Word Root of TERRACE
The Latin word terra, meaning “earth,”“land,” or “ground,” gives us the root terr. Words from the Latin terra have something to do with the earth or land. A territory is an area of land ruled by a particular government. A terrace is a piece of land with a flat top. Anything terrestrial lives on land and not in water.

One of Beijing’s must-see attractions, the Summer Palace is a lavish imperial playground whose grounds are large enough to have an almost rural feel. Once the private haunt of the notorious Empress Cixi, it functions today as a lovely public park, two-thirds of which is taken up by Kunming Lake. During the hottest months of the year, the imperial court would decamp to this perfect location, the site surrounded by hills, cooled by the lake and sheltered by judicious use of garden landscaping.
The palace buildings, many connected by a suitably majestic gallery, are built on and around Wanshou Shan (Longevity Hill), north of the lake and west of the main gate. Many of these edifices are intimately linked with Cixi – anecdotes about whom are the stock output of the numerous tour guides – but to enjoy the site, you need know very little of its history: like Beihai, the park, its lake and pavilions form a startling visual array, akin to a traditional Chinese landscape painting brought to life.


Trees vary enormously in size and shape, but most trees can be lit very well using fittings with 36° or 60° beam angles. Narrow trees such as Silver Birch, Scots Pine and most conifers work best with a 36° light source. Medium spreading trees like Robinia, Cherry or Lime need lights w...

With Spring around the corner, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your next garden project. Here, we’re going to delve in to a subtle yet essential aspect of architecture and landscaping – Threshold Drains. These sleek, unassuming channels play a crucial role in managing water flow at transition points, adding both aesthetic charm and functional efficiency to your spaces.
Threshold drains, also known as channel drains or linear drains, are specialised drainage systems designed to efficiently manage water runoff in various architectural and outdoor settings. Unlike traditional point drains, which are localised and often placed in a central area, threshold drains are long, narrow channels typically installed at the transition points between different surfaces, such as doorways, driveways, patios, or other areas where water might accumulate.
Form Meets Function:
Picture this: A seamless, uninterrupted floor surface, unmarred by unsightly puddles or water seepage. This is the magic of threshold drains. They elegantly blend into your design, ensuring that water is efficiently directed away from doorways and entry points, keeping your interiors dry and pristine. This stunning installation (above) from Gardens of Elegance featuring our Black Threshold Drain, is the definition of seamless design details!
The aesthetic is in the details, and threshold drains are the epitome of this philosophy. Their sleek, linear design seamlessly integrates into various architectural styles, whether modern, traditional, or somewhere in between. With Alusthetic you can embrace the beauty of functionality with drains that complement your design.
Versatility in Application:
One of the standout features of threshold drains is their adaptability. Install them in bathrooms, kitchens, or any area prone to water exposure indoors. Outdoors, let them redefine your walkways, driveways, and even poolside or hottub areas. Wherever water flows, these drains follow suit.
Cleaning and maintenance of Threshold drains is easy and hassle free. The removable grates and modular systems make upkeep a breeze. We recommend lifting the grates and removing any leaves or debris from building up, this ensures continuous functionality and reliability.
Investment in Longevity:
We consider threshold drains as an investment in the longevity of your property. By effectively managing water, these drains play a pivotal role in preventing structural damage, preserving the integrity of your surfaces, and ultimately safeguarding the value of the property.
In the big picture of design and functionality, threshold drains are the champions, quietly working to enhance the beauty and resilience of your spaces. Creating seamless outdoor landscapes, these unassuming channels are a testament to the marriage of form and function. Optimise your drainage in stylish and functional way with Alusthetic Threshold Drains.


How to Make the Most of Your Pool Setting
By Eric Herman
There was a time when swimming pools were relatively limited in terms of their aesthetic bandwidth. They were either kidney, rectangular, or lazy-L shaped, with white plaster, blue waterline tile, bullnose coping, and—if you were lucky—maybe tile mosaics depicting fish.
These days, however, that has changed completely. Swimming pools and the landscape elements that surround them can now be seen as a rapidly expanding architectural art form with a myriad of features, colors, materials, shapes, sizes, functionality, and stunning sculptural beauty.
As a homeowner considering this spectrum of creative possibilities and lifestyle benefits, the first thing you should know is that when working with the thoughtful artists and artisans who create pools and backyard environments, you are the most important member of the project team and should regard the process as both a challenge and an opportunity to make your dreams a reality.
You’ll find that when you approach the building process with a basic understanding of design fundamentals, you’ll be better prepared to collaborate with the designer and/or builder in an informed way. Here are some key components to the design process you should keep in mind when planning your new pool.
In many situations, this discussion must begin with architecture. Because swimming pools and associated landscape elements are adjacent to your home, sometimes it is best to create a harmony between the home and landscape. When done, this creates a form of seamless integration where the exterior spaces become graceful extensions of the indoor living areas. Continuity of this type is typically accomplished by using similar architectural lines, textures, colors, and specific stylistic elements.
When using swimming pool design to enhance a setting, it is crucial to figure out how water directs the eye and links your personal space with the surrounding environment. Water’s ability to attract attention is no secret. The Romans knew this, as did designers from Islamic cultures, the Renaissance architects, and modern masters like Frank Lloyd Wright. But you don’t have to be a design professional to intuitively know that where water exists in a landscape it is noticed. Quite simply, there is something in human nature that is drawn to water.
Using that fundamental quality, many designers have learned how to use water to influence the way we see the surrounding environment. Perhaps the most dramatic example can be found in the advent of the vanishing edge. Also known as an infinity pool or negative edge, this familiar effect in which water flows over the edge of the pool has become one of the iconic features of today’s swimming pool designs.
Here’s why: Knowing that we will almost always look at water in a space before anything else, designers use the flat surface of water to draw the eye toward an artificial horizon created by water disappearing over an edge. By leading the eye toward that mesmerizing edge, the scene beyond the water’s surface takes on increased significance and interest. When that effect is used over an ocean, lake, or river, the distant body of water actually becomes a part of the private landscape. In other words, the far-off setting is inextricably linked to the close-up, intimate view.
Certainly, the water-on-water application of the vanishing edge is perhaps its most common use, but when the edge leads to a verdant landscape, perhaps a nearby stand of trees or a mountain vista, then it serves to bring the distance into the foreground. This principle is not limited to vanishing-edge design, however. Because water embodies such remarkable reflective qualities, even the simplest design can be used to interpret nearby architectural structures, landscapes, or works of art.
Consider the dimensional beauty that the reflecting ponds in front of the Taj Mahal or in the Mall of Washington contribute to the legendary edifices they reflect. In a residential setting, that same principle can be applied to a beautiful tree, statue, or the house itself. An experienced designer will take the dimensional beauty of water and combine it with natural environs for a flawless look.
Perimeter-Overflow Pools and Water Features
The vanishing edge is just one of the numerous examples of water-in-transit designs. There are many designs that use this basic principle of fluid edges and gravity to create effects that yield enduring excitement and beauty. Some are known as perimeter overflows, where the surface of the water is either raised above grade or flush at deck-level, and the water flows over the edge into a simple slot and disappears. In other situations, a waterfall, scupper, or spillway creates interest with an added benefit of the sound of falling water. In these designs, the movement of water over an edge draws attention to the geometry of the structure while the finish materials over which the water flows add to the reflective qualities that exist on the different elevations of the surface.
These are just a few of the design elements that you may want to keep in mind when interviewing a pool designer. The possibilities are limited only by the imaginations of the designers and homeowners—and, of course, the budgets! In fact, along with the many choices in materials, lighting, plant selection, fire features, outdoor dining areas, shade structures, and the myriad of other possible features that are available, this discussion could easily consume many more pages.
All of this, and more, is why you owe it to yourself to think about a variety of items before making a final decision. Along with the wide range of design possibilities, you need to take the time to find a designer and/or contractor who will use his skills to not only execute your ideas with reliable construction practices and artistic sensitivity, but also to help you examine features you may never have envisioned as possible for your backyard.

Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias is Yosemite’s second largest sequoia grove and one of three remaining sequoia groves in the park. Covering about twenty acres and with many giant sequoias it is a popular visitors’ stop along Tioga Road.
This multi-year project includes improvements that make arriving at and exploring this magnificent grove a serene and pleasant experience, while better protecting surrounding habitat. Current trailhead amenities are inadequate and confusing for visitors and detract from the natural setting.
New universally accessible and sustainable paths will be installed, while surrounding habitat will be restored to its natural state. Picnic facilities will be upgraded, and new relocated restrooms and improved parking will help remove clutter and queues from the trailhead.
Thanks to your support the beauty and serenity of the grove with now be reflected in well designed and sustainable facilities. Habitat is protected and visitors enjoy great resources.

The story of Tennessee's state parks began more than 80 years ago when New Deal agencies worked to rebuild portions of Tennessee's eroded landscape. Along with these conservation measures, the state's early parks were created through the development of recreational areas. The Tennessee Valley Authority built dams that contributed to recreational attractions, and the Division of State Parks was started in 1937. All of these efforts in addition to Tennessee's natural beauty have resulted in 56 state parks. Through their postcard collections, the authors invite readers to discover each park's special place in Tennessee's history and landscape.


We meet Lynette at the Lady Gowrie Conference in Brisbane where we had an exhibit. Lynette had a sad tale to tell when they engaged someone to work on their playground who had no idea about Australian Playground standards and did not deliver on the brief. It had to be addressed. We went out to see the play space and saw that it could be amazing.
A large tree that nothing would grow around and was on a fairly steep slope cried out for multi level decks allowing safe access to the lower level.
The next challenge was taking out some giant sand stone blocks from the Dirt-pit and re purposing them along side a new timber pathway. We brought in some natural sandstone boulders for the dirt-pit and added a watercourse to the dry creek bed and a lovely sandstone carved bowl to catch the water. Now it all works.
In the tall circle of trees already existing we added an inner circle of boulders to make a meeting circle. We will fill the middle with large pebbles so that in winter it can be used as a family fire-pit.
Moving along Lynette and her kindy staff loved the idea of a sensory path weaving between the trees and ending in a secret corner with music. This was a delight to work on.

With the seasons changing it gets me so excited about my spring garden that will hopefully bloom. Not sure how it will turn out though since things started to bud much too soon and we never got the solid freeze we need that makes my limelight hydrangeas come back to life. Our backyard is also more on the awful side. With all the rain we have had and the unevenness of our yard made so many bare spots. I would love to just top soil it all and start from the beginning. We may make that happen I hope. The above spaces I find ever so inspiring. Oh, and Dana Wolter had a wonderful post on spring gardening that has me itching to get started already. Any advice on making a bad yard better economically? I would love some input!

Residence Parks Historic Context Statement
Project Status: Ongoing
Residence parks, also known as "garden suburbs," were an early 20th century form of housing development popular through the 1920s. They were usually built on the outskirts of San Francisco's street system (i.e., west and south of downtown) to suggest a feeling of "living in the country." Large lots, unique landscaping design, and creative advertising added to their appeal, particularly during the rebuilding efforts undertaken after the 1906 Earthquake.
Aside from housing, additional elements such as ornate entry gates, public sculptures, ceremonial stairs and fountains were added to a residence park in order to establish a sense of place. Hilly sites used curvilinear street designs to ease slopes and enhance streetscapes with trees and lush landscaping; some subdivisions contained houses designed by noted architects, such as Julia Morgan, while others provided private amenities such as a park, oversized sun dial, or pond.
The real estate developers who built these garden suburbs often imposed restrictions on them to maintain the features they had created for the landscape. However, given the highly speculative nature of these developments, not all developers were willing or able to provide every popular feature, and the degree of oversight and control they exercised varied a great deal. In some residence parks, such as St. Francis Wood, the developer kept control over all aspects of construction, landscaping, and maintenance for many years. In others, such as Jordan Park, the developer exercised limited control for a short time.
The phenomenon of residence parks in San Francisco was not restricted to the early 20th century but continued well into the 1950s and 60s. For the purposes of this historic context statement, the following residence parks are the focus of this study:
- Jordan Park (established 1906)
- West Clay Park (1910)
- Ingleside Terraces (1911)
- Forest Hill and Forest Hill Extension (1912)
- St. Francis Wood (1912)
- Lincoln Manor (1913)
- Sea Cliff (1913), and
- Balboa Terrace (1920)
These examples were selected to provide a range in size, topography, length of completion, and developer experience, vision, and execution.
Department staff and the consultant presented a final draft to the Historic Preservation Commission on April 7, 2021. After incorporating feedback from the HPC and the public, department staff will finalize this context for adoption.
The consultant made several presentations on residence parks during the writing of the historic context statement. These include:
- Northern California Chapter, Society of Architectural Historians - April 2013
- Society of American and Regional Planning History – November 2015
- SPUR – January 2016
- West Portal Branch Library – February 2016
- Presidio Terrace Walking Tour – June 2016
- Westwood Park Walking Tour – October 2016
- Hart Howerton – March 2017
- San Francisco History Association – March 2017
- Western Neighborhood Project - August, September, October 2020
A public presentation of the Residence Parks Historic Context Statement held at the Planning Department was made by the consultant on August 24, 2017. The presentation included an overview of the development of residence parks neighborhoods accompanied by historic photographs, maps, and current images. The event was advertised through the Planning Department website, SF Heritage, and the Western Neighborhood Project’s website.

Top 5: August Gardening Tips
August is underway but the summer is far from over. There is still much to be done to make sure your garden is ready for the seasons to change. Here are our top 5 tips to keep your garden looking fresh and ready for the fall:
- Stop fertilizing perennials, trees, and shrubs. Let them wean off those nutrients (they’ll still get some nutrition from the ground) but continue to water them before they prepare to go dormant for the winter.
- Deadheading is crucial at this point. Take the dead flowers off perennials such as day lilies and remove any yellowing leaves from the drought. Note: do not dispose of any diseased leaves in your compost pile; it will just cycle the disease back through your garden.
- If there’s a period of no rain, keep up with your watering. Summer might be closing down, but they still need the hydration.
- Fall is an excellent time to plant trees, shrubs, and perennials. The weather isn’t quite so hot during the fall, so the new plantings won’t dry out so quickly. Start thinking of what you’d like to plant when the weather cools off. Remember that new plantings will still need to be watered frequently to help them establish their roots.
- Leave your rhododendrons and azaleas alone. Rhododendrons and azaleas are early spring flowering shrubs; they’ve already begun to set their buds for next year’s blooms, so leave them be.

How to Install a Pondless Waterfall from a Kit
Installing a pondless waterfall from a kit is a do-it-yourself project that is simple enough for the weekend warrior to tackle. In addition, pondless waterfalls also attract a variety of birds and can add beautiful imagery to your landscape while not requiring too much space.
Plan Your Pondless Waterfall
Before you begin construction, you will need to make sure that there is an available source of electricity to power your pondless waterfall. Next, choose a spot that is visually appealing to you, make sure that you have an area at least 5 feet by 5 feet, and can dig at least 18 inches deep. Then, dig the hole that will fit the pump unit and filter. Make sure that this submersed pump unit can sit below the top of the hole without being seen.
Laying Down the Liners
Now, remove the pump unit from the hole and prepare to lay down the liners. You will first want to lay down the liner used to prevent natural gases from entering the water. The next layer is a waterproof membrane liner that is used to contain the water in your pondless waterfall. Make sure that the edges of the liners overlap the edges of the hole. This ensures that water is not spilled and also keeps dirt and debris from falling into the water reservoir and pump.
Cover the Pump and Filter
With the liners in place, put the pump unit and filter back into the hole. Run the flexible PVC pipe out of the hole and run it to the top of your waterfall unit. You will need to position stones around the waterfall unit to cleverly conceal the waterfall box. Now, cover the pump unit and filter with bigger stones. As you get near the top, you can use smaller stones to fill in the gaps. You will want to give the stones a rinse with the water hose and let the water be pumped out first to ensure clear water. Trim the excess liner, reattach the pump to the hose, and enjoy your pondless waterfall.

A staple of any garden is the perennial.
These are the plants that bloom year after year,
unlike annuals that last only for one season.
At Farmer John’s Greenhouse, we offer a wide variety of perennials to maximize your budget. Our team will help to educate you on the best selection for your garden, and help you consider important factors such as sun or shade, dry soil or clay.
Since many perennials bloom for only 3 to 4 weeks each year, dying back during the winter, selection is important. With the correct balance you can enjoy staggered blooms improving the overall look of your garden.
VARIETIES TO CONSIDER:
Prominent, showy flowers for a picture perfect garden. Over a hundred varieties.
The “perfect” shady perennial; elegant, forgiving and low-maintenance.
A hardy, eloquent choice for your garden that is available in many shapes, forms, sizes, and colors.
From Blue Fescue to Zebra grass.
A timeless, classic favorite that blooms for over 100 years.
When choosing a perennial it’s important to keep in mind, that many types need a year or two to get established and make maximum blooms. The old English adage for perennials is “First year sleeps, second year creeps, and third year leaps,” but the reward of watching your perennials bloom year after year is worth the wait.
And since Farmer John’s Home & Garden only offers superior quality plants, you can be assured you will be able to enjoy their natural beauty for extended weeks or months.


Landscaping can be fun, and if you get good at it, you might even be able to make some extra money. Start by learning a few simple techniques that you can practice in your own backyard. Soon, you’ll be able to take pride in how beautiful your yard looks and might even be able to offer your services to someone else.
If you are planting in a spot that has a very large slope to it you should make sure to grow drought-tolerant plants. This is because they are on an angle and will not hold water very well. Since they are at an angle they will be able to get access to more sunlight.
When planning a landscaping project for your home, be sure that you try to completely estimate all of the costs involved. This is critical. Not only do you want to make sure that you are not stuck on a project that you cannot finish, but you also will be able to plan out what materials you need before going to the store.
One of the most important tips one can use with regards to landscaping, is to come up with a plan before you start doing anything. It is important to carefully consider exactly what you want your yard to look like,and then make a detailed plan as to what steps you will need to take.
Rather than doing too many landscaping jobs at the same time, it is wise to do one project at a time. If you take on too many projects, you are going to end up spending too much money all at once. Taking on one at a time means you can better afford each project.
To save money, you can buy items such as mulch or containers from a home-improvement warehouse. The quality of these items will not make much of a difference. However, you should go to a nursery to buy your plants and your other products such as pesticides instead of settling for low-quality products.
By properly timing what you purchase, you could save yourself a bit of money. Buy your lumber in the winter, and buy greenery later in the season. If new varieties of plants become available, wait until the price drops; this normally takes a couple of years.
If you are tired of seeing your beloved plants trampled by visitors, consider adding a footpath. Use brick, stone or wood to create a path that extends well beyond the boundaries of the area you wish to protect. A well-defined, wide path makes it clear which areas are safe as well as, which should not be trodden upon.
Hopefully, you’ve learned some new techniques after reading this article that will allow you to begin doing some landscaping. Your backyard is the best place to begin and you can experiment, so that you can create the yard you want and most people won’t see the results until you invite them to. Don’t forget to have fun while you’re learning.


Overview A very water, nutrient and space efficient concept. The keyhole garden is easy to construct. A cylinder of wire mesh is put in the middle of a keyhole-shaped wall made from bricks, stones or glass or plastic bottles. Topsoil or compost (See the composter) is then is added and plants can be planted as shown. Organic material is added to the centre inside the mesh. This retains water and nutrients that can pass through to feed the plants. The keyhole shape allows the organic material to be added easily. Design Task You are to create the most efficient keyhole garden Some questions you may want to think about:
- What is the most efficient size to build?
- How deep should the soil be?
- How big should the cylinder be?
- What is the best way to stack the compost?

Nestled amidst the azure waters of the Mediterranean, Ibiza is a haven of natural beauty, rich history, and architectural diversity. As the island continues to evolve, so does its approach to design and construction. The advent of 3D architectural visualization has emerged as a transformative tool in the realm of architecture, offering a unique way to conceptualize and bring to life the visions of architects, developers, and designers in Ibiza’s unique context.
In the past, architectural projects were often portrayed through 2D drawings and blueprints, leaving ample room for interpretation and misunderstanding. Enter 3D architectural visualization—a technology-driven innovation that has revolutionized the way stakeholders engage with architectural concepts. With its ability to create realistic, immersive, and detailed representations of buildings and spaces, 3D visualization has become an invaluable asset in the design and construction processes.
The allure of Ibiza lies not only in its breathtaking landscapes but also in its architectural tapestry—a blend of traditional Ibizan style, Mediterranean influences, and contemporary designs. 3D architectural visualization has seamlessly integrated into this creative milieu, offering architects and designers the power to craft lifelike representations of their ideas. Whether it’s a modern villa perched atop a rugged cliff, a luxurious seaside resort, or a quaint Mediterranean-inspired residence, 3D visualization breathes life into these concepts, enabling clients and investors to envision the final product before construction even begins.
One of the foremost advantages of 3D architectural visualization is its ability to bridge the gap between imagination and reality. By transforming abstract concepts into tangible visualizations, architects and clients can collaboratively explore design options, experiment with materials, and make informed decisions. This process not only enhances communication and understanding but also streamlines decision-making, reducing the likelihood of costly changes during the construction phase.
In Ibiza, where the fusion of culture and design is palpable, 3D architectural visualization serves as a catalyst for innovation. It enables architects and designers to experiment with various architectural styles, incorporate sustainable elements, and seamlessly integrate buildings into the island’s picturesque environment. The technology’s versatility allows for real-time adjustments, empowering professionals to optimize designs based on factors like lighting, shadow play, and spatial relationships.
Moreover, 3D architectural visualization has become a powerful storytelling tool. It enables architects and developers to craft compelling narratives around their projects, highlighting unique features, design philosophies, and the overall experience of the space. Whether it’s a bustling commercial hub, a serene residential complex, or a rejuvenating spa retreat, 3D architect visualization in Ibiza captures the essence of these spaces, evoking emotions and igniting imagination.
In a rapidly evolving world, where sustainability and environmental consciousness are at the forefront of design considerations, 3D architectural visualization plays a pivotal role. It allows stakeholders to assess the environmental impact of their projects, model energy-efficient designs, and explore eco-friendly materials. This aligns seamlessly with Ibiza’s commitment to preserving its natural beauty while embracing innovation.
As Ibiza continues to attract visionaries, investors, and dreamers, the integration of 3D architectural visualization showcases the island’s dedication to advancing design and construction practices. The technology not only transforms ideas into tangible visuals but also fosters a sense of community collaboration and shared understanding among stakeholders. From architects seeking to push boundaries to clients eager to see their dreams materialize, 3D architectural visualization stands as a beacon of creative exploration and informed decision-making.
In the heart of Ibiza’s ever-evolving architectural landscape, 3D visualization offers a window into the future—a future where design is not just imagined but experienced in vivid detail. As the island navigates the intersection of tradition and modernity, 3D architectural visualization serves as a guiding light, illuminating the path to sustainable, innovative, and harmonious designs that honor Ibiza’s past while shaping its future.

As my garden developed into several different levels in a variety of garden styles, it became obvious that I needed some vertical elements not only to add height to each of the gardens but also to offer this crazy, intense ‘patch work quilt’ of a garden some cohesiveness.
I began to contemplate the type of design that would work well in the garden. Because the style of my home is vanilla and architecturally cold and flat, I was determined to create a garden that had an ‘aged’ romantic/rustic look (if that’s even possible). I had recently renovated the inside of my home and used wood beams throughout: it seemed natural to duplicate that element in the garden.
By chance, one day while taking a brisk walk with a friend in Central Park, I came upon some wooden (cedar) arbors that I fell in love with. After a slew of phone calls, I was able to track down the creator of these structures. It was a fellow by the name of David Robinson who operated his business, Cutting Edge, in Trenton New Jersey.
One thing led to another and after a few sketches done by my architect, David began to build some arbors for my cutting garden. There are actually 3 arbors in this garden. The first one allows for two magnificent Rosa ‘Constance Spry’ climbers to spill all over the place with its full pale pink blossoms in early June. Unfortunately, when I planted these rose bushes, I wasn’t aware that there was a continually blooming one (or it wasn’t yet in existence). I’m chalking this mistake up to experience.
At the end of the garden, David built another arbor where a soft yellow, sweetly scented climber (I believe it is Rosa ‘Graham Thomas’) is continually in bloom until mid-fall. I love the rhythm and spacing of these 2 arbors. In the pictures , you can see how they look bare in early spring vs. later in the season when the garden is in full bloom. I can’t imagine how the cutting garden would ‘be’ without them; one dimensional and lackluster I think.
Perpendicular to these arbors is the entryway to my garden: it is sitting right on top of the edge of the driveway. Previously, I had a carpenter build an arbor made of pressure treated wood for the entryway (which I painted a lime green color). That first arbor did the trick in that it let visitors know that they were entering the garden. And like Nan mentioned in her posts, it allowed me to experiment with some wonderful climbers. But once the other 2 arbors had been built, it became apparent that my chartreuse arbor was the ‘odd man’ out.
Before the year was out, my lime green arbor was dismantled and David built a third arbor that echoed the style of the first two. On this arbor, I have one perennial vine, Bignonia grandiflora which performs beautifully each year. Although I’ve experimented with a slew of annual vines over the years, I continue to return to the purple hyacinth bean (Dolichos lablab). Somehow, the orange and purple colors with their flowers entangled from early summer throughout fall just can’t be beat. It is only when I stand gazing at the cutting garden from time to time that I fully appreciate how seamlessly they pull all of the elements of this little area together to offer a sense of completion. Over the next few days, I’ll post about the other arbors designed by David Robinson in my garden.


Using Solar Garden Lights to Enhance Your Outdoor Area
Completing a beautiful landscape project, flower garden, vegetable garden, or other outdoor space is very fun. You don’t have to travel far to practice this hobby, and you can see the fruits of your labor right from your front door.

Using Garden Lighting to Transform Your Space at Night
When you spend so much of your time tending to your garden, it’s easy to be proud of what you accomplished. Your plants thrive during the day and are an excellent addition to your outdoor area.
At night, however, you can’t enjoy the beauty that your flowers and greenery bring to your space. Adding garden lights is an elegant and easy solution so that you can enjoy the view of your landscape no matter the hour.
Choosing The Right Garden Lights for Your Outdoor Area
Depending on your vision of what you want your garden to look like at night and the limitations of your space, purchasing the right product can take time. You’ll want to go into the task with a clear idea of how the finished scene will look. You should also take note of the layout of your space. Determine what is in a range of possibilities in regards to installing your garden lights.
An electric garden light can have many limitations. For instance, electrical wiring is visually unappealing, and hiding it is no easy task. A gas-powered garden light tends to be on the expensive side and requires plenty of maintenance. How can you avoid these complications? The answer is simple – use a solar garden light instead.
What Are Solar Garden Lights?
As an alternative to electric and gas-powered outdoor lights, solar garden lights are a simple solution for illuminating your outdoor space at night. Powered by the sun, these fixtures are both cost-effective and energy-efficient.

How do Solar Garden Lights Work?
Gama Sonic’s solar garden lights each contain a replaceable lithium-ion battery pack that powers the fixture for about 1,000 charges, or 2.5 – 3 years. The monocrystalline solar panel located on top of the garden light charges the battery pack during the day. For the battery pack to complete its charge, install the fixture in an area that gets at least 6 hours of unfiltered sunlight throughout the day.
The internal sensors that are part of the solar garden light’s design can detect the change in lighting from sunrise to sunset. These sensors will automatically turn the light on and off accordingly. You never have to worry about flipping a switch or wasting power.
There is a layer of tempered glass protecting the solar panel on the light. If you wish to clean off any debris on the fixture like leaves, dirt, or snow, cleanup is easy. Simply take a damp, microfiber cloth and wipe the surface until the solar panel is clean.
Are Solar Garden Lights Waterproof?
The solar garden lights at Gama Sonic include a sturdy frame in their design that is weather resistant. You can leave them outside in the rain, and they will shine in dark and stormy weather. As long as the battery is fully charged by nightfall, these solar garden lights will provide visibility to your space after the sun goes down.
How Long Do Solar Garden Lights Take To Charge?
Gama Sonic recommends that you install your solar garden light in an area that receives unfiltered sunlight for 3-4 hours during the day. Depending on the solar garden light that you purchase, your fixture will run anywhere between 1-2 nights consistently on the Low Mode setting with a fully-charged battery.
Setting up an in-ground solar garden light is easy when you choose a Gama Sonic fixture. Your purchase includes everything needed for installation, and implementing your light takes minutes. Just find an area that receives ample sunlight during the day. Then, firmly drive the light’s stake into the ground. After that, the sun will do the rest by charging the battery so that the light is ready for nightfall.
Each of Gama Sonic’s solar garden lights includes a product manual with its purchase. This document offers step by step instructions for installation if you are having problems with your light. The experts at Gama Sonic are also here to help you with your questions. Contact us anytime if you are having trouble with your solar garden light.

Lighting designer Dean Skira explains how his Polesano street lamp for Delta Light can be used to light a multitude of different urban settings, in this movie Dezeen filmed for the Belgian lighting brand.
Polesano is Delta Light’s first large outdoor lighting system. Skira, who runs a lighting design studio in his hometown of Pula in Croatia, designed the modular street lamp to be as adaptable to different settings as possible.
“Polesano is a multi-functional urban device that provides all necessary forms of light in one single aesthetically unique structure in various different urban settings,” he says in the movie, which Dezeen shot at Skira’s studio in Pula and Delta Light’s headquarters in Belgium.
The lamp comprises a square pole, onto which multiple heads containing LEDs can be fitted. This allows it to provide different intensities and qualities of light depending on the environment that needs to be lit.
“If you have a park or a beautiful landscape setting in an urban environment, all of these different situations require different kinds of lighting,” Skira says.
The heads fitted to the pole can be angled in any direction and can be customised with a range of different optics to create different types of light – from spot lighting to flood lighting.
Skira claims that the manoeuvrability of the heads and range of optics available allow architects and designers to fine-tune the atmosphere created by the light.
“You can create various different visual environments and moods in one single space from one single position,” he explains.

Green Infrastructure for Watershed Management
Stormwater is the fastest growing source of freshwater pollution in the world. During periods of strong rainfall, sewer systems can overflow, causing contaminated water to run into rivers and lakes. As hundreds of municipalities struggle to meet water quality goals, green infrastructure solutions such as rain gardens, bioswales and restored wetlands can offer cost savings and environmentally sustainable solutions. CPIC’s Green Infrastructure for Watershed Management Working Group aims to develop financial vehicles to attract private capital to these projects.
The working group is led by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). For more information, please send an email to email@example.com.

I like this a lot... I like the fact that people create gardens where one does not expect it.
Guerilla gardening is something that we will se more and more. People want more green in the cities
and unused space can be used to produce beauty and food. And to go through the normal route to get a permission etc is going to take too much time and most likely not lead to any garden. People take the spade in their own hans and just create a garden over night! What a wonderful surprise to wake and find a garden where before it was nothing.
Peter Richasen does this as a sort of street art and has become quite well known for it too. Check out his blog and maybe you get some ideas for how to beautify your own neighbourhood...

We visited early in the morning, before the heat of the day got started. The gardens were amazing. I especially liked the roses and the rockery. It takes about 90 minutes to walk leisurely through the entire gardens. There is a self-guided tour, that gives good bits of history.

Outdoor paving – what are your stone options?Editor
From Bert’s sketching on London streets in Mary Poppins to Mia dancing down the road in La La Land, pavements have provided the backdrop for many a famous movie scene. But we decided it was high time that paving itself took the spotlight.
Porcelain. Sandstone. Concrete. Granite. There’s a plethora of options when it comes to exterior paving. And, while budget is a necessary consideration when selecting your paving material, a number of other factors also come into play.
So, if you’re torn between splashing out on porcelain or playing it safe with sandstone, we’re here to help you make the right choice.
What are the material options for outdoor stone paving?
Your choice of paving material will be impacted by the nature of your project. Commercial or domestic. Public or private. On solid ground or way up high.
Here’s a brief outline of the materials you might like to shortlist.
- Plain concrete slabs – Not the prettiest option but certainly the cheapest, these basic slabs are practical if budget tops your list of priorities and you’re only able to cater for the short term.
- Patterned concrete slabs – Surprisingly pleasing on the eye when new, they’re also at the cheaper end of the scale, but beware of false economy… the concrete deteriorates quickly and doesn’t weather well.
- Sandstone paving – Authenticity and aesthetics combine in this traditional, riven option… though over time it can react to the weather, and the thickness necessary for commercial projects makes these tiles hard to install.
- Porcelain – Strong, durable and beautiful, porcelain weighs in at the higher end of the price scale, yet its longevity, slip resistance and natural ability to withstand damage make it a sound choice for the long term.
How do I choose the right paving option?
Of course, the paving you choose has to be appropriate for the application. So, we’ve summarised our favourites for a range of projects to help guide you in your choice.
- Patios – Depending on your budget restrictions and aesthetic requirements, either porcelain or sandstone make strong choices.
- Pavements – An endlessly popular option, sawn sandstones make fantastic decorative pavements, but if aesthetics isn’t a priority then concrete paving is an obvious choice.
- Roof terraces – Strong yet lightweight, porcelain is fast becoming a popular choice, adding effortless style to roof terrace projects. (Discover why porcelain works best for roof terraces here.)
- Public spaces – While this is traditionally an area where sawn sandstones have been used, the recent launch of the V&A Exhibition Road Quarter has paved the way for porcelain in public areas.
- Playgrounds – Sawn sandstone is popular, but it’s also worth considering our golden gravel for pathways, which is both safe and aesthetically pleasing.
If you’re still struggling to reach a decision, we’d love to be of assistance – we can’t guarantee that your project will end up in the movies, but we’d love to feature it in our gallery!


Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi's Urban Planning Council (UPC), in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Environmental Agency and other Abu Dhabi government organisations, announced the launch of new planning guidelines for the Eastern Mangrove Lagoon National Park.
As the first of five national parks identified in Plan Abu Dhabi 2030, the Eastern Mangrove Lagoon National Park will have specific planning guidelines to ensure its protection and longevity. The UPC is currently formulating similar specific planning guidelines for the remaining designated reserves.
"The mangroves surrounding the city are the most important ecological source in the country and contain more biodiversities than any other area in Abu Dhabi. The environmental framework policies ensure the long-term protection of the mangrove area for future generations of citizens and visitors to Abu Dhabi," said Falah Al Ahbabi, General Manager of the UPC.
The planning guidelines require that native vegetation and supporting hydrology be retained within the National Park.

Professor di Domenico received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from The City College of New York and a Master of Architecture in Urban Design from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. He was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Rome and the recipient of private and public grants, including an NEA Design Arts grant to study the Re-Use of Urban Infrastructure. The study became one of the catalysts that helped move forward plans for the High Line Park. His professional practice, di Domenico + Partners, explores innovation and sustainability in the civic realm, and has been involved in the design of some of the most prominent new rail stations and high speed rail infrastructure, transformation of two buildings for Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the development of sustainable landscape design for the United Nations New York campus. di Domenico is also an avid painter, often creating visual commentary on current studio architecture and urban design projects. Additionally, he serves on the Board of Coney Island USA, the non-profit arts group whose goal is to “defend the honor of American pop culture” and organize the annual Mermaid Parade in Coney Island. Among numerous accolades, honors and publications, Professor di Domenico was most recently awarded the Sydney L. Strauss Award from the New York Society of Architects for outstanding achievement for the benefit of the architectural profession. He is presently a Professor of Architecture at NYIT, where he has also served as Dean of the School of Architecture and Design and Chair of the Architecture program.

From early summer until fall, the Volcano® Lipstick Garden Phlox will erupt with striking red blooms. Each flower features 5 petals that slightly overlap for a continuous look. The flowers are a bold red and have hints of burgundy near the eye where the yellow stamens are visible. This plant is a prolific bloomer that will provide vibrant color all season. The flowers grow on tall stems that have bright green foliage.
This Phlox has an upright growth habit, and the multi-branched plants have a dense structure, creating a full and lush appearance. This cultivar is much more sturdy than other varieties, and it can normally support itself without the need to be staked. Feature this beauty in beds, borders, and containers. The Volcano® Lipstick Garden Phlox grows as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 8.
Volcano® Lipstick Garden Phlox Care
Plant Phlox in full to partial sun. Choose a spot with afternoon shade when grown in warm climates. Soil should have high organic content and be moist but well-drained. Water weekly or when the top few inches of soil dry out. Keep the foliage dry when possible by watering the ground around the plant to help stave off mildew.
Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring to encourage new growth. Trim the plant back in late spring or early summer to maintain a bushy look. Deadhead the plant to maintain a tidy appearance, but the plant will not self-seed if the flowers are removed. Phlox is a clump-forming plant that can benefit from being divided every few years.
Volcano® Lipstick Garden Phlox Spacing
Volcano® Lipstick Garden Phlox grows 24 to 30 inches tall and 20 to 24 inches wide. This cultivar is resistant to powdery mildew, but it is still best to leave room for air to circulate, so space plants no closer than 24 inches apart.

Around 210 football pitches' worth of trees will be planted across Cumbria, including The Lake District National Park over the next five years
21st December 2021
At a meeting of Cumbria County Council’s cabinet members agreed to lead on the Cumbria Coastal Community Forest project as the accountable body for the project.
They will work in collaboration and partnership with Cumbria Woodlands, The National Trust, local councils and partners.
The county council will receive funds on behalf of Cumbria Woodlands (hosted by the Lake District National Park) and will manage the programme to enable delivery of the Cumbria Coastal Community Forest.
The development of a new coastal community forest in Cumbria was given the green light by Defra last month during National Tree Week (November 27 – December 5) – with a £220,000 boost from Defra’s Nature for Climate Fund to kickstart planting. This funding will see the equivalent of one tree planted for every resident in Copeland, Barrow and Allerdale.
The community forest is an ambitious and exciting new initiative that will see thousands of new trees planted along a 56-mile stretch of the western coast of Cumbria and help bring people closer to nature.
Over five years, up to 150 hectares (or around 210 football pitches) of trees, woodlands and forests will be planted, capturing around 32,910 tonnes of CO2 over the lifetime of the trees. With the aim to create around 5,000 hectares of new woodland (almost 7,000 football pitches) in the next 25 years.
These will provide direct and real benefit for people living within these communities through the development of new tree planting and woodland creation. It will offer opportunities for decarbonisation and enhance the county’s natural capital, making Cumbria a more attractive place to live and work.

Your backyard is a great place to hang out with your family and catch up on how things are going. However, if you haven’t taken care of the backyard, you likely don’t want to be out there. Instead of ignoring your backyard, put a little bit of time and elbow grease into making it a great space that everyone enjoys. Here are some ways you can make your backyard more enjoyable.
Build a Patio
If your patio currently consists of just a tiny square stoop right outside your back door, you should consider doing something more. Your family will be much more likely to want to spend time outside on a patio than on a patch of dirt.
When deciding what kind of patio you want to create, think about how you want it to look. You could do something simple like a poured concrete patio or something with a bit more personality like a paver patio. Paver patios Boca Raton take a bit more time and effort, but a skilled team can do them in one day.
Install a Fountain
If you love to sit outside and listen to the birds chirping and the wind blowing, then you’ll likely love the sound of a fountain. The gentle sound of the water flowing has been proven to have a calming effect on people. So, sitting outside on your new patio next to your fountain is a perfect way to unwind after a long, hard day.
Furthermore, adding a fountain will create an excellent habitat for animals, so you’ll likely find that you start having a lot more visitors to your yard after you install it.
You don’t want to go inside on a beautiful night just because the sun has gone down. Instead, install some outdoor lighting. When choosing your lighting, go for softer lights that gently illuminate the space around them instead of bright lights that hurt your eyes. You’ll find that the softer lights create a much more inviting environment.
