If you want to define the border of your garden then you can do that in a number of different ways. Either you have got a thing for recycling old stuff, or you like natural materials incorporated in the garden, there is a design option to suit every taste. Sometimes weeds can dull the beauty of your garden and for that you can find some wonderful string trimmers at Buyers Guide . So, let’s take a look at some awesome and creative garden edging ideas:
1. Create a Wonderful Contrast of Green and Gray by Putting Rocks to Edge Your Garden
Want to stay close to nature? Then you can go for creating a border of rocks in any size that you like.
2. Another Way to Create a Border with Rocks is in The Form of a Gabion
You can take the rock landscaping to the next level by enclosing them inside a gabion. This will add a complete different look to your garden.
3. Border Your Garden with Recycled Wine Bottles
You can easily find recycled wine bottles in any nearby flea market. And you can choose any color that you like for example these gardens are spiced up with green and blue bottles.
4. Create an Edge with Steel Cylinders and Plant Them With Succulents for Even More Beauty
Steel cylinders or pipes can give a unique look to your garden. If you leave the steel pipes in their original form without painting, they will develop a tarnish that will look even more amazing with the succulents planted inside them.
5. Give Your Garden a Rustic Look with Weathered Wood Sleepers
Wood and plants go hand in hand. And if you want your garden to have a rustic feel then you can edge it with weathered wood sleepers like these.
6. Build a Low Fence with Iron Bars to Create a Border of Your Garden
If you want the garden edge to be a bit architectural, then you can build a ground hugging iron bar fence.
7. An Easiest and Budget-Friendly Way to Install Garden Edging is with Bricks
Now comes the option we see almost everywhere and that is bricks. No doubt it looks spectacular.
8. Build a Garden Border with Planted Cinder Blocks
You can also be a bit creative and make an edge with cinder blocks that are planted too.
9. Make a Garden Edge with Rows of Terracotta Pots
You might have seen and done a border of filled terracotta planters placed in a row. But how about this? Isn’t it cool and out of the ordinary?
10. Recycle Your Old China Dishes and Bring Them into Use to Decorate your Garden
Do you possess a huge collection of vintage china dishes? If yes then why not bring it to limelight and let it steal the show in your garden like this?


Golden King Port Orford Cedar - The Guardian® Series
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Golden King'
A robust new evergreen Conifer with bright gold-tipped foliage on broad, cascading branches. Grown on Guardian® root stock, an exceptional under-stock developed by Oregon State University which is resistant to Phytophthora lateralis, a disease that has caused the demise of many Chamaecyparis lawsonianas. We use this rootstock on several varieties: 'Blue Surprise', 'Silberstar', 'Silver Queen' and 'Yvonne'. Young rounded form becomes pyramidal with age. Use as a specimen, or mass to create an informal screen or windbreak.

Instead of a regular old swimming pool, how’d you like to have a large natural pool that looks like a pond, complete with plant and animal life?
You get to enjoy that lovely bond with nature as if you were out in a jungle somewhere, when you’re actually in your very own back yard (and you don’t have to worry about what dangers lurk beneath).
I’ve seen a lot of posts and shows lately about people getting companies to transform pools into gorgeous ponds like these, but here you can learn how to make this natural transformation yourself… and save a lot of money doing so.
DIY Swimming Pond Video:
Video by David's Natural Swimming Pools.
Apart from the breathtaking visual impact and the serene sense of nature, this type of pool has a lot of other benefits:
- A pool in 2 parts: the deeper swimming zone, and the shallower surrounding plant zone
- No chlorine or other chemicals in the water – the plants and animals filter and oxygenate the water naturally, thus keeping it clean and clear
- A solar-powered circulation system (this should also keep the mosquitoes at bay)
- An animal-friendly pool filter built from scrap materials
The brainchild behind this project, David Butler, has a DVD for sale on Amazon: Natural Swimming Pools: A Guide to Designing & Building Your Own. This guide will take you through the steps so that you, too, can enjoy such a marvelous natural swimming experience.
If you like the idea but need it on a much, much smaller scale, then go for this stunning pond garden feature that’s actually made from old tires.

Bamboo groves look good in any garden or landscaped area, especially for people looking for an exotic appeal. Many home owners plant bamboo in their yard or garden only to regret doing so later. Chances are, the bamboo plants have spread so rapidly in your garden or yard that they have taken over the whole place. You probably dream of eliminating the whole bamboo grove. Much to your disappointment, bamboo groves are hard to eliminate.
In truth, the bamboo plant is among the most difficult plants to get rid of in your garden or yard. Much to your chagrin, bamboo groves are non-responsive to the methods you have tried. For example, if you try to mow down the bamboo groves in your yard, they will just come back to haunt you later.
You need to know more about bamboo to be able to fight it better. The first thing you need to know are the two major types of bamboo: running bamboo and clumping bamboo. Running bamboo is so-called for its rhizomes that quickly spread out to create a full growth of bamboo in a short span of time. Between the two types, running bamboo is more-hated as it spreads quite rapidly. However, it is also effective in creating a wall that can act as a shield around your house. Clumping bamboo, on the other hand, stays together in tighter clumps than running bamboo does. Clumping bamboo also grows slower than running bamboo. Both types, however, are equally hard to eliminate, since both have equal ability to rapidly spread. Bamboo has rhizomes that spread out in all directions, even to the point that they crack purposely-contracted barriers.
Bamboo may be hard to eliminate, but this task is not without hope. Below are some of the ways you can get rid of bamboo groves.
Containment and Starvation
If you have large groves of bamboo in your backyard or garden, the best way to kill them is to starve them. First, dig a depth of about 16 inches below the surface of the soil that has bamboo growth; then, create a trench around this area of growth, and make the trench at least 30 inches deep.
Fill the trench with concrete or gravel to contain the remaining bamboo rhizomes underneath the soil’s surface. You can then cover the whole area with black plastic or cardboard. The cover will keep the sun from reaching the surface of the soil, which will starve off the bamboo rhizomes. After you have killed all the bamboo rhizomes, you can plant grass or other types of plants on the soil’s surface. In case you just want to contain the bamboo grove, you can follow the method explained next.
Box Them Out
The best way to control the growth of bamboo in your garden or yard is to construct a barrier that will block it from spreading throughout your property. The barrier can be made of plastic, or much better, metal, and should be buried at a depth of two feet.
The best way to bury the barrier is by angling it outward and upward so the rhizomes that come in contact with it will be pushed to the surface of the soil. Make sure that the barrier is sturdy and the seams are properly secured to prevent rhizomes from getting out of the cracks. It is best to regularly check the barrier for cracks and breaks that can lead to further bamboo growth in your lawn or garden.
Herbicides Can Do the Trick
Herbicides can help you eliminate the growth of bamboo in your backyard or garden; however, they are not as effective as the other two methods already described. Bamboo cannot be easily killed by herbicides, although some formulations that contain glyphosate can do the trick.
To kill a bamboo grove using herbicides, you need to prepare a few things. Aside from herbicides, prepare a pair of shears and a hose or brush. Use the shears to cut the bamboo shoots to a height of six inches, then immediately hose or brush the shoots with herbicides. Make sure to do this as soon as possible, as bamboo sap retreats quickly back to the leftover rhizomes. Letting the sap soak up the herbicide will be more effective.
If you spray herbicides on the bamboo grove without cutting the shoots first, you are in for a major disappointment. Spraying herbicides on a healthy bamboo grove will only kill the shoots but not the roots, from which a new growth of bamboo could develop. Refrain from saving time and effort by rushing the use of herbicides to kill bamboo, for you will only end up spending more time and money fighting them.
Cook the Bamboo to Death
Another way to eliminate bamboo shoots is to cook them to death. The best time to carry out this method is during hot seasons because the heat will literally cook the bamboo shoots. To do this, cut down the bamboo shoots to a height of not more than a few inches from the ground.
Spread a generous amount of high nitrogen fertilizer over the entire bamboo grove. Make sure that the layer is thick enough to completely cover the cut down shoots. After you have covered the entire area with fertilizer, cover it with a transparent plastic sheet. Completely secure the edges of the plastic sheet with bricks, or push them down the ground.
After a few days, the bamboo shoots will be cooked up by too much heat and nitrogen and a lack of oxygen. Remove the plastic sheet after a few weeks, or after all the bamboo shoots have been extinguished. Do not forget to dig up the cooked bamboo shoots to prevent surviving rhizomes from creating new bamboo growth.
Eliminating bamboo shoots from your garden or yard takes time, effort, and money, so be sure to follow the methods correctly. If you give your best and follow the methods correctly, your efforts will be greatly rewarded. A clean backyard or garden, free from signs of unwanted bamboo, is your best reward.

Teaching their audience how to express “inner harmony as outer beauty,” landscape architect Martin Mosko and writer and photographer Alxe Noden ’81 delivered a joint lecture yesterday in PepsiCo Auditorium based on their recent book, “Landscape as Spirit: Creating a Contemplative Garden.” This year’s Class of 1938 Lecture, the talk focused on the way in which beauty can be created by building a garden from a contemplative mind.
Mosko, a Zen monk, emphasized the importance of meditation and balance in creating a garden, viewing the garden as an object of this contemplation.
Comparing an ideal garden to the Tibetan Mandala, a perfectly balanced geometric design of a circle containing a square with four entrances and exits, he said, “A garden is a realization of wholeness. A sustainable garden does not divorce itself from the universe.”
While designing his gardens, Mosko looks to maintain a sense of balance with five natural elements or “energies”: earth, water, fire, air and space. To Mosko, earth is represented by rocks and soil, which provide strength and support, while defining the garden’s structural boundaries. Water in the garden provides movement, sound, refreshment and brightness, while fire is expressed by plants. Using the metaphor of the body, Mosko said that air is the “neurological system of the garden,” for its ability to allow the elements to flow through it.
Lastly, Mosko stressed the necessity of spatial energy in his gardens to create meaning by the shape of the earth and pause between forms, with volumetric depth and luminosity. Seeking to arrange these natural elements according to proper physical, energetic and metaphysical relationships, Mosko said that, “all of the energies must be balanced like a symphony.”
Noden said that although many of the gardens which Mosko has designed differ in style, they all have a unifying element to them.
“When I see one of Martin’s gardens, from the Rockies to Los Angeles, to South Carolina, to upstate New York, they all have this element of magic in them,” she said.
Mosko draws much of his inspiration for his gardens from his upbringing in the Rockies, as well as his study with Japanese master designers. Mosko showcased an Eastern influence on his life by playing the shakuhachi, a Japanese bamboo flute, for the audience at the beginning of the lecture to promote tranquility.
Mosko said that he feels blessed to be in a profession that invokes every human sense. Gardens, he said, “occupy the eyes with delight, the ears with the sound of pines in the wind, the nose with fragrance and the texture all around you.”
They are also a metaphor for our lives, Mosko said, and people must not forget the “power and responsibility” that gardens have.
Michelle Colban ’08, who attended the lecture for a Horticulture 480 class, said that the talk, “combined a lot of the elements that I wouldn’t think were in a garden.” She continued, “It also got me thinking how fascinating the world of nature can be.”
While most of his projects have been for private individuals, Mosko said that he would like to move into the public arena as well, such as completing gardens for nursing homes and community centers.
After studying painting and Sandskrit at Yale, Mosko founded the Boulder, Colo.-based landscape architecture and design firm Marpa & Associates in 1974. Noden joined the firm in 1991, after graduating from Cornell and Boston University Law School.

Best Outdoor Eats Around 30 Dalton
Summer in Boston is the perfect time to be outside. The city has an extensive list of outdoor dining, where guests can take to the patios...READ MORE
Hiking season has officially begun! As the days get longer, spring is the perfect time to get out on the trails.
Our beautiful city has it all. From famous historic sites to literary legends, Boston has plenty of options for outdoor activities!
Some quick tips before you go exploring:
This one has some history.
Over a century ago, landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted created a green belt that connected downtown Boston to the suburbs. Today, the 1,000 acres stretches across six different parks: from the Boston Common to Franklin. Strollers can embark on a 2.5 mile round-trip (from Public Garden to Commonwealth Avenue) or venture on the 1.6 mile commute (from Fenway community gardens to the Rose Garden). Be sure to check out a popular side trail that encircles the scenic Jamaica Pond.
Fun fact: Olmsted celebrated his 200th birthday this month. The park is decorated to honor the father of modern landscape architecture for “Olmsted’s Bicentennial”.
Great Blue Hill
The Blue Hills Reservation stretches across 7,000 acres in Norfolk County, covering 125 miles of trails spread over six counties. The highest of the 22 Blue Hills is the 635-foot that peaks at the summit of the Great Blue Hill. Mounting the crew rewards climbers with a majestic view of the entire Boston metropolitan area. Natural habitats consist of meadows, swamps, and high and lowland forest. Trails lead past Native American remnants, early farm structures, old quarries, and the Atlantic white cedar bog.
For the bibliophile, Walden Pond is the mecca of nature memoirs. The inspiration to transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau’s book of the same name, Walden Pond connects visitors to natures, just like in the mid-1800’s text. Enjoy swimming, boating, and visiting a replica of the author’s single-room cabin. The scenic wooded trail stretches 1.7 miles through a thick, wooded path; shaded in case the sun gets too blistering.
There are so many different places to hike in and around Boston. Where will you trek next?

Yucca filamentosa ( Adam's Needle) is considered hardy in all but the coldest areas.
These long lived evergreen shrubs/small trees with long strap shaped leaves, will grow to around 750mm high with a 1 metre spread.
They bear 50-70mm long bell shaped flowers in July/August at the end of plume shaped panicles, which can extend to 2 metres high.
They should be planted out in a sunny spot in suitable weather between October and March in any garden soil.
Remove and replant rooted suckers in March/April, pot them up, and grow on for a couple of years until established, then plant them out into a permanent sunny spot.

No matter how well you take care of your flower bed it seems like weeds always seem to come in and take over. There are many different methods of keeping your landscape, and garden, free of these nasty weeds. If you follow this guideline you can create, over time, an effected weed control program that will reduce the growth of unwanted plants.
When you originally planted your flower bed in the spring you probably noticed an influx in weeds. This is due to the fact that the now fertile soil conditions are optimal for weed seeds to grow under the surface. In order to create a good weed control program, you need to initially use precautionary measures. Before you begin to plant your seeds it is vital that you clear out the soil. This should happen two weeks prior to your planting date. This allows the weed seeds to germinate and you can get rid of all of them prior to planting; this can be done by raking.
It is vital that you not rake too deep. This allows the dormant weed seeds that are deep in the soil to germinate as well. This preventative measure helps stop the growth of weed before they are allowed to grow large enough to become an unsightly problem. Another important step is to not disturb your flower bed soil too much. This is important because it, like raking can prevent those inactive weeds from germinating.
A second weed control method is mulching. Once your flower bed has been planted, you can apply organic mulch in between flowers. When mulching, make sure the soil is completely covered and that the mulch does not touch your flower stems. Organic mulch has many useful qualities beyond weed control: it helps keep an optimum soil temperature, and lessens the soil’s water requirement.
If you want your weed control regime to be effective, you must be attentive to your garden/flowerbed and monitor the growth of new weeds. A watchful eye will let you see when a weed is emerging. You can then remove the weeds (by the root) immediately. Using a stirrup hoe or a circle hoe can be especially helpful when picking out these weeds.
No matter how much you do to prevent it some weeds will still appear in your flower bed. For these nasty perennial weeds you can use treatments like herbicide. Just follow the instructions on you herbicide bottle and your weeds will be gone in no time. If your flower bed is crowed use a shield (like a trash can lid) to protect your flowers. When you are purchasing your herbicide, make sure to verify that the herbicide works on the weeds that are in your particular flower bed.
The flower bed weed control methods can be effective if you keep a watchful eye and are vigilant in your efforts. If you do this your flower bed can flourish this season!

We pop back occasionally though, and it does seem like the majority of the principles are being upheld!”

When it comes down to it, you can design your garden however your heart desires; there are no laws and no one will come checking. But, there are some basic principles that can help lay the foundation for creating an aesthetically pleasing space that reflects your personal style and preferences. To the first-time gardener, trying to design your garden may seem a bit overwhelming, but by taking these core elements into consideration, you will have a strong starting point from which your creativity can flow.
The first order of business is deciding on an overall style—what type of garden do you want? Do you want a formal or informal space? Once you have this figured out, you have a strong foundation for your design. Factors to take into account include the overall space, the style of your home and your personality. While you do not need to strictly adhere to your vision with every single element of your garden, you do want to avoid a mish-mash of unrelated elements.
Scale is important for creating a visually pleasing garden—if the different elements of your garden are drastically out of proportion with one another, you will have a disjointed look. Most gardeners tend to throw off scale by going too small—beds and paths that are too narrow for example. If you are not sure, always err on the side of bigger, bolder and more generous.
Focal points are important in garden design; you do not want someone to take in your garden in one sweeping look. You want to create specific points that catch the eye and then lead to a closer exploration of the surrounding area. Well-placed focal points guide the eyes and allow the viewer to slowly discover the different elements of the garden. Good examples of focal points include a water feature, particularly large plants or statues and figurines, such as those found in a fairy garden.
When choosing the plants for your garden, it is important to choose a variety of textures; if all your plants generally look the same, your garden can just appear as one giant mass of plant s. By combining plants with different textures—soft leaves versus coarse leaves, glossy leaves versus suede-like leaves, fat leaves versus needle-like leaves—next to each other, you create a sense of contrast that highlights the individual attributes of each plant and everything stands out a bit more.

When it comes to combining color, the possibilities are endless, but there are some general principles that can guide you in choosing your palette. You can get technical and consult the color wheel to find visually appealing combinations or rely more on your own eyes and emotions, or perhaps a combination of both. Certain colors are more vibrant and jump out at you, such as orange, red and yellow, while other colors are more subdued, such as green, blue and violet. Generally, you want to have a combination of the two to create balance.

Maybe you’re opting to forego a traditional vacation this summer, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice spending time in an outdoor oasis. In fact, with stylish, cost-effective low voltage outdoor lighting, you don’t have to limit your leisure time to a few days out of the year—every time you step into your yard can be an amazing vacation from the ordinary.
For anyone seeking a way to transform an outdoor space, low voltage lighting is an ideal solution. Often, in an attempt to create a luxurious outdoor space, people will spend a great deal of money on expensive patio furnishings, but one of the best and most cost-effective methods to add long-lasting ambiance to any outdoor area is through the use of lighting.
Create Innovative Lighting Solutions
If you’re just beginning to explore the possibilities that can be realized with the addition of low voltage outdoor lighting, a consultation with a company such as Outdoor Lighting Perspectives can give you an idea of how to make your space not only functional, but also visually stunning
Designing An Effective Outdoor Lighting Plan
Just a few well-placed lights can make all the difference in the appearance of a patio, deck or other outdoor space. The best course of action when adding lighting outdoors is to clearly define all objectives prior to the start of the project. Many lighting projects can be performed by the handy do-it-yourselfer, as a weekend project.
If you don’t have time or resources required to light your entire yard, instead focus on one specific area. It can be most beneficial to light those areas closest to your home, because this is the centralized area where the majority of activity will be taking place.
Choosing Outdoor Lighting Fixtures
When selecting outdoor lighting fixtures the best course of action is buy the highest quality products that you’re able to afford within your budget. This will reduce the risk that you will have to replace the lights within a short period of time. Visiting the website of a lighting company is a great way to start the research process and learn about different lighting options, such as photocells, timers and energy efficient outdoor LED lighting options.

It is one of these days I never forget. Sunday morning walking through the Schönbrunn Palace gardens in springtime. The Palace and the gardens were inspired with baroque notions and represent at one of the most impressive ensambles in Europe. It is a mastery of architecture. So strolling through the beautiful avenues you get a lot of inspirations.


In the past centuries, in the park adjacent to Villa Arconati of Bollate, there was a long dramatic avenue of horse chestnut trees (Aesculus hippocastanum), located at the end of the exedra plan of the French parterre, right in front of the southern part of the structure. This tree-lined pathway leads to the gate that links the park of the Villa to the adjacent forest. Here, the predominant tree species are deciduous, typical of the primeval forests of the Po valley, such as the hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), oak (Quercus robur), beech (Fagus selvatica) and chestnut (Castanea sativa). The last probably originated from Central Europe and Asia Minor, and can already be considered an indigenous plant of Italy. In fact, the Romans spread them over the Alps and the northern Apennines and then to other parts of Europe.


CHAENOMELES JAPONICA SARGENTII
A good form of the Japanese flowering quince displaying masses of salmon pink to orange coloured flowers in spring, followed by small green turning to yellow rounded fruits. Low growing spreading habit to about 1.5 metres tall. Easy to grow given reasonable soil and sun.
Available in economy and premium selection

A groundbreaking new project, launched today in Glasgow, aims to turn Glasgow City Region ‘green’ with 500 miles of walking and cycling routes and plans for hundreds of new living spaces for wildlife, providing a tangible response to biodiversity loss and climate change.
The Glasgow and Clyde Valley (GCV) Green Network Partnership’s Blueprint project will help make the region a more attractive place to live, work, invest and play through creation of both a habitat network for wildlife and an access network for people through greenspaces.
It will link up existing wildlife habitats creating new pathways to allow species more freedom of movement, and encouraging an increase in biodiversity across the area helping to address and reverse the damage done to the natural habitats of wildlife by decades of urban development, strengthen them in the face of a changing climate, and provide new opportunities for people to connect with nature.
This issue has never been more urgent, as highlighted in the latest UN global assessment report where over 1 million species on the planet are at risk of extinction and for the first time, the issue of biodiversity loss is on the G8 agenda.
The Blueprint will improve walking and cycling routes across the Glasgow City Region.
The Glasgow & Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership has today published its much anticipated Report into the quality of Green Infrastructure (GI) policies across the Central Scotland Green Network region.
The Report is welcomed as a baseline from which discussions on how comprehensive and robust GI policy can be achieved by those who have an interest in seeing good, well maintained multi-functional GI integrated into new housing developments across Central Scotland.
Launching the Report, Max Hislop, Programme Manager for the GCV Green Network Partnership, said “The Green Infrastructure policy review is a crucial step in understanding the current policy environment, what's working well and what lessons can be learned. It provides opportunities for strengthening planning policy and making Green Infrastructure benefits more widely implemented through development".
More than 10 years ago the Green Network concept was conceived in our region by some visionary strategic planners who were considering the essential components of an economically successful Glasgow City Region. They recognised that a key component of that success was a high quality environment in the form of connected multi-functional greenspace - a ‘Green Network’.
Plans for the park were given a major boost in the summer following the announcement that it was successful in a £4.5 million funding application to the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Since then plans for the creation of Scotland’s largest urban heritage and nature park have taken a bold leap forward with the Glasgow & Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership, who developed and championed the project, handing over the reins to the Seven Lochs Partnership.
To celebrate, a special screening of the film ‘Seven Lochs – Scotland’s Urban Wildlife Park’ was shown. The film revealed plans for the park include creation of 4 Visitor Gateways at Hogganfield Loch, Provan Hall, Drumpellier Country Park and Glenboig Life Centre.

The delicate, bright green leaflets of Maidenhair Ferns flutter gently in the breeze. The play of sunlight and shadows on their thin, translucent foliage creates a magical effect in the landscape. The pinnae are arranged horizontally in a fan-shape or like the outstretched fingers of a hand, quite unique among our native ferns! Though this plant appears graceful and delicate, it is fairly easy to grow in the right conditions. It prefers even moisture, never drying out lest it go dormant until adequate moisture returns. The shallow, wiry rhizomes will spread and knit together to form a dense groundcover in damp, dappled shade. Maidenhair Ferns grow well in Northern exposures, on wet cliffs, in sheltered valleys, and in deep shady sites.
The light, airy texture of Maidenhair Ferns look striking with bold-textured woodland plants. Over time, they can naturalize in a moist woodland garden and provide a finely textured backdrop to wildflowers. They may also be used singly as an accent or shady border planting, spreading much slower in less favorable conditions.
