Last week Julie paid a visit to the Toronto Music Garden with her parents and reported that it is the perfect time of year to see this garden, when the grasses and many of the perennials are at their most spectacular.

Last week Julie was visiting a client in Toronto and had just enough time for a quick visit to the Toronto Music Garden with her video camera.

Sometimes when it comes to creative gardening, it’s the finishing touches that make all the difference, adding a real touch of character to your outdoor space. From the carefully selected terrace furniture to the sweet wrought iron arbour or the winding pebble path, it’s the details that lift the whole design to become something quite extraordinary.
One area where you can make your mark and dramatically change the style of your garden is in the edging designs you opt for. Whether you’re hoping to create a sleek, contemporary finish or a charming rustic feel, a subtle tone or a nostalgic one, the best garden border edging can say a lot. Here are a few inspirational border edging ideas for anyone looking to optimise their garden’s style without breaking the bank.
Sturdy and solid, old yet new, railway sleepers are enjoying real popularity right now both indoors and out. If you’re looking to achieve a deliberately unpolished, laid back finish with a respectful nod to Britain’s great railway and industrial heritage, sleepers are an excellent choice. They also score high in the reuse/re-purpose stakes and will look fantastic with billowing swathes of brightly coloured wildflowers come June and July.
Bricks are incredibly versatile. You may opt for a modest border of crumbling red brick, a meticulously laid herringbone design or a pretty basket weave pattern, and achieve a different look and feel each time. Plus, of course, with brick you can choose exactly how wide you want your border edging to be.
Gardeners have plenty of choice when it comes to the creative use of stone. It may be that you favour a sawn stone look in creamy or silvery tones to blend with your planting, or to create a contrast with it. Quality natural stone lends a garden real warmth, as well as a natural finish.
Terracotta tiles or edging products often have a vintage or Victorian feel to them, which can be just right for some garden styles. How about an antique rope in glazed terracotta clay? This neat look works well with snug bedding plants and spring bulbs bursting with cheerful colour.
Concrete edging can lend gardens a truly slick and contemporary feel, but the products on the market today are also able to help you achieve other, very different styles. Some hewnstone edgings are deliberately designed to emulate a more natural stone look, complete with textured surfaces and earthy colourways like slate and dark buff.
Raising beds is one way to give definition to your garden without using traditional edging products. To make a solid statement, how about using Croft Stone Walling? Easy and fast to install, the end result looks country cottage cosy and is the ideal backdrop for all sorts of plants and flowers.
There’s a great range of options for those looking to re-edge their borders. It doesn’t matter if you’re hoping to achieve a look that’s quirky or traditional, coolly modern or charmingly pretty, the right border edging material is out there for you.


Merton Council has teamed up with the Mitcham Common Conservators to restore the ancient One Island Pond on Mitcham Common.
Following a successful bid by Merton Council and the Mitcham Common Conservators for £14,965 from Viridor Credits Environmental Company, the first phase of works on restoring the pond has now begun. The Conservators are in the process of moving silt from the main part of the pond to create a reed bed at the eastern-most end of the pond. The work will enhance both the appearance of the pond and will also improve it as a home to many fish and other wildlife.
Merton Council cabinet member for environmental sustainability and regeneration Councillor Andrew Judge said: ‘Our work with Mitcham Common Conservators will vastly improve the water quality of the pond and will allow pond life to flourish so that all our residents can continue to enjoy this beauty spot. This is a perfect example of how organisations with their different areas of expertise can work effectively in partnership to achieve good work to benefit of the community.’
Chair of the Mitcham Common Conservators, Paul Harper said: ‘The accumulated silt in One Island Pond was having a detrimental impact on the pond’s appearance and its capacity to hold water. This project will restore the pond and the creation of a reed bed will provide an additional habitat for wildlife to enjoy. We are grateful for the support we have received from Merton Council, the Friends of Mitcham Common and Viridor Credits for funding the project.’

Do not improperly lay your new sod. Before you lay the sod, the soil has to be prepared. Pull any weeds that you see, and work to break up the soil so that it is a fine tilth. When the soil is clean, pack it tightly and create a flat surface. Water the soil until it is saturated. Avoid laying your sod in straight rows with all of the seams lining up. Instead, stagger the rows for a more pleasing visual effect. You want the sod to end up as a flat and even surface. If there are any gaps in between the sod pieces, then you can fill these in with some soil. The sod requires water on a daily basis for two weeks, then the roots will have taken hold and ready to be walked on.
In order to rid your garden of pests, take advantage of plant materials and other organic matter. For example, planting a border consisting of marigolds or onions can repel slugs. Wood ash can be used as mulch, and if put on the base of shrub and tree seedlings, will keep insects away. Using these methods eliminates your need of chemical pesticides.
Vegetables should be planted in an area where they will get a minimum of six hours of daily sunlight. Many of the vegetables need a lot of sun, so they can grow right and at a faster pace. Some flowers also have the same needs.
A great tip for gardeners is mulching. Mulching also works to slow water evaporation and limit weed growth.
An English garden mixes plants of various kinds and sizes close together, which helps to give it a more multi-dimensional feel. You should avoid using plants of the same height so that your flower bed doesn’t look flat and uniform.
Not as tough as you were thinking, right? As with many other subjects, there is a ton of advice out there for every aspect of gardening. Sometimes you just need a little clue as to where to begin with it, so that you can “jump right in”. The tips you have found above should help you do just that!
If you are really into gardening and love to grow your own plants and vegetables, you’ll love what this lady has created.

A safe and durable boardwalk section was needed to extend a new multi-use path through a protected wetland area in Glastonbury, CT. The boardwalk required a live load design to account for a 10,000 lb. vehicle (H5 truck). Construction efforts on the boardwalk system needed to minimize disturbance to this environmentally sensitive area. Furthermore, the original boardwalk trail design included challenging horizontal and vertical alignment changes. The Town of Glastonbury needed a product with engineered design flexibility to fit the multi-use path’s original layout.
Glastonbury’s engineers selected a skid-resistant Sandblast finish to help prevent bike tires from losing their grip on a winding trail design - even in shady, wet areas. Cast-in-place concrete piles were selected from a variety of PermaTrak foundation options.
Connecticut Carpentry capitalized on the boardwalk’s load carrying capacity as they installed the treads using top-down construction, minimizing the impact on the wetlands. Not only was the PermaTrak system engineered to meet the live load requirement, but its design flexibility allowed for the multi-use path alignment to be essentially unchanged from concept to construction. “We are pleased with the overall appearance of the finished product,” said Glastonbury engineer Stephen Braun. “It fits very well with the path.”

When it comes to picking a tree for your yard, it is important to make your considerations carefully. A bad decision for your yard can lead to a problems later on, or unexpected maintenance / removal costs.
Trees supply families with a lifetime of beauty, clean and fresh air, shade, as well as shelter. They also help to give your yard a sense of permanence and add an aesthetic value to your property; there is nothing quite like having a majestic tree as a statement in your yard.
The right tree planted at the right location can speak volumes and it can be a great investment. On the other hand, the wrong tree can cause issues such as blocking your access to sunlight and they can also act as a hazard.
As such, it is critical that you take your time when picking a tree so that you can select one that is right for your yard. If you are currently in the process of landscaping your yard, or looking for the perfect tree, here are out tips:
1. Think about your reasons for wanting to plant a tree
People plant trees in their yards for a range of reasons including casting a shade, enhancing the beauty of the landscape, growing edible fruit, to act as a habitat for animals, provide a playing spot for the family, and so on. Determining your reasons will help you assess which type of tree is appropriate for your yard.
2. Determine the growing conditions
When picking your tree, you need to consider the conditions in which the tree will grow. Some of the things that you have to keep in mind include:
• Light: figure out how much light you experience between full morning sun and shade.
• The climate: you need a tree that can survive in your climate. If you are unsure, check with your local nursery or Oasis Tree Management.
• The soil type: different trees thrive in different types of soil.
3. Consider your space
You need to ensure that you have sufficient room for your tree for it to reach its mature spread and height. We’ve been called many times to remove trees that are too large for their environment, as the planter has not considered how the tree will grow.
Remember to check for any utilities that may be buried underground when measuring or picking your preferable space. If your tree has a large bark or deep roots, it could end up causing problems with the foundation of your house, pool, shed slab etc.
4. Pick local
It is more advisable to pick a tree for your yard that grows locally. You can find a list of tree species that thrive in your region easily from various resources online, like this one from the Brisbane Council.

Spring Lake Golf Club
Spring Lake Heights, New Jersey
“The entire membership is extremely pleased with the outcome of Tripp’s renovation of our course. As a member of the committee who oversaw the project, I was very happy with the outcome and the process." - James Hickey, Spring Lake Golf Club's greens chairman.
Tripp Davis and Associates embarked on its Master Plan for renovating and restoring Spring Lake Golf Club’s historic course in 2013. Located on New Jersey’s north shore, the club’s original 18 holes were designed by George Thomas (the genius behind Riviera Country Club) in 1911. In 1918, A.W. Tillinghast, one of America’s greatest golf course architects, was engaged to redesign, strengthen and update the course.
Tripp Davis, who is noted for his work with historic golf courses around the country, was asked by Spring Lake Golf Club in 2011 to create a strategic plan that would restore the character of the course first laid out by Thomas and later improved upon by Tillinghast. Our direction and focus in developing a Master Plan for Spring Lake was to keep Thomas’s solid routing intact, then look to what Tillinghast did so we could work to reestablish the importance of angles off the tees, restore and enhance the strategic intent of the bunkers and return them to their original style. Additionally, fairway widths that were altered over the years will be regained, the once sandy scrub areas that were a prominent feature will be reintroduced, some greens will be rebuilt, and overall there will be a more open feel to the landscape.
With Spring Lake being so close to the Atlantic, Tripp and his team introduced Fine Fescues in various areas to promote more of a seaside feel. While making the course more strategically interesting for modern play, the end result is to let golfers experience a step back in time.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A special tree at Portland State University is getting a shoutout from a state program honoring its longevity and access to the community.
In a blog post, PSU announced that its copper beech tree encircled by the university’s library would be inducted into the Oregon Heritage Tree program as Oregon’s 81st State Heritage Tree. The tree was honored last Friday for the 150th anniversary of Arbor Day.
The university’s blog post highlighted seven facts about the honorable tree, such as it first being planted in someone’s yard.
“The tree was planted on Park Avenue in front of the house of J. Frank Watson and Mary (Whalley) Watson around 1892,” Summer Allen, a member of Portland State University’s communications team, said. “J. Frank Watson himself was a transplant from Massachusetts who found success in Portland where he worked as the president of a bank, managed an ironworks and started a shipbuilding company.”
In 1971, PSU once considered trying to move the beech, the blog added. The university’s landscape superintendent at the time consulted with a tree surgeon to see if the beech and its roots could be moved two blocks.
The university’s archives note that the tree surgeon declined the “intriguing challenge” of moving the tree as a “presumptuous and foolish” idea with an “astronomical” cost.
Allen said the tree also helped shape the design of the library when it was expanded in the late 1980s, with the design concept centered around preserving and highlighting the copper beech.
“The result? The breathtaking curved glass wall that makes the library one of the prettiest buildings on campus,” Allen noted.
This also isn’t the first time the tree is being honored. In 1995, it was designated as a Portland Heritage Tree, which was the city’s 54th heritage tree.

Squelch! New wetland project at visitor attraction should be ready in the spring
A new wetland area is being created at a south Shropshire visitor attraction - and it is hoped that the work will help prevent flooding in the area.
Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre has received funding through Severn Trent’s Community Fund to create a new wetland area in its meadows.
The project, titled Squelch, will have a 200 square metre wader scrape, a bird hide and accessible paths allowing free public access for people of all abilities.
There will also be some interpretation and a live video feed into the centre showing visitors some of the wildlife which lives in the meadows.
The scheme is part of an ongoing management programme to develop the Onny Meadows under the stewardship of Ian Cheeseborough, the Meadows Ranger.
Since joining the team in 2021, Ian has overseen improvements to the ponds, meadows and woodland areas, and the Squelch project creates another new wildlife habitat within the 30-acre site.
A spokesperson for the project says Squelch has three main objectives. The first is to provide a place for nature to thrive - it’s hoped the site will attract Great Crested Newts as well as a wealth of invertebrates and wetland birds.
The second is to develop people’s love for and understanding of their local wildlife.
Through some immersive displays and a new bird hide, there will be opportunity for close encounters of the natural kind!
Thirdly, the area will hold back river water during times of flood, helping to alleviate flooding in residential areas further downstream.
Grant Wilson, the centre manager who helped secure the funding, is excited about Squelch, and said: “Getting this project from the idea stage to the contractors arriving on site took rather longer than we expected, so it’s especially pleasing to see it underway at last.
"A key part of our mission as charity is to connect people to the landscape of this beautiful area and I believe Squelch will play a key role in achieving this aim.
"For me personally, it was important that as many people as possible could benefit from Squelch, so the accessible paths and live video feed complement the scheme really well.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Severn Trent for funding Squelch and look forward to working with them to bring the project to completion.”
Jade Gough, Severn Trent community fund officer, said: “Severn Trent’s Community Fund looks to support projects that help people to lead a healthier life and gain new skills; help to create better places to live in and use, and also projects that will help look after our natural environment, which is why we’re delighted to have been able to support the Discovery Centre with their wetland project.
"It will not only create new habitats for a whole host of wildlife and birds, but also give the community and everyone who visits the chance to connect with nature and access the beautiful local landscape for years to come. We’re really excited to see the new area once it’s finished.”
Squelch is expected to be completed by the spring and will be free to visit during normal centre opening hours. If you would like to learn more about Squelch, visit the centre or drop them a line.
Entry to the Discovery Centre and Onny Meadows is free but there is a charge for visitors to enjoy the Shropshire Hills Through Time exhibition and visit the famous mammoth.
The Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre is operated by Grow Cook Learn, a registered charity connecting people to the food and landscape of the Shropshire Hills, providing opportunities to local people and visitors to learn and discover.


For larger scale developments where significant environmental effects might arise, this may be a requirement, and Cunnane Town Planning can assist by initially obtaining Screening and Scoping Opinions from a local authority.

The Best Ways To Develop Interest With Your Landscape PlanWhen people move into homes after awhile they want to change the atmosphere and vibe that the home emits. Many times, people have a desire to change the landscape of their home, but they aren't sure how. If you feel like you want to change your home a bit, then this article is for you. It has a lot of helpful advice that you can use to restructure the landscape of your home.
When landscaping, it is best to use plants which are native to the area. When you landscape your garden, try using trees flowers and shrubs that you would find locally. These plants will still survive if the soil is of poor quality. Also, they do not need too much water and will still survive in bad weather.
Do not settle for learn here as a patio or a deck if you are not going to use it. It might be worth it to pay a professional designer to help you create the kind of space and design you will use and enjoy throughout different seasons.
Plant companion plants in your garden. These plants naturally work together to help each other repel pests and diseases. This can help you to have a healthier garden without the use of pesticides. You can find a lot of information on companion plants through a quick Internet search.
Landscape according to how much time you can commit. While an elaborate landscape might look good on paper, remember that it requires constant upkeep. When designing your garden think about your available time, your physical condition, and your budget. Only take on the responsibilities of a garden that you can easily cope with.
Try talking to a pro before you start working on your landscape. You might not need a landscape designer or architect to draft your whole project, but for under $100, a consultation that lasts about an hour can be well worth the money if it prevents you from making costly mistakes later on.
Be sure that the lawnmower you choose is one of a good quality. Many times, people just buy whichever lawnmower is cheapest or on sale. Generally, these lawnmowers do not cut through grass properly, and they may break easier. Even though Highly recommended Website may be more costly, a high-quality mower will usually do the job.

When planning a landscaping project for your house, do not forget the importance of having evergreens in your yard. Evergreens are great because not only are they going to look the same year round, but they also are perfect for using as coverage for widespread areas. This is true for ground coverage as well as privacy borders.
Before beginning a landscaping project, go to a home improvement or gardening store first to ensure you have the right equipment. Home Depot and other popular big box retailers not only carry everything you need, but also have knowledgeable staff who can provide advice and recommendations to help you on your next project.
Consider the costs of maintaining your newly landscaped yard before you begin the project. Fertilizers and pesticides are very expensive when using a good deal through a year. If you want a pool consider how much the chemicals will cost you a year, plus possible maintenance costs. These are some of the things that are often forgotten of and add up quickly.
While having an outdoor kitchen can add value to your home, and increase the eye-opening value of it, you should avoid installing one if you live in a climate that is not warm most of the time. This is because you will only be able to use the kitchen when it is warm outside so it will be a waste of money.
When it's time to pick out your materials, don't use cost as the sole determining factor in your choices. A couple of elements you want to consider are return policies and reputation for good customer service. Weight your options out before purchasing anything. Sometimes, spending a few extra bucks can actually save you money over time.
Hopefully, with the knowledge you gained, you now have a good idea about what you should be doing when it comes to landscaping your home. Remember, it takes the first step to get started, and the more you progress, the sooner your project is finished, so try your best to figure out what you want out of your home's landscape and transform your home.


Wildflower Turf has established a successful method of producing "Wild Flower Turf" using its unique soil-less turf production system.
The result is a top quality product that is easy to handle and lay. There is no wastage during laying as the rolls are strong enough to handle robustly without breaking up.
The roots of the turf bind together to form a thick mat, that acts as a weed blanket suppressing the development of weed seed inherent in the soil. Once installed the undamaged roots establish up to five times faster than conventional turf.

We love our new front and backyard!
Thanks to Josh and his team, our small backyard has been transformed in to a beautiful sanctuary. Our front yard is also vastly improved.
My husband and I really enjoyed working with Josh because he has a strong design sense, and is also a major plant expert. He knows every plant and flower and can tell you whether it will thrive in your garden or not. He's also just a cool guy and fun to talk to. Hector and Marcos installed our gorgeous bluestone patio, and worked with us to make it to our exact specification. They worked hard, and kept a good attitude and smiles throughout the process.
Precision landscaping really lives up to their name. Our patio and plantings were installed with precision. We also had them build us a planter box, which matches our fence.
They arrived on-time and finished the job as quoted. When we had various concerns along the way, Josh was there to talk us through everything. It was nice to have it be a collaborative process. We ended up adding some things, and felt his pricing was fair.
We highly recommend working with Precision for your next landscaping project. I'm sure we'll be working with them again in the future!

IPB University's KKN-T Team Creates Landscape Design as a Plan for Ecotourism at KWT Griya Wanakarya Permai
The IPB University Real-Thematic Working Lecture Group (KKN-T) created a landscape design as a basic pattern in making ecotourism at the Women Farmers Group (KWT) Griya Wanakarya Permai (GWKP) RW-12, Bubulak Village, Bogor, West Java. The design was led by Frisma Aulia Ardhana, a student of IPB University who is a member of the KKN-T of Bubulak Village.
IPB University's KKN-T student coordinator, Gandhi Satrio Wibowo, said the creation of a landscape design was aimed at developing the potential for ecotourism based on agricultural education and family tourism in a sustainable manner. In an area of approximately 2800 square meters, IPB University KKN-T students plan landscape design concepts, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional.
"Various points in this area have unique and interesting concepts that can attract visitors. For example, by building agricultural education facilities for children, or for the general public (commercial)," said Gandhi.
In addition, he continued, there are other location points including the construction of fish ponds with biofloc systems adjacent to tourist points for the elderly, chicken farms, and trigona bee cultivation for honey producers.
"Currently, in the KWT GWKP area, various kinds of vegetables are being planted, including mustard greens, pakcoy, red lettuce, karina lettuce, tomatoes, chilies, zucchini and others. Various preparations for planting are carried out until later on to harvest. Apart from producing eco-enzymes and making chicken coops," he added.
The ecotourism development at KWT GWKP is sponsored by the Erajaya company which is realizing its corporate social responsibility (CSR).
"It is hoped that the making of a landscape design in the KWT GWKP Bubulak area can be useful for KWT administrators and local residents. So that this place can be used as ecotourism and ultimately can improve the quality of the surrounding economy," said Prof. Tony Sumaryada, Field Advisory Lecturer (DPL) KKN Group -T IPB University.

Speaker Jim Bartos & Ana Pavord
A Special Event for the Friends of the Bridport Literary Festival
You are invited to listen to two talks by highly knowledgeable and interesting horticulturalists:
2.30pm THE ORNAMENTAL WILDERNESS IN THE ENGLISH GARDEN by Jim Bartos
This book was published in 2022 by Unicorn and covers a fascinating subject in garden history. While today we may think of a wilderness as a wild place, unspoiled by human intervention, in the 17th and 18th centuries a garden wilderness referred to a highly cultivated part of a formal garden, a place bounded by trees or high hedges with paths and occasional cultural delights within – statues, fountains or a summer house in the classical style. In its mature form, the wilderness constituted most of the garden and the setting in which all other features were placed. The wilderness was shady and private, a place for retreat as well as social activity, with an apparent naturalness achieved through artifice. Jim’s illustrated talk explores the design and development of the English garden wilderness and its importance in the 17th and 18th century.
Jim Bartos was awarded a PhD in Garden History from Bristol University in 2014. From 2015 to 2020 he was Chairman of the Gardens Trust, a national charity devoted to the conservation of historic parks and gardens in England. He has published in the journals Garden History and Die Gartenkunst. Over the past 25 years he has created a new garden in Dorset.
3.30pm Tea and Cakes
4:00pm THE SEASONAL GARDENER by Anna Pavord

Building Center No.3 (BC3) is a group of interdisciplinary design professionals occupying the space where research, performance and aesthetics converge. Architecture, Interior Design and Landscape Design are the three principal creative disciplines that help shape the built environment. BC3 probes and fuses design ideas whose origins may begin in either discipline but seeks to find elements of expression in all three. Underpinning the practice is a preoccupation with Water and Energy: their use and conservation over the life cycle of each project. We collaborate with our clients to create the design; we predict its performance; we measure its impact on the environmental and we track those metrics to improve our future solutions. Architecture Building Center No. 3 applies the most current knowledge and research tools available in the design and construction disciplines to deliver the client sustainable solutions from a cradle-to-grave perspective. Architecture and design are produced with a sensitivity that address issues of regionalism and appropriate technology while meeting the performance demands of the client and mitigating negative impacts to the environment. Landscape Our approach to landscape design is centered on environmental stewardship while seeking creative solutions that emphasize the use of indigenous plant species, water conservation and low maintenance. Where landscape meets the built environment we strive to enhance the user’s experience and complement the design of adjacent structures. Interiors In the interior design for both commercial and residential clients we reaffirm our dedication to sustainable solutions. In addition, we provide our clients with a package of services that includes designing within the client’s aesthetic, procurement services for furnishing, fixtures and equipment coupled with experienced staff during the construction administration phase to ensure the design meets the expectations in terms of performance and appearance. By having architects and interior designers in-house we are able deliver projects that have a high degree of technical quality along with great design.

Share your ideas for Maidstone Park
Published on 03 November 2020
Maidstone Park has had many faces since it was opened in 1908 and it’s going to change again.
Following our community consultation in 2018 through the Long Term Plan, you told us that it was important that the visual and environmental amenity values of the park (e.g. picnic areas and walking tracks) were protected through any redevelopment or transformation of the park.
We’ve taken that feedback on board and are committed to creating a multi-purpose sports park, which will be a focal point for recreation in the city.
We’re working closely with the sports teams and clubs already associated with the park but we’d love to hear your ideas too. If there’s something you would like to see at the Maidstone Community Sports Hub, let us know this month at email@example.com
After that, the draft concept designs will be developed. To read everything we've shared so far and to keep up-to-date with the project, go to upperhuttcity.com/maidstone-hub or follow us on Facebook, @UpperHuttCityCouncil

Tobermore, world-class paving and walling manufacturer, has launched new linear paving product ‘Artro’.
Artro is an innovative plank paving range which is inspired by the intimate scale of traditional European clay pavers. With creativity at its core, Artro’s strength lies in its ability to adapt its look depending on the colour, laying pattern or jointing material used.
This linear paving product has the ability to enhance both contemporary and traditional schemes. Artro is a range that presents a world of possibilities, available in seven vibrant colours, four cool tones and three warm tones. Its advanced PrimeTop surface ensures it retains its original appearance for longer.
Artro is 80mm deep and trafficable. It can cope with the demands of light and commercial vehicle overrun which makes it the ideal paving solution for commercial, public realm and residential schemes.
The slender product shape offers unique aesthetic appeal, creating the impression of space by producing a lengthening or widening effect to the area in which it has been laid.
David Henderson, Managing Director at Tobermore commented:
“I am proud to launch Artro Linear Paving to the market. Modern plank-style paving has been up and coming on the landscaping scene in recent years. But we take this trend to the next level with the launch of Artro. This range provides a world of possibilities for landscape designers”

NOCH PROFI Series Deciduous Trees - Meet Highest Quality Standards.
The tree trunks are elaborately painted by hand so no shining plastic surface is visible. To give the tree more volume, all branches are covered with fine wool before they are flocked. The high-quality NOCH leaves are used as flock material. This specially milled and elaborately painted material is similar to the leaf shapes and colours of a real tree. Like in nature, only the fine branches of the PROFI trees have leaves. During the skilful flocking by hand, stronger branches are excluded. The NOCH PROFI tree range meets highest quality standards. Convince youfself of these trees when visiting your dealer.
In real life not all trees are equal. The same is true of a model landscape, too. For the trees in the background of a layout the quantity is more important than the exclusivity. Therefore you can use the inexpensive NOCH trees in this area. They can be even a little bit smaller thus giving an interesting effect of depth and make your layout look larger. Hovever, at exposed spots, you should allow yourself - and your layout - to plant some high quality, exclusive NOCH trees. The great effect will fully make up for the higher prices! You should plant the big trees in the front area of your layout. For example, the 19 cm high NOCH Chestnut Tree (ref. 21800) is a particularly imposing specimen!


Are you thinking of renovating your patio?
If so, you’re in the right state of mind. Outdoor living spaces, or patios, are becoming more and more popular all the time. But to get the most out of yours, you need some know-how about what to include in the patio remodel.
Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. Below are some of the most crucial patio remodel inclusions you should consider.
Ready to enhance your outdoor space? Let’s get started.
A water feature can provide a beautiful focal point to your patio. Also, it can provide soothing background noise to your space. When selecting your water feature, think about what type of sound you would like and whether you would like an open or a closed part.
When installing the feature, ensure it is appropriately connected. You wouldn’t want to have any unwanted leaks. Add any plants or other décor elements you’d like to the area for a complete look that you can enjoy for years.
A BBQ area will create a great outdoor space for entertaining family and friends. First, you must choose the type of BBQ you want, such as a gas or charcoal grill. You must also decide what kind of outdoor appliances will best suit your needs.
Add seating and a fire pit to complete your patio and home remodel. Be sure to factor in a space for your grilling utensils, like tongs and a long-handled spatula.
Finally, check your local laws and regulations before you start remodeling. Make sure that you stick to proper regulations when it comes to size and placement.
Incorporating a kitchen into your outdoor space makes for a more functional and enjoyable outdoor area. When remodeling an outdoor kitchen, be sure to consider the primary use of the kitchen.
You can include a stone countertop, built-in grill, range hood, sink, and refrigerator. Depending on the space and budget, you can add a bar area, pizza oven, or even built-in coolers. Adding quality lighting can enhance the atmosphere and beauty of the area.
Of course, the connecting area to your outdoor kitchen must also be a priority. If you’re looking for ideas, shop these French doors for the perfect solution and be a great starting point. With all these elements in mind, you can create a unique and stylish patio for an outdoor kitchen.
Dining Al Fresco
When considering this, you want to make sure you have all the right elements. Start by including plenty of seating options, such as chairs and benches.
Comfortable outdoor furniture can make all the difference in the atmosphere. Whether you like to set up a formal dining area or prefer a more casual lounge-style space, select pieces that reflect your outdoor style.
Plan for a covered or shaded space to make the area more comfortable in the hot summer months. With the right patio design touches, your patio will be the perfect location for your al fresco dining experience.
Doing Your Patio Remodel Right
Doing your patio remodel right is essential to making your backyard dreams come true. With some planning, research, and hard work, you’ll have an outdoor space you can take pride in.
If you need help with any part of the process, contact experienced professionals, such as a Naples patio contractor. They can make sure you get the outcome you’re looking for.

The Kew Garden in London is absolutely stunning; you don't want to miss it! The whole garden covers an impressive 326 acres, and has more than 50,000 different species of plants Kew Garden also has some famous buildings such as the Pagoda, the Temperate House and the Palm House. All over the garden there are incredible sights such as the Japanese Gateway, the Waterlily Pond, the Treetop Walkway and Kew Palace. So, you need all day walk in a this amazing garden to explore all the interesting attraction it has!! Not a bad way to spend a day, I think! The garden itself is located next to the river Thames, 10 miles west of central London. Parking in the area is very limited, so it's best to go there by public transportation. Kew Gardens Station (District Line - Richmond branch and London Overground) is the closest London Underground station, and is in zone 3. Exit the station, cross Sandycombe Road at the crossing and walk down Lichfield Road (opposite) to reach Victoria Gate.


The Prayer chapel at Rain Forest International School has finally risen from the ground.
Before the foundation goes in, the angles for the walls and the curves of the foundation must be calculated using all these strings.
After almost two years of discussions and planning, construction of the chapel itself began in early July.
The foundation is poured in two stages - a wide lower foundation is at the bottom.
The upper foundation is narrower and taller wall that allows for forming a level floor. Here it is being poured.
The foundation is complete and it is time to fill in the dirt to allow the floor to be poured.
With the floor complete it is easy to see the area that will be enclosed.
The unique shape and “walls” allow for a sense of privacy while still allowing visual contact with those inside.
The bottom layer of bricks is carefully positioned so that the angles of each column will form the "open walls"
The walls are taking shape and an idea of the final look can be seen .
Meanwhile the garden that provides an entry into the space is growing and looking wonderful.
The prayer garden is also growing and flowers are beginning to abound.
Stay tuned – hopefully the chapel will have a roof within the next couple of months.
