Getaway :: Fordypningsrommet Fleinvær ‘The Arctic Hideaway’
The coast of Norway is dotted with ethereal clusters of islands, remnants of the last glaciation that blanket the mainland like a protective barrier from the icy Norwegian Sea. This windswept landscape of rolling hills and countless fjords is an explorers’ paradise of spectacular beauty and makes an especially stunning backdrop for a cluster of modern tiny dwellings known as Fordypningsrommet Fleinvær or The Arctic Hideaway.
Norwegian musician and composer Håvard Lund is the creator of this eco-friendly outpost that can accommodate up to 10 people (book your visit). Lund was motivated by the spectacular landscape and wanted to create a place where people could come to immerse themselves in its supreme beauty. He hired TYIN Architects and acclaimed architect Sami Rintala to design the unique group of buildings, all of which are encased in sustainable Kebony wood and elevated on steel support structures to reduce their impact on the landscape.


The team at Maiz y Diaz have expertly intertwined a number of elements to create a truly stunning home.
The contrasting use of different cladding gives a beautiful façade to the villa. The mixture of outdoor living spaces give flexibility to the new owner who will have all the elements needed for entertaining or to find somewhere peaceful to appreciate the views.
A split level water feature that extends into a luxurious pool area is the perfect place to relax and unwind. This continues into an infinity waterfall that gives a beautiful flow across three distinct levels.
Inside, four generous bedrooms each with their own private dressing rooms give a luxurious feel for family and guests.

City's Corporate Campus Adopts New Guidelines
City’s Corporate Campus Adopts New Guidelines
May 24, 2002 - The Noblesville Ledger
By: Katherine Lewis
NOBLESVILLE – The plan commission will modify some guidelines for structures within the corporate campus after a local development firm created some guidelines the staff thought were more suitable to the area.
The commission is allowing Republic Development Corp. to change its commercial project located on 280 acres on the north side of the Indiana 238/Interstate 69 interchange.
Lot widths will be reduced from 300 to 200 feet, new landscaping guidelines will be used and building height will be increased from 35 to 40 feet.
The city’s planning staff supported the changes and said the corporate campus could adopt some of the modifications Republic had suggested, as well.
But not everyone was happy about the new guidelines. Commissioner Neil Thompson spoke out against changing the plans so quickly after they had been established.
“We spent many hours developing a workable format,” he said. “But you want to turn around in the first couple of opportunities and drop the standards across the board. I don’t have any problem with the projects, but I don’t think we should drop the bar until we know who we’re playing with.”
Republic spokesman Richard Arnos said many hours were spent reviewing plans with the city’s planning staff and suggested the master plan should continue to evolve.
In the end, the board conceded to Arnos’ points and unanimously approved the changes to his plan.


Should you decide to invest in outdoor theaters, whether for commercial or personal use, it is a must that you know the basics considering the fact that this can be a very costly project. Start by choosing the right area where you are going to install the outdoor theater. You can have it around the yard, near the swimming pool, or in the patio or in any area where you think it fits.
The most important thing of all is to choose carefully the right professionals to help you with the installation. If you want to utilize the maximum benefits of having an outdoor theater, hire experienced professionals. Work with them to come up with a good design and pick the right audiovisual system to complete the system.

Preserving, protecting and improving the health of rivers and waterways in Scotland.
A range of specific waterway projects are currently being developed in close partnership with The Deveron, Bogie and Isla Rivers Charitable Trust, Findhorn, Nairn and Lossie Rivers Trust, and the Spey Catchment Initiative, to commence later this year. These will focus on direct activity along riverbanks and waterways designed to help increase biodiversity and overall health of the river ecosystem. This in turn will help limit the rise of water temperatures, preserve floodplain resilience and increase river security. For example, simple practical interventions such as planting new trees along rivers can provide additional shade that helps limit river temperature rises and strengthen riverbanks.

A short walk outside the old town you will find a place that seem straight out of a child fairytale: Giardino Giusti.
An oasis far from the chaos and bustling of the city center where you can spend hours strolling around a beautifully curated garden. Created during XV century by Giusti family who came to Verona in 1406 and originally bought this piece of land to use it for their wool-dyeing business. For two centuries in fact the area was filled with cauldrons of dye in which they soaked wool.
Only later the factory buildings have been replaced by a stunning palace and the beautiful garden created following that time fashion: cypresses, fountains, statues, grottoes, hedges and a fancy maze.
Giardino Giusti became a popular spot for travelers of the “Grand Tour”. We are talking about not everyday travelers but personalities such as Goethe, Mozart, Ruskin, Emperor Joseph II, King Carlo Felice of Savoy and Tsar Alexander I of Russia.
The garden is still maintained as originally shaped with pots of citruses, mythological statues, fountains, lemons, grottoes, Roman remains, pavilions hidden in the trees, a stunning cypress alley that symmetrically divides the area.
The lower part has the shape of a typical “all’italiana” garden, divided in symmetrical sections of box hedges decorated with mythological statues of Diana, Venus, Apollo and other gods. Take the time to walk inside the labyrinth and go say hi to the turtles that live in the fountains.
After your eyes have been filled enough with all this beauty, start climbing the woods, and discover step after step the beautiful views while reaching the top. Spend some time to admire the landscape of Verona that will open in front of you and take some minutes to realize the real beauty of the lower garden from a higher perspective.
The visit of the garden will take you at least an hour, despite not being very large, but it will take longer especially during summer as temperatures are really hot inside its area.
Be sure to save 30 minutes to visit the palace and admire Giusti’s family original photos for a quick back-in-time journey.

TWI played a major part in the gold medal winning garden at Sandringham in July.
Designed by Giles Landscapes, the garden's theme was a nostalgic look back to the industrial revolution. TWI's contribution was an artificially aged steel water feature which carried a steady flow of water, at exactly the right height, falling vertically from the end of a trough to form a water curtain.
Quite a challenge!
Many visitors on the day, including the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, complimented the designers on the award winning garden.

Outdoor lights can reinvent the entire outdoor space. They’ll be able to push back the approaching and full darkness just enough to make your backyard totally beautiful. Finding the right combination of lighting options can seem daunting at first, after all, there are so many options from string lights, to garden lights, to lamp posts, where do you even begin? We’d suggest starting with a classical, foundational piece like a towering lamp post. Next Energy provides aesthetic options for self-sustainable solar lamp posts that can add a classical nearly Victorian lighting option to your backyard that will open up so many possibilities for your backyard decorations.
The Classical Origins
You’d be hard-pressed to think of early 1800s Boston without those old Victorian, angular and graceful lamp posts standing as sentinels all up and down the street. Perhaps you can even picture the the curling, sweeping style of the lamp posts standing in cobblestone courtyards of great English houses. When you think of a lamp post, you might even imagine the simplistic, nearly rudimentary style of the towering posts dotting the streets of Rome and lighting up the sunset colored stucco between all of the little, roughly paved alleyways. However you can call them to mind, you probably see them as a timeless piece of the architecture of a location that’s already full of history. However, lamp posts are not a strictly urban way of lighting the outdoors, they can also complement residential areas. Any outdoor lamp post can create a sense of timeless appeal wherever they’re placed. While styles have evolved and changed into more modern applications, this does not mean the symbolism and feeling of lamp posts have changed — they’ve merely been adapted.
You can complement your yard in many ways with a solar lamp post that can add a sense of gentility to the more modern styles that are currently trending. One of the main ways to decorate your lamp post to fit in with the rest of your yard’s theme is foliage. If you’re trying to instill a zen, more cultured and coordinated feeling around your yard, you can plant sprouts of bamboo a few paces away from the post. Bamboo grows quickly and you’ll soon have a backdrop of lowering bamboo for your post to light up. If you’re trying for a graceful, looping aesthetic for your post you can easily achieve that through various vine growths that can soften the hard edges and give you something else to look at.
If you’re looking for a fast growing vine that will add character to your solar lamp post and tie in the designs of your yard we have a couple of suggestions. Some of these will fare better in certain climates than others, but you can always tailor the vine and flower to suit your needs. As far as perennials recommend the, we love the way clematis vines look with our lights. They have a tendency to spread out quickly after their first year and the flower come in purple and vibrant pink varieties that are hearty and always pretty. If you’re looking for an even brighter colored flower to contrast against the dark green foliage look to Carolina jasmine. The vine remains green far into the colder months of the year and produces gorgeous little tubular yellow petals that smell fragrant and look delicate but are surprisingly hardy. If you’re more attracted to the idea of vines without flowers, you might choose hops instead. Hops smell fragrant and they grow like weeds. More than likely, once they latch on to the post of your lamp post, they’ won’t relent and you might even have to trim them back.
Establishing Your Vines
When you plant the vines, you’ll want to start with amending the soil a bit to foster the grown of the vine. That’ll come in the form of mixing in potting soil even the ground is to dry so that the plant has plenty of nutrients to take hold and start to spread its roots wide enough to come back the next year. Once you’ve got the soil doctored up a bit, then you can mulch the ground in a small area around the lamp post to stifle weeds and limit the water needs of your vine. To begin the vine, you’ll have to train it a bit. Start it out on a separate trellis from the lamp post and make sure there’s a string that the vine can follow to get to the lamp post. Ensure that you choose a vine that’s equally as strong, or less strong than your lamp post pole. If it’s much stronger, it’ll begin to pull it down to the ground.
Catering to the Holidays
A lamp post makes it easy to decorate for various holidays, including the 4th of July, Christmas, Thanksgiving and so many more. From tasteful, winding garlands, to mistletoe, to pumpkins and fall leaf wreaths, there are a million ways to decorate your own charming lamp post to turn it into a festive landmark as time goes by. You can mark each month with a new ribbon tied in a bow near the light, or you can complement it with fairy lights that wind from the base all the way to the top.
If you’re interested in setting your yard apart with a beautiful, classic lamp post that runs off of solar power and is far more efficient than the average wired version, start browsing our inventory. Our lights are super easy to install and offer full control through the comprehensive app. Feel free to contact us with any questions you currently have.

Chaos is the garden.
Order is the fence.
The garden is a place full of beauty and creativity where anything can happen.
The fence is an impressive structure that’s impenetrable and harsh.
But a garden can’t create beautiful things if it’s not protected. Also, it will take over everything if it’s not contained.
And a fence has no reason to exist without something within it to protect or contain.
Chaos and order fight all the time. But they also keep each other alive and give each other a reason to exist.

Clendish Woods (Tottenham Marsh) has been brought back to life thanks to a partnership project launched with the support of Luka Modric this week.
Children from Sunrise Primary School, local community groups and volunteers came together to celebrate this newly developed urban landscape. Partly funded by the Forestry Commission's London Tree and Woodland Grant Scheme, the unique project is managed by environmental regeneration charity Groundwork London.
Luka attended the launch to show the Club's support and delight some very excited school children. "Tottenham Marshes provide the ideal spot for families to get out and enjoy their local parks," he said.
The woodland improvement is part of an ongoing £2 million investment to improve the area. The regeneration of Tottenham Marshes has, so far, taken 5 years and represents a long standing commitment by Lee Valley Regional Park Authority to transform the area and encourage visitors to enjoy the area, play sports, spot wildlife or simply relax alongside the canal.
The Authority has created an attractive countryside area running parallel to the traffic blighted, industrialised area surrounding the Marshes.
The programme of improvements includes a 200m long woodland path, tree planting and a 5-year woodland management plan.
"It's wonderful to see children, families and local community groups coming together, being active and enjoying their environment. The Marshes are the only area of their kind in Tottenham. We're delighted that Luka Modric and Tottenham Hotspur supported the event and were on hand to highlight the range of leisure and recreational activities here," said LVRPA Project Manager Janet Green.
It is hoped that our support will encourage young people and sports enthusiasts on to the Marshes.

The Grand Prix project is one of our newest examples showcasing our Design/Build capabilities. With a great team of Catherine Hersacher as the designer, a fantastic Architectural Draftsman and a wonderful Builder, this Mediterranean inspired home has come to realization in a short 9 month build time! Exterior shots will follow once the landscaping has been installed. The clients had very specific space requests all designed with a courtyard concept around a pool area. These specialty areas included three bedrooms, a dog treatment/grooming area, Office, Gym and a large, open Great Room and Living Space. The challenge was to get all these spaces to flow logically and without feeling imposing or cold, and to get all of this in under 4,000 square feet!


Liz at Wildflower explained that her logo and website did not meet her needs. We discussed the work Wildflower Landscape does, the typical aesthetic and her niche – California Natives and climate responsible formal landscapes with a targeted Arts & Crafts style.
Reviewing the competition, I started at looking at the images of all the landscape designers, architects, and contractors. It was a sea of green and her site matched. After a number of sketches, a review of Wildflower’s designs and results, we agreed that a design based on the Bungalow Arts & Crafts style.
After I sketched a couple of stain glass window motifs, we chose the one that incorporated the iconic California poppy. The colors moved away from the green that all that work in the ecological arts adopted, and a sky blue and poppy orange became the base.
Extending the iconic branding, Willow was an easy selection for the logotype, Willow is a very identifiable typeface based on the Willow Tea Room in Scotland.

Hero, is a site specific response to the authentic beauty of a New England barn. The steel “legs” bend under the weight of carrying the “hero”, the century-old, hand hewn, chestnut timbers made up of beams and posts of a renovated barn. Perhaps it is a returning to the woods after their honorable tenure of over a century supporting the homestead barn. The mortises are opened up to allow light and the green leaves of the backdrop of surrounding trees to be visible. The design bisects two land forms; the horizon of the nearby range and the slope of the lawn. It is framed within the open doors of the barn. The scale reflects the trees in the background, as if the beams are snagged in the branches after falling.


Many people will actually go for artificial trees, which are of very high quality, decorative and life-like and can only be distinguished from live trees when touched. Most of them are palm artificial trees, which have a glaring greenish color that gives a house the sense of tranquility and wellbeing. The house looks more inviting and warm with our unique artificial trees around, however there are the main reasons why people will prefer artificial trees as opposed to the live ones. They include among many;
This gives artificial flowers an upper hand; however this isn’t to say that live plants aren’t good.


This piece was created for a neighbour, here in Parks. AZ
She wanted a garden feature piece that would remind her of Summer, when all around is covered in snow. Working together, She and Ross came up with the idea of ‘SPRUNG’ flowers. Shooting out from beneath the snow, these all year round glass flowers have become the envy of her neighbours. With the addition of ground lighting, the art becomes much more than ‘just garden art’. The adjoining house enjoys its very own ‘aurora borealis’ light shows, as the art takes on a Second, Third and Forth dimension.
From corporate commissions to private garden pieces, adding a touch of handmade nature to your garden of Eden. Wherever that may be.
Emulating nature when asked to, or matching corporate colors to produce striking and memorable ‘Business Art’, Ross is able to use glass in ways you never thought possible. Working with space planners, architects, landscape gardeners and direct with the client, Ross will produce unique ‘Glass Art’ that has real purpose and reason in the space it’s destined for.
If you have a project or space that would benefit from more visual ‘impact’, or you’re just curious about what can be achieved, get in touch with Ross. He like’s nothing better than open, creative conversation about color, light and of course, Glass.


Our last major install of the summer was a challenging one. We used the 10x10 which had to be attached to a building and extend over a newly laid pation area. The event was a 25th wedding anniversary for approx 40-50 people.
It is always challenging attaching to a building as you still have to create the necessary tension. There was a bit of adjusting to be made and swapping of poles but eventually we got there and i think the results were worth it. The outdoor area itself was amazing. The cornish hedge created a solid boundary and the planting was very impressive. Best of all was the patio area. Curved slate and a creative design brought the whole area together. A perfect space for an outdoor celebration.


Homeowner’s Association Regulations
Depending on where you live, there may be certain HOA regulations that you will need to consider. If you live in a housing development, this is most likely the case. If you live on fairly isolated private property, HOA regulations might not be an issue. However, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Choosing a gazebo style
Your main consideration when choosing a gazebo style should be how well it fits with the design of your house and other nearby structures. Shape, color, and materials all play part in determining this. Another thing to consider is whether your gazebo fits with the environment. For example, a wood gazebo looks good in areas with trees. Ultimately, choosing the right gazebo style comes down to matter of preference. Pick the style that you like.
Choosing a gazebo size
Making the right decision on your gazebo’s size requires knowing what you want to do with it. If you want it simply for appearance and personal use, then a smaller 8×8 gazebo should be reasonable. However, if you plan to use it for parties and other events, you probably will want a larger gazebo. If you don’t know exactly what you want to do with your gazebo, it may be wise to choose one that is medium-sized such as a 10×10. Also keep in mind when considering size that larger gazebos are more expensive. If you have a tighter budget, a small pine or log gazebo might be your best option.
How to choose the right spot for your gazebo
Knowing where to place your gazebo can be difficult but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s a few guidelines that can help to make your decision easier:
- Gazebos always look good in or next to a garden. If you have an area with flowers, consider putting your gazebo nearby.
- Find a flat area. Avoid slanted ground or ditches where water may build up.
- Consider when you will most likely use your gazebo and then place it in an area that is shaded or where the roof can block any direct sunlight.
- Put your gazebo in any accessible location. You might even want to make a path to your gazebo.

Nimble-fingered residents have helped to create a living willow arbour in the grounds of The Elms Retirement Park, celebrating a centuries-old Lincolnshire craft.
The park residents were joined in their task by local willow artist Alison Walling who is one of the county’s best-known proponents and teachers of the skill.
The creation of the arbour was part of a willow-weaving day organised by the park, and which drew enthusiastic support from many residents.
With careful tending, the arbour – which surrounds a timber bench – should last for many years, according to Tracey Coulson who is a member of the park-owning family.
She says that The Elms, which has more than 300 park homes set in over 60 acres of countryside, has long taken a special pride in helping to protect the natural heritage.
Willow growing, harvesting and basket making was an important source of employment in Lincolnshire in the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. In the late 1800’s there were over 320 basket makers in Lincolnshire, rising to over 450 by the early 1920’s.
“This addition to the park will be a reminder of our Lincolnshire heritage and a great feature on the park.” said Tracey Coulson.
The park has been praised in recent times by botanist David Bellamy for its many environmental achievements, and presented with his prestigious conservation award.
Wildlife initiatives have included the planting of high nectar producing shrubs which attract a wide range of butterfly species, and which are irrigated by harvested rainwater.
The park also carefully maintains its three lakes which act as a magnet for many different types of birds and aquatic life, from ducks to dragonflies.
Owls and other bird species are additionally encouraged by the siting of nesting boxes in the grounds, and The Elms has also created wildflower areas where many different varieties flourish.
Many park residents have also helped make The Elms a natural paradise by sustaining wildlife areas in their gardens which provide shelter, habitats and feeding resources for birds and animals.
“We all had a fascinating day in the company of Alison Walling, and learnt a lot about the long history of the willow in Lincolnshire,” said Tracey Coulson.
“The arbour is a magnificent structure in which many people played a part under Alison’s guidance, and we’re really looking forward to seeing it green up next spring!” she added.

Outdoor lighting in Melbourne is becoming a trend. Creating a design for your home may not be at the top list of the things you want to do your home improvement project. However, for sure there are some practical and aesthetic reasons why you decide to do it. It can be to increase your home’s safety and security or to provide added appeal to it. Here are some tips that can be of big help as you try to create a simple but professional-looking lighting effects for your home.
Among the very first things you have to consider is your recent setup. Do you have light fixtures already installed or you have the needed outlets and connections for the job? Most newly constructed homes today are equipped with outdoor lighting sources on the left and right corners. If there is no basic setup such as this, then you can hire an electrician to do it for you.
If your home has less conventional façade, it would be best to install additional lighting sources so you can highlight specific areas.
Choose your Subject
Regardless if you want to light the front or backyard of your home, you have to decide on the things that you want to highlight in your design. Do you want to highlight the shrubs or trees? Or your landscape, the fountain, or the courtyard area? It is very common for the lighting sources to be as high as the eaves of houses or even higher. However, exceptions are always allowed. You can opt to combine high and low lights or try other options that will suit your overall design.
The most common choices for a Melbourne outdoor lighting include path lights, spotlights, and flood lights. You may want to consider a combination of these three if you want your design to be more elaborate. Flood lights cast a wide beam that is perfect for large areas while spotlights disperse a narrower beam of light. Path lights are best for paths and lighting walkways.
Temperature and Degrees
CCT or correlated color temperature is another important factor to consider in your lighting design. This is the light color produced by your light source. It is measured in a temperature scale or Kelvin (K). The higher its Kelvin is, the closer the color of light will be to the actual sunlight. When buying a bulb, you can see the Kelvin value on the packaging.
The degree spread of the lamp plays an important role when thinking of what you want to illuminate. At the same time, you should opt for fixtures for external lights so your light source is obscured or hidden.
If you want to light a path in your yard or your garden, you can place your light inside of a trellis or a tree as it faces down the area that you want to illuminate. This is called as downlighting.
On the other hand, you can do moonlighting. You can achieve this by placing a big light fixture high up a tree and make sure that it is angled toward the ground so you can achieve shadow patterns on the ground like a natural moonlight. Another effect you can try is silhouetting. You can place a spotlight behind a feature. This will create an illuminated backdrop.
Making your outdoor lighting Melbourne a success can be made easier with all these tips. Also, when you know what you want and how to achieve them, the entire process becomes a lot more fun and exciting.


The Garden of Azaleas, also known as Viatori Park, was realized by the homonymous owner, with the aim of creating a garden on the model of nineteenth-century English gardens.
Over the years, 500 varieties of azaleas, with a prevalence of Azalea Japonica, 150 varieties of rhododendrons coming from all over the world, over 300 types of rare roses (both ancient and modern), 50 varieties of camellias and 120 of magnolias, mostly coming from the Lord Peter Smithers and Van Veen collections of Lugano, have been collected. Photos below depict some of the most beautiful magnolias of the garden.
Challenging Gorizia’s climate, which is not suitable for growing azaleas, and reclaiming the soil, Professor Viatori has created a real park of wonders, making an artificial pond on a pre-existing Second World War bomb crater.
The area also comprises a wide selection of spireas and many other “background” species that complete the various scenes created thanks to the “gardener’s” imagination, culture, technique and passion.

PRESERVING OUR NATURAL HABITAT
The City of San Antonio continuously strives to set standards that serve to improve the overall health and well-being of its residents. Along with overseeing the development and improvement of land, it is the responsibility of the Development Services Department, under the guidelines of the Landscaping and Tree Preservation Ordinance, to maintain, preserve and add to the existing tree population. The goals of the Landscaping and Tree Preservation Ordinance are to enhance the aesthetic environment, to provide health benefits to our community, and to continue to provide elements essential to establish and maintain a strong ecosystem. In order to assist with meeting these goals, the City provides incentives to encourage the maximum preservation of trees.
In April 2016, the City of San Antonio (COSA) officially became a Tree City USA. This program offers direction, assistance and national recognition for our community and a framework for sustainable tree programs, initiatives, and ordinances.
Recognition as a Tree City USA provides us with a great opportunity to celebrate the importance of having a healthy and well maintained tree canopy throughout our community,” said Rod Sanchez, Director of Development Services Department (DSD). “Learning proper care for our trees, their value and benefits will safeguard and enhance the quality of life we all enjoy in San Antonio.”
Started in 1976, Tree City USA is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Forest Services and National Association of State Foresters. An incorporated municipality of any size can qualify by meeting these four fundamental standards:
- A Tree Board or Department that protects, preserves, plants and maintains city trees – COSA created the Tree Preservation Section in 1997,
- A tree care ordinance
- A community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita
- An Arbor Day Observance and Proclamation
The City created a Tree Preservation team in 1997, in conjunction with the first Tree Preservation Ordinance approved by City Council that same year. Today, the City Arborist manages a staff of 13 under the umbrella of DSD. In a city with an estimated 1.4 million residents, the city’s Development Services, Parks and Recreation, and Transportation and Capital Improvements departments have an annual estimated combined budget of $3.4 million dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of trees in the city. This investment by the city includes community outreach programs to raise public awareness about the value and benefits provided by a healthy and diverse tree canopy. Trees benefit our city by reducing energy costs and consumption, boosting property values, increasing stronger connectivity and sense of community. The City of San Antonio is now one of the more than 3,400 towns and cities across the nation recognized as a Tree City USA.

First Lady Melania Trump has announced a new project! President Donald Trump’s wife, 50, plans to renew and restore the White House’s iconic Rose Garden this summer. “Even in the most difficult times, the @WhiteHouse Rose Garden has stood as a symbol of strength & continuity,” the mom of one penned alongside photos of the garden on July 27. The Be Best founder, who is honorary chairwoman of the Committee for the Preservation of the White House, wants to preserve the garden’s history and beauty for generations to come.
“The very act of planting a garden involves hard work and hope in the possibility of a bright future,” Melania said in a statement. “Preserving the history and beauty of the White House and its grounds is a testament to our nation’s commitment to the care of this landscape and our dedication to American ideals, safeguarding them for our children and their children for generations to come.”
Two landscape architecture firms, Perry Guillot, Inc and Oehme, van Sweden & Associates/OvS, have collaborated on the garden’s final design plan. According to the White House, the plan will provide a renewal of the design created by Rachel Lambert “Bunny” Mellon during the Kennedy Administration, which has been the “guiding blueprint for the Rose Garden since the installation in 1962.”

Even in the most difficult times, the @WhiteHouse Rose Garden has stood as a symbol of strength & continuity. Today, it is my pleasure to announce our plans to renew & restore this iconic space so that we preserve its history & beauty for generations to come. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/first-lady-melania-trump-announces-plans-restore-enhance-white-house-rose-garden/
The White House noted that “decades of use and necessary changes to support the modern presidency have taken a toll” on the Rose Garden and have thus made it “more difficult to appreciate the symmetry of Rachel’s plan.” The new plans aim to return the garden to its “original ‘62 footprint and help ensure it will thrive with improved infrastructure, better drainage, and a healthier environment for plantings that reduce the risk of leaf blight.”
The restoration project, which is supported by the National Park Service and being funded with private donations, will also include “improved Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility, utilities, and support for audiovisual and broadcasting needs that will allow for the continued enjoyment of the garden’s natural beauty and storied history.”


The work has now been completed in the 3rd year of our bunker refurbishment programme at Shortlands Golf Club.
This year was mainly focused on the 4/13th and 9/18th holes, where matches can often be won or lost.
On the 4/13th hole, we’ve reshaped both bunkers splitting the right greenside bunker into two separate pot bunkers and reducing the left greenside bunker. During the work, we’ve also built-in new drainage under the green to prevent the puddle from appearing on the left rear of the green. The front of this bunker was often littered with leaves and twigs from the overhanging large tree alongside and has now been shaped into a run-off area with the potential to provide a better temporary green during the winter.
In doing the drainage work to improve the 4/13th green we’ve had to dig up part of the green which has been raised and seeded. This area will continue to be out of play for a few months until the grass has rooted, and the surface is able to receive golfing traffic and recover from use.
The 9/18th greenside bunkers have both been reshaped and will be back in play along with the 4/13th bunkers as soon as the surrounding turf has rooted and bedded in properly. We anticipate all the bunkers being back in play early to mid-May.
Due to several factors including the weather we did not complete the work scheduled for the 3rd/12th right greenside bunkers. The back bunker is in the process of being filled and will be seeded in the next few weeks and become a grass bunker. The front bunker will remain in play and rescheduled for a future refurbishment iteration.

Premier Moss Rock is located on a unique property in the Greenhorn Mountain Range of south-central Colorado. The boulders found here exhibit beautiful and rugged Rocky Mountain tones with many covered in moss and lichen growth. Ancient glacial movement carved out the mountains and deposited a full range of colorful Granite and Gneiss boulders. This naturally occurring area was created when glaciers moved through the land, which deposited boulders in a glacial moraine as it left a watery path. Having been untouched for thousands of years, it is the optimal environment to produce and preserve the unique characteristics of the decorative landscaping boulders. These big boulders are ideal for creating a rustic, yet stunning and natural look to compliment your home or landscape.

Though durable, stamped concrete isn’t meant for substantial weight-bearing applications and is best left to Stamped Concrete Charles Town WV professionals. Here are nine reasons why.
Concrete is one of the most durable paving materials available, and it can last a lot longer than pavers or asphalt. In addition, it does not require regular resurfacing and treatments like those needed for pavers. This makes stamped concrete a more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly option.
In addition, concrete is much easier to clean than other paving materials. It can be swept and hosed down, allowing it to stand up well to car traffic, pool chemicals, and weather elements. A stamped concrete surface is also less prone to cracking than other types of paving materials.
The color hardener is sprayed on the surface of the concrete as soon as it reaches its required plasticity, and it can be spread evenly across a large area. Once the hardener has been applied, it will need to sit a bit to allow it to set. It is best to have several helpers on hand to keep this process moving quickly, and the area should be covered as soon as possible to prevent dust and dirt from settling on the concrete.
Once the concrete is dry and has been sanded down, it can be stamped using a special stamp that resembles a brick or cobblestone. This technique gives the concrete a look that is unique and aesthetically pleasing, without the expense of purchasing expensive stones or other paving materials.
Stamped concrete can be used in a variety of ways, including patios, driveways, pool decks, and more. It can add a beautiful, natural look to any yard, and it is an excellent choice for homeowners who want to increase the value of their property. The concrete can be stained in a wide variety of colors, so you can choose the exact look that you want for your space.
While stamped concrete is a highly durable material, it can crack over time. To minimize this, the concrete is often poured at a slightly higher elevation than normal, and it is cut with contraction joints. These joints are designed to control cracking and protect the concrete from excessive stress or settling. However, the joints may still need to be repaired if the concrete is subjected to damage or if the soil underneath it changes over time.
Stamped concrete is becoming increasingly popular for patios and pool decks, as well as for driveways and garage floors. It is a versatile and inexpensive alternative to pavers or tile, and it can be made in a wide range of colors and designs. It can also mimic the look of stone, wood, or brick, making it a great option for any outdoor living space.
The process of creating stamped concrete is simple, but it requires a bit of preparation and careful execution. You will need to prepare the concrete surface by removing any existing materials, like dirt or gravel. You will also need to compact the area before applying the concrete. Afterward, you will need to wait for the concrete to cure before you can start working on it. During this time, you should keep the area clear of weeds and other debris.
Once the concrete has cured, you can begin the stamping process. Start by spreading a layer of color release on the concrete, then place the concrete stamps in the desired position. Be sure to read the instructions that came with your concrete stamps and apply them evenly across the entire surface of the concrete.
After the concrete stamps are in place, gently press down on them using firm but consistent pressure. Be careful not to over-emphasize an area, as this may distort the appearance of the finished product. When you’re done, check the concrete for any misalignments and overlapping areas. Once you’re satisfied that the concrete is properly stamped, use a roller to smooth out the concrete and remove any creases or bumps.
After the concrete is finished, you can use a sealer to protect it from the elements. This will help the concrete hold its color and prevent it from fading or staining over time. In addition, it will make the surface less slippery and easier to clean. Once the sealer has dried, you can enjoy your new stamped concrete patio or driveway for years to come!
As opposed to paving materials like brick pavers, which are installed on a layer of gravel and require periodic grading to keep the surface intact, stamped concrete is placed directly in the ground. This makes it much more durable and less prone to damage, particularly in high-traffic areas. In addition, it is considerably less expensive than pavers.
The low maintenance requirements of stamped concrete make it a popular option for pool decks, patios, and driveways. A simple sweep with a push broom and the occasional rinse with a garden hose is all that is typically needed to maintain its appearance. Regular resealing is also recommended to protect the stamped concrete from stains and other elements.
Concrete stamps are available in a variety of patterns, including those that resemble natural stone such as slate and flagstone. Brick, cobblestone and wood patterns are also popular options. Customized stamps can even create unique patterns that incorporate a monogram, logo, or other design element.
Once the concrete has been poured and cured, it is ready for stamping. The stamping process is relatively quick, but the window of opportunity for ideal conditions is limited. It is important to ensure that the layout of the stamps is carefully diagrammed ahead of time and that there are enough workers on hand to perform the work at a rapid pace.
After the concrete has been stamped and resealed, it will remain attractive for years to come. However, it is important to note that the resealing process must be repeated every two to three years. This is because the resealing material helps to prevent water, stains, and chemicals from penetrating the concrete surface and damaging it.
Although stamped concrete is more durable and low maintenance than other paving materials, it can still be slippery when wet. Therefore, it is important to apply a non-slip additive or choose a textured finish for safety purposes.
As a result of its durability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal, stamped concrete can add significant value to your home. It is an environmentally friendly alternative to other paving materials, and its one-of-a-kind look can help you stand out from the crowd.
If you are looking for a way to add value and style to your home, consider stamped concrete. This material is affordable and durable. It also offers a wide range of design options, including color and texture. It can be used to create a unique patio, walkway, or driveway. It is a great alternative to pavers, cobblestones, and bricks. It is poured in one continuous slab, so it does not require as much labor and time as other materials.
The cost of stamped concrete depends on the complexity of the job, but a professional will charge $15-$22 per square foot. This includes the cost of concrete, stamps, and coloring agents. A complex project will take longer to complete and will require a skilled contractor.
Adding a stamped design to a new or existing concrete surface is a relatively easy process, but it is important to plan and follow all steps carefully. Using an appropriate concrete mix is vital, as is ensuring the concrete cures promptly. It is also important to watch for signs of moisture damage and repair these immediately.
Stamped concrete can be installed faster than other materials, such as pavers or cobblestone, and it can be used in places where a natural stone installation would not be feasible. It is also less expensive than many other paving materials, and it requires less maintenance. The only real drawback is the need for periodic resealing to protect the concrete from weather elements and other contaminants.
When it comes to stamped concrete, you can choose from a wide variety of colors and patterns. It can mimic the look of other materials, such as stone or brick, and it can even be made to look like wood. It is also possible to incorporate a logo or monogram into the design, which can make your home stand out from the rest.
Adding a stamped design to your concrete can increase the visual appeal of your home and improve its curb appeal. However, it is important to hire a professional for the installation process to ensure that the design is executed properly. It is also important to prepare the concrete correctly before stamping, as this will help prevent cracking later on. It is also important to use a quality concrete sealant to protect the concrete from staining and fading.

The Living Levels
Published: 17 October 2019
The Living Levels Landscape Partnership (LLLP) has come together to deliver a programme of work which will promote and reconnect people to the heritage, wildlife and wild beauty of the historic landscape of the Gwent Levels.
The Programme seeks to conserve and restore the important natural heritage features of the area, to develop a far greater appreciation of the value of the landscape and finally to inspire people to learn about and participate in the heritage of the Gwent Levels. A £2.5 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund will help us lever in further funding and deliver a £4 million scheme over the next 3.5 years.
Our Scheme covers an area of 225km squared extending from Cardiff and the River Rhymney in the west to Chepstow on the River Wye in Monmouthshire to the east. Predominantly low-lying agricultural land, criss-crossed with an intricate network of drainage channels and field ditches, the project area also includes the inter-tidal zone of saltmarshes, mudflats and sands that are revealed at low tide along the northern coastline of the Severn Estuary within Wales.
See the Living Levels website for more information about the Gwent Levels and activities and events for all, and click here to see the July - December events booklet.


How to Prepare Your Yard for Fall
One who has a lovely yard, one that is full of the most beautiful shrubs and trees, might love spending time in it, feeling that it certainly is the best part of the property.

Here, then, are some things that homeowners can do if they want to be sure that they are giving their gardens the best care during the summer, and preparing them for fall.
If one has a yard that he or she wishes to prepare for the fall, one thing that he or she should do is to give the plants a good trimming. You might notice that, usually, your shrubs and other plants grow a lot during the summer, as it is a season that is full of warmth, sunshine, and rains that bring so much water. If one wishes to enter the fall weather with a garden that is neat and pretty, then, he or she should go around to all of the plants and shrubs, and make sure that they are neither too long nor overgrown.
If you want to enter the fall season with a garden that you can sit in and just enjoy, another thing that you can do is to ensure that all of its surroundings are as clean as they can be. If one notices that there are a lot of stains on the garden wall, for instance, he or she can get them removed through pressure washing, a highly powerful type of washing which can get rid of the most difficult of stains. When you have these stains removed and you look around your garden, you will really notice a huge difference, as stains can really do a lot to make a place seem shabby and uncared for.

We incorporate local social and cultural aspects into these universal architectural movements to create physical icons globally appealing while intrinsically linked to their locale. Where applicable, this is achieved through the involvement of local stakeholders in the design phase through dialogue and community surveys.
Space and the physical environment is of utmost importance in design and engineering on all projects. Aspects of a project’s physical environment we examine during design include the natural environs and ecosystems of an area, surrounding buildings and landscaped areas, and whether the project is in a rural or urban setting. We undertake all relevant and necessary environmental and urban impact studies as part of the design phase to ensure we are preserving sustainably the physical surroundings of any project.

Proposed Governors Island historic district lighting hearing, Round 2
Landmarks & Preservation Committee (LPC) Tues Jan 31st, 9:30am
Approximate Time: 11:00am-11:30am (Be Here by 10:00am)
Hearing links and info: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/lpc/hearings/hearings.page
There will not be public testimony this time, but one can still email email@example.com because while the Trust for GI’s revised plan to be presented tomorrow is an improvement, it doesn’t go far enough. In particular, while reduced in number, oppressive ‘moonlighting’ fixtures remain in the historic district and the massive poles are only reduced 5 feet from 35 – 30ft. Also there’s no consideration of dedicated ‘dark-sky’ areas which would benefit wildlife and humans.
– M.A.G.I.C.’s letter of concerns and suggestions to the Trust here:
– The Trust’s revised plan Here:
Largely due to public input on October 11, 2022 the LPC asked the Trust for GI (TGI) to come back with a different proposal or a reframing for lighting in the GI historic district.
