No matter how small your front garden, with careful planning you can makes it both beautiful and useful. Even if you choose to cover part of it for parking, you can still make it look good.

The Town of Jonesborough was named a 2022 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor its commitment to effective urban forest management.
Four requirements are to be met in order to be considered for the honor: maintain a tree board or department, have a tree care ordinance, dedicate an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and host an Arbor Day observance and proclamation — all of which Jonesborough met.
“We are blessed to live in a beautiful historic area, but the trees that accent our town brighten and elevate that beauty,” said Jonesborough Mayor Chuck Vest. “Years ago, we decided to achieve Tree City USA and its rewarding when we continue to achieve that recognition.”
To be a Tree City USA recognized city is an honor that Vest prides in, especially since the honor focuses on making the world beyond Jonesborough better as well.
“Tree City USA communities see the positive effects of an urban forest firsthand,” said Dan Lambe, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “The trees being planted and cared for by Town of Jonesborough are ensuring that generations to come will enjoy a better quality of life. Additionally, participation in this program brings residents together and creates a sense of civic pride, whether it’s through volunteer engagement or public education.”
Vest added that now the town incorporates trees in most all the new developments.
“We have trees we have incorporated in Lincoln Park, and we’ve planted hundreds of trees on our new school site,” he said. “Trees are a very important part of our ecosystem.”
According to Lambe, if ever there was a time for trees, now is that time.
“Communities worldwide are facing issues with air quality, water resources, personal health and well-being, energy use and extreme heat and flooding,” he said. “The Town of Jonesborough is doing its part to address these challenges for residents both now and in the future.”
You can find more information on the program at arborday.org/TreeCityUSA.

The last month of the spring is cherished and awaited for many due to several reasons. May is rich in the color spectrum, loved for comfortable and warm temperature, short nights and long days, and blooming flowers, trees and plants. That combination awakens and inspires us for multiple outdoor activities, nature exploration, gardening, and other scenery related doings. Moreover, if you are in London at this moment or deciding where to travel next week, I would highly suggest coming to Chelsea, West London, for the next week May 21st – May 25th. I believe, it is one of the world’s beautiful places, indeed, to be at with the family, friends or/and alone. Chelsea is looking prettier than ever right now. Other than visiting the world’s leading horticultural event, the Chelsea Flower Show, you should definitely take time to tour Chelsea and its surrounding areas for more floral delights.
Formally known as the ‘Great Spring Show’or also known as Chelsea in Bloom held since 1912 for 5 days in May- it is a garden show that is produced by Cadogan in association with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), and sees breathtaking floral displays from retailers, restaurants and hotels throughout the duration of the Chelsea Flower Show. Today, it is definitely the most famous flower and landscape gardens show in the United States and, perhaps, in the world).
This year, the Chelsea Flower Show is in great demand! Mostly all tickets have been sold in advance. This is due to the gigantic preparation and involvement of Kate Middleton in garden design debut. Although, the world’s most prestigious flower show was always supported by the Royal family and Queen Elizabeth the II is the key guest of all the shows. This year the new offspring of the royal family as Duchess of Cambridge and co-designers’- landscape architects Andrée Davies and Adam White of Davies White will unveil their cooperation of highly-anticipated garden. The idea of the design was inspired by Duchess childhood memories and triggered by the natural world. The purpose of designing and building the garden was ‘to highlight how being active in nature can positively impact our physical and mental health. The garden has a natural woodland feel and contains lots of unique design features to inspire families to get outside and explore nature together. This, true and beautiful idea of unity with nature is highly supported by the UK population and I can just add that I have never seen so many people here before.
Highlights to the Chelsea Flower Show include the avant-garde show gardens designed by leading names with Floral Marquee at the centerpiece. The Show also features smaller gardens such as the Artisan and Urban Gardens. Nature is the key element and sustainability is the core value of any design. You can pick 3-5 or all the shows to see:

Thanks for reading me


We took the kids here and they did love it, a great place for kids to run around and there are birds,fish, butterflies and squirrels to keep them amused. The gardens are large and will take about two hours to go round. The overall condition is very good however it doesn`t blend as well in the natural habitat or show enough of the local nature. There are many different sections with gardens on japan, England and a scarecrow garden which all feel a bit out of place. Some of these have you walking away thinking that they were designed by Disney.

The Dr. Phillips area of Orlando, named for Dr. Phillip Phillips, a local citrus grower and innovator in the 1950s, has been called one of the best places to live in Florida by Money Magazine. Located on the edge of Universal Studios, the community boasts beautiful shopping malls, many restaurants, and upscale residential communities. When nationally acclaimed Greystar™ developers chose the Dr. Phillips location for its new Overture 55+ active adult apartment homes, the company sought to build “beautifully crafted residences and resort-inspired amenities” reflecting the charm of the community with easy access to all it offers.
Landscape architect Architectural Alliance was chosen to design hardscapes to complement the modern, contemporary theme envisioned for the property. This included the pool, welcoming front entranceway and signage, gates and fine furnishings within those areas, as well as a dog park.
“It was unique for us,” says Brian Euell, RLA, project director for Architectural Alliance. “The customer wanted a seamless look with not a lot of joint spacing.” Additionally, at the front entrance, Architectural Alliance wanted to create a unique pattern that they haven’t used before, and which would be different from the way other developments in the area looked.
In choosing materials for the project, Architectural Alliance considered porcelain paving in the lounge area and for the amenity deck, but they weren’t very economical. They instead chose Belgard’s Moduline Combo 4×12 & 4×16 and Holland ground face pavers because they provided elegance while being more economical.
“We like to use cool grays and whites together because they lend a clean, modern look to amenities such as cabanas, outdoor and lounge furniture,” says Euell. “Belgard Commercial had a lot of colors and patterns we could design with, so we chose Pewter, Gray, Charcoal and White, and decided to alternate the colors end-to-end. The colors also worked well with the pool tile selection.”
Around the pool, the Belgard pavers’ traditional ground face, where the top of the paver is ground to expose natural aggregates –typically pieces of white – adds design interest. They also used a Black Beauty paver with black sand added that becomes exposed when ground as well. At the front entrance, they went with a “u” shape with alternating color bands of gray, white and charcoal. Moduline Combo 4×12 and 4×16 were used in the front entrance, at 4” thick to withstand vehicle traffic.
Olympic Pavers, which does residential paver and pool deck jobs, as well as commercial and multi-family projects, installed the pavers by hand, paying careful attention to the color-pattern design Euell and his team created. “Belgard’s color blends and product lines are very easy to use and just beautiful when it all comes together,” says Courtney Blair, operations manager for Olympic Pavers.
Overture – Dr. Phillips was completed in 2019 and offers one- and two-bedroom apartments and amenities that include a dog park, movie theater, outdoor entertainment lounge, sun deck and outside terrace, grilling station and fire pits and more.
“We’re very happy with how it turned out and it’s been well received by residents. We’ve had many good comments from them. In fact, we’re doing the same pattern on another project for Greystar,” says Euell.


City of Edinburgh Council
AJ Architecture Awards 2021, Masterplanning - Winner
Edinburgh Architecture Association Awards 2021 - Best Masterplanning - Winner
Collective Architecture is working on the ambitious revitalisation of Meadowbank, turning it into one of Edinburgh’s greenest neighbourhoods.
The masterplan which has just received planning, includes around 600 homes, as well as commercial and community spaces, on a 5ha of space beside a new sports centre, which is replacing the historic stadium structure.
Designed in response to views shared by local residents, our client was
keen to see more quality greenspace, places for play and
better-connected walking and cycle routes brought to the area.
Following planning approval, the circa £100m project is expected to become the first development of its size in Edinburgh to promote the Council’s net zero carbon by 2030 goals by creating a low-car, low-carbon community and energy efficient new homes.
The sustainable mixed-use development will also create jobs and a significant economic boost by regenerating a five-hectare area next to the new Meadowbank Sports Centre - which is already set to become one of the greenest and most accessible centres for community sport in the country when it opens next year.
Space for a new GP surgery and community and commercial uses, the protection of existing trees and planting of saplings plus new rain gardens also feature in landscaping designs, which aim to pay tribute to the area’s sporting and industrial heritage.
With support from Nature Scot and the Scottish Government, the Masterplan has been awarded Building with Nature accreditation, setting the standard for high-quality low carbon features, and the Council has undertaken studies on the option for ‘green roofs’. The designs have also been endorsed by Sustrans’ Places for Everyone scheme, which brings specialised active travel knowledge to the project.

Published at Saturday, 21 September 2019. Backyard. By Aurore Aucoin.
When creating a backyard environment, you should take some time to think about what type of wildlife you would like in your backyard, up close and personal. Being petrified of snakes and then creating an environment that snakes find irresistible would be a torturous mistake. This example emphasizes the importance of considering what type of animals you want frequenting your backyard. Specific plant life and bodies of water attract certain kinds of animals, bugs, and insects. Hence, in your backyard environment, you can plant greenery and create man-made bodies of water to entertain the type of wildlife you are comfortable with.
A backyard can be your spot for peace and a fun location to play to with the kids after a long and heavy day at work. No matter what you use your backyard for; there are dozens of landscaping ideas to choose from when it comes to making it your personal favorite space. There are many creative ideas anyone can conclude when planning your backyard. For example, if you are looking for something to bring about your backyard pop out and mull over your personality, then go for it! If you are looking for a fun and wild location to spend time with friends and family in, then what about a chief setting in your backyard?
Now that you know the choices that are out there for backyard fireplaces, as well as the pros and cons, its time to start choosing what you would like and imagine how it will fit in your outdoor living space. Make sure that it fits well into the space available as well as into the scheme of the landscaping. One last thing you might want to think about is if you want to cook on it or just enjoy the fire. Once you have decided all of this, as well as what you want it to look like, you are ready to go shopping and start enjoying your evenings in your backyard even more.

The garden of this 5 star resort in Spain is designed to create an Asian environment in a Mediterranean climate region. Over 200 different species of plants and trees have been planted, 80% of which are Asian in origin.
Our collection of rare trees includes Pinus Pentafila (a Bonsai almost 200 years old brought from Japan), Chorisia Speciosa (commonly known as Drunk Stick) and Yuccas Elephantipes (Elephant Foot) with a trunk perimeter of over a metre and a half. The hotel has other extraordinary tree species such as Lemia Indica (Jupiter Tree), Cercis Siliquastrum (Love Tree), Albizia Julibrissin (Constantinople Acacia), Strelitzia Augusta (White Bird of Paradise) and Phytolacca Dioica (Ombu or Bellasombra). In addition to all these fascinating species there is also a variety of fruit trees such as the Myrobalan plum tree (Prunus Cerasifera) and Orange and Pomegranate trees. These are complemented by the magnificent collection of Bamboos (Phyllostachys): over 40 different varieties with black, yellow or green spotted canes, bambusas more than 9 metres tall and dwarf bamboos. The hotel garden is also home to an impressive variety of palm trees, with over 50 different species including Kentia Palms (Howea Fosteriana), large groups of Areca Palms (Dypsis lutescens) and numerous Queen Palms (Arecastrum Romanzoffianum). Another outstanding specimen is the huge Carob tree (Ceratonia Silicua), over 200 years old. Although this is not an Asian tree, it is of particular value as when the hotel's construction began the tree was practically dead, but two years after opening it has totally recovered and is now a specimen of great beauty.
To round off the Asian garden more than 150,000 shrubs have been planted, providing a huge variety of colour throughout the year, and many distinct aromas in the different areas of the garden. All this makes a visit to the garden resemble a trip to the Asian continent, and guests discover new surprises each time they visit this little piece of Asia in a Mediterranean setting.
- Over 20,000 seasonal flowers are grown in the Hotel Asia Gardens hothouse, including Red Begonia in the summer months and yellow Pansies in winter.
The hotel has over 10,000 m² of lawn, which absorbs some 900 kg of CO2 per year, providing sufficient oxygen for 170 people per day.
- 100% of watering is done with recycled water.
- The tropical plant Alpinia Variegata, of Thai origin and widely used in Thai cuisine, has adapted perfectly to the area's Mediterranean climate.

St John’s Park Healthcare Centre Redevelopment
New Town, Tasmania
The St John’s Park Healthcare Centre Redevelopment was initiated by the St John’s Park Precinct Draft Masterplan by the Department of Health. This masterplan aims to transform St John’s Park in New Town into a contemporary Health and Wellbeing Precinct, with BPSM Architects engaged to deliver a portion of the masterplan with a redesign of a 3-storey (plus basement) building for the DoH.
BPSM, in partnership with healthcare architecture specialists, Architectus, are currently redesigning the original plans, with changes to materials from the original design. Construction documentation has begun on some areas. The new facility will deliver a total of 27 beds and associated patient and staff amenities and administrative areas.
“A consideration to the therapeutic journey of service users and their carers has been the key design influence, from first arrival at the site, transition from external spaces to the interior of the building and through to the waiting spaces, consulting and therapy rooms with the use of significant views assisting in orientation, wayfinding and providing moments of pause and positive distraction.”
The landscape design will be largely of a domestic or ‘homely’ aesthetic, with materials and plant species selected for their familiarity to the consumer group, textural finishes and loose, ephemeral plantings with seasonal variation will be preferred, as well as variation between different landscape spaces to create visual diversity throughout the facility. Spaces will be designed in such a way as to offer respite and solace for individuals while creating flexibility for group activities. The landscape will also address the architectural language, and support and enhance the functional program within the building, such as at meals or breakout spaces.
Construction is planned to commence mid-2024.

Here’s some of the things I state: “I’m truly eagerly anticipating meeting you on -day, prior to you go, one of the things I was hoping you might have a think of before we meet is how much you’re thinking you ‘d like to buy this task.””I’m not exactly sure if you have actually currently believed about this and I do not require a response from you now, since I know this is a truly uncomfortable topic to discuss, but it will really help me to make sure you get the very best value for cash if I have some concept of the spending plan we’ll be working within.””To provide you an idea, my clients usually come back to me with a figure variety to the nearby $5k, so for example $45-50thousand.
The last thing I desire you to experience is a bunch of concealed surprises. We like to get things right from the start. If you might have a consider that, it would be an excellent help. If you’re unsure where to start, I’ll bring some examples of previous projects and we can talk more about it in individual.””Oh, and if you could bring some images or hard copies of the sorts of things you’ve seen prior to that you truly like, that would be really valuable too.

I had a fabulous day at the Chelsea Flower Show yesterday and was delighted to find out today that Cleve West had not only won a gold medal, but the garden had been awarded ‘best in Show’. This is all the more impressive because the standards were so high, with some real quality show gardens on offer.
I am full of admiration for ayone who exhibits a show garden at Chelsea, it’s a complex process, with many hurdles to leap …. and takes lots of energy.
So what exactly does make a real quality show garden, what are those special ingredients that make one shine above the others?
A great design is usually a perfect mix of these ingredients:
- creative talent,
- a concise vision of what you want to achieve,
- a clear idea of how you’re going to do that,
- attention to detail is important too, all the small touches reinforce the whole picture,
- keep it simple and try not to incorporate too many elements, it’s so tempting to try too hard and include all your good ideas, but you have to be disciplined,
- getting to know you’re clients so the final garden is tailored to them,
- finally, the design must be well executed, so that all the time and effort spent on the design isn’t compromised.
This is probably true for any design, not only gardens.
I was asked on twitter yesterday which garden would get the top prize, and after a bit of thought decided to stick my head above the parapet and predict that Cleve would win Best in Show.
I loved the strong structure of topiary and hedges combined with the soft planting, with just the right amount of colour …. very restrained.
There was a gorgeous focal point at the end of the garden, read here about why focal points are good to have in a garden
This is what I mean about attention to detail:
Michael Caine, Janet Street-Porter and Clive Swift talking to Cleve in his garden.
When all these ingredients are combined together, they’re somehow more than the some of their parts, and create that extra special design.
I enjoy refining and developing the initial ideas (it’s often the most interesting part) whilst keeping the overall vision in mind, to make the design the best it can be.
It’s really thrilling to see any form of great design. I really believe that having well designed things around you, especially as part of your home, can add so much to your life, don’t you agree?

Using stones to landscape your property can really make it stand out as well as protect it. There are many types of beautifully colored stones that come in many different shapes, sizes and textures to fit any of your needs.
Stones add a texture and a contrast to your yard. They are durable and do not require very much or any maintenance. You can choose from crushed gravel, river rock, or cobble stone. They also come in many different shapes and colors. Whichever floats your boat!
Retain Moisture in Soil
Having stones in your garden will maintain moisture in the soil. It will even retain the moistness around the plants so you will not have to water as much
Stop Weeds from Growing
Having the proper base and depth of stones will also prevent bald spots and weeds from growing. I mean, who likes weeds? I remember when I was a kid my parents would make me pull weeds and I hated it. It's hard work and back breaking. Who needs that?!?!
Stones will allow for needed drainage around plants. Water will not build up around the roots and will allow for air to get in so the plants can breathe. the water can cut off the air supply to the microorganisms that live in healthy soil. It can cause root rot or other diseases.

Cedar is a softwood like pine but is tougher and more resistant overall, able to withstand the outdoor elements without requiring treatment. Cedar is often used when people want a beautiful and long-lasting fence, while pine is used for those who prefer something more affordable.
Is cedar in the pine family?
The Pinaceae, pine family, are conifer trees or shrubs, including many of the well-known conifers of commercial importance such as cedars, firs, hemlocks, larches, pines and spruces.
Can you use pine instead of cedar?
Pine does not naturally resist decay, and it is pressure treated to make it more durable outdoors. Pine is still a good choice for outdoor furniture, it just doesn’ t naturally resist the elements as strongly as cedar does. Pressure-treated pine will last a long time and resist the outdoor elements.
What is stronger cedar or pine?
The Janka scale ranks all wood for hardness, with a higher number correlating with a harder wood. The rating for white pine, one of the most common varieties, is 420. Yellow pine earns an 870, while cedar comes in at an even 900.
Are Cedars evergreens?
All cedars are large, coniferous, evergreen trees. Because of their size, these trees are not often found in gardens and are usually seen lining streets or in parks.
How do you identify cedar?
How to Identify Cedar Trees. Cedars are evergreen trees that can be identified by their needles, cones and bark. Cedars have bluish-green needles, growing in groups along woody branches. Another identification feature of true cedar trees is their large, barrel-like cones that grow upward on branches rather than dangle.
Can pine be used outdoors?
Structural Treated pine is for external above ground structural use. Each piece of structural timber is treated for borers, termites and is able to be subjected to moderate wetting in a well ventilated area for up to 20 years.
How long will pine wood last outside?
Redwood, Pine and Cedar Untreated redwood, depending on it’s age, has a projected life span of 50 years or more when exposed to the elements. Pine varieties have a projected life span of only 5 to 10 years.
What is pine wood good for?
Pine wood is widely used in high valued carpentry items such as furniture, window frames, paneling, floors, and roofing. They are also commercially grown and harvested for Christmas trees. Pine resin can be used to make a lamp while out camping. It is very flammable and can be used as a fire starter.
How can you tell if wood is cedar or pine?
The first difference between cedar and pine can be seen with the naked eye. Cedar is immediately recognizable due to its reddish color, white accents, and beautiful grain pattern. It is a warm and rich-looking wood. Pine, meanwhile, tends to be much lighter in color, ranging from cream to very light brown.
Is cedar wood waterproof?
Due to its chemical properties, cedar is naturally weather-resistant and repels most bugs. But over the years it can crack slightly and develop a fuzzy surface texture unless it’s periodically refinished. Cedar accepts sealers and stains beautifully and should be refinished every two to three years.
What wood is similar to cedar?
Like cedar, redwood is used mostly for outdoor projects because of its resistance to moisture. Redwood (California redwood) is fairly soft and has a straight grain. As its name suggests, it has a reddish tint to it. Redwood is easy to work with, is relatively soft (2 on a scale of 1 to 4), and is moderately priced.
Is Cedar a pine tree?
Cedar pine is an attractive pine with an open crown. The species is also known as spruce pine because of the texture of the bark of a mature tree. Young trees have grayish bark, but over time they develop rounded ridges and scales like spruce trees, turning a deep shade of reddish brown.
Is pine an evergreen tree?
Evergreen species There are many different kinds of evergreen plants, both trees and shrubs. Evergreens include: Most species of conifers (e.g., pine, hemlock, blue spruce, and red cedar), but not all (e.g., larch) Live oak, holly, and “ancient” gymnosperms such as cycads.
What kind of tree is pine?

Constitution Gardens is a living legacy to the founding of the republic as well as an oasis in the midst of a city landscape. The 50 acres of the park were originally beneath the Potomac River. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredging project at the turn of century created the land that became Potomac Park.
Beginning in World War I, the navy maintained "temporary" office buildings on this site. Nicknamed "Tempos," these structures remained until the 1970s. President Richard M. Nixon, shocked that the buildings he had served in as a naval officer were still marring the landscape when he entered the White House, began lobbying for their removal. When the Navy finally withdrew from the buildings, they were demolished in 1971. President Nixon ordered that a park be built on the land, leading to the creation of Constitution Gardens.
The Gardens were dedicated in May of 1976 as a living legacy American Revolution Bicentennial tribute. In July of 1982, the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence Memorial was dedicated on the small island in the lake.


First glance of Queensway regeneration plans
Published Friday, 18th October 2019
Initial concepts of how the Better Queensway regeneration could take shape will be exhibited at locations around the borough for the public to view from next week.
The exhibition is being organised and led by Porters Place Southend-on-Sea LLP (the LLP), the joint venture between Swan Housing and Southend-on-Sea Borough Council that has been set up to deliver the Queensway regeneration.
The exhibitions will show an initial proposal of how the site could be developed and ask for views on a variety of topics, including how the regeneration can best meet the needs of the community, what improvements could be made to streets and public spaces, and what high quality housing means to local people.
Feedback from this first stage of consultation, which will run until 18th November, will allow the LLP to develop the design ahead of second round of public consultation in early 2020 before the submission of a planning application.
Geoff Pearce, Chair of the Porters Place Southend-on-Sea LLP Board and Executive Director of Regeneration and Development at Swan Housing, says: “Better Queensway will see approximately £500million of investment into one of the most deprived areas of Southend-on-Sea and the transformation of the area to make way for vastly improved housing and a significant number of new homes.
“It will also see the creation of new parks and gardens, new public squares, and an improved Queensway improving the estates connectivity to central Southend. We look forward to meeting the local community during this initial stage of consultation which will help shape designs for the regeneration.”
Cllr Ian Gilbert, Leader of Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, says: “This project will genuinely transform this area of central Southend. It will have both significant social and economic benefits and it is vital that we deliver this project for the benefit of the local and wider community.
“I am pleased to see the LLP carry out a number of public exhibitions and consultation with local people as the plans progress.
“This is a massive project for Southend-on-Sea and with a project of this size, there will inevitably be elements of the initial plans that provoke debate and different views and it is therefore really important that people attend the initial consultation events and have their say as the LLP progress their design and proposals towards a planning application.”
John Synnuck, Chief Executive for Swan Housing, said: “Swan have been taking on complex regenerations just like Better Queensway for the last 25 years and so we are delighted to be working to bring about the long-awaited regeneration of Queensway.
“As part of Porters Place Southend-on-Sea LLP, we want to work with local people to transform Queensway from an isolated and aging estate into a thriving community right in the centre of Southend-on-Sea.
“I therefore want to urge local people to engage with this first consultation period to help us draw up the proposals for the site ready for further consultation in the New Year and then the submission of a planning application.”
The exhibition dates, times and venues are as follows:
- Wednesday 23 October - All Saints Church hall: 3pm to 8pm
- Saturday 26 October - The Forum: 10am to 2pm
- Monday 28 October - Twenty One Western Esplanade: 8am to 1pm
- Wednesday 30 October - Cliffs Pavilion: 12pm to 5pm
A non-staffed exhibition will also be available to view in the Civic Centre during office hours, and a project website will also be launched next week.

By Lucero Chavana. Outdoor Lighting. Published at Thursday, August 22nd, 2019 - 18:36:46 PM.
Remember too that by adding exterior lighting to your garden at night you’re not trying to emulate the beauty and colours of the garden as they appear in daylight. Instead, you’re attempting to bring into focus a ’different’ garden. By this we mean there will be far more contrasts and a mix of both shadowed silhouettes and highlighted features. In this way, your garden becomes more of a mysterious place at night.
Incidentally, to get what lighting experts refer to as a ’moonlighting’ effect, hang the lights around 30 ft high and just above the lower branches of a tree. This way the light will filter down through the leaves on the lower branches, creating a pattern of light and shadows.
Have a flat vertical surface in your garden or other outdoor area? This can be more than just a visual feature – it can be the perfect place to install lighting. You’ll discover a host of different styles out there, from hanging lanterns that mount to the wall to disc shaped lights, squares, swivel lights, spotlights and more. Many of these use LED bulbs for longer life and lower power consumption, but you can also find halogen bulbs if you prefer something more conventional.
Patio lighting ensures that you have plenty of illumination in your outdoor seating and dining area. Whether you’re relaxing with your preferred libation after a long day at the office or hosting a garden party, you’ll definitely need light once the sun sets.

June is the best month to visit the rose garden. If you walk down from the Orange Park, not far from the Circus Maximus, you will find the rose garden. It has 2 sections. The most beautiful one is with the tea roses. It is a real enchantment. They come in every color and shape imaginable: yellow, red, orange, white, pink, even blue! Climbing roses, dwarf roses, bush roses… You can go smell them, but don’t touch! The flowers will wither faster if you do.

Knight Architects triumphs in Drammen contest

The firm has linked up with local practice SAAHA for the bridge which will be used by both cars and pedestrians.
Local firm Degree of Freedom is engineer on the scheme along with another Norwegian firm, landscape designer Asplan Viak.
The bridge crosses the river Drammenselva and is expected to cost more than £50m to build. Work is set to be completed by 2025.


The Association was today named as winner of the ‘Small Grants’ category for their ‘River Oaks Pond’ project. Competing against other Small Grants awardees from across the UK, they received £2,000 in prize money, which they can use to further develop their project. The remarkable volunteer-led improvement and restoration project impressed the independent Biffa Award judge and saw them edge ahead of their competitors.
Administered by the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, Biffa Award awards grants to environmental and community projects, using landfill tax credits donated by Biffa Group Ltd. Each year, the people transforming their communities and improving the environment through Biffa Award projects are recognised at the Biffa Awards ceremony. This year more than 260 completed projects competed to win a prize in one of five categories – Community Buildings, Recreation, Small Grants, Cultural Facilities and Rebuilding Biodiversity.
The River Oaks Residents Association received a small grant of £1,902 in funding from Biffa Award to restore a previously stagnant, smelly and algae ridden pond, along with its grass and border boundaries to improve its use as a community recreation facility. Following the project, the pond has become a focal point for the community and had encouraged better community cohesion.
This year’s Awards were held today at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. The theme for the Awards was ‘creating positive change’ and sought to celebrate the people behind the projects that are helping to build and rebuild their local communities in these difficult economic times.
Gillian French, Biffa Award Programme Manager, said:
“The Biffa Awards are a unique opportunity to celebrate and reward the dedicated people who are delivering some of the excellent projects we have funded. All of our projects deserve recognition for the work they do, but we are delighted for the River Oaks Residents Association on their success at this year’s Awards. The project to restore the pond and surrounding area has led to the space being used as a focal point for community celebrations and events, and a greater sense of community spirit.”
The Biffa Awards are accredited by the RSA Environment Awards Accreditation Scheme: www.rsaaccreditation.org


You know that gardens need lots of care, so that they appear in order. To be beautiful to see must be not only well cared for, but also set up with policy. The time you must devote to organize and then plan the green space is really hard.
And you can’t undo. Especially if you decide to set up a nice green lawn, into English. Some want to use the seeds. They can be purchased at nurseries or agricultural cooperatives. Be calculating how much seed it takes based on the surface in square meters that you intend to cover.
Prepares then the bottom, leveling the ground as much as possible. It cleans any weeds and stones. This is a challenging and even difficult, especially if the area to be put in place is vast and badly reduced. But it must be done very carefully.
This is a non-trivial work. And not everyone is able to do so. Some simply do not have the patience. Not to mention the skills. You could risk wasting time, effort and money. And eventually realize that the seeds scattered haven’t panned out well.
Then why not choose a simpler way? There is the system of grass and sod. With this you can achieve a perfect green carpet in no time and without much thought.
Especially without much hassle. The lawn will be spread through the rolls of grass. You can do it yourself if the space to be covered is not vast. Otherwise it is recommended that you contact a company.
After a couple of days since I put the rolls, the roots will begin to take root in the underlying substrate. Even here, however, the soil must be properly prepared. Otherwise the sod doesn’t take root and they will dry within a short time.
You have to level the area and remove all weeds. Once done this, you can put a layer of land fertilized. The rolls must be laid the same day, or the next, in which they were purchased.
So it’s good to find them when you are sure that the ground is ready. Leave the rolls closed for more than two days, can damage them and make them dry out some parts.
Most periods indicated for this operation are the mildest ones, namely in the late autumn and early spring. The lawn can be trampled. You can put your chairs or armchairs and enjoy the outdoors.

This was a very demanding job which will ultimately produce a wonderful area for wildlife – particularly for the Chalk Hill Blue and Adonis Blue butterfly which were once seen here. We are all working towards this by sowing Horseshoe Vetch and Kidney Vetch plus other plants that will encourage them.

Quote from Beautiful Garden Edging Options to Improve Your Landscape :
Metal garden edging tends to be slightly invisible. Steel edging is the most common choice which can be purchased from larger garden centers or landscape suppliers. The transportation can be rather troublesome, considering how heavy steel edging can be. This option can also rust eventually. On the other hand, consider installing aluminum edging for your garden instead. It is lighter and stiffer, and will not rust. Just like steel, aluminum edging is also available in a wide array of colors. Make sure you have stakes included with your purchase.
