentieth century, the Mississippi River served as the city’s main source of economic development. In its earliest days, Saint Paul citizens valued the river not just for transportation and commerce but for its scenic beauty and recreational offerings. Renowned landscape architect Horace Cleveland told city leaders in 1885, “The day is not distant when the thickly wooded banks, the deep and dark ravines, the rugged and precipitous rocks, and the picturesque cascades which form the shores of the majestic river will be regarded as your choicest possessions for the unique character they will confer upon the city. No money could purchase what nature has here provided; leave them as they are, such as creation’s dawn beheld.”
However, as Saint Paul became more industrialized, the River gave way to neglect. By 1919, industrial waste and untreated sewage polluted the river. Scrap yards were built at the river’s edge, rail lines restricted access to the water and riverside neighborhoods were demolished in response to flooding and to make way for industrial yards. Decades of disregard resulted in a river bereft of wildlife and with few allies.

Stir a little outdoor magic by designing a courtyard garden. These secluded spaces create a cozy ambience perfect for Sunday brunch, curling up with a book or catching a few z’s on a comfy lounge chair. A courtyard garden embodies a sense of separation from the world otuside. The result is a secret garden that often becomes everyone’s favorite spot.
Include furniture in your courtyard garden to provide a comfy place to enjoy the atmosphere. Because a courtyard lacks a ceiling, it often seems larger than it is, which can easily lead you to choose furnishings that overpower the space. Some courtyards are large enough to hold a dining table and chairs; others can fit only a bistro set. The smallest courtyards may work best with just a bench.

ECOFACT is currently assisting Limerick City & County Council with the design, planning and environmental assessment the Limerick Smarter Travel project. We recently completed a Natura Impact Statement and Ecological Impact Assessment for a revised design for Route 2 of the proposed scheme, which will be submitted shortly to An Bord Pleanála. This planned development will run along the River Shannon and will consist of a shared walkway and cycle lane, and will allow commuters to commute from the City Centre to the University of Limerick, along the Park Canal and River Shannon.
Some of the surveys we completed to inform the Appropriate Assessment process included a habitat survey, non-native invasive species survey, and otter survey. During the assessments we identified areas of the priority EU Annex I habitat ‘alluvial forest with Alnus glutinosa and Fraxinus excelsior (Alno-padnion, Alnion incanae, Salicion albae) (91E0). The proposed combined cycleway and pedestrian walkway will carefully avoid the areas where this protected habitat occurs, and a range of other construction and operational phase mitigation measures have been included in the revised design to ensure that significant impacts on the Lower River Shannon candidate Special Area of Conservation are avoided.
ECOFACT have also been involved in other element of the Limerick Smarter Travel Project, including the Canal Refurbishment Main Contract and Rhebogue Neighbourhood Greenway. We are the largest independent environmental and ecological consultancy in Limerick City, and work throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland. If you have requirement for an ecological impact assessment or Natura Impact Statement, please do not hesitate to contact us at +353 61 419477 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.org.

Uncomplicated Systems: When it comes time for you to select your backyard lighting system, you should be careful to select lighting fixtures that are easy to install. You don’t want systems that have complicated electrical cables and connections as you want to compliment your landscape and not have to reinvent everything to do so. Automated Timers: A good idea is to choose an outdoor lighting system that has an automated timer integrated into them. This way the timers regulate the duration and periods that the lights will be on and off, which makes it easier and convenient. You can even get solar powered lighting systems, which will absorb energy from the sun during the day so that they illuminate at night for your safety and enjoyment. This will also save you money on utilities. Plan Your System: Be sure to plan out your backyard lighting system. There are so many systems to choose from and unique fixtures you can add to your décor, you should make a plan for your backyard lighting so you don’t overspend or get fixtures that don’t fit well with your decorating scheme.
A properly landscaped backyard can create an atmosphere that will have your family outside in the backyard more than inside the house. Having a place to sit back and relax is important. If you have a beautiful backyard and no place to sit, you cannot enjoy your backyard to the maximum potential. Determine what type of seating would complement your house, style and backyard. Patio furniture sets are a good place to start looking for ideas. Keep in mind the different types of materials used. This may later help you decide what other features to place in your backyard.
The approach we’ll use is very simple. We’ll create our backyard resort by combining exotic looking tropical plants with well-adapted plants that either look tropical or look good in a tropical setting. The trick is to learn what plants and how to combine them to create that exotic, tropical look. We’re going to use a simple layering approach. At a high level, here’s what to do: create a solid foundation, create the tropical landscape effect, and add the finishing touches.
Backyard Party Ideas: There are so many different types of backyard parties, most of which would include different outdoor games. Whether your backyard is small or huge, there are activities and ideas available. During nice weather, it is so easy to conceptualize an outdoor party. A barbecue party is the most common idea in western countries. This is already being adopted in countries all around the world. Aside from the fact that it is not too strenuous, everybody can have fun while cooking their own barbecue.
A backyard can mean different things to different people. For the congenial host, a backyard means a great place to gather friends and family on warm summer nights. For the avid gardener, a backyard means a great place to grow prized zucchini and the biggest pumpkins in five city blocks. For the kids, a backyard means a great place to play games of soccer or catch miller moths. For the dog, a backyard means a great place to spend some time after a large meal. No matter what a backyard means to you, chances are you want it to mean something and, chances are, you want it to stand out. If you are nodding your head in agreement, and want your backyard to house a superior deck or a creative garden, then keep reading: this (rose) bud’s for you:

Ilex rotunda, the Kurogane holly or round leaf holly, is a smooth evergreen tree from the holly genus, reaching 18 m at maturity (although 20 m is also reported). It has spineless leaves and clusters of bright-red berries.
The tree blossoms in April and the seeds become ripe from October to December. The flowers are dioecious. The fruits contain flavonols. In Japan, kurogane holly is one of the hibakujumoku trees. It is also the official tree of several Japanese municipalities.


Created during the Ming Dynasty by Pan Yun Duan, then finance minister of Sichuan, Yu Garden has survived the rise and fall of dynasties. It is now a key relic site protected by the state.
Spreading over 5 acres, the garden displays the magnificence of Ming architecture with later Qing Dynasty influences.
The intricate design and façade of the towers are complemented by the garden’s lake. Special lighting combines modernity and tradition, and the site is transformed when the sun sets.
Next to Yu Garden is one of Shanghai’s unique bazaars, where visitors can enjoy local delicacies while shopping for souvenirs. Nearby is Yuyuan Old Street, known as the centre of trade in pre-modern China, as well as the ancient Cheng Huang Temple.


North Somerset Council has won a major, industrial award after being shortlisted in the annual Street Design awards 2019 for their exceptional work on the Italian Gardens in Weston-super-Mare.
The Street Design Awards recognise innovation and best practice in street design schemes across the UK and are organised by Local Government News. North Somerset Council was the overall winner of the Street Design category for the Italian Gardens.
The Italian Gardens redesign, undertaken in 2017, was awarded a £2.48million grant by the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership, through the Local Growth Fund, and was part of the town centre regeneration programme.
Councillor Mike Bell, Deputy Leader at North Somerset Council, said: “This award recognises the hard work put in by a dedicated team to transform the Italian Gardens. I’m delighted this accolade helps raise the profile of Weston town centre as a focal point for events and activities. I look forward to the council completing further improvements to the area as part of our ambitious regeneration programme.”
Prof Steve West, Chair of the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership, said: “It’s terrific to see the transformation of Weston-super-Mare’s Italian Gardens receiving national recognition and winning this award. We’re proud to have supported this fantastic enhancement to the town centre; creating an attractive and vibrant open space which should encourage even more people to live, work or pay a visit to Weston-super-Mare and support the local economy.”
Laura Sharman, Editor of Local Government News, said: “I am delighted to present this to North Somerset Council as winner of the Street Design Awards. We decided to re-launch this award following popular demand from councils that want to celebrate best practice. Despite managing massive budget cuts, it’s fantastic to see that councils are still delivering spaces for everyone to enjoy such as successful schemes like this.”
The regeneration of Weston-super-Mare has seen over £75m invested into the town centre over the last ten years, creating a vibrant and diverse town focused around living, learning and lifestyle. The council will continue to deliver improvements to key development sites, positively encourage investment and attract more people to live in the town centre, creating an improved local economy that is also sensitive and supportive of our vibrant heritage.

Inlays, Borders and Banding make this Dreamy Frontyard Patio a Hub for Entertaining in Brewster, NY
The combination of this immaculate patio design and picturesque view forms a truly idyllic outdoor setting. The patio features exclusively Unilock products and provides a space to enjoy the luxurious surroundings and hilly skyline. Authorized Unilock Contractor, Lehigh Lawns and Landscaping, lent their expertise to the design and construction of this stunning project.
The elevation of this patio places it as a vantage point, making use of the topography’s natural downward slope to open out the view. While the creation of the platform rising from the sloping lawn required some minor feats of engineering, this was possibly the largest challenge encountered during the construction process. Once the solid base was set, Unilock’s easy to place, precision cut products contributed to the smooth and successful completion of the project. The result is as durable and functional as it is visually exquisite.
Contributing to the unique aesthetic of this outdoor space is the use of a combination of products in achieving an intricate and effective inlay design. The design itself squares off the seating area, marking it out as a space for leisure. Beneath the carefully selected outdoor furniture, the effect is similar to that of a living room rug in enclosing and decorating the space.
The main floor of the patio consists of Unilock’s Umbriano pavers, with the Autumn Sunset color variation contributing a warm personality and the subtly mottled texture of its randomly dispersed granite particles. The inlay consists of three bands with Il Campo in Heritage Brown forming the outer and inner bands and Brussels Block pavers in the Sandstone color running between them. In the centre, the design resolves itself by returning once again to Umbriano in Autumn Sunset with the laying pattern running at a 45 degree angle for variation. This motif repeats itself in the patio’s borders with Il Campo Heritage Brown and Brussels Block Sandstone being used to finish of the edges. This corresponds similarly with the vertical structures, featuring Brussels Dimensional System wall blocks for the main body and an Il Campo Heritage Brown inlay.
While the comfortable modern wicker furniture provides adequate seating for a medium-sized group, the low walls can double as seating when larger groups are being entertained. The corner pillars, also featuring the Il Campo inlay motif, support vintage-style iron lanterns for evening lighting.
The patio furniture was especially selected to mirror the gentle curves, square angles and colors of the patio. This small detail is a good indication of the amount of thought that went into the conception and execution of this design. Note, for example, how the chair’s armrest reflects the curve of the outer wall, and how its color corresponds to that of Il Campo’s Heritage Brown. The darker brown/black of the sofa’s body accents the iron lamps as well as other elements of the home’s architecture, showing that no element or color used in this design was not first carefully thought out.

Created by Denver artist Dan Bahn, this original abstract mosaic water feature will bring your yard to life. The Sundance modern fountain is the perfect balance of colorful porcelain and glass tile beautifully crafted and set by hand. Each tile board offers a one-of-kind water feature every time.
The fountain measures 18”w x 62”h and sit above the ground.

Small Brick Front Entry Garden
This small entry courtyard gets in main character from the curved brick walkway. The client had requested us to completely cover the entire area with brick. We came up with this instead.
This design was quite easy to create. First, we addressed the access routes to the street and carport.
A single walkway to the street would have been sufficient and would probably appear very nice with its own character. However, the secondary bed in front does make a difference in tieing the whole thing together.

Some residents would be thrilled if police could just control crime and gang activity around Buford Highway, but Brookhaven has bigger ideas. According to a plan presented to city council earlier this month, the city would like to turn its part of the six-lane, vegetation-devoid highway into a lovely pedestrian-friendly boulevard chock full o' bike lanes, trees, multi-use paths, mixed-use developments and new businesses. The grand vision is outlined in a report prepared by the Jaeger Company and Urban Partners and is expected to be adopted starting next month. In addition to the physical changes, the plan proposes that the Brookhaven portion of the street be renamed Buford Boulevard to really drive home those improvements and ditch the negative connotations of "Buford Highway."
Along with landscape architecture and livability improvements, the extensive plan also calls for redevelopment of vacant, poorly maintained properties; underdeveloped creekside parcels; aging apartment complexes and overly large parking areas. A market analysis of the area suggested additions such as a prominent hotel with conference facilities, mixed-use developments, trailside luxury apartments, ample affordable housing, townhome developments, luxury condos with skyline views (to replace the Red Roof Inn at the corner of Buford and North Druid Hills) and office space.
To complete the plan, Brookhaven would need to set up a Tax Allocation District, which is expected to see a vote in November. Grants and funds from the Atlanta Regional Commission could fill in the gaps.


The Wauseon Tree Commission was recognized as a Tree City USA for the 21st time. The Northwest Ohio awards was co-hosted by the City of Kenton, the Village of Mt. Victory and their commissions.
The awards were presented by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry. The Tree City USA title was bestowed upon Wauseon for its ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the quality of life through a comprehensive street tree management program. The Urban Forester recommends a community to the Arbor Day Foundation for this standing.
In order to achieve the title and honors, the community must meet or exceed the following standards:
The community having an active Tree Ordinance; an active Tree Commission; a comprehensive urban forestry program supported by a minimum of two dollars per capita and an annual Arbor Day proclamation and public observance.
The state of Ohio currently claims the most Tree City USA (244) of any other state in the country. This marks the 33rd year as Ohio being a top Tree City. In Northwest Ohio alone, there are 55 Tree City USA communities and Ohio Northern has earned the distinction of being a Tree Campus USA.


With all the love and care we put into our gardens, we absolutely deserve to show them off. But while it’s easy to have a garden on display during the day, nighttime only serves to cover our pretty flowers and pathways.
There is, however, a very aesthetic way to bring life to your garden and illuminate your beautiful plants. Garden lights make for additional decoration while lighting up an outdoor space. But how to choose them, and where do they go? Here’s a quick guide to choosing outdoor lighting fixtures for your garden.
Why Install Garden Lighting?
Outdoor garden lighting has different purposes depending on where you place your fixtures. These include:
- Security: outdoor lights discourage would-be intruders from targeting your home since they increase the risk of getting caught
- Safety: lights around paths, gates, and steps allow you to see where you’re going, preventing accidents
- Nighttime events: have dinner in the garden, or have a romantic picnic under the stars, under the lights of your outdoor fixtures
- Landscape lighting: incorporate lighting fixtures into your trees, shrubs, and groundcover to make the most of your foliage
The type of light you install will depend on the location and function. Survey your garden and decide where you want to install any outdoor lighting, and how you would like it to look. If you’re uncertain, feel free to consult a local gardening professional or landscape designer – you can even have your garden fixed up before decking it out!
Types of Garden Lights
There are several types of garden lights depending on form and function. You could stick to just one if you only need a specific type, or mix and match what you install for each garden area. Some examples of outdoor garden lights include:
1. Path Lights
These illuminate pathways, steps, and other walkways frequently traversed so people can see where they’re going at night. They can also add some dramatic ambience to your garden, especially if you have guests. There are several designs, such as downlights, bollards, flush lights, or stake lights.
2. Spotlights and Floodlights
If you want a large space lit up in one go, spotlights and floodlights are a good choice. Floodlights cover a much larger area, and are best positioned higher up. These are particularly effective for outdoor events, providing plenty of light no matter how late the time. There are also automated ones that turn on when motion-activated, as a security feature!
On the other hand, spotlights are good for highlighting specific sections of your garden, such as clusters of flowering shrubs or garden beds. Stake these in the ground and point them at the relevant plants to show off nature’s beautiful handiwork.
3. Wall Lights
Line your fence, patio, or climbing trellis to help illuminate the spaces around it and add some decoration. Just make sure the fixtures are securely mounted, and keep your wall lights protected from the elements. Pick whatever design fits the look of your house best – you won’t lack options!
4. Deck Lights
These fixtures are good for softer lighting options, since they provide moderate illumination without being overly bright. You can install them around a deck, alongside stairs, or around a gazebo. There are several kinds, including ones that turn on automatically or change colour!
5. Ground Lights
Choose ground lights for a softer lighting option in garden beds or landscaped areas. These recessed lights offer mild illumination directed upwards, highlighting low plants or outdoor house features. Ground lights are best for those who want a subtle effect, since these sit mostly below the surface and can blend in with groundcover.
6. Hanging Lights
These are an aesthetic choice, meant to add ambience to an outdoor area. Also known as fairy lights, they can come in a number of shapes, such as small light bulbs or little stars. String them across an open space, or hang them up on a trellis to add some Instagram-worthy lighting to your garden and home.
Outdoor Lighting Power Sources
Generally, there are two ways to power an outdoor light – electric and solar. Each has its pros and cons, with different types of installation. Carefully weigh which option is best to light up your garden.
These are generally brighter due to their direct power source, and come with various automations such as motion sensors, timers, switches, and colour or brightness changes. There’s a wide variety of types available for many different lighting purposes.
They do need to be hard-wired, though, and they won’t function if your power gets cut. It’s best to get a professional to install these so they can hide any wires and make sure everything is connected properly.
The most popular choice for outdoor electric lights are 12V or low voltage lighting systems. There are two bulbs available:
1. Halogen Lights
The biggest advantage of halogen bulbs is their lower cost upfront, both for the bulbs themselves and their installation. They generally provide higher light intensity, and last longer than their incandescent counterparts. They heat up fairly easily, though, and will need to be regularly replaced; the average lifespan of a halogen bulb is around 2,000–5,000 hours.
2. LED Lights
LED garden lights have very long lifespans, stretching up to 40,000 hours. These are the most energy efficient outdoor lights, since they last long and use less power. In the long run, LED garden lights are lower maintenance, since LED bulbs need less frequent replacement and produce less heat. They cost more to install, however, which is something for homeowners to consider.
If you’ve ever wanted to take advantage of the burning Aussie sun, then solar powered lights are the way to go. These most often come in a setup with a single-cell panel that absorbs sunlight throughout the day, converting it into solar energy to power the lightbulb.
The biggest advantages of solar lights are the cost and ease of installation, and environmental impact. They’re frequently designed as ‘spike lights’ – meaning they have a stake that you drive into the soil, so installation is entirely wireless. Because of this, they’re easy to DIY. And since they take their energy from the sun, they don’t drive up electricity costs and have a much lower carbon footprint. They also won’t lose power if the electricity goes out.
On the other hand, their power source is unreliable – if it’s cloudy out, they won’t charge as efficiently. They’re also less bright than their electric counterparts, so they have limited purpose – mostly as path or decorative lighting. Larger solar lights will require solar panels, which can have prohibitive costs.
Factors for Choosing Garden Lights
Some things you should consider when choosing your outdoor lights include:
- Colour: White light is much more intense and bright, while warm white light is softer and offers a better accent.
- Location: Plan ahead so you know where to place any lights you need to install. Consider creating a lighting scheme so you’ll have pre-assigned placements for different types of garden lights, making installation easier.
- Position: Do you want these pointing towards plants? A water feature? Your garage or house? Consider where the direction of the light source will be, since it can cause glare or blind people while they pass your home. Space out lights so they’re not all concentrated on one focal point.
- Protection: Since these lights are outdoors, they’ll be exposed to the elements. Make sure they’re adequately shielded from rain and wind.
- Power sources: If you’re using 12V/electric bulbs, ensure any wiring is hidden and not where people or pets can trip over them. For solar powered lights, place them somewhere with plenty of sunlight.
- Accessories: Optional features like a motion sensor, light sensor, or aesthetic housing can provide extra functionality to your garden lights.
Light It Up!
Once you have this guide to garden lights, your lighting ideas, and a plan in place for illuminating your backyard, it’s time to get your lights and get creative. Just don’t go overboard and brighten up the entire space – with outdoor lighting, a little can go a long way!


The harebell is a delicate flower with a tough constitution. It thrives in any well-drained soil, even in full shade! The nodding bell-shaped flowers perfectly accommodate bumblebees, who (we imagine) are pretty excited to find something so enticing blooming at the end of the summer. Harebells have an affinity for slopes, and are a good bet for troublesome dry spots under trees and in retaining walls. Too much water makes them floppy and unruly, so don’t let them over-imbibe.

Lighting the garden can be very exciting, but you can get carried away and commit some mistakes made in your over enthusiasm. Lighting your garden is like an open canvas that is just waiting for you to express your artistic abilities.
Nevertheless, before you go about ordering garden lighting spend some time planning and visualizing what the garden will look like once it’s lighted up at night. The garden at night should look subtle, inviting, and definitely not bizarre. Therefore, it’s always better to look around and read up about garden lighting. One important factor to remember is that a bed of roses, which looks lovely during the day, may look horrible at night with the wrong garden lights.
You don’t have to search for garden lighting ideas in magazines, as there is plenty of useful information on garden lighting available for free on the internet. All you need to do is to control your enthusiasm and explore the sites. By spending the right time on research, you can end up with an exquisitely lit night garden. Avoid these mentioned common mistakes that most people make, and you will have no regrets.
The first mistake to avoid is using too much lighting. Don’t go placing a light on every bush, shrub, flower bed, and branches. Also, avoid using high-powered bulbs, as you are definitely not going to be playing a softball game at night in the garden. You cannot recreate daylight by over lighting the garden; therefore, avoid attempting it. The garden should look subtle and alluring with an aura of romance in it.

You surely want people to admire the garden at night, enjoy the mood, and walk away relaxed and embraced with the mood created by the lighting. Therefore, stick with a single theme.

Common hazel (Corylus avellana) is a big, deciduous shrub reaching at least 14 feet. It is found in natural stands throughout Europe and is also used widely in hedgerows. The twigs are used as dowsing rods by water diviners
The common hazel is a highly adaptable pioneer species, able to grow in both sun and part shade. I likes nutrient-rich soil. The tree is, however, extremely tolerant to different climatic conditions and is even able to withstand frost in the growing season.
Harvest nuts in about 2-3 years. You may either hand pick or lay a cloth under the tree and tap the limbs to make the nuts drop. Nets may be used to keep the squirrels away.
Trees can grow up to 20' but can be kept at 10-12' x 10-12' and should be planted no more than 15' apart for good pollination.

The Johnson County Park & Recreation District is currently in the
process of developing a new strategic plan for managing Johnson County’s
open space and recreational resources through the year 2030. The new plan
will replace MAP
2020, a master action plan approved by the Board of Park
and Recreation Commissioners in 2001.
A team of nationally acclaimed specialists headed by SWT Design of St. Louis was commissioned in 2014 to re-evaluate and update MAP 2020’s recommendations and implementation strategies. Joining SWT in the planning effort over the past year have been De Soto-based Indigo Design, VSR Design of Prairie Village, Ballard*King & Associates of Highlands Ranch, CO, and ETC Institute of Olathe.
SWT’s consulting team presented its preliminary recommendations at a Strategic Plan Open House in the Elmridge Room at Tomahawk Hills Golf Course on Tuesday, April 21. You can review a copy of the PowerPoint presentation the consultants used that evening to summarize their preliminary recommendations by clicking here.
The planning team will be finalizing its recommendations over the next several weeks, and the plan is scheduled to be presented to the Board of Park and Recreation Commissioners for approval this summer.
Current Park Master Plans
One of MAP 2020's recommendations in 2001 was the updating of master plans for each park in the county system. The proposed planning for Antioch Park was completed by Theis Doolittle Associates in April 2003, and a "3 Plans for 3 Parks" project was conducted by Landplan Engineering in 2003 for Ernie Miller Park, Heritage Park and Shawnee Mission Park. Patti Banks Associates then developed master plans for Thomas S. Stoll Memorial Park in 2005 and the Oakridge Farm site adjacent to Shawnee Mission Park in 2007. The master planning for Sunflower Nature Park and two future park sites - the Rieke Lake property and the Cedar-Niles property - was completed by Bowman Bowman Novick in 2008. A development plan for Camp Branch Glade was approved in 2014, and the park was developed and opened later that year.

Allison Platt & Associates designed and prepared construction documents for six blocks of downtown New Bern over about ten years. The City placed a high priority on streetscape improvements because major new investments were being made in the downtown by the private sector, but no major improvements had been made to the sidewalks in over fifty years. The design includes red brick banding surrounding fields of specially-designed hexagonal concrete pavers. The sidewalks are complemented by historic cast iron pedestrian lights and benches, new planters and trash receptacles. The trees chosen were Zelkovas, which are now about 12″ caliper. The new streetscape has resulted in full occupancy retail, many new upper floor residences, and several new buildings. Middle Street, the primary retail street of the downtown, was chosen by the American Planning Association as Great Places in America: Streets in 2010, New Bern’s 300th anniversary.
AWARDS: “Great Places in America: Streets”, 2010, American Planning Association.” & Great Main Streets”, NCAPA, 2015.
RESULTS: From 1990 to 2011, New Bern realized $160 million in public and private investment.
