The Charles River Speedway received 1st Place in the Adaptive Reuse Category. The Speedway is a multi-building reuse project that repositions a 19th-century stable and parks department into a versatile new pubic courtyard, combining historic preservation with forward-thinking sustainable design. The judges commented, “Nice project for the community and nice to see all-electric. The project seems simple, but sometimes achieving simple is a difficult task.”
The Speedway is featured in a five-page spread. Click here to read.
Frost Terrace, a 100% affordable housing community in Cambridge, MA, received 2nd Place in the Multifamily Housing Category. The project weaves together three historic houses, significant contemporary architecture, and a dynamic, human-centered landscape to transform a forgotten residential site along a commercial avenue. The judges commented, “Charming integration of old and new. Great story about affordability and increased density. I particularly enjoy how the historic house holds the sidewalk edge without being overwhelmed by the addition of new construction behind it. Expertly scaled new construction and lovely sitework makes all the buildings – old and new – fit on the narrow site without feeling cramped.”
Congratulations to both project teams and thank you, Retrofit Magazine, for recognizing our work!

The Coalition Government has committed $500,000 towards improving the safety and accessibility of the Coastal Walk at Gap Park.
“Improving the lighting on the Coastal walk will deliver significant benefits for the community as well as for the Eastern Suburbs Local Area Command. Good lighting is essential for response time, and response time is everything in terms of interventions,” Liberal Candidate for Wentworth Dave Sharma said.
This funding will enable Council to undertake three phases of improvements;
- Phase 1; Increasing the lighting along the pathway within Gap Park. ($150K)
- Phase 2; Installation of lighting from the southern end of Gap Park to Christison Park. ($250K)
- Phase 3; Installation of lighting from the coastal pathway at Christison Park to Old South Head Road. ($100K)
The funding will add to existing work underway to improve the lighting in the area from Gap Park in the north to the end of Christison Park in the South.


Having cleansed our minds with an hour inside the city’s inspiring landmark, we head to Hamburg’s central park, Planten Und Blomen, for our final stop in a long 24-hour city tour! It’s a beautiful, peaceful space with water features, wildlife (you can hear the birds clearly – blackbirds, I think?), trees and flowers covering quite a huge area. Notably, however, due to its central location, the traffic and city noise penetrates even this placid oasis within the city, reminding you that however peaceful you feel right now, the city holds you and owns you even in these moments.
Hamburg’s own 3dtorus seemed like an appropriate person to take on the sound of this place as our last ‘proper’ stop before we begin the journey back – a Hamburg native seeing us off on our way home.
Talking about his recording, titled ‘Planten Und Blomen in Dub’ he explains: “I chose this recording because it is my favourite place in Hamburg, on hot sunny days as well as on rainy days, even in winter this garden has its own beauty. Somehow, in my mind it goes well with a dubby sound.”

Designed in the shape of Vietnam’s national flower, Lotus Island will be located at the South East coast of Phu Quoc Island and will be part of a larger waterfront and coastal development by TTC Land Estate Investment Group.
Royal HaskoningDHV is tasked with the design of the land reclamation, breakwater, beaches, revetments and water quality study to ensure the island is sustainable and climate proof.
TTC Land Estate Investment Group and Royal HaskoningDHV will work to preserve the natural features of Phu Quoc, using sustainable solutions to integrate the island completely in its natural environment.
Huynh Bich Ngoc, TTC Land Real Estate Investment Group first vice president expressed her appreciation on having Royal HaskoningDHV as lead consultant for the design of the island as Royal HaskoningDHV was also involved in the design of the Palm Islands in Dubai.
“This safeguards that the Lotus Flower project is being developed according to international standards by a firm with extensive experience and a remarkable track-record,” she said.
Ronald Stive, Royal HaskoningDHV expert in water edge development, added: “I am very pleased to see that creative and carefully shaped nearshore land reclamation is nowadays recognised as a sustainable way of integrated ‘water edge development’. Not only recognised in the Middle-East, where this development started, but also in Southeast Asia and particularly in Vietnam.”


SF4 at Southsea is progressing well, and really starting to take shape.

Finally, we planted some summer wildflower seeds in the front yard. Hopefully, we'll have a colorful summer!


The Fish Pond
Sometimes a simple moment turns into a subject for a new artistic endeavor. The digital painting “The Fish Pond” captures impressions from a quiet evening by a landscaped pond. The setting depicts a period of meditation in the diffuse glow of the coming twilight.
The original photograph and sketch started on a summer evening at a dinner party. I left the table for a few minutes to enjoy the host’s fish pond off their back terrace. Twilight hadn’t quite arrived, but daylight was starting to fade, and two koi were hovering close to the surface of the pond. I was captivated by the scene and the sound of the waterfall. Beneath the waterfall, you can see the underwater landscape lighting is already on.
I was also interested in the range of pond plants both in the water and growing at the water’s edge. They provided a wonderful display of shape, color, and texture. Water features in well constructed gardens add an ephemeral aspect to the landscape. The fluid motion of the water, along with its soft background gurgling, is intoxicating and fleeting.
Several years ago, I was touring a small inner-city garden with several waterfalls along a 50 foot run from the fountain source to a small pond in the garden’s center. The owner was the designer and builder of this water feature, and throughout the run of the stream, he captured three basic types of waterfalls. I have used his terms for them. I don’t know if there are more formal names.
Knife Edge: This waterfall lets the entire width of the stream pass over a straight edge stone and drop about 12 inches in his garden. The straight, even cut of the stone (knife edge) allowed the water to form a sheet or curtain of water as it fell.
Tumble: This type of waterfall formed when the water took a 3-foot drop over a series of small boulders. The water tumbled from one rock to the next in an uneven manner, with some areas concentrating the flow and others dispersing it.
Rapids: The last of his waterfalls consist of a two-foot drop over a four-foot run. The water rushed over a bed of fist to bowl-sized rocks, forming a set of rapids.
I was quite taken by the way he worked the three types of falls into his garden landscape.
The digital painting rearranged the scene and superimposed it against a muted background. The work emphasizes numerous variations in texture between water, rock, plants, and sky. An insert image below gives a clear view of some of these textural differences.


Yesterday we finally got to plant our vigorous tomato plants.
One trick that we have learned in the past is to plant them as deep in the ground as you can, it triggers the plant to produce more roots which helps the plant thrive. After all the tomatoes were in the soil we were thrilled. What made them look so good was the thick layer of wood chips on top of the beds that we planted them in. We finally took the leap and said forget it with the straw mulch that we had been using prior to the chips and used some extra energy to haul hardwood wood chips over to the garden from the Christmas tree farm.
Let me tell you why I love wood chips so much. First, it’s the very first method we learned to garden with a few years ago, so it made a huge impact on us. After using the wood chip method, we could compare with everything else. Wood chips actually are so great — they retain water when there isn’t enough, and expels water when there is excess. There’s no other mulch that I’ve tried can do. Chips are heavy enough that they don’t blow away in light breezes or wind storms. This is especially useful here on this farm which sits on the top of a hill, creating high winds almost everyday. Yet, chips are not so heavy that they create any compaction at all on the soil. For most common weeds, wood chips seem to be heavy enough to discourage growth and have been the best use of natural weed management we have used so far. Wood chips create such an amazing matted layer on top of the soil that it never dries out under them, therefore the need for water diminishes significantly. The matted layer also provides earthworms and a huge number of different microorganisms to thrive in the safe moist soil where they can be of huge benefit to the garden.

Spend a late afternoon with buddies Lancelot Hunter (landscape designer, RUTD) and Jen Wong (architectural designer, Young Designers Workshop) to design and create your own living wall or concrete planters with succulents and moss, while exploring a flavor map of different types of scotch. We will showcase different scotch profiles and succulents and as a fun twist, show how they resemble each other in their individual ways. All materials included. Must be 21+ years old to register.
Jennifer Noel Wong is a Los Angeles-based architectural designer and has a background in architecture, urban design, and interior design. She finds influence from her surrounding environments, and learns from architects who approach design by challenging themselves to push boundaries, conduct social ecological research, and address sociological issues of today. Her workshops focus on creative problem solving, designing within constraints, working with the strengths and weaknesses of materials, and translates technical solutions to qualitative means of interactions that happen within spatial boundaries.
Lancelot Hunter is a landscape designer with over 10+ years experience is the industry. Lancelot has a background in construction, graphic design and just being himself. He finds the process of design (whatever the medium might be) more of a reward than design outcome itself. Design and creating is an integral part of the human experience and he believes everyone has something to offer.

Located midst the Kowloon’s high-rise buildings and the hustle bustle of the city, The Nan Lian Garden and Chi Lin Nunnery is one of the most peaceful places you will ever find in Hong Kong. It might not be a typical tourists joint but nevertheless a perfect place to relax and unwind for couple of hours.
The Nan Lian is a beautiful Half moon shaped landscape garden designed in the Tang dynasty style with traditional Chinese pavilions, bridges, hillocks, flowers and plants. The 35,000 sq. m site is artfully utilized to create a serene atmosphere and even though it is right in the middle of the bustling Diamond Hill, you will appreciate the fact that the garden is well insulated from the outside noise.
Among the various Timber Structures, we were entranced by the Golden structure called as the Pavilion of Absolute Perfection, which is located in the middle of the garden with vermillion colored bridge on either side. However much as we wanted to check the inside of the pavilion, it is closed for public viewing. Taking a leisurely stroll along the ponds, the evergreen trees and pretty flowers we were ready to admit it was just what we needed after the city tour and shopping.
At the far end of the garden, neatly hidden behind the artificial waterfall and watermill is a pure vegetarian restaurant, which serves lip-smacking authentic Cantonese cuisine. The steamed lotus seed buns we had are one of the best buns we have had so far. We do not have any pictures of the yummy food since photography is prohibited inside the restaurant.
Also, there is a teahouse “Song Cha Xie” located in a building that looks like a classic Chinese corridor overlooking the Blue Pond creating a tranquil atmosphere while sipping the Chinese tea.
The garden is connected to the Chi Lin Nunnery, which is a Buddhist Temple complex established in the year 1934 and later renovated in Tang style in 1990. During the renovation the wooden structures were built in such a way that not a single iron nail was used indicating the relationship of nature and humans.
The Nunnery and the Garden is five-minute walk from the Diamond Hill MTR station. You can also include small trip to the Plaza Hollywood mall as it is close to the Garden.

“A tree without a forest” is inspired by a Romanian folk song. The second submission shows the recycle symbol metamorphosing into a tree, illustrating recycling as a method of saving trees.


Our team at Wooster Creative loves art in the garden as much as art online. So we were very excited when Troy Rhone, famed garden designer, approached us to create a website to showcase his garden designs and press articles.

Recently Got Bamboo teamed up with Fast Grass to supply to our customers the most complete restoration services for properties destroyed by the removal of bamboo. Once the bamboo has been removed the result is a barren dirt landscape. Some properties have erosion problems too. Hydroseeding a new lawn in its place is the logical answer.
Better than just seeding and half the cost of sod installation, this service is the most cost efficient way for all our customers to experience ‘a quality of life’ again for their family and friends. You will see results in just two weeks!
What is Hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding (hydraulic mulch seeding) is the process of spraying specially mixed slurry comprising of water, seed, hydro-mulch, fertilizer plus eco-friendly binder in just one operation. Although the optimum times to hydroseed are Spring and Autumn, with the right weather conditions hydroseeding can be carried out throughout the year.
Individual mixtures (grasses, legumes, wildflower, tree & shrub seed and sedum) can all be applied with a variety of different hydro-mulches; wood fiber, paper etc, together with organic tackifiers, fertilizers and trace elements to establish vegetation on inhospitable sites.
Additives to the hydroseed mix such as plant hormones, additional erosion control tackifier, soil amendments and microbial bacteria, enhance germination establishment to create the ideal growing environment that increases moisture retention, aids soil stabilization, provides valuable nutrients and helps fight disease.
No two properties are alike and for every project there is an individual seed mix. We are able to cater for almost any requirement taking into account factors such as soil type, climate, location etc.

After workshopping the tour last fall, the Taliesin Preservation debuted its Driftless Landscape Tour June 12 with an hour long tour of the landscape and agricultural areas of the Taliesin estate. Valley Sentinel was invited to tag along.
The tour is designed to highlight Frank Lloyd Wright’s commitment to working with the Driftless area landscape as well as the living and learning aspects of the estate regarding geology, ecology, and culture.
The walking tour shows the vast garden and crop plots that are still active on the estate and takes a look at how the Food Artisan Immersion program utilizes the estate now and in the past at the height of educational work at the property.
Tour guide Grace Vosen educates tour groups on the ancient history of the Driftless area of Wisconsin, what the landscape would have featured during Wright’s time compared to the landscape now.
The tour includes information on how the Taliesin Preservation is working to preserve various aspects of Wright’s last decade on the Estate, and the steps they are taking to preserve the 1950s on the Estate, which includes creating similar tree lines and planting rhubarb plots.
Participants in the inaugural tour includes visitors from Colorado, Illinois and Virgina.
Tickets for the tour are $25, $20 for seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased at: www.taliesinpreservation.org/tours/tour/driftless-landscape-tour/


My previous post cast a spotlight on the vendor chosen for my wedding photos and video. Today's post is all about Fort Tryon, the park we chose to have our engagement photo session. First of all, I never ever thought I would be doing something like this! It's one thing to take a nice photo but quite another to be front and center in a photoshoot! I am so glad Pete will be there with me so we can have fun with it.
When we decided to do the photo session we realized we had to come up with a great location. Since we both really love nature and picnics we felt a lovely park would fit our personalities best. We debated between a couple of parks but it was our vendor, George Street, that suggested Fort Tryon Park. Fort Tryon Park overlooks the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge. I had never been inside that park although I have passed it by many times before. We looked up some beautiful engagement photos online done at that park and were blown away. It was the perfect choice. Since we both had never actually been in the park we decided to check it out. The park is so beautiful with amazing views of the river and bridge as well as gorgeous architecture and gardens. I am so glad we took the time really scout out the park for photo ops. We ended up having our own mini photo session. Below I posted some pictures from it. Enjoy!

IIT Roorkee lends expertise for sustainable maintenance of Purana Qila lake
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has lent its expertise for rejuvenating and maintaining the Purana Qila lake. The institute plans to minimise seepage of the lake water by lining the lake bed with an impermeable membrane of Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Terpolymer and through a well-designed rainwater harvesting and ground water recharge system and creating a sustainable habitat.
The Purana Qila Lake is spread over 7 acres of land.
The Delhi Tourism and Transport Development Corporation (DTDC) maintained water in the lake for boating from 2012 to 2017. But, an IIT Roorkee team analysed the site details and found that the water that was maintained for boating was of poor quality and had excessive algal growth.
The IIT Roorkee team led by Prof Bhanu Prakash Vellanki analysed the site and recommended a plan of action.
Vellanki said, "Laying of the 1.5mm EPDM membrane below the lake bed was advised to reduce the seepage to the subsurface drastically. Synthetic liners such as the EPDM membrane have been extensively used in the West for the creation of artificial ponds for aesthetic purposes, canal lining, reducing seepage of lake, aquaculture pond lining, swimming pool lining, etc. Based on various preliminary calculations, we came to the conclusion that the lake is not prone to flooding during peak rainfall events. To counteract the effects, if any, of minimal infiltration through the lake after lining, rainwater harvesting structures and infiltration galleries were recommended at suitable locations."


Hilton Carter's new book on styling house plants is a beautiful object in and of itself. The photographs are inspirational, and the plants are luscious.
"Hilton Carter's love for plants is infectious. His lush and exuberant displays are inspiring reminders that plants can be so much more than neat little containers on a window sill." Grace Bonney, Google Books


Well, we haven't even wrapped up 2013 yet and we are already preparing for a new batch of plants come 2014! We've sprayed a new area of land next to one of our existing crops and we are hoping to get the landscape fabric down before the weather turns icky!
This field has been more successful than the one out front of the house so the plan is to carry on planting in this field and leave the other one for now. The soil seems to be better here, and the irrigation is much easier (see the sprinkler in the middle of the landscape fabric there?).
This time around we will be much better prepared and will hopefully be quicker with everything, having learned so much from our first go of it over the summer.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

As a gardener, Sander makes beautiful designs for gardens, boatdocks and roofs. During a first meeting at Sander and Marlous' home, I was already enthusiastic about the many photos he showed me. I thought it was great to see how Sander was able to convert his 3D drawings into a beautiful garden. I wanted to show that on his website! I asked Sander to take pictures before and after the landscaping and I overlaid them. By means of a slider you can easily compare his design drawing with the end result.
For the colors I used a fresh grass green color against deep black. These are actually pretty standard colors that you often see at gardener companies. This immediately provides a piece of recognition and the deep black ensures that the mostly colorful photos of flowers and plants come out beautifully.


Why Indian Sandstone is best for paving projects
Indian Sandstone is generally viewed as the most ideal decision for clearing projects because of its remarkable blend of toughness, flexibility, and normal magnificence.

Tips for how to Aquascape with Seiryu Stone
Undeniably one of the most popular hardscape stones used in aquascaping, Seiryu stone is often used in Iwagumi aquascapes and is perfect for creating ledges, rock walls, and underwater caves. Its deep gray color and rough jagged texture make them perfect freshwater planted aquascapes or focal point hardscapes.
Our molded Seiryu Stone offers many advantages over natural stones:
- It’s lightweight, making it easy to position into place – and easier to clean.
- It will not break or scratch aquarium glass.
- It will not alter pH or water chemistry in any way and requires no pre-soaking.
- It’s also molded from actual pieces of Seiryu Stone – so what you see is what you get!
Here are 4 quick tips to help you create a stunning aquascape with our molded Seiryu Stones:
TIP#1 – CREATE THE BASE FIRST
The narrow oblong shape of our larger Seiryu Stones is perfect for using them horizontally flat as a base, stacking them, or positioning the vertically at angles. They are also very lightweight, so create your base structure first, laying stones horizontally flat – then position stones vertically to fit them together. Fit smaller stones between larger stones to add stability and/or blend along the outer edges of the aquascape. Ideally, it’s best to do this when initially setting your aquarium up (empty), but you can also easily do it in an already established aquarium.
TIP#2 – CREATE AN ISLAND CONCAVE
The narrow oblong shape of Seiryu Stones is ideal for creating a concave island-style aquascape, especially in aquariums 36″ long and smaller. Concave layouts create a natural center focal point, visually bringing the eyes directly center and producing an illusion of depth. Simply lean outer stones at opposite angles from the desired center of the aquascape and blend in with plants or smaller stones.
TIP#3 – CREATE VISUAL FLOW
Scenery-style aquascapes mimic mother nature within the aquarium and leaning Seiryu Stones and branches in the same diagonal direction will create an added sense of gentle water movement. Start with taller pieces at one side, then slope them down to a shallow end. It’s minimal, clean, and produces an incredible perception of naturally flowing water.
TIP#4 – BLEND IT IN
Add smaller plants into the crevices and gaps in your rockwork to blend in the aquascape. Live plants such as Anubias work extremely well as their roots will readily anchor to the deep crevices in molded Seiryu stone. You can also use artificial plants like our Hedge and Shrub foreground plants.


Shearwater on the island embraced the concept of Water Sensitive Urban Design and has constructed a product that
has broad reaching benefits for the Cowes community and
The outcome of this project is that the majority of stormwater generated in Cowes is now treated before entering the Rhyll Inlet. This provides an enormous net gain to the environment. Shearwater have invested more than $2 million in developing a wetland and retarding basin system that manages and treats a catchment area of 210 hectares, well beyond the requirements for the estate. The flows on effects are provision of a source of fresh water for irrigation of the Cowes Golf Club and improvement in water quality and reduction in flows to Rhyll Inlet.


Most often the appearance of the house is determined by the architectural project, but designers can work with the ready building, giving it its zest.
Having a country cottage, you should think about the plot around the house.
Translating into reality landscape designs, exterior of a house, it is possible to use the most various methods of registration. The main and important goal in the design remains the preservation of natural elements-it’s fountains, waterfalls and compositions of plants.
When designing a design not yet built, the designer works together with the architect to choose the right building materials. It is often necessary to redesign and modify the existing appearance of the building.
Quite often we observe that in cottage settlements built similar houses. And each owner wants his house differed from the neighboring, and would emphasize its taste. Designers will help you give the house a unique look, adding decorative elements that your neighbors do not have.

creation of small dams and
restoration of areas that are degraded wetlands.
Different designs for compensation areas have been tried to improve the quality of the created wetlands. The differences in the environment from southeastern South Dakota to northwestern South Dakota could mean that different designs based upon the environment of the area might be needed. Analyses of the designs used by the Department in regard to quality of wetlands created has not been done.
Other states have developed criteria for wetlands design. Guidelines that could point out dos and donts of wetlands compensation and design methods by physiographic regions of the state could ease the problems associated with wetland mitigation.

A well-groomed yard can help improve your home visual appeal. Also yards raises home markets value. To maintain a yard landscaping play a major role.There are several ways of landscaping such as pine straw mulch. Pine trees produce small needles that drop to the ground known as pine straws. The needles are then hand scraped, cleaned and baled without chopping the trees.There are different types of pine straw from different regions. The coverage of the yard is dependent on the application depth, type and the size of the bale.Pine straw is used for landscaping by spreading layers on top of the ground. As the changes in temperature harms plants and affects the soil pine straws protect them. The types of crops that one can use the pine straw landscaping consist of vegetables like onions, garlic, and potatoes, berries such as Roseberry and strawberries and flowers such as marigold and zinnias. Demonstrated here are the advantages and disadvantages of pine straw ground covering.
Pine straw can be of different colors such as bronze and orange color. The amount of sun exposure and the quality of the pine straws can contribute to having these colors. Your yards get a gorgeous look with these colors.Another advantage of pine straw is that they are very easy to install and tidy to handle. Because the pine straws are hand fetched and washed the pine straws have no dirt thus clean for use. Pine straw is economical and better to use compared to shredded mulch.
One other pro of pine straw is that it safeguards the soil from becoming too compact and dense. Another pro of pine straw is that it defenses the soil from being squashed and thick. The soil is shielded from becoming solid and condensed.It helps in keeping the soil hydrated and lets the soil breathe.When the pine straw decomposes, it makes the soil rich in phosphorous, calcium and nitrogen.This nutrients are essential in plant growth. Another merit of pine straw is that it shields the crops from weeds thus eliminating chemical use. Pine straws guards the crops and soil from frost and extreme heat.During rainy season the plants remain in place.
Getting Creative With Businesses Advice
There are minimal disadvantages of pine straws covering. One of the cons is that pine straw covering can easily catch fire thus being a risk. There can be huge losses to the soil and ground if pine straws catches fire. Applying additional fertilizers may be required despite the pine straws nutritional characteristics.Another disadvantage is that pine straw makes the soil very acidic and the acidic nature is not good for many plants.

Today is brought to you by the color green. With our warm weather everything is turning green, the grass the trees, the bushes, everything, a million colors of green. Here in Geneva there are a lot of willow trees, they line the lake, I'm not sure why or how there were planted there but they are there and always have been. Maybe I will Google it to see, but that will have to be for a future post. The willow trees are all starting to bloom, they are the most beautiful color, they look like waterfalls of beautiful yellowy green water. I hope you can get out and check out the world coming to life while everything is new!

Instead of just concentrating on vast vista landscapes. Take some time to focus in on the smaller sections of the landscape. Small sections of the landscape can represent an area or a season beautifully. When you decide to go out then you should have a plan in your mind of the type of shots you want. Keep the plan flexible. This day I had decided to concentrate on the autumn leaves.
On this particular lovely autumn day I had gone for walk in a local park to take some autumnal photographs. The park was at Nostell priory in Yorkshire. There were plenty of fallen multi coloured leaves on the floor. There was a roughly made bench under the branches of a tree. The scene just looked lovely and so harmonious with the colours. The focus was on the colour of the leaves in the scene so I didn’t need to take in the whole tree. The bench made a nice focal point for the shot. Shots like this look right in flat light which just wouldn’t suit a big landscape.
Keep your eyes open for such shots. They might not the impact of vast landscapes but they are so lovely and remind you of lovely days out.
Get outdoors and see the beautiful world we live in.

You may be considering a huge number of places to visit in Singapore, such as the Marina Bay Sands casino, or Gardens by the Bay, or Sentosa, or even the Singapore Zoo and Bird Park but if you ask me where is the place I love to go and bring people tomthe most, it is the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
There’s been a lot of talk going around in hoping that the Gardens, originally set up by the British to have a nice place to enjoy a spot o’ tea, will become a World UNESCO Heritage site, the first in Singapore. I really hope it does! Since most of old kampung Singapore was already transformed to a busy metropolis with towering skycrapers and apartments, there is nothing worth visiting now in Singapore more than the Gardens.
Fun Fact: It boasts a collection of more than 1,000 species and 2,000 hybrids of orchids.

Villa Borghese is a large landscape garden in the naturalistic English manner in Rome, containing a number of buildings, museums (see Galleria Borghese) and attractions. It is the second largest public park in Rome (80 hectares or 148 acres). I spent a lovely sunday afternoon here watching Romans and tourists picnic and play. This was a quiet fountain not far from the Spanish Steps.

Wire Back Silt Fence attaches engineered and tested woven filter fabric to galvanized mesh to make the finest and most cost effective silt fence system. The purpose of wire back silt fence is to prevent the flow of sediment from leaving the desired site and entering natural drainage ways or storm drainage systems by slowing storm water runoff and causing the deposition of sediment at the structure. Silt fencing encourages sheet flow and reduces the potential of developing ruts and gullies.

Project Showcase – May 2015
As part of our “Insider’s Update”, we will regularly showcase one of our important and interesting projects. This month, we feature our design and installation of some unique “wall mounted” Prestige Flagpoles™ for the new Palazzo Versace Hotel which is due to open soon in the Culture Village precinct, overlooking Dubai Creek near the Al Jadaf area of Dubai.
While the majority of our Prestige Flagpoles™ are mounted at ground level, due to the unique architectural layout of the grounds at the Palazzo Versace, this standard type of installation did not provide the look and feel that the landscape consultant was hoping to achieve. In order to highlight the hotel’s front entrance, we worked with our main contractor (Arabtec Enshaa Services JV) and the End Client’s consultant (National Engineering Bureau) to come up with a solution that would enhance the overall appearance of the hotel in a “grand” style.

Click on the link below to visit the official City of Blue Island Waterfront Planning webpage:
Blue Island’s waterfront is a unique resource for recreational opportunities, economic development and quality of life for our community and neighbors.
We are seeking your ideas to help craft a plan for transforming the Cal-Sag into an inviting and scenic front yard for the community.
All residents are encouraged to attend one of several upcoming sessions to speak with the planning team about your ideas and hopes for the area. Together, Blue Island is ready to re-imagine our waterways and create an incredible new space for the community to enjoy.
Project organizers recently hosted a series of public placemaking audits at several locations along the canal. Check back soon to see what Blue Island residents had to say about their visions for the waterfront!
Dates and times for additional public meetings will be announced soon.
About the project:
Following the recent lease of 130 acres from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, Blue Island has joined forces with the Metropolitan Planning Council, Weaver Boos Consultants and Smith Group JJR to develop a long-term plan for the redevelopment and revitalization of the Cal-Sag waterfront.
Stretching from Kedzie Avenue on the west to Racine Avenue on the east, the project area encompasses both the north and south sides of the channel. While most of the land is currently fenced off from public use, planners hope to create a space that improves quality of life for area residents while simultaneously generating new economic activity in the area.
The project coincides with the upcoming development of the Cal-Sag Trail — a 26-mile walking trail stretching from Lemont to the Burnham Greenway near the Indiana border — and several other economic development initiatives aimed at creating a healthier, more vibrant Blue Island.

Succulents are the camels of the plant world. They take in water and store it in their fleshy interiors, allowing them to go long periods of time without additional life-giving liquid. They are some of our favorite plants at Cedar Lane!
When planting a succulent container, it helps to think of the Thriller, Filler and Spiller way of planting. Thillers go in the middle or back of the container. Fillers go around the Thrillers to add body to the planting. Finally, the Spillers go around the edge of the planting to trail and finish off the planting.

Brochure and various advertising materials for the “Reunification of the English Garden” campaign. The Munich English Garden, one of the largest city parks in the world, was cut into two parts by a four-lane city motorway in 1966. The Munich architects and city planners Hermann Grub and Petra Lejeune had the idea of calling for the reunification of the English Garden and moving the traffic route underground to a tunnel. For this purpose they set up a foundation and a non-profit association. Grub + Lejeune succeeded in getting the people of Munich excited about the project with a lot of commitment and good public relations work. In this context, brochures, large-format posters, folders and an exhibition in the Chinese Tower were created.

If you are planning an upgrade on your landscapes, you definitely will be looking at the best ideas. Everyone wants the latest trends because they know that it is one sure way to make their homes better. Indeed, the list of things that you can do to improve your outdoors is almost endless and therefore, you have to take time to choose one that is perfect for your home.
Recent times have seen the emergence of trends that add a lot of value to a home. In fact, these trends are sure to turn an otherwise ordinary home into one that can wow anyone. There also are the trends that can take your home into the future. According to BigEasyLandscaping.com – landscaping company New Orleans, these are the ones that are likely to be a hit now and even several years later. So, are you ready to embark on the project? Let us help you to identify the top trending landscaping ideas for homes in 2017.
The garden journey
You do not have to worry about the size of your home when creating the garden journey theme. Even when it is just a small one, you can still create it. This is a theme whereby you make paths that go round the garden so that people can take a tour, and see how amazing it is. For small spaces, you can use stepping stones. This is a clever trick to make sure that your visitors do not walk so fast. As they step from one stone to another, they will also take some time and admire the flowers as well as other plants in the garden.
It is without a doubt that visibility and safety are important when it comes to outdoor lighting. This means that you should make the lighting enough for you to see every part of the garden. However, you also need that mood that will entice you to linger in your outdoor gathering spaces. Because of this, you need to create subtle lighting. It should be just bright enough to ensure that you can see, but also low enough to give you that unique feeling. You also may want to use a lighting color that makes the ambiance even better.
Natural stone steps
If you have an outdoor that has high ends and low others, you definitely will need steps to move from one part to another. Try using natural stones as the steps between these parts, and you will be amazed by the difference that it creates. No matter the general design and theme of your home, naturals stones will always be a sure fit. This is because they can be found almost anywhere. By adding this natural effect to the landscape, you make it even more breathtaking, and everyone will want to spend some time there as they admire what you have got.
Going forward, the need to customize home landscapes becomes even greater. Try to find unique things that you can add to your gardens so that they do not look exactly like what others already have in their homes.…


Stirling North Parish Church
In accordance with current guidance and instructions there will be only email communication between committee members and there will be no summer outings this year and possibly no winter talks!
Stirling Civic Trust is a charity whose principal aims are:
- To encourage high standards of architecture, planning and landscape design in the City of Stirling and its environs.
- To encourage the preservation of existing features of architectural or historic interest and the preservation, development and improvement of features of general public amenity.
We who live or work in and around Stirling are exceptionally fortunate in the buildings and the landscape, which we have inherited. The concern of Stirling Civic Trust is quite simply that we should bequeath a comparable legacy to our successors.
The site is updated at least once a month, generally under HOME PAGE and “Monthly Jottings”


|In-game name||Extreme Hills|
|Landcover||Podzol, Coarse Dirt, Grass|
Mega Taigas, also known as Redwood Forests, were released in the 1.7 update. They contain Podzol, some ground plants, and 2x2 Spruce Trees (similar to the 2x2 Jungle Trees in Jungle Biomes). Both Grass Blocks and Podzol spawn here, as well as Grassless Dirt. A structure called the Moss Stone Boulder spawns here as well.


Fine Grading and Compaction
Grading is the process by which the aggregate stone or granular base is leveled or given a specific slope to promote natural drainage and prevent water from standing. It is meant to essentially emulate the final contours of the finished grade. This work is performed by using heavy machinery like a bulldozer and/or excavator to rough grade an area to within one inch of the finished grade, and then using a grader to complete the finished grading. The base is then compacted with a vibratory roller to achieve the proper density.


The approach to design was to understand and capture what makes Seppeltsfield Wines and the wider Barossa region such a unique part of South Australia. The team at Intro committed themselves to create a contemporary, generational piece of architecture which will catalyse conversations for decades that come. The building has been sculpted so it appears as if it emerges from the land. The design remains cognisant of its rural context so that when viewed from a distance, its upper contracting silhouette is not dissimilar to a silo, water tower, or wine tank.
The design philosophy was borne from the art of barrel-making, particularly the process of the curvature and manipulation of the stave. This is where the conceptual framework of the deconstructed wine barrel is expressed – through contrasting materials and transparencies throughout the series of contorted staves arising from the vineyard. The proposed design uses a two-fold approach to ground the building in its place. The building responds to its rural setting by incorporating two distinct design elements of contrasting materiality. The first is the base of the building which features stone and other locally sourced materials typical of the locality. The second and upper element complements the landscape with its sweeping yet restrained form and aesthetic.
