The Asia-Pacific region – the contemporary challenge
Although its philosophical and practical roots lie in the traditions of garden-making and rural life, landscape architecture is a profession born as a response to the challenges presented by modernity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – particularly those associated with large-scale urbanization, when land became landscape. Its central task lies in reconciling these very different phenomena, a task unavoidably one of struggle. That struggle arises because the modernization and its accompanying mass urbanizaton are processes characterized by an all-pervading scientific and economic determinism, by rapid change and by the constant flow of ideas in an unbounded public domain. These are the very antithesis of the processes associated with tradition, especially garden and rural traditions, which are by contrast essentially associated with retreat, continuity, quietness and reflection.
Across the world, this struggle has provided the birthplace of the profession of landscape architecture, which, at its most effective, reframes those traditions within the modern domain, recasting them to challenge the hegemony posed by these determinisms and the form of development that results. What, then, is professional effectiveness in landscape architecture in this modern world and how is it defined? This paper addresses that question. It asks the profession of landscape architecture in the Asia-Pacific region, now the focus of the largest scale landscape transformation ever experienced globally, not only to acknowledge that modernization is central to its existence and to its task, but to consider what it needs to do as a profession to be effective in this context.
Such acknowledgment, it is argued, brings with it responsibilities that transcend the individual practitioner and the individual site. It brings the responsibility to pursue a professional ethos of what I term “active transformation” and create, on the professional, societal and landscape scale, transformational projects – not only transforming land, but transforming practice and, most importantly, using the public domain to transform minds. That is what it means to be effective as a profession and it fundamentally differs from the effectiveness associated with arts or crafts such as traditional garden-making and rural life.
The transformational project
The achievements and position of landscape architecture globally amongst the array of professions associated with modernization and urbanization – engineering, architecture, planning and urban design – are salutary. Everywhere, landscape architects are busy professionals, responding to the very real technical challenges that come with large-scale urban and landscape transformation. At the project scale they argue for consideration of social and environmental factors as part of the development process and negotiate through complex day-to-day realities. They aim to create meaningful places from what their professional colleagues and the development industry typically see merely as space and living landscapes from what is often seen simply as land. Their professional focus lies generally at the project scale, transforming sites and in some instances transforming the minds of their professional colleagues and users about what can be achieved if the urbanization process is conceptualized differently.
Occasionally their work is transformative beyond the scale of the immediate site. That work, I argue, is what is needed to lift the profession into its rightful place, transforming the modernization process itself in the way that heroic historic figures of the profession such as Frederick Law Olmsted, Ian McHarg and Lawrence Halprin have. Each, I argue, employed what I term the transformational project.
While Olmsted, for example, is typically remembered for the way his major projects transformed sites, it was his way of working and the way they were positioned in the discourse of modernization and urbanization that made those projects transformational. McHarg, too, transformed sites, but again it was the power of his professional methodology, his writings, his radio programs and his discourse that made his work transformative. For Halprin transformational power was realized by his sites and by his books, writings and workshops. Like McHarg, Halprin’s capacity to work across professional and decision-making domains as a thinker influenced the way in which the challenges associated with modernization were thought about.
All three not only changed land into landscapes and space into place. Each in his own way also changed minds, transforming the way that the entire development process was conceptualized across their regions. All went on to achieve global influence, not just because of their projects on the ground, but because both changing minds and changing places were equally important to them as professionals. They were the landscape architectural heroes of their culture and time, professional citizens because they took responsibility to act and argue for the public good, in the broader public realm.
As the focus of global modernization and urbanization in this century, the Asia-Pacific region needs its own professional heroes and citizenry. I challenge all of you to recognize what is needed to create the conditions for them to flourish here. They are integral to the development of the profession and the region and they demonstrate professionalism in its truest sense, not only because they produce great projects but because they actively engage with the contemporary world – by professing.
This paper explores selected contemporary work by landscape architectural and urban design colleagues in Australia and argues that this work is transformational not only because of its physical reality, but more importantly because of its socio-cultural reality. That socio-cultural reality and therefore transformational power is the result of professional work of a particular kind that focuses on the highly contested realm of ideas in the public domain, where contemporary culture is largely shaped by discourse between decision makers, professionals and communities. The two types of transformational project discussed include the landscape project of space and place, and the landscape project of discourse and professional proposition. Both transform the attitudes and practices of decision makers, clients and communities.

Around 40% of the Port Phillip and Western Port region retains native vegetation. Although around almost half of this is located in parks or reserves managed for conservation purposes, much of the remainder is in small patches, fragmented and at risk of incremental clearing, weed invasion and other threats.
Improvement in the extent, diversity, quality and connectedness of the native vegetation is important to ensure it is resilient when threatened or affected by fire, disease, climate change, pest invasion or other issues.
Although some vegetation clearing is permitted and inevitable, the PPWCMA and it’s partners’ overall aim is for a net gain in the extent of native vegetation and its biodiversity values across the region. In the long-term, a series of major nature links are sought to be created, forming large vegetation corridors, enabling species transit and improving ecosystem resilience to climate change and habitat fragmentation.
The PPWCMA leads and/or supports projects that enhance the extent, quality, security and connectedness of native vegetation in this region. Most of these funded by the Victorian Government and Australian Government.
There will be extensive and diverse areas of native vegetation across the region’s landscapes that are permanently protected, in good quality and managed primarily for conservation and environmental purposes.
|Revegetation undertaken within PPWCMA projects to increase the amount of native habitat in the region and contribute to development of new nature links to enhance ecosystem resilience for the future.||300+ hectares per year|
A network of major nature links established
|Protection or enhancement of existing/remnant native vegetation undertaken within PPWCMA projects to increase the quality of native habitat in the region and enhance ecosystem resilience for the future.||500+ hectares per year|
Grow West is a long-term, collaborative program that is working to rejuvenate the Upper Werribee Catchment by creating vegetation connections between Brisbane Ranges National Park, Werribee Gorge State Park and Lerderderg State Park. The PPWCMA coordinates Grow West on behalf of its partners, which include government agencies, landholders and community groups.
Living Links is a long-term, collaborative program working to create a web of green spaces across Melbourne’s south-east by enhancing biodiversity and to improving opportunities for urban residents to connect with nature. The PPWCMA coordinates Living Links on behalf of its partners, which include local government, government agencies and community groups.
Transforming the Dandenong Creek Corridor
Transforming the Dandenong Creek Corridor is a four year project supported by the Victorian Government aims to improve environmental values at 38 priority sites along the Dandenong Creek corridor, while engaging local communities to better understand and appreciate the natural values of this important biolink.
Greening the Maribyrnong
Greening the Maribyrnong is a long-term, collaborative environmental program that focuses on revitalising the degraded escarpments of the Maribyrnong Valley through pest plant and animal control and revegetation with indigenous shrubs and trees. Its long-term ambition is to establish a naturelink stretching from the Macedon Ranges to inner Melbourne.
Restoring the Jacksons Creek Corridor
Restoring the Jacksons Creek Corridor is a 3.5 year project supported by the Victorian Government and Melbourne Water that is working to establish a substantial corridor of native vegetation along 10.5 kilometres of the creek (between the Emu Bottom Wetlands Reserve and Salesian College) to build resilience into the remnant native vegetation in the face of impending urban development.
Deepening Connections is a 3.5 year project supported by the Victorian Government that aims to
protect remnant biodiversity along creek lines in an area covering 6,700 hectares south of Darraweit Guim. The waterway of Deep Creek provides habitat for several significant species including Platypus, Growling Grass Frog, Southern Brown Toadlet and Swift Parrot.
Peaks to Plains
Peaks to Plains is three-year project supported by the Victorian Government that aims to protect threatened flora and fauna species in the You Yangs and across the Werribee Plains to Little River through the control of invasive weeds, rabbits and goats.
The Growing Carbon in the Port Phillip and Western Port Region project is exploring the potential to utilise local revegetation projects to generate carbon offsets that also provide environmental and social benefits. This project aims to support Victoria’s water industry to take actions on climate change and achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible.

We are excited to announce the great news that we have won the competition to develop a park in Høje-Taastrup, which is part of the new vision for the neighbourhood, Gadehavekvarteret/Gregersens. We’re looking forward to continue our fruitful collaboration with the Municipality of Høje-Taastrup, in Gadehavekvarteret, that started when we worked on a citizen involvement project designing an outdoor workshop at a local school.
From citizen involvement to design
We, at arki_lab, are thrilled to be a part of the new park development with the multidisciplinary team, BOGL Landscape Architects and Atkins Engineers. Our role in the project will be to facilitate the citizen involvement processes, gather user data and transform it into specific designs in close collaboration with BOGL Landscape. In that way, we’ll be acting as the link to ensure that the local ideas are translated into the final design. Another critical task is also to follow up on the previous engagement process with the local community and include the key actors from the nearby housing associations, educational institutions, cultural networks and local sports clubs. These key members will help prioritise the selected areas the citizens will take an active part in shaping, therefore we make it a priority to meet many different user groups in the area. A strong vision for the park is to create attractive spaces for all the different users of nearby educational institutions in order to establish the park as a communal space.
Connections and safety in social housing areas
The park will bring new bicycle- and pedestrian routes as well as meeting spots for the local community and educational institutions. Furthermore, the proposal contains the design of safe area for kids to play, learn how to bike etc., done in collaboration with the Danish Cyclist´ Federation. Climate adaptation and sustainability are high priorities, with the final design focusing on creating new green areas with different types of ecological and climate solutions.
The design will reflect the social diversity of the area and improve safety in the neighbourhood by implementing different strategies. Through multifunctionality, people are encouraged to stay and engage with one another. Lighting will serve as an atmospheric element and selected areas will be developed into recreational spaces.
This week we had an site inspection, facilitated by the Municipality of Høje-Taastrup, together with representatives from BOGL and Atkins. It was great to see the area again, but with a fresh set of eyes and a new project in mind. We are looking forward to collaborating with the other team members, creating citizen involvement processes and designing the best solutions for the inhabitants in order to help them feel safe, enhance the daily quality of life and engage actively in their community.

Treated pine is less expensive than hardwood because it grows faster and can be easily cut into boards and planks of various shapes and sizes.
The difference in cost means that treated pine is more affordable for DIY projects.
Is treated pine good for garden edging?
Treated pine is generally a good option for garden edging. They provide a strong border for your garden, which looks great and helps keep everything in its place.
As long you choose the right level of treatment, your timber will be resistant to rot from exposure to moisture and will also be termite resistant.
What type of treated pine should you use for garden edging?
The next step is choosing a treated pine that will suit your requirements.
Treated pine is given a hazard rating based on the level of treatment it has undergone.
For garden edging where the wood will be in contact with soil and water for prolonged periods of time, choose timber with a hazard rating of H4 or above (H4 timber is the best option).
H3-rated timber is not designed to be in contact with soil, making it unsuitable for garden edging.
You should also avoid using H2 or H1 rated timber outdoors because these are only meant to be used indoors as they aren’t able to withstand exposure to water.
Is it safe to use treated wood for vegetable gardens?
Many people prefer not to use CCA treated pine (which contains arsenic) for vegetable gardens. However, CSIRO does assign a tolerable risk, based on their research.
ACQ treated timber is generally considered to be safer to use than CCA as it does not contain arsenic.
However, as discussed in this report by Pennsylvania State University “ACQ contains more copper than CCA, and some copper will leach from ACQ-treated lumber as it does from CCA-treated lumber.”
If you are concerned, you can line your vegetable garden with plastic or another material to prevent leaching.
You could also use untreated hardwood sleepers as an alternative to treated pine.
Keep in mind that root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and beetroots are more at risk of absorbing toxins from the soil than above-ground growing fruit and vegetables.
RELATED: The Best Garden Sheds
How to Use Treated Pine for Edging
Here are the basic steps for installing your treated pine garden edging:
- Measure up your garden and determine what size pieces of timber you need.
- Cut your timber or order it pre-cut from your local supplier.
- Use a shovel to dig a channel around the edge of your garden. Keep in mind that the channel should be more narrow than your timber.
- Insert your timber into the channel and use a mallet to bang them into place. Check they are level.
- You can use wooden stakes as appropriate to keep the treated timber upright.
- Use nails to secure your timber in place. You can also use timber glue if you would prefer to not have visible nails or screws.
- Once you have secured your edging in place, fill any gaps between it and your lawn with wood chips or mulch for a natural effect. Alternatively, you can fill the gap with soil if you want the garden right up to the edge.

sabria Aleela patio design, 2018-01-23 08:42:31. This demand has not only forced landscape contractors to be more creative with their designs, but has created an industry within itself. All of your big box stores are catering to this industry with patio furniture, stainless steel grills, pre-built grill stations, portable fire pits and it is not unusual to see contractors who specialize or only design and install patios.
Mya Natalia patio design, 2018-01-23 08:42:30. Having a covered patio would definitely be wonderful. Therefore, if you have decided to have one, start looking for a good variety of covered patio designs. Putting up one will somehow help you realize the relevance of spending quality time with your loved ones and the importance of establishing good relationship Anyway, bear in mind that there are many different options to cover your patio. There are some patio covers or fabrics that will be better for shade than rain and visa-versa. Here is a brief list of some of the ways to cover your patio.
Giovanni Isabella patio design, 2018-01-26 04:44:06. Adding a whole new and cozy patio to a home could definitely add up some value. And this value enhancement doesn’t only come as real estate value. They also come as the venue of enjoyment for your friends and family. Have you ever thought seriously about adding a new patio to the perfect looking home you have had for so long? Well, for most people, the answer would most likely be a resounding Yes. But many of them fear that they won’t be able to afford it. Outdoor patio designs are flooding the Internet world these days and some of them are worth studying. Regardless of the kind of styling or architecture a home features, there are outdoor patio ideas which can complement them. For instance, you can just look at the brick made patio designs, which could look extremely good with the traditional Tudor or Colonial styled homes. On the other hand, Spanish type of architecture can looks superb with specially stamped concrete made patio designs. Concrete Patio Designs Some might think that concrete has its cold as well as sterile look. The fact is - it does, sometimes. But today, there are numerous types of concrete patio designs, which make use of a wide range of color stains or forms. Such forms or stains could easily make up nice concrete patio designs, which have the look and feel of the Mexican styled tile pavers or custom stonework, with almost zero cost. When they are done right, they look absolutely stunning. Here, you could consider incorporating a suitable drainage system. Concrete patios could turn out to be shallow ponds if they are not well planned or poured correctly.
Mariana Lucia patio design, 2018-01-26 04:44:08. The quantity of available space that you have lets you generate a layout so that you can plan your ultimate patio designs. This also gives you a clear-cut indication of the quantity of concrete that you want to lay. Same goes for the tiles you want have to pave. And for paving, it is best to get well recognized pavers.
Gemma Francesca patio design, 2018-01-26 04:44:09. Patio designs incorporating built-in seating with pergolas and outdoor fireplaces look very chic and transform the patio into an outdoor room. It is also a great way to make use of all available space in a very small garden. This solution is convenient if you don’t want to shuffle around with garden furniture. However, the position of the seating is fixed and restricts how you can use the patio. The space is less flexible as seating cannot be varied to turn a dining area into a lounging area.
sabria Aleela patio design, 2018-01-26 04:44:08. "How will I use my patio?" Other than budget this is the most important question to ask yourself. If you plan on entertaining, you may consider seating walls around portions of your patio for overflow seating or an outdoor bar. If you have children you may want to invest in a fire pit area, either a portable or built-in. These are great to spend quality time with your children. Do you like to grill out? Perhaps adding a BBQ grill station or outdoor kitchen might be a nice addition. However you choose to use your patio, you need to convey these uses to your designer so they can incorporate them into the patio design. Make sure your designer draws your patio design to an identifiable scale. Have them draw in your patio furniture and accessories so you can get an idea if, and how, they will fit on your patio. These questions will help you decide what size of patio you need to install. Remember, bigger doesn’t mean more functional. Also, keep in mind, if your wants exceed your budget, using brick or concrete patio pavers will allow you to seamlessly add on later.
Mya Natalia patio design, 2018-01-26 04:44:08. Get the best quality stone you can afford then the patio will last longer and stay looking good for many years. A patio should never be designed in isolation without considering the rest of the garden. A well designed garden where all the elements are in scale with each other and the house will connect the house and garden. A balanced design that includes a patio or multiple patios will give the garden coherence and ensure that it is a pleasant, comfortable space in which to spend time.
Giovanni Isabella patio design, 2018-01-26 04:44:07. Most patios are sited immediately adjacent to the rear exit from the house because it is convenient - this may not be the best location for your patio. The back of the house may be shaded all day and therefore not ideal if you wish to like to sit in the sun. Consider a small terrace to the rear of the house with another seating area somewhere else in the garden which gets more sun. When designing a garden it’s a good idea to include more than one patio.. One patio can be sited so that it catches the last of the evening sun to provide a warm spot for an evening drink or meal. This makes the garden much more interesting and ensures that you are using more of the garden.
Gemma Francesca patio design, 2018-01-26 04:44:07. "Do your homework!" The more time you invest at the front end of your patio project, the easier and more enjoyable the installation will be.

The collection of street trees in Barcelona is made up of over 100 different species, which in addition to boosting biodiversity, increases the charm of urban scenery and lets city residents enjoy a great wealth of wooded areas. The plane tree (Platanus x hispanica) is the most common of all the species, followed by the European Hackberry (Celtis australis). The Pagoda Tree (Sophora japonica), the Lombardy Black Poplar (Populus nigra 'Italica'), the Siberian Elm (Ulmus pumila), the Rosewood or Tipu tree (Tipuana tipu), the Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), the Kurrajong (Brachychiton populneus), the White Cedar (Melia azedarach), the Broad-leaf Privet (Ligustrum lucidum) and the Box Elder (Acer negundo) are other tree species which are most commonly found in the city.
There are over 6,000 different species of palm trees in the streets of Barcelona, five of which account for the majority of them. The most common is the True Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera), followed by the Washingtonias (Washingtonia robusta and Washingtonia filifera) and the Mediterranean Fan Palm (Chamaerops humilis). Another noteworthy palm tree is the Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis), even though it is not quite as common.

Providing a habitat for wildlife in your garden can be one of the most rewarding things you can do as a homeowner.
In addition to the environmental benefits, having wildlife in your yard can be both educational and entertaining.
One way to attract a variety of birds and other creatures is by installing a water feature.
In this blog post, I will guide you through the process of choosing, installing, and maintaining a water feature to attract wildlife in your garden.
So, let’s get started!
Water features can come in many different forms, but the most common types are natural ponds, artificial ponds, and water fountains. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and which one you choose will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
Natural ponds are the most natural and visually appealing option. They provide a habitat for a variety of animals and plants and are generally low-maintenance. On the downside, they require more space and can be more difficult to install than other types. If you do decide to go with a natural pond, you will need to excavate an area, line it with a waterproof liner, and provide a circulation system to keep the water clean.
Artificial ponds are designed to mimic the appearance and function of a natural pond while being easier to install and maintain. They can be made from various materials such as fiberglass, plastic, or concrete. The main advantage of an artificial pond is that it can be customized to fit any size or shape of yard. However, artificial ponds are often more expensive than other types, and may not attract as much wildlife as natural ponds.
Water fountains are an excellent option if you have limited space or are on a tight budget. They are easy to install and are available in a wide range of styles and sizes, so you can find one that fits your specific needs. On the downside, water fountains do not provide as much habitat for wildlife as ponds, and they are generally less visually appealing.
No matter which type of water feature you choose, it’s important to plan carefully and consider all the pros and cons before making a final decision. By taking your time and doing your research, you can find the perfect water feature for your yard that will provide you with years of enjoyment and attract a variety of wildlife.
Choosing the right location for your water feature is crucial for its success. Here are some factors to consider:
Ideally, your water feature should receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. This will ensure that any water plants you add will thrive. However, if your yard has a lot of trees or other shade-giving features, you should consider an alternative water feature that doesn’t rely on direct sunlight.
While having trees nearby has many benefits, such as providing shade and shelter, they also drop leaves and twigs which can clog up the water feature. Make sure that your water feature is far enough away from trees to prevent this from happening.
Choose a location that makes it easy for you to maintain and clean your water feature. If it’s too hard to reach, you may not keep up with regular maintenance, which can cause problems down the line.
Consider how easy it will be to maintain your water feature before choosing a location. For example, if you live in an area with harsh winters, you may want to choose a location that allows you to easily drain and store any equipment before the first frost. If you choose a natural pond, it will require regular maintenance, including adding beneficial bacteria, testing the water quality, and making sure that the plants are healthy.
Choosing the right plants for your water feature is crucial to attracting wildlife to your yard. Here are three types of plants that you should consider adding to your water feature:
Native plants are a great way to attract native wildlife to your water feature. These plants are adapted to the local climate and are often more resilient than non-native species. In addition, native plants can provide food and shelter for various species of birds, butterflies, and other animals.
Water plants are a fantastic addition to any water feature. They provide cover for fish and other aquatic animals, and they also help to oxygenate the water and prevent algae growth. Some common water plants to consider adding to your water feature include water lilies, duckweed, and cattails.
Bog plants are another excellent option for your water feature. These plants thrive in wet, marshy areas and can provide cover and food for a variety of birds, insects, and other wildlife. Some common bog plants include pitcher plants, sundews, and butterworts.
When choosing plants for your water feature, it’s essential to consider the needs of the different species you want to attract. Plant variety is essential, as different species of wildlife require different types of plants for food and shelter. By adding a variety of native, water, and bog plants to your water feature, you can create a diverse and thriving ecosystem that will attract a variety of wildlife to your yard.
Wildlife needs more than just water to survive, they also need shelter and a safe place to call home. Here are some easy ways to provide both:
If you have any larger rocks or logs in your yard be sure to keep them instead of disposing of them. Wildlife such as rabbits and small mammals can make their homes under these safe natural shelters. Birds like to stand on them as well to observe and look for predators.
Another great way to provide shelter is by using birdhouses and nesting boxes. A birdhouse should imitate a natural cavity that would be found in a tree or cavity. Different types of birds require different sizes of houses and holes. For example, bluebirds need a hole with a 1.5-inch diameter, whereas chickadees need a 1 1/8-inch hole. Nesting boxes are made for birds that live in colonies and need to nest close to each other.
Providing nesting boxes or birdhouses in the vicinity of your water feature provides the birds with both their shelter and water. You could make nesting boxes and birdhouses by yourself using scrap lumber or polystyrene coolers.
Lastly, you could allow some wildflowers or old twigs to grow here and there in addition to the shelter. These don’t only provide nesting spaces for birds but help the chrysalis of butterflies to attach themselves.
These actions can make your yard an ideal wildlife habitat, and it all starts with the basics; shelter.
Maintaining your water features is essential to keeping them healthy and safe for wildlife. Here are some tips to help keep your water feature clean and functioning properly:
Pond Skimmers and Filters: By installing a pond skimmer and a filter in your water feature, you can greatly reduce the amount of debris and contaminants that build up in the water. Pond skimmers remove leaves, twigs, and other large debris from the surface of the water, while filters remove smaller particles and pollutants.
Algae Control: Algae growth is a common problem in water features, but there are several methods for controlling it. One effective option is to add barley straw to the water, which releases a natural chemical that inhibits algae growth. Another option is to use an algaecide, but be aware that some of these products can harm wildlife if used improperly.
Winterization: If you live in an area with cold winters, it’s important to winterize your water feature to prevent damage. You can do this by draining the water and removing any pump or filtration equipment, or by using a special heater designed to keep the water moving and prevent ice from forming.
By following these simple maintenance tips, you can keep your water feature clean and healthy for years to come, providing a safe and natural oasis for wildlife in your own backyard.
Water features, while beautiful and attractive to wildlife, can also pose some safety hazards if not managed properly. In order to ensure the safety of wildlife and humans, it is important to take certain precautions.
Drowning is a major concern when it comes to water features. To prevent drowning, it is important to make sure that the water feature is shallow enough for wildlife to access easily but not deep enough for them to get trapped in. Installing a gradual slope in the water feature can help create a safe entry and exit point for the creatures.
Water features can also attract mosquitoes and other pests. To prevent this, it is important to treat the water with appropriate mosquito control products and to remove any standing water around the feature where pests can breed.
Finally, it is important to secure the area around the water feature to prevent both wildlife and humans from accidentally falling in. You can install a fence or barrier around the water feature to keep animals and young children away from the water. Additionally, make sure to monitor the water feature regularly to ensure that it remains safe and secure.
By taking these safety measures, you can ensure that your water feature remains a beautiful and enjoyable addition to your garden while also keeping both wildlife and humans safe.
Have you ever found yourself fascinated by the sight of a bird taking a bath in a pond or a butterfly sipping nectar from a water fountain? By creating a water feature in your yard, you’ll be able to witness these delightful interactions between wildlife and water, and enjoy the calming sound of water as well.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of having a water feature in your yard is being able to observe the wildlife that it attracts. You can enjoy watching birds, butterflies, and other creatures as they drink, bathe, and frolic in and around the water feature. With patience and a little bit of luck, you might even be able to spot some less common visitors, such as dragonflies, frogs, or even bats at dusk.
If you have an interest in nature photography, a water feature can be an excellent subject. Birds, butterflies, and other creatures often linger around the water feature, providing you with ample opportunities to capture stunning close-up pictures. With the right equipment and some patience, you can take pictures that highlight the beauty and diversity of the wildlife in your own backyard.
Installing a water feature provides a unique opportunity to learn about the environment and ecosystem around us. You can learn about the different types of wildlife that your water feature attracts, and how they interact with the water feature and the surrounding habitat. For example, you might learn about the relationship between insect pollinators and plants, or how different bird species use water for drinking and grooming. By taking the time to observe and learn, you can deepen your appreciation for the natural world and become a better steward of your own backyard habitat.
So don’t hesitate to create your own water feature, and start enjoying the wonders of nature that it brings to your yard!
In conclusion, water features are an excellent way to attract wildlife to your yard and make your outdoor space more enjoyable.
I hope that this guide has been helpful in giving you an overview of the different types of water features, how to choose the right location, attract wildlife with plants, provide shelter and habitat and also how to maintain them.
Now I would love to hear from you!
What kind of water feature are you most excited to try?
Leave me a message and let me know.
If you found this guide helpful, please share it with your friends on social media so that they too can create beautiful and functional spaces in their own backyards.

Landscaping is something that you can do to make the outside of your house look magnificent. You just need to learn a few techniques to improve your landscaping skills with some simple tips. Read this article and discover how your house can be the talk of the block.
Curved beds look more up-to-date as opposed to straight lines and visually striking than straight-edged beds.
When you landscape, you must know the difference between perennials and annuals, as well as what flowers, plant, or flowers work best in different areas. You have to also remember your seasons when you’re doing any kind of landscaping. It is important that you know this information in order to get the best results from your landscape plans.
Make the most of your yard look beautiful all year by creating a garden suitable for many seasons. Choose different kinds of plants for different seasons, making sure they are appropriate for your zone. You can also use trees with interesting foliage or evergreens which keep your yard looking lively all year long.
It is very difficult to landscape every part of your home at one time. Dividing your project into phases will make it much easier on your wallet. It will also assist you in changing your design down the road.
You don’t want to use plants that need sunlight in shady areas. You want trees in small growth areas. Take the time to ensure that your plants can thrive in their new home.
Landscaping does not only include the planting trees here and grasses. To add texture and substance, look for ways to add cement, wood or iron structures. Archways, birdbaths, birdbaths and pergolas all create beautiful and complex designs that are pleasing to the eye. These things come in a broad range in terms of prices for any budget.
A lot of aspiring landscapers don’t consider buying landscaping plants online.Not only is it more convenient to shop online, you can find a variety of rare plants which you may never find locally or in one of those large retail stores.
Consult a professional before starting any type of landscape work in your yard. While you won’t need them to do everything, their advice can help you avoid mistakes that will cost you later on down the road. This step is especially important if you are new to landscaping.
This just ends in you investing a lot of money. You may want to consult with a landscaper, and pay them for the service, but doing the work yourself will save you a lot of money.
Measure the area that you will be working before you start buying plants or other supplies. This will make it easier for you to know exactly how much of any item you need. This will help you do not end up with either a shortage or surplus of your materials.
Consider existing structures that are already in place before beginning any landscape project.Make sure you’re aware of where components of your home such as gutters, gutter, and septic drainfields before you begin in order to avoid running into them later. Call your city or county before you dig to make sure you do not damage any underground lines.
It is okay to go with lower-cost products. When it comes to things like mulch, perennials and some other products, there’s no reason to buy the more pricey version. It is very important that you be sure to look over the plants.Places that offer them at a deal might not have given them the care that they need.
Try and create a landscape design that provides interest 12 months of the year. This will mean selecting plants that thrive at different times of the winter. The most important part of having great looking land all year around is to research your plants.
Although their cost estimate is an important factor, still take the time to look at pictures of yards they have worked on to see if you like their style.
Plan out your yard before you buy materials so you don’t spend what you don’t need to. Try making a rough outline of your landscaping project so you are able to discern all the materials necessary to get started.
Once you know how to do it, landscaping does not have to be hard. Use the tips in this article to help map out your landscaping plan, and get ready for a beautiful yard! Once you’ve learned enough information and spent some time in the field, you will be a landscaping pro. Get started with becoming a good landscaper today.

Pleasure Garden, Black Cultural Archives, Brixton
In 2014 social enterprise We Love Brixton and 2MZ co-founded Brixton Design Week, which launched Brixton as a destination at the London Design Festival.
The following year our work organising the event continued, but this time with the help of architects Squire and Partners. The week was renamed Brixton Design Trail and, supported by Lambeth and Brixton BID, a wealth of home-grown talent was brought together for the London Design Festival 2015.
One of the headline events was Pleasure Garden, 2MZ's collaboration with Black Cultural Archives (BCA).
Our brief from BCA was to create a playful and interactive installation for their courtyard which would complement their forthcoming exhibition The Black Georgians.
Research drew us to pleasure gardens as, unusually for Georgian Britain, these were places Londoners from all backgrounds mingled. We liked the idea of a pleasure garden in Brixton, one of the most diverse areas in the UK.
We wanted the design to work in harmony with the restored stucco facades of BCA’s Raleigh Hall, a Grade II listed Georgian building, as this would help us echo the era of the exhibition.
Taking elements of classical pavilions found in traditional pleasure gardens, such as colonnades and arches, we used contemporary materials to create a space which immersed visitors in reflection, pattern and illusion.
The colours were one of the last elements to be resolved and we took inspiration from a piece of Ghanian kente cloth for the final selection.
Pleasure Garden was cited as a London Design Festival highlight (out of +400 events) by several sources, including, World of Interiors, Londonist, The Spaces, Highsnobiety and by Munira Mirza, the Deputy Mayor of London for Education and Culture.
Images of Pleasure Garden were among the London Design Festival’s most popular Twitter and Instagram posts. The installation proved such a hit with visitors that BCA kept it in place for an additional two months after the Festival.

Community media coverage of Green2015
NEastPhilly, an independent news site and partner of Metro writes that communites in the Northeast hoping to compliment Pennypack Park attended the fifth of six Green2015 meetings last week, events intended to collect public input on the creation of 500 acres of green space in Philadelphia.
In the Northeast, suggestions included planting grass in traffic islands, making use of existing buildings for “green pearls,” and providing space for wildlife.
University City Review attended the final Green2015 event, held last Tuesday at the Central Library.
“People who live in the community should be involved in the decision making,” said one resident. Another noted that street parks add variety to the typical steel-and-concrete urban environment.
Organizers say that they will develop core project principles from the public meetings, input that will be presented in November.

Meet Neil Goldstein
Neil received his professional degrees from the College of Art & Design at Louisiana State University and the Graduate School of Architecture and Planning at Columbia University. He has over 25 years of design experience in both interior design and out door patio furnishings and landscape design. Prior to joining Star, Neil worked on several residential and commercial projects domestically and internationally. He is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish.
"Having lived overseas during my formative years exposed me to many different cultures and styles. As such I strongly believe that all good design, regardless of cultural origins, styles or periods derive their origins from the basic elements and principals of design such as texture, color, shape, unity and balance of form and function."
The most important thing to Neil is to involve his clients in the design making process early on. "My goal is to translate the design and furnishing needs of our clients into a pleasing, unique and individualized functional and aesthetic experience. I want to make their house their home; a place they are proud of and in which they can relax and enjoy friends and family."


She started this project after having a training in India under a British Council sponsorship. In fact, she represented Sri Lanka. This project is collaborated with the International Climate Change Championship Pogramme. The objective of her project is to enrich the river banks and stream banks by planting 200 bamboo seedlings. It is expected that those plants will significantly contribute to the aesthetic value and the biodiversity of the area.
Savindi has selected bamboo for this project due to several reasons. There is a great advantage of bamboo as it has an enormous growth rate. It sequesters 4 times more carbon dioxide than hardwood and releases 35% more oxygen than equivalent stands of trees. Further, bamboo does not require any fertilisers.
The net-like root system of bamboo effectively protects watersheds by stitching the soil together along fragile riverbanks, deforested areas, and in places prone to earthquakes and mud slides. A wide-spreading root system, uniquely shaped leaves, and dense litter on the forest floor also greatly reduces rain runoff, preventing massive soil erosion and effectively keeping twice as much water, in the watershed.
Savindi believes that planting bamboo trees is an effective implementation to balance the carbon footprint because it sequesters 4 times more carbon dioxide than hardwood. She hopes to further use her knowledge and experience gathered by following the subject "Forestry and Environmental Science" at the degree level to carry out this project successfully.

A gathering of Victorian Local Government designers was held at the City of Manningham in April, with lunch and a panel of stimulating guest speakers – and networking drinks at the end of a very interesting afternoon. The highlight of the afternoon was a presentation by Jim Sinatra of Sinatra Murphy on a recent project in Noble Park Shopping Centre in the City of Greater Dandenong. Jim presented a beautifully illustrated talk on the community consultation and design process for a multi cultural neighbourhood which he dubbed a “cultural mosaic”.
It was decided by those in attendance to formalise the group so as to ensure its continuance, and to better facilitate a more concentrated and united impact on public design and design in public places in Victoria. It was a diverse group of architects, landscape architects, urban designers and other design professionals, with almost 80 professionals in attendance.
The next step, initiated by Felix Hemmingway of the City of Geelong, was to encourage people to nominate themselves or another person for a committee whose first task will be to develop a charter for the group for adoption at the next gathering. The City of Knox has already shown a strong interest in holding this meeting. The committee will comprise of six people and it is hoped that the committee regularly changes membership so that new people and new thinking is encouraged. This group is important not only as a collection of a vast array of skills and experience but also for individual practitioners at ‘the coal face” of delivering good design locally. It will hopefully grow into a network which can help push the broader agenda of better more integrated design outcomes.
