Climate types; Depending on where you live in the world, xeriscaping may already be a part of your life.
Mediterranean climates exist in a good part of the world enveloping parts of Europe like Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey.
Australia & Southern California have a typical dry climate where rainfall is rare in months other than the winter months.
The plants that are native to these areas are typical in a xeriscaping garden. They have adapted to the brief rainy periods and the long, hot summer months.
Generally they are easy care plants that demand very little except good drainage, little water and varying amounts of sunshine.
Areas of the world that experience water shortages would benefit greatly from considering planting drought tolerant plant material.
If the current climate conditions continue the way they have, water shortages will become more prevalent and the price for water will keep increasing.
Choosing plants that have adapted to low water usage are the first step towards having a successful xeriscape. These plants usually have long roots that are capable of reaching for water that is down deep.
Leaves that are able to absorb water from the atmosphere is another feature common to most xeriscape plants.
Using plants that have similar water requirements is a must when deciding which plants to use.
All the plants especially on the same irrigation valve need to have the same water needs in order to be successful.
This way you can adjust your irrigation to the same water requirements and avoid over or under watering your landscape in order to cater to different plant needs.
Check out this site, Theodore Payne Foundation, they are on the west coast and all about using natives to conserve water in the garden. Even if you are not on the west coast, you may still benefit from reading the material on their site.
You will need to choose what type of xeriscaping you will want. There are differing levels of water usage, from a Mediterranean garden with plants that you may already be familiar with to cactus and succulent gardens using virtually no supplemental water.
The Xeriscaping Front Yard Plan we present here is for a conservative front yard I designed using some succulents, plus other plant material that keeps it from looking like it belongs in the desert.
Take a look, if you like it as is, feel free to download it and install as it is. If you want to modify it, feel free to do that too, make it your own and make it fit not only your yard, but also your taste.
You can also use the same plant locations but substitute other plants you may prefer.
Assess what your situation, look at the plants you currently have and determine what their water needs are and whether they will exist within the style and water requirements of the plants you have chosen for your new garden.
Will they add to or spoil the look you are after in the garden? Can they be transplanted to another location that is better for your overall design?
You also need to assess your site, does it have full sun? Or morning sun and afternoon shade or vice versa. Is it shady all day? What relationship does the site have to the house?
If it is in the front yard, you will need to design it from the perspective of the street with the house as the background keeping in mind not to hide the home but instead to enhance the architectural features of the home.
You need to ask yourself if there is heat reflecting off of a wall, home, or other structure? The heat from some structures can have a significant impact on the temperature in the planter and some plants will not be able to stand up to it. Is is a windy site? What is the soil type?
All these factors will be clues that will point to the plants that will be able to thrive in your conditions.
Please resist the temptation to include plants that are not suited to the site because you really want them. You will only be disappointed and out the money you spent on the plants.
Other factors to consider when designing your xeriscaping garden are;
The more you consider all the factors that will come into play, the more you will be able to enjoy your finished garden.
If you take everything into consideration that will add or detract to your enjoyment of the garden and deal with them on the drawing board instead of regretting after constructing your garden that there was something you forgot to include.
This phase of your project is critical, you will be
rewarded later if you don't take any shortcuts now and really think it out.
I know, I sound like your Mother, but really, a little time taken at this stage will make all the difference later on.
I have a hard time with this too because I want sometimes to just rush through it so I can have the garden now, but be patient..."Yes Mother!"
You will need to assess your soil type and take steps to correct it accordingly. Is it clay, loam or sand? Or a combination of any two types? Drainage is a big factor when considering amending your soil.
Consider the plants you plan on using when determining what amendments to use to bring it to a condition that is favorable for growing your plants.
Common amendments include manure, compost, fertilizers organic and inorganic, mulches organic and inorganic.
The PH of your soil is something you will want to have tested to find out whether you have acidic, alkaline or neutral soil.
High or low maintenance is a big factor to consider when planning your xeriscaping garden. The key to low maintenance is always placing the right plant in the right place.
What that means is if you have a planter that is 3' wide, don't put a plant that gets 6'-8' wide in it, or else you will be in a constant battle trimming the plant back to keep it contained in the small bed.
Also using plants that are suited to the site as we discussed above. If you try to place a plant that needs sun in a shady site, you will not be happy with the results.
Follow some simple rules and you will have a xeriscaping that you can enjoy without a lot of effort to keep it going.
Depending on where you live in the world, an automatic watering system may be a necessity, in other areas it is a luxury. Whichever is your case, an automatic watering system is definitely necessary in the Mediterranean climate areas of the world.
It makes life so much easier and good plant growth and health are easier to attain. Here again, there are many choices available to you when designing your watering system.
The first decision is whether to use a drip system or sprays. Both have advantages and drawbacks. The drip is well suited to xeriscaping as the water goes directly to the plants and not the surrounding un-planted areas.
Most xeriscaping plants benefit from the
deep watering drip
offers as well.
The disadvantages are, for one, if something goes wrong with the system, you won't know it until you start to lose your plants since everything is underground or under mulch.
Spray systems have been used for a long time, the advantages are you can see if the heads are working properly as they are in sight and problems are easy to spot before you start to lose plants.
With today's adjustable sprays, you can adjust the spray
pattern to fit almost any shape planter. Disadvantages
include water wasted due to evaporation, runoff and overspray.
A good reliable controller is a must as the entire system relies on it to turn the valves on and run the program.
Xeriscaping plants cope with drought conditions by sending out long tap roots that are capable of finding supplies of water deep under the surface of the soil.
Many also have leaves that have the capability of absorbing the water from the atmosphere such as in the morning when the dew sits on the leaves.
Another feature of some plants is they have small leaves so the water that evaporates into the atmosphere is lessened.
Create a framework with your trees and shrubs when designing your garden. This framework will serve to unite the garden when the perennials or color plants are installed.
Structures will also become part of the structure of the garden.
Color in the xeriscaping garden can be achieved in several ways. Using a combination of ways to add color to your garden will result in a very interesting presentation that will keep the eye entertained as it looks at all the textures and colors.
Flowers, foliage, and trunk/stem color will all add to the variation in color in your garden.
Try to stay with a family of color, like blues, purples, & reds or oranges, yellows & reds instead of using every color in the rainbow as this results most of the time in a garden that looks disjointed instead of unifying it.
Grasses are becoming very popular and can be very dramatic in the right situation, like where the afternoon sun can be seen through the foliage.
Grasses can be nice since they can be mowed down periodically to keep them fresh and new looking.
Make sure you look for the ones that are
drought tolerant so they fit into the xeriscaping requirements with the rest of the plants.
Favorite xeriscape plants include trees Arbutus, Cercis and Palo Verde. Shrubs include Aloe, Agave, Lavender, Rosemary, Bottlebrush and Lantana.
So by now hopefully you can see that Xeriscaping can give you a beautiful garden that uses a fraction of the water that a traditional garden does.
Try to get over the mindset that comes with the idea of drought resistant landscaping and really explore the possibilities that are available with these plants.
I also hope I have shown you enough ideas that you will try and use the plan I have here or plan your own xeriscaping garden using the principles presented here.
is really satisfying to have a garden that uses so little water and
gives you so much pleasure and self satisfaction in return.
So, give it a try, you won't regret it!

BRADENTON, Fla. (WWSB) - The Bradenton City Council is moving forward on a new vision for the Riverwalk.
At a special meeting Wednesday, the Council unanimously voted to take another step towards construction on the first and second phase of the Riverwalk extension.
The Bradenton City Council just approved a 30 percent design site plan that will transform a vacant lot of greenspace to a mangrove boardwalk, a new park and even new use of the pier off of 14th Street East and Second Avenue East.
City officials have already completed the plans for the first phase, now they’re working on designing the second phase of the Riverwalk project.
The first phase covers the Downtown Bradenton area. The second phase will go from Manatee Memorial Hospital to the grass lot near Mineral Springs Park.
The initial plan for this land was to build apartments like the ones that are under construction adjacent to this lot, but the controversial decision was changed when the community showed out in numbers to keep this space green.
“We’re going to eventually connect Braden Castle, all the way to Downtown [Bradenton,]" said Councilman Bill Sanders. "So you’d be able to bicycle, walk, golf cart, all the way from that area clear to Downtown. So it’ll mix everybody together.”
The next step will be to get the proper permitting for this area. Those documents are on the agenda to be submitted on April 2.
The start of construction on phase one is scheduled for the first of August.
The renderings are below.


New York City is moving forward with plans to expand many of its pandemic-era efforts to make streets more accessible to pedestrians and bikers.
The changes are being shepherded through with the help of the city’s first public realm officer, Ya-Ting Liu, who has identified priority projects in each of the five boroughs. These projects, which tap some of the $375 million in funding earmarked to make the city “cleaner and greener,” include more pedestrian plazas on congested streets, wider sidewalks and expanded public space, such as an area below the Manhattan side of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge.
Liu is one of just a handful of public realm officers in major US cities tasked with repurposing public space, improving access to transit and making alternative transportation options like biking more accessible. The creation of the role in New York City was championed by community groups that found city agencies too difficult and time-consuming to navigate.

Or for a perfect combination of modern and classic, try red brick.
Stone wall construction goes back as far as history can remember, and for centuries these walls were built with natural stone. If you like the look of a natural stone wall, you’ll find that you have plenty of options as well. First, consider what shape you’d like. Most masonry companies will offer you a choice of cut bricks or blocks, flagstones or natural shape. Consider what texture you’d like your wall to have as well. Natural stone can be grooved, smooth or varying levels of textured. Finally, decide what type and quality of stone you want. Stone with a finer grain is for high end projects, while a garden wall will typically be a lower quality or rustic stone. The three main categories of stone are: sedimentary, which are grainy stones such as limestone or sandstone; igneous, which tend to be coarse like granite; or metamorphic, which are smoother stones including marble, quartzite and slate.
Build That Wall
Be sure to communicate clearly with your masonry and landscaping companies to ensure that your garden wall will be to your satisfaction. Pay careful attention to how stones should be stacked in order to create the right look for your garden.
Stone wall construction is a great way to add class and privacy to your garden. Don’t let the materials overwhelm you and keep you from the garden of your dreams.

The Times view on plans to plant trees for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee: Greening the Realm
The Queen’s tree-planting should inspire a nation to follow suit
Now is the season to plant trees, and yesterday the Queen and the Prince of Wales were doing their bit, tamping the soil around a copper beech at the Balmoral cricket pavilion. The Queen is by now a dab hand with the shovel and has been leaving arboreal mementos across her realm for decades. Many of the saplings she has nurtured are mighty oaks or maple, enough to shade entire parks. Now she has launched something much more ambitious: the greening of all the kingdom, with a project to mark next year’s Platinum Jubilee by getting schools, scouts, villages, cities, counties and corporates to plant trees in her honour.
In ancient times Britain was covered by forests and woods; today it has less tree

With one of the snowiest spells on record in Greater Kansas City and the continual negative spin by most of the media, I thought it was time to talk about and show all the good things about snow in our landscape and gardens.
* Snow is the “great white mulch” that insulates the ground and prevents deep frost penetration. This protection of plants’ roots from severe cold improves plant hardiness.
*Snow moderates the temperature fluctuations of our normally “manic-depressive” climate. So far we will not have to worry about frost heave — a more typical problem from our warm, then cold, snowless winters.
* Snow is simply beautiful and accentuates plants and the landscape.
The conifer garden on the north end of the Visitor Center is blanketed by snow. The yellow-needled conifer in the center is the focal point of this garden. It is the very rare Chief Joseph Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta) donated to us by Marvin Snyder of Overland Park — past president of the American Conifer Society http://www.conifersociety.org/. This pine is unique that it turns yellow in the winter and green in the summer!
The evergreen Southern Magnolias (Magnolia grandiflora) also stand out dramatically in the snowy landscape. Here the cultivar ‘Edith Bogue‘ (left) and our local selection ‘Margarite‘ (right) grace the northeastern wall of the Visitor Center. Southern Magnolias actually prefer a spot not so exposed to the winter sun in our climate. Bright sun on a very cold day can burn the leaves — some at Powell Gardens exposed in such conditions have already suffered severe leaf burn as temperatures fell below zero for nine days in a row!

Traipsing through gardens in secret…because it was actually someones front yard.
Have you ever read The Secret Garden? Growing up it was one of my favorite stories, made even better by its equally good movie adaptation. Happening upon this great wall of vines and wrought iron gate bought back lovely memories- of course I had to stop and shoot!

Arbor Day Foundation Names Northampton Tree City USA,
Growth Award Winner
The City of Northampton was recently recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation with Tree City USA status for 2016, this is the City’s 10th year receiving this award. Tree City USA status is given in honor of the City’s commitment to effective urban forest management. The City’s multi-year commitment to planning, protecting and growing the public shade tree canopy yielded an additional award – Tree City USA Growth Award. The Growth Award highlights innovative programs and projects as well as increased commitment of resources for urban forestry.
“With the increased efforts of Northampton Tree Warden Richard C. Parasiliti, Jr., the Public Shade Tree Commission, and the citizen volunteers of Tree Northampton, I am so pleased that the City is being recognized for its investment in our public trees”, said Mayor David J. Narkewicz. “The benefit provided by protecting our tree canopy is seen in many ways including, energy cost savings, traffic calming, stormwater management, cleaner air, and climate change mitigation.”
Richard C. Parasiliti, Jr., Tree Warden, echoed Mayor Narkewicz’s sentiments and added, “Both of these awards would not be possible without the continued support of the Mayor, the City Council, Public Shade Tree Commission, Tree Northampton, and the countless volunteers that have planted over 250 plus trees in the last several years. This community effort shows that we are committed to continuing to support a healthy, sustainable urban forestry program that will provide benefits for generation to come.”

It's file size is only 13 KB. Wether You ought to download This blog post to Your laptop, you can Click here. You could too download more photos by clicking the photo below or read more at here: Giannone Plumbing.
For designing the Giannone Plumbing the primary suggestions are to make little gardens. This little garden signifies a natural area that is on the front of the home as being a tiny region with various kinds of flowers which can be in a position to identify a beautiful natural place and wonderful. Then you can certainly also create a city park with no less lovely watch to the area park in case you have been impressed from the area park.
Some beautiful plants you are able to choose like bonsai trees are decorative blossoms modest, and grasses that can meet with the area region while in the park before your house. The idea that both the Giannone Plumbing is just a park that's not necessarily inexperienced. This means a house backyard model or design that can utilize other ideas, making a small pool, which can be not a large amount of use green plants, but only to optimize water's event and electricity in-it.
In addition to the tiny share you may also produce sebuaha small waterfall or possibly a modest feature that is employed with normal concepts, such as the usage of wood as being a water flushed or from the utilization of rocks, where the water will soon be revealed more obviously as well.


To draw a realistic outdoor scene such as a forest or a garden, it is important to draw bushes as well as trees, grass and smaller plants. Bushes have a round shape and low-to-the ground growth pattern. Begin with a circle, divide it into fourths, and use this as your guide to the bush's shape to create a realistic-looking bush to add to your outdoor scene.
Use the pencil to sketch a circle the size that you want your bush to be.
Add two lines going through the middle of the circle, one going vertically and one horizontally across the circle. The sketch should now appear like a scope sight.
Following the outline of the circle on the top portion of the circle, begin to sketch a loopy "leaf-like" outline. This will create the appearance of fluffy leaves and branches. The loops should be facing upwards for the top portion of the bush.
Draw several loopy lines going into the top portion of the circle. This will add the appearance of growth layers within the bush.
Using the same loopy line technique that you used for the top portion of the bush, begin outlining the bottom portion of the bush, having the loops point downward, toward the original circle.
Shade the bush as dark as you want it to be. Add fruits or flowers in the middle of the bush.

A yard is all your own, a spot for relaxation, entertaining, and play. If your landscaping could use a bit of a facelift but you’ve never tackled this kind of designing before, you might be overwhelmed by all the choices you can make. Luckily, we have some simple tips for you in order to help plan your next yard design!
Take Stock of the Property
Before you start anything, do a walk-around and consider what you like and don’t like about the space. Make sure you bring a pad of paper, so you can make a list of what’s salvageable (like that 100-year old oak tree) and what’s not (the sagging rotten deck). You should also make note of any permanent storage you have (like sheds and garages) and the position of these spots. Do they need to be moved or camouflaged? This is the point when you should also factor in any geographical and legal considerations. Think about the wildlife that may eat new plants or maximum fence heights/ projects that may require permits.
The next step is to make a plan, on paper. This provides a birds-eye view of your overall yard project, which can then be started logically in steps. When drawing up the plans, draw bubbles to represent generic spaces like your patio, playground, garage, and pool. Once you have these, link the bubbles together with pathways, lawn areas, and gardens. You’ll find that having these drawn out on paper can help you notice the relationships between spaces allowing you to get every individual space to flow into the next. Think of how people will move from the front yard to the back or from a primary patio to a secondary patio. If you’re having trouble with this, consider hiring a professional who can open your eyes to options you may not think of!
Any good garden design will have a focal point or series of focal points to capture attention. This is an easy principle to put in place for beginners just starting to work with landscaping. The point is to draw your eye and move the attention through the landscape; creating a visual journey. These focal points can be a sculpture, a stunning plant/ tree, or maybe a series of shrubs. Make sure to include your focal point(s) in your plan so you can see how they work in the space.
Now that the planning stages are done, it’s time to get your hands dirty! However, remember that this is not something you’ll finish in a week. Part of creating a landscape is slowly developing your yard and enjoying the process! From your master plan, start with a small flower bed. Go out and work on it for an hour or two when you have the time and don’t worry about filling everything up right away. Giving yourself some time to see how things develop is key to the gardening process. Plants will grow and things fill spaces in ways you may not have anticipated. Take your time and do it in pieces so you are happy with the final results.
Focus on Scale and Pacing
This can be the trickiest principle in garden design for beginners, but scale and pacing will give your yard that pulled-together look you want. Variations in size, shape, and colour, require some considerations. Try tall plants against a building or in the back of a flowerbed, and paths that lead people through the space. As a tip, try to repeat some elements throughout, whether it’s a certain plant, a common colour, or even a shape, so there’s a sense of cohesion. Then add an occasional element that’s different from the rest of the landscape so it will stand out and keep your garden from looking too matchy-matchy.
Gardening is a slow process that encourages you to work on your patience. You don’t want to make the mistake of slapping a patio down here and a garden border there as your time and budget allow. Consider your garden in a holistic way, considering how you want to use the yard and how much time you want to spend working in it. This is an extremely rewarding process and, if you follow these simple tips on how to plan your yard, you’ll love every minute of it.

Domaine Grange Cochard
Chateau Grange Cochard was built in 1759 but it sits on older foundations. The lane outside the house is a Roman road. Little used today, it was a major route featuring on the Antonine maps of 280 AD. In medieval times the older house was a staging post belonging to the ancient order of the Knights Hospitaller. They sheltered pilgrims on their way from the great churches of Autun and Cluny to Lyon and beyond.
Today the vineyard consists of 8 hectares of Morgon. Our vines are some of the finest in the area and include the top of the prestigious Côte du Py, the ancient volcanic outcrop first planted with vines by the Romans. Our current vines are themselves mostly very old, between 40 and 100 years of age. These gnarled and twisted plants give low yields, great intensity and complexity, with deep root systems penetrating the different layers of soil and rock.
Outside in the park surrounding the chateau are numerous unusual trees planted in the middle of the nineteenth century as an arboretum. They lead down to the Morsille, a stream which comes from the hills above us and forms a wildlife corridor down to the river Sâone.
We have encouraged the park and the stream to form a wildlife haven with many species of birds and wild flowers in the old meadow and woodland, and are planting new specimen trees for the future.
Sadly, little remains of the garden’s fountains and water features, but in 2013 we completed the restoration of the chateau’s old orangery.


Helleborus purpurascens - Often the first flowers can be seen low to the ground in December (usually before the new foliage appears), but they continue to open as the red-spotted stems grow, right through until early spring. A variable but very pretty deciduous clump-forming perennial that makes excellent groundcover in partial shade.
Pettifers has a strong structure that makes it stunning in the winter. When the garden wakes up in late winter, it brings aconites and snowdrops, then hellebores. Shortly after, the meadow of snake’s-head fritillaries stretches out, followed by tulips // Great Gardens & Ideas //
Acanthus spinosus is an herbaceous perennial. There are other species but this is my favourite as I prefer it's more dissected, thistle-like leaves. A mature clump in flower is an impressive site. Scroll down this board for further details.
But garden designer Sarah Price, who is also co-designer of London's Olympic Park, created a ravishingly pretty meadow at the show this year, using her fine art background to compose the colors, textures, and shapes of her plants into a tangible design that earned a surprise medal. There are groups among her wildflowers and there are individuals, but they never become a mob.


Read more to learn about the new Maverick Park on La Costa Canyon's campus!
The La Costa Canyon community has created the Maverick Park in the midst of time spent away from school during the pandemic. The grassy field formerly known as the ‘meadow’ is now equipped with features that will encourage a sense of community and help create a fun environment for all Mavericks on campus.
Since Mavericks aren’t on campus to see the park with our own eyes, principal Reno Medina explains the different aspects that make up Maverick Park.
“MavPark is a ‘park’ within the school that takes up the upper half of the meadow. The park is a flexible space that features trees, picnic tables, bocce ball court, cornhole courts, ping pong tables, and a grass area for many activities. The plan is to host a food station near the park with music,” said Medina.
The main goal in creating Maverick Park was to utilize the empty space on campus and turn it into something everyone in the Maverick community could enjoy.
“We hope MavPark will bring together students to increase a sense of community. In addition, as you walk into the front entrance of LCC, it is the first thing you see. We wanted to utilize the empty ‘Meadow’ space for something that would appeal to students and our community,” said Medina.
Medina knew that it was important to hear from the community to make sure the park would be a beneficial part of campus for years to come.
“We listened to some suggestions from students, parents, and teachers about needing a space for students on our campus that provided a fun atmosphere while adding to the aesthetics of LCC. We formed a planning committee to provide feedback along the way to include stakeholders and we worked with students, LCC staff, district representatives, the LCC Foundation, and architects to design the park,” said Medina.
With the help of the community, the park was finished in September of 2020. The Maverick Park gives students and staff members another thing to look forward to when we are eventually allowed to return to in person school together.

The Grow Native initiative is a community-wide effort led by the Town of Kiawah Island to increase the use of native plants in landscaping projects across the Island with an overall goal of improving wildlife habitat. A part of the initiative, the Town has organized and published the Grow Native plant database, a searchable online database of native trees, shrubs, perennials, vines, ferns, and grasses. The Grow Native plant database provides detailed information on growing conditions, size, flowering information, salt tolerance, deer resistance, and the wildlife value for each plant. The database was designed to help promote the use of native plants on Kiawah Island and serve as a resource for residents, landscapers, landscape architects, landscape designers, and other entities There are currently 196 plants in the database, but the list will be expanded over time.

DescriptionLismore Gardens with Private TransportationOn this half-day tour with private transportation, you will be picked up at the port in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. With spectacular views towards Lismore Castle and the surrounding countryside, the historic Lismore Gardens are set on seven acres of rolling countryside and are a delight to see. Enjoy the freedom to explore the beautiful gardens on your own.The Upper Garden is a good example of the 17th century walled garden that was first constructed here by the 1st Earl of Cork, around 1605 AD. The outer walls and terraces remain the same but the plantings have changed to match the tastes of those living within the Castle.The Lower Garden, in contrast, was mostly made in the 19th century and is informal with shrubs, trees, and lawns. There is also a stately Yew Avenue, even older than the garden, that probably dates to the 17th Century. It is thought that Edmund Spencer may have written his the Faerie Queen while being inspired by this view.After having seen the garden, there is time left to walk to the bridge to view nearby Lismore Castle, which is still a private residence, and take pictures (it is not possible to visit the castle).From Lismore Gardens, the excursion returns to the ship in Cobh.Please Note: The visit to the Lismore Gardens is self-guided.

Where Do Medjool Date Palms Thrive?
As the cold hardiest of the date palm varieties, the Medjool Date Palm can be planted and thrive from California to Arizona and Nevada, to New Mexico, from Florida to Texas, to Louisiana, and even in states as east as South Carolina. In addition, because the Medjool Date Palm is extremely saltwater tolerant, this palm is typically the top choice for use near pools, homes, hotels, and near beaches.
Medjool Date Palms are Perfect Landscaping Beauties
Medjool Date Palms are being widely planted today for their tropical landscape appeal. These regal date palms have become a very popular choice for both residential and commercial landscape designs. Due to the hardiness of these palms and due to their natural grace and beauty, Medjool Date Palms are often used for landscaping and property design—bringing a tropical vibe to any property.
For those looking to take their residential or commercial properties to the next level, opt in for our “Diamond Cut.” Before delivery, the trunks of the palms will be given a diamond cut to improve the aesthetics and provide texture. Of course, you can choose to keep your palms in their original condition as well.
The Medjool Palm’s striking regal appearance, natural beauty, and easy maintenance make these palms a prime choice for those seeking to improve the look of their property.
The Medjool Date Palm’s leaflets are categorized as evergreen monocots, leaving them green year-round. The leaves are 13-20 feet long, and the leaflets, which form a “V” shape down the stem (also known as the rachis), reach about one to two feet long. Typically, there are about 150 leaflets per leaf.
The petiole, which is the stem that attaches the leaf to the trunk, is considered “false” because it contains 3 to 4-inch thorns that are actually modified leaflets. While most commercial growers remove spines when harvesting, it is important to use extreme caution when handling this area of the palm.

Natural Welsh Slate Hololiths are created by boring a large hole through the face of a monolith to create a window-like opening. This gives a feeling of depth to the slate as well as creating a focal point from where water will flow once the hololith is set-up as a water feature.
A smaller bore hole from the base of the stone to the bottom of the large hole creates a passage for water to rise through. The pump can be set so that water flows gently or gushes from the window hole. Being a natural product they are all slightly different, the photograph shows a typical example.
The hololiths we supply are all predominantly plumb in colour.
Options available with the hololith include a suitable pond pump with connection hoses and a Finia 1000 pebble pool base. If a pebble base is used then the pebble pool base would normally be buried in the ground and covered with the stone of your choice. The feature can then be positioned on top of it.
We recommend using a Finia 1000 pebble pool. (Diameter 98cm x H 30cm capacity 90L.)
These are a heavy duty pool that can withstand the weight of a heavy slate feature of this type. The Finia base provides a sump containing a reservoir of water for the feature and is available as an option with this feature. A submersible pump is required to drive the water to the top of the feature and this will normally reside beneath the water level, inside the pebble pool base or garden pond.
The pump is an optional extra, which comes with a length of flexible tube and 10m of cable for connection to a mains 240V supply. For installation the tube from the pump should connected to the base of the feature. The pump will then circulate water from the pond or pebble pool base up to top of the feature. This water cascades down and ultimately returns to the pond or pebble pool base.

The benefits of a weed fabric
Weed fabric is very important in modern day farming practice. It reduces the cost weeding the garden and makes harvesting easier. The soil on which plants grow contains a huge amount of weed seeds. These seeds grow and compete with the plant for available space, water, air, and nutrient. Too much weed in the garden can hamper the growth of your plant. Weeds can also compete with the plant for adequate sunlight and space.
Plants need all the nutrients they can get to grow and with the presence of weeds, they may not do well. Some weeds can grow taller than your plants and make harvesting more difficult. Some weeds also harbor pests that could destroy your plants.
Weed fabric is great for permanent landscapes. It is environmentally safe and helps to prevent weeds from growing. Weed fabric also called Weed barrier fabric is one of the best options to control weeds in the garden without spending too much. Even on a commercial level, it is still one of the best ways to keep the garden weed-free. Weed barrier cloth (weed fabric) is very easy to install. It stops weeds and allows water, air, as well as nutrients, to pass through. The soil is also conserved and soil erosion is prevented when weed barrier fabric is used. Landscape fabric also includes a barrier which helps to separate mulches from the soil.
How to install weed fabric
Before you start this operation, the first thing to do is to get all materials ready. To install a landscape fabric on your garden, the following items are needed:
Anchor pins or landscape staples
Razor blade cutter or scissors
However, you can also get a shovel, or trowel as well as any soil amendments you want when installing new plants.
1. First, you have to prepare the ground for your landscape fabric. At this point, make the area very smooth without the presence of weeds. All sharp stones and twigs or anything that can puncture the weed fabric should be cleared off. You can use a rake on the area to make the surface even and smooth.
2. Prepare the fabric by cutting it to the right size. Unroll it lengthwise across the area you wish to install it and cut to length. You should also trim the edges of the fabric to follow the curves of the beds. The idea is to hide the fabric completely under the mulch so make sure you trim all edges very well and do not allow it to stick out.
3. Cut your fabric to fit the plants properly if you already have existing plants in the area. You can slit the fabric to give room for the main stem to pass through. Once the fabric is in the right place, you can enlarge the hole if you like. This will help the trunk or stem of your plant.
4. Once you have succeeded in placing the fabric, the next step is to secure it with your landscape staples and make sure that the edges are also well secured. If you already slit the fabric for plants already in your garden, overlap and staple the cut edge firmly. On the other hand, you can make sure the slit is covered with a scrap of fabric. The reason is because cuts in the weed fabric will give room for grass and weeds to grow, so make sure you cover them properly.
5. If your intention is to plant new plants, make sure you install the fabric first before you do so. Once the fabric is installed, make an “X” cut in it to create space for planting. Make sure the fabric stays on the soil and dig a hole and do the planting as you normally would. The fabric should also be tucked around the new plant’s stem.
6. After placing your fabric, apply some much over it.
