We would like to say a massive thank-you to Dave & Andy of Stratford Landscapes for the fantastic job you have made of our beautiful new garden!
After moving into our New Build property we had a completely
blank canvas to work with i.e. mud & dirt and nothing else!
“Fear not” after meeting with Dave he asked us what we wanted to achieve and then worked with us to design our new garden from scratch. After two days of hard work from Dave & Andy we are left with a garden we could not be more pleased with. As complete novices in this area we wanted someone’s advice and Dave could not have been more
helpful from start to finish. He selected us some beautiful plants has created us a lovely patio area, and laid us a great new lawn.
He also suggested that
we have an additional patio area in the form of a circle at the end of the garden which looks great!
Everyone that has seen our new garden loves it and I would not hesitate i
n recommending your services to anyone else.
& Best Wishes,
Matt & Bex Hayden.

We received a commission from DENT Agency in San Francisco to revitalize the Electric Vehicle Parking Bays at Westfield in Santa Monica. These bays had become lackluster, devoid of any visual appeal, and in dire need of a transformation.
Our design activation for the Electric Vehicle Parking Bays revolved around simplicity, utilizing a vibrant green color scheme and employing graphic illustrations to portray an urban/city landscape. We incorporated relevant icons and cleverly integrated trees to symbolize the eco-friendly nature of electric vehicles, unifying the visuals and establishing a cohesive theme throughout our designs. Additionally, we integrated messaging that complemented the overall effect and enhanced the bays’ aesthetic appeal.
Upon beholding the final results, we were delighted to witness the astonishing transformation we had achieved. What was once a dull and dreary location had been metamorphosed into a visually appealing and enjoyable space, thanks to our innovative designs.

CLC Dominican Republic Advocacy Team
From CLC Dominican Republic and inspired by the encyclical Laudato Si’, we created the initiative Siembra Tu Frente (Planting our Fronts) as a tool for citizen empowerment to contribute together to improve our planet.
It consists of joining efforts to plant our fronts with predetermined endemic species of trees that help oxygenate, lower the temperature, absorb carbon dioxide, and help biodiversity.
The place chosen to start the tree plan is the central area of the city of Santo Domingo due to its high concentration of buildings that contribute to its desertification.
To implement the initiative, we engaged with authorities in the Santo Domingo City Hall where the tree plan was received well to such an extent that Siemnra Tu Frente is now part of a larger initiative – the Urban Tree Plan of Santo Domingo.
Siembra Tu Frente, within the larger plan, is the citizen initiative for the tertiary residential streets. The authorities, along with other institutions, will manage the avenues and main streets. The plan is in process and there are some pilot planting areas identified.
This story is also available in Spanish.


We are delighted to present the finished front area of the building which has been landscaped, and is a huge improvement to the appearance of the Centre.
Particular thanks to Danny Cronly Landscaping and Garden Maintenance for a fantastic job done. Danny was out in ALL WEATHERS last weekend (including the rain and snow!) to finish the project for us.
Thanks also to Kildare Co Council for funding this project through the Community Enhancement Grant Scheme.

Uplighting for Parties & Events
Uplighting involves placing specialty lighting fixtures at the base of trees, ferns and other greenery to create a streak of light on the plant. It often results in beautifully textured shadows on nearby walls and ceilings. Uplighting a large tree can really enhance the visual appeal of the tree. It is a simple way to add elegance to any party and provide subtle ambient light to the surrounding landscaping. Uplighting can also involve highlighting pillars or interesting columns, especially in ballrooms or mansions. It provides a soft glow to the room.

Our staining process gives variation in color like real stone, that you do not get with traditional flagstone concrete.
Create over-sized stones on pool decks, patios, porches, and more. Stone texture troweling is done over hand-crafted patterns followed by a layered antiquing process for a natural flagstone look. This system is superior to traditional flagstone concrete for many reasons. One being Grand Flagstone is completely customizable.

Medway Planning and Economic Development Board
In March, the Medway Planning and Economic Development Board Design Review Committee began a series of public meetings on Exelon’s project site plan. We appreciate the time and effort of officials and residents who carefully reviewed and provided comments on the multiple facets of the site plan.
During the process, we worked with the Committee and we carefully considered comments from local residents on topics including traffic management, noise, lighting, fencing, landscaping and security. As a result, the final plan includes additional trees, taller landscaping plants and earth-tone paint, all of which will improve the appearance of the site.
The final site plan was approved on July 26 by the Medway Planning and Economic Development Board. You can view the approval posted on the Town of Medway’s website here. Updates to our site plan will soon be included in our electronic file room.
Exelon anticipates a decision on our petition to construct the project from the Massachusetts Energy Facility Siting Board (EFSB) soon.
As outlined in Host Community Agreement (HCA), Exelon will work with the Town of Medway to develop more detailed construction management and traffic plans prior to commencing construction work.

The Vaughan City-wide Implementation Manual and Financial Strategy Plan was undertaken in response to the need to create a comprehensive design manual for urban intensification areas across the City. The study required the development of a level of service concept to better clarify appropriate design for context and to ensure that city-wide development will be completed with a consistent character. A large component of the project was the creation of a dynamic financial model to develop consistent costing and reporting of financial commitments for streetscape master plan projects. The level of service concept and financial model were developed in conjunction with each other to ensure that context, design and cost were given equal consideration. Read together, the implementation manual and financial strategy are meant to provide a consistent, efficient and informative document for the City to better plan and budget streetscape development moving forward.

The National Arbor City Awards will once again take place this year (2018), this is a partnership between the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), TOTAL South Africa and the Institute for Environment and Recreation Management (IERM). TOTAL South Africa is the main sponsor of these exciting awards. The whole idea behind this competition is to encourage local municipalities to green their areas of jurisdiction and promote environmental conservation and development, thereby securing a healthy living environment for residents in all settlement areas. It provides incentives and rewards to municipalities who are doing their best in terms of greening and landscape management, especially in the townships and new settlement areas. The competition further encourages the municipalities to create awareness on the importance of green landscapes and provides a platform for identifying challenges facing municipalities in the area of greening their environment.


Spring is almost here, and that means it’s time to start planning how you want to decorate your backyard. As you will soon be spending much more time outdoors and creating new wonderful memories, what could be better than doing so in an area that you love just as much as the friends and family you will be spending time with?
With this awesome DIY project, thanks to Brett and Lauren at Little White House blog, you can remodel your backyard to enhance its beauty and create a great space that you will never want to leave. The couple got this idea as they have been remodeling their 100 year old farmhouse. As a part of their fantastic work, the couple created a retreat complete with an outdoor pergola and fire pit. There are even swings to add more seating to this backyard get away.
While this project does take a little extra money and time than some, the end result is completely worth it. Brett and Lauren, for instance, spent around $2,300, but the price of paying someone else to create a space like this for you would easily be more than double.
With a little time, some hard work, and this TUTORIAL, you could be on your way to making your own dream backyard today.


All you need to build them are some lengths of pressure treated \/ tannalised wood and some wooden stakes. Of course you can use other materials, such as old \/ new railway sleepers, brick or stone, logs, plastic raised beds are also available to buy. In fact nothing solid enough and safe, avoid any substances that may contain toxic compounds, or with sharp edges. Just cut the lengths of wood to the size of bed needed, recall a 4 to 5ft wide bed allows to get easy care without needing to step on the ground which might cause compaction. Mark out and dig a narrow trench about 2 inches deep for the planks to sit in on their borders, then support the plank with stakes driven in to the earth every 3-4ft.
For additional stability it can help to have stakes on both the inside and outside edges and maybe nail or screw the boards to one another where they meet in the corners. Ensure the boards are good and perpendicular as you drive in the stakes. The stakes should be thrown in and sit 1 -2 inches below the top border of the plank. Sometimes it can help to line the inside border of the planks with a non permeable liner, or plastic. This keeps the damp ground off the wood and lengthens the life span of the boards a little.
Once constructed the raised bed may be full of good quality soil which has been improved with organic matter like well rotted farm manure or compost. Spread the soil consistently making certain there are no air pockets remain at the edges and corners. Fill the bed to the top of the boards, as it’ll, in time, settle and the degree may sink. Paths between raised beds must be lots wide enough to walk along and ideally wide enough for a wheel barrow. Between raised beds I like to put down a weed membrane on the dirt surface and put a 2 inches deep layer of mulch.

A view of Belo Garden in downtown Dallas. Belo Garden is one of three major downtown parks to open since 2009. The Belo Foundation is contributing $30 million towards building four new downtown parks identified in the 2013 downtown parks master plan. (File/Dallas Morning News staff)
Looking to build on the success of Klyde Warren Park, Belo Garden and Main Street Garden, the Belo Foundation announced an ambitious plan Thursday to realize a longstanding vision for downtown by creating 17 acres of new green space through the construction of four major parks.
The plan calls for $70 million in private and public funding to build the parks within the next 10 years, with the Belo Foundation pledging $30 million toward the effort. The four parks -- Harwood Park, Carpenter Park, Pacific Plaza and West End Plaza -- were listed as high priorities in the 2013 update of the downtown parks master plan.
“Great cities have great parks," Belo Foundation chairman Robert Decherd said. “This is such an immediate and significant opportunity to change the way downtown works as a community.”
The initiative aims to continue the momentum that has seen three new parks open downtown since 2009.
Dallas has long lagged behind other cities like Chicago, Atlanta, Denver and Houston when it comes to downtown park space. Decherd, a key leader in the downtown parks movement over the last decade, said these open spaces play a "pivotal role" in the life and development of a city.
Plan to fund downtown parks
The Belo Foundation will reconstitute as Parks for Downtown Dallas and devote $30 million, nearly all of its assets, to build four parks: Carpenter Park, Pacific Plaza, Harwood Park and West End Plaza
Parks for Downtown Dallas will seek to raise an additional $5 million for a total pledge of $35 million. John and Cele Carpenter III have already pledged $3 million of the $5 million for the renovation of Carpenter Park.
The $35 million committed by Parks for Downtown Dallas will be offered to the city through a dollar-for-dollar matching grant. The city will be responsible for contributing matching capital, most likely through a bond issue that would be voted on in 2017.
Each of the four parks would be endowed with an operating fund.
Officials expect the $70 million would fully fund construction and operating endowments for the four parks.
Parks for Downtown Dallas estimates that with a full match by the city, the four parks could be built in 7 to 10 years.
As part of its transition to a parks-specific focus, the Belo Foundation will make a $1.5 million grant to the University of Texas Moody College of Communication to support digital innovation programs at the School of Journalism. An additional $500,000 grant will go to Southern Methodist University to establish a new endowment to support efforts by the school’s Division of Journalism to recruit students of diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic backgrounds.

“As downtown becomes more residential, as more businesses move back into the center of the city, parks bring people together,” he said.
The impact of the parks movement can be seen throughout Dallas’ rapidly transforming downtown - something the realization of the master plan could hasten. Decherd said the goal is to build all four of the proposed parks within the next seven to 10 years.
Klyde Warren Park, built atop the Woodall Rodgers Freeway, has become a key link between the central business district and the Arts District, providing a large community space and driving up property values in the booming area.
Main Street Garden, located at Main and St. Paul streets, has brought new life to a formerly moribund stretch of downtown. Belo Garden, at Griffin and Main streets, has provided a serene oasis with a water feature and shaded seating amid a thicket of high-rises.
During a celebratory press conference at City Hall Thursday afternoon, Mayor Mike Rawlings said the city has a unique opportunity to leverage the Belo Foundation’s gift to “change the face” of downtown.
“Downtown is everybody’s neighborhood,” he said. “What we’re finding is that parks are the steroids of economic development. When you put them in there, great things start to happen.”
The increased focus on creating green space in the urban core will be reflected in a new name for the Belo Foundation, which has reconstituted as Parks for Downtown Dallas following a trustee vote Wednesday afternoon. Decherd, current vice chairman and former chief executive of A.H. Belo Corporation, which owns the Dallas Morning News, will continue to serve as chairman of Parks for Downtown Dallas.
The foundation’s $30 million pledge, nearly all of its endowment assets, will be offered to the city through a dollar-for-dollar matching grant. Parks for Downtown Dallas plans to raise an additional $5 million from private donors for the matching grant fund, bringing the total amount of private funding available to the city to $35 million.
The city’s share of public dollars would come from a bond issue expected to go before voters by 2017. If the city’s contribution is fully funded, a total of $70 million would be available, enough to cover the estimated construction costs. A portion of the $70 million would also provide operating endowments to pay for ongoing maintenance for each of the proposed parks as well as Main Street Garden. Belo Garden and Klyde Warren Park already have operating endowments.
The Parks Plan
The greening of downtown Dallas continues with the Belo Foundation announcing a new plan Thursday to inject $70 million of public and private investment into building four major parks in the city’s core over the next decade. If the effort is successful, the four new parks would join the recently built Klyde Warren Park, Belo Garden and Main Street Garden as significant open spaces amidst the high-rises of downtown.
Click the highlighted parks on the map to see more information about each park, or use the arrows above to view info on the seven parks.
"We’re not doing this alone. We need a lot of people to get interested and support the city," Decherd said.
As part of Thursday’s announcement, John Carpenter III, with his wife Cele, pledged $3 million toward the development of Carpenter Park, named in honor of the civic leader John Carpenter Sr.
The city plans to expand the existing Carpenter Plaza by removing several streets that cut through the area to create an 8.7 acre park that’s envisioned to serve as a link between downtown and Deep Ellum, with recreational activities under the highway overpass. Decherd said the design will accommodate the possibility that Interstate 345 will be lowered to grade, an idea that’s been widely debated recently.
As part of the park’s construction, a famed Robert Irwin sculpture will be restored and re-installed under the renowned sculptor's direction.
Although private dollars would help pay for construction and land acquisition, the city would own the parks and be responsible for their management.
The city currently owns land needed to complete Pacific Plaza and Carpenter Park, with the Belo Foundation having acquired much but not all of the needed space for Harwood Park. Design work has already begun for Carpenter Park and Harwood Park, Dallas Park and Recreation director Willis Winters said.

The city is negotiating with private owners for land for West End Plaza, although a final site has not been determined.
Decherd said it’s critical that work begins as soon as possible, before rising downtown land values make the projects too expensive. Building downtown parks will also be more difficult once costly improvements at Fair Park and construction of the Trinity River park are on the city’s books, he said.
"We are and will be shovel ready. We can build these parks," he said.
Thursday’s announcement continues a long legacy of the Belo Foundation and the Decherd Family supporting downtown parks.
Decherd and his wife, Maureen, along with the Belo Foundation and several other donors helped fund the $15 million construction of Belo Garden, which opened in 2012.
The Decherd Foundation donated $150,000 to the city in 2012, with Maureen and Robert Decherd personally contributing an additional $15,000, to fund an update to the downtown parks master plan.
That plan laid out the vision for four new parks that Parks for Downtown Dallas is working to make a reality.
Before that happens, the city council and the Park and Recreation Board will have to agree to include funding for the projects in the next bond program. Decherd emphasized that Thursday’s gift does not obligate the city to spend any money on the downtown parks.
But he said Parks for Downtown Dallas will spend the coming months working with the city’s Park and Recreation Department to fund design work for the parks. The completed designs, Decherd said, will make it easier for city officials and residents to embrace the proposal.
“If we can develop a consensus that this is indeed the time to build the four priority parks,” Decherd said, “the outcome will be spectacular.”

Limassol Skate Park
Good news everyone, our friend Steve from Airtime Skate Shop informed us that the new Limassol Seafront face lift will include a skatepark. The skatepark will be open to the public when phase one is finished, around spring 2012.
Below is some more info from Airtime Skate Shop website:
“Last year Airtime and some of the Limassol skaters met with the Limassol City Council Civil Engineering Department. We discussed the new skate park that the City wanted to include with the first phase of the Limassol Seafront face lift. Knowing the city needed help with the design we discussed everything from the size, type of concrete to be used, transitions on the ramps, the type of metal best suited for coping and so much more.
Though the city allocated a relatively small area for the park with an even smaller budget we went away and drew up what we thought would be the best Street Skate Park we could. We had several more meetings with the Civil Engineers and Architects and we are happy to say they took our ideas and plans gratefully and are now pouring the cement for the park.
I met with the Lead Architect last week and am very please to say that the city almost doubled it’s budget for the park. We hope that by the spring the first phase will be finished and that the park will be open for the public…. ”

Gravel driveways can create their own kind of laid-back curb appeal. They can also be easier of your budget than concrete or asphalt surfaces. They can certainly seem more doable for a dedicated do-it-yourselfer, but laying a gravel driveway is a labor-intensive endeavor, so plan carefully.
There are plenty of websites that offer step by step instructions. I recommend you read through several sites before beginning in order to get a better understanding of the whole project and not miss any special suggestions that are not found on every site.
Related: Do You Need To Remove Grass Before Laying Gravel?
No one website has everything. Sometimes the details make all the difference. There are also lists of mistakes to avoid that may prove helpful both in the planning and doing stages.
If you’re able to rent and operate large equipment such as a backhoe, the job will go quicker and easier. You will need, at the very least, some way of compacting both the soil and layers of gravel. The cost of renting equipment will be additional to the $2000-$5000 price tag of an average 10-24 foot driveway.
Materials You’ll Need
You’ll need both tools and the actual landscaping materials.
Tools for the job:
- Measuring tape
- Landscaping stakes
- Work gloves
- Heavy garden rake
- Heavy Equipment rental such as a compactor, bulldozer, or tractor. You may consider hiring out the digging part. But you’ll still need a small compactor or roller.
- Border materials
- Landscape fabric
- Three sizes of gravel
Although you can get away with a single layer for a year or two, a durable driveway will generally consist of two to three layers of gravel. Each layer will be 4-6 inches deep for a total of 12-18 inches.
Some professionals recommend laying a layer of heavy landscape fabric between the soil and the first layer of rock. It’s really up to you. The fabric may slow the growth of some weeds, but eventually some soil and seeds will find their way into the mix. Well-compacted soil and rock will deter plant growth for a year or so. And fabric can prevent the bottom layer of rock from gripping the soil, making shifting and erosion easier.
Step 1: Mark and Measure
When you are deciding where you want a gravel driveway, make sure you consider slope and drainage.
If you have a sloping yard, you may want to skip the landscaping fabric, as it will hinder moisture from being absorbed into the underlying soil.
This can create a drainage issue and possible wash away some of your hard work.
Another consideration is the size and type of trees that may be near your driveway. I have seen huge trees fall a couple of years after a new driveway was put in, because too many roots were compromised when digging the bed. Some trees are more susceptible than others, so research before disrupting large surface root systems. Some trees may have to be removed.
Include the width of any border you’ll be using in your measurements. The average driveway is at least 10 feet wide, 12 feet for ease of getting in and our of vehicles.
Measure Length and Width.
You’ll need these measurements to determine how much border material, landscape fabric, and gravel to purchase. You’ll need to add depth to determine how much gravel to order. If you’re not a math whiz, you can get some help with exact amounts from the professionals when you order.
You might want to stagger the delivery of the different types of gravel so that each layer can have a day or two to settle.
Mark Your Driveway.
Place stakes every 6-10 feet and use twine to outline your driveway. This will show you exactly where to dig.
Step 2: Prepare the Bed
Plan ahead of time where you will put or how you will dispose of the soil you dig out. You’ll need to remove 4-6 inches of soil for each layer of gravel. You’ll also want your driveway to be as level as possible. This may mean digging deeper and adding some type of retaining wall to prevent erosion.
Dig out, Compact the soil.
You may want to further delineate the outline of your driveway with a hoe before you begin digging. If the drive is short, you may be able to dig it out by hand with a flat-ended shovel. If not, plan ahead of time to rent or hire a bulldozer for the job.
Make sure the soil base is packed hard. Soft, spongy soil can be disastrous for the future of a gravel driveway. The gravel may settle unevenly, creating holes or washing out gullies.
Add fabric and border.
Once your soil is well and evenly compacted, with any hindering rocks or roots removed, it’s time to lay your landscape fabric. You may want to stake it in place before adding stone.
Although a border is optional, it is recommended to minimize gravel loss and add stability. You may use a number of materials, from treated lumber to border stone.
Step 3: Lay the Gravel
Each layer has it’s own function for the stability and function of the driveway. In this article, we will consider three layers.
Layer 1: The first layer of gravel should be large, #3 size, about the size of a man’s fist. Some companies will actually offload the gravel along the driveway itself. Others will need a place to dump the stone in a big pile. The second way means a lot of manual labor with a wheelbarrow. Enlist as much help as you can. What are friends for, right?
Once the stone has been evenly distributed, use your manual compactor to tamp it down solidly. It would be another huge mistake to skip this part. Some have simply used their truck to run over the rock again and again. Make sure your tires are up to it before choosing this method.
Layer 2: The second layer is #57 size gravel, 2-3 inch stones. Spread evenly over first layer and use your compactor again to solidly tamp down the layer. You may need to go along the edges of each layer and make sure they are filled in evenly.
Layer 3: The third layer is usually #21 gravel, with fairly smooth stones no bigger than a golf ball.
Step 4: Grade the Top Layer
As you compact the top layer, grade it so that it is slightly higher in the center. This will assist with the proper drainage of rainwater. This is also a very important step that will cut down on maintenance and greatly extend the life of your driveway.
Step 5: Clean Up and Maintenance
After your driveway is completed, clean up any rock that may have landed to the side so that you don’t run over it with your mower. Remove the twine and stakes and enjoy your handiwork.
You will want to re-grade your driveway probably about once a year. If you use only one layer of gravel, it may be necessary to add more every 2-3 years. You also have the option of spraying the area with a herbicide to prevent plant growth.


I mentioned in my last Tea Tuesday post that Hana Farms grows many plants that can be made into herbal tea. They’re also working on making a designated tea garden, which is a number of stepped beds located beside the farm’s communal buildings.
Apparently, this area was entirely overgrown just a few weeks before I got here, but E’s sister started clearing the land and uncovered some forgotten stepped beds. The tea garden has become her pet project, and she has been rebuilding the rock walls out of the farm’s plentiful lava rocks, turning the soil, and planting.
So far, there aren’t a lot of plants growing, although there is lemon verbena, mint, and a few actual tea plants.
I’m excited to see how this garden evolves and to try my hand at making my own herbal teas. Hopefully, I’ll have more success than I did with last week’s Moroccan Mint…

Busselton Sugito Friendship Garden
Located next to the Busselton Library, the Busselton Sugito Friendship Garden was first planted in 1998 by a group of five gardeners from Sugito and volunteers from Busselton. Much of the materials and equipment was donated by local people and some special features, such as stone lanterns were sent from Sugito.
The current garden is quite different to the one that was designed and planted as Sugito’s gift to Busselton. Some of the original plants didn’t survive in our climate and some other changes were made along the way but the original intent, of friendship between Sugito and the City of Busselton, remains.
More information on the history of the garden can be found on the interpretive on the wall of the Busselton Library adjacent to the Friendship Garden.

Resin Bound Aggregate Swords Dublin
Resin bound Aggregate Swords Dublin
Driveway Restoration Dublin
We recently were involved in a complete driveway transformation in swords County Dublin. The client wanted a resin bound aggregate finish mainly because they wanted a maintenance free driveway. As you can see from the pictures below the project involved taking away the existing tiled surface and also taking away the flowerbed. We then concreted the area that was underneath the flowerbed and washed the entire area ready for resin bound aggregate.
The area was then left for a month to ensure that the concrete had cured fully and the client picked a Danish Quartz stone with a Dovedale 2 stone for the border of the steps. The transformation was amazing and the client was delighted that they now have a maintenance free resin bound aggregate driveway that looks spectular.
If you have a resin bound project in Dublin or anywhere in Ireland give us a call. We can complete the entire project from start to finish and all our work is guaranteed for 10 years.

HARRISBURG – Rep. Justin Simmons (R-Lehigh/Montgomery/Northampton) announced today that two improvement projects in the 131st Legislative District will benefit from an additional $170,000 in state funding approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) in Harrisburg.
Projects receiving funding through the Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program include:
• The Borough of Coopersburg, which was awarded a $145,000 grant to renovate the Southeast corner of East State Street and Main Street—the town center and a key recreation space downtown. The project consists of a full rebuild of the site, including the installation of new landscaping, pavement and a flagpole. These improvements will make downtown Coopersburg a more natural gathering place for borough residents. The total project cost is $494,615.
• Lower Saucon Township, which was awarded a $25,000 grant for the installation of inclusive playground equipment at Polk Valley Park and Town Hall Park. As a further safety measure, ADA rubber mulch will also be installed. The total project cost is $31,905.
“Both of these municipalities have worked tirelessly for the completion of their recreation improvement projects and I am pleased the CFA saw fit to assist them in their efforts,” said Simmons. “This funding will go a long way in improving these sites and making the 131st District a safer and more enjoyable place to live and play.”
The Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program offers grants for planning, acquisition, development, rehabilitation and repair of greenways, recreational trails, open space, parks and beautification projects. It is supported by the Marcellus Legacy Fund established by Act 13 of 2012.

AGCS Micro Farm History
The AGCS Micro Farm evolved from our Green Initiative, which was launched in 2003 to preserve an element of Chester County's rich rural, agricultural heritage for our region's children.
In the years since the Green Initiative was launched, AGCS students and staff have transformed our 23 acre State Road campus by:
- Creating a diverse wildlife habitat
- Increasing forest cover
- Planting hundreds of native trees
- Enhancing acres of meadows with native plants and grasses
- Building a greenhouse
- Establishing a system of trails that weaves through nine habitat types
We have grown our micro-farm to include large and small animals, such as alpacas, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, and rabbits. We maintain a produce garden outdoors, starting with seedlings in our greenhouse. We also have in our greenhouse hydroponic and aquaponic garden systems that grow produce and raise tilapia. All of these create a robust, unique learning environment for our students.
The Micro Farm has flourished through the generosity of the organizations below, the assistance of private donors, and AGCS families.

Dior has announced plans to help restore Tuileries Garden, one of the largest and oldest public parks in Paris. The French fashion house has teamed up with the Musée du Louvre for the five-year project, which will see the reopening of the wooded area of the park, as well as a number of other restorations.
“This patronage brings home a message that is more vital now than ever,” the house said in a statement to WWD. “Each of us can be an agent of change for the ecosystems of tomorrow, whether natural or cultural.”
This move comes after Dior staged a spring/summer 2020 catwalk show that also celebrated nature by creating a garden, after which 164 trees were replanted across the French capital. It will stage its next show this week inside Tuileries Garden.
Tuileries Garden was created in 1564 and was first known for hosting lavish royal parties, before becoming a public park after the French revolution. Since 1991, it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage List and welcomes up to 14 million visitors a year.

The garden can serve a variety of functions other than just a beautiful through-way to the house. It can be a place to play, party, or to relax. Such activities can be done during either the day or night. For these reasons, you should consider adding some lighting features to your garden.
Lighting creates an impressive backdrop to your soft landscaping and house. The beauty of your yard will be visible to your guests at night. As a tip, you should only illuminate the area which you need to highlight and keeping the other areas in the dark.
Make Informed Choices
There are various factors that you need to consider when deciding how to bring lighting to your garden. You need to start by planning everything out before you buy any lighting equipment.
There are a few tips that you should have in mind when making choices. For starters, fewer lights will probably be better than what you think. The idea should not be to illuminate each square inch of the garden. Figure out only the strategic places to put lights.
You can also consider creative types of lighting to bring in a dramatic effect. Moonlighting is one such example, where a spotlight is placed in a tree to create pools of light. The intensity of the light should also not be too much that it feels like a security light instead of being attractive.
Another great idea is to try to create some contrast in the garden. Using different shades of white light, or different light colours are examples of how you can achieve this contrast.
Design a Safe Lighting Scheme
The lighting in your garden should be as adequate as it can be, but also safe. The effect of illumination may even be ruined if connections and cable are left showing. You need to identify hidden places, where the waterproof boxes and conduits will be fixed to keep them out of sight. You can also opt to use mesh-reinforced tubing for the cables, which will not only hide the wires but also prevent pests from chewing and damaging them. If you choose for lighting that is recessed into the ground, make sure that water drains well around it to avoid a build-up of water around the electrical charge.
Avoid Common Mistakes
Given the fact that lighting usually draws the eye, you need to ensure that you place the right lights in the right places. The brightest light, for example, is what will draw the most attention. You, therefore, need to ensure that it is placed in the most inspiring position in the garden to create the best first and overall impression. You should also avoid placing lights in the general line of sight, such as opposite the deck.
Lighting your garden increases the number of ways that you can use it, including night-time activities. It can even be a place to dine with friends and family during the warm summer seasons. All this makes it imperative to invest in garden lighting.

We did a 9 foot version of the garden bench for a custom jeweler located in the Design District. Since we were working with the buyer, we let him pick the very reclaimed beam that would be showcased in his waiting area. He chose a beautiful beam with a lot of character and requested that we smooth out the rough edges of the beam. The end result was a beautiful, nine foot long garden bench that showcased the raw, reclaimed wood perfectly.

Chris Dacus, a landscape architect, has fashioned a gaggle aiming to develop and keep Loulu palms. The trunks of these palms are extraordinarily thick to assist such a large tree and its continuous progress of heavy coconuts. With that in mind, be careful to not spend an excessive quantity of time underneath one of these palm timber, as ripened coconuts can fall and cause serious injury from such great heights. Imported from Madagascar, the Bismarck palm is a popular sight in tourist areas round Hawaii, particularly on Oahu. This is a slow-growing tree that produces thick, waxy leaves that grow to be about four ft extensive.
This explicit palm grows in a cluster of a number of skinny palm bushes all in one and the trunks give off the appearance of bamboo. The cluster can range anyplace from a handful to a dozen relying on the climate, so count on to see a wide-spreading Areca Palm in Hawaii where the temperature is at all palm oil in cosmetics crossword times tropical. Queen palm bushes are single-trunked, regal palms with polished, shiny pinnate leaves that pucker sweetly in an elegant cowl. Dates in neon orange groupings are put in decorative clusters. In heat climates, queen palm bushes are well-known panorama trees.
Both nationwide parks in Hawaii have fenced off giant areas and eradicated pigs and goats. Over the centuries, a lot of Hawaii has been burned, bulldozed and constructed up with cane and pineapple fields, towns, condominiums, resorts, marinas and golf courses. The lowland dry forest, the place native palms once dominated, has taken the hardest hit; more than 96 % of it’s gone. Today, just about any time a Pritchardia tries to breed, Hawaii’s organic invaders go to work. Pigs rut up the bottom, damaging fragile root techniques and inflicting erosion in steep terrain.
Guadalupe palms develop 15 to forty ft. (4.5 – 12 m) tall and are a slow-growing palm kind. The coconut palm tree is amongst the most easily recognizable forms of palms. Despite the favorable local weather, Hawaii solely has one palm tree species native to the island. The date palms, coconut palms, traveler’s palms, and bottle palms found on the island are overseas to the land. Most of these palms were introduced to the island by early Polynesian settlers whereas different species have been introduced in later. The palm tree can be used for landscaping in some parts of the US, and it’s said to be easier to grow and handle, not like the unique palm tree species.
These weren’t the coconut palms or the dwarf date palms that thrive today – they were imported by Polynesian immigrants sometime between the 4th and seventh centuries CE. They make good focal factors in small gardens and may become a sublime statement palm once they become more tall and mature. Thank you for all the beautiful photographs which actually help to determine every specie of palm tree.


These collaborative works of art were created during the Ohio Chapter of Landscape Architects (OCASLA) Awards Banquet. The event took place at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Creating a piece of art together at an event is a great way to engage a group, it emphasizes conversation and collaboration. The concept behind these paintings are based on Robert Burle Marx work, who was a visionary landscape architect and artist. These pieces were part of a raffle at the end of the night.
"Art helps us see something or someone in a new way."


Three main ecosystems make up the Grande Cariçaie:
the lakeside shallows: continuously covered by a few centimeters to a few meters of water, they foster Potamogeton and Characea algae communities
the unwooded meadows: continuously saturated by the water table and sometimes flooded by the lake, they consist mainly of reed and tall-sedge plant communities
the riparian forests: often saturated by the water table, they consist of mixed forests, pine forests (a very particular plant community in Switzerland), willow forests, alder forests and poplar plantations.
Behind these moist ecosystems, a hillside forest separates the wetlands from the agricultural landscape. This sandstone hill marks the former location of the lake’s shore, before the process known as the "première correction des eaux du Jura" (first Jura lakes correction) took place at the end of the 19th century.

Ways You Can Have A More Natural YardYour home is your world, and much like the world around us, looks are important. You may take your time to care for your house, but what about your yard? If you're ready to improve your landscaping, but don't know where to start, this article will guide you through your project.
When planning a landscaping project for your house, be sure that you put your design on paper first. This will help you visualize your concept and ensure that your project is going to work. This is going to help ensure that you do not waste your time and your money with a misguided plan.
Landscape according to how much time you can commit. While an elaborate landscape might look good on paper, remember that it requires constant upkeep. When designing your garden think about your available time, your physical condition, and your budget. Only take on the responsibilities of a garden that you can easily cope with.
Do not plant too much of the same plant in your garden unless it is one that can withstand all type of weather conditions. If you place the same kind of plants throughout your garden and they die during an off season you will be left with a bare yard.
Consider using just click the next article to water your yard. Rain barrels are easy to add to any yard, and they serve the purpose of collecting rain water. You can then use that rain water to hydrate your lawn, and plants. This is an easy way to save on the cost of watering plants, and it is an environmentally friendly option too.
Try to promote deep root growth with your lawn. You can accomplish this through proper fertilization and watering, thatch control, and keeping an eye on the height of your grass. By having deep root growth, you will not have to water your grass as often, and it is less likely to suffer from drought.
Many people put most of their landscaping efforts into their front yard. A front yard is noticed by more people, and it gives people their first impression of both the home, and the home's owners. A well-designed front yard landscape will not only showcase your home, it can also enhance the physical appearance of your home.

Before beginning a landscaping project, go to a home improvement or gardening store first to ensure you have the right equipment. https://www.realtor.com/advice/home-improvement/home-maintenance-checklist-august/ and other popular big box retailers not only carry everything you need, but also have knowledgeable staff who can provide advice and recommendations to help you on your next project.
You don't always need the most expensive product. Things such as containers, mulch, and regular perennials are things you want to buy cheaper, as the costly versions are the same. Take the time to inspect plants before you buy them. Many discount big box stores may not have workers who provide the optimum care to their plants.
Rather than simply using concrete, you can really enhance a walkway when you use decorative pavers. These pavers can come in a variety of colors, and textures that can really enhance the look of your landscape. Just make sure that whatever you choose, compliments the rest of your landscape well.
Start buying your materials in phases. Few people can afford to buy everything for their projects all at once. By dividing projects into multiple phases, you can pay for what you need as you go. This may save you money, help you keep track of your progress, and let you adjust plans prior to your next phase.
Make sure you do real research on the plants you are considering for your landscaping. Look into what requirements each plant has for optimal growth. Furthermore, be sure to understand the amount of attention each type of plant needs, and match plants to fit your lifestyle. A great place to start this research is your local garden center.
When it's time to pick out your materials, don't use cost as the sole determining factor in your choices. A couple of elements you want to consider are return policies and reputation for good customer service. Weight your options out before purchasing anything. Sometimes, spending a few extra bucks can actually save you money over time.
Did you find anything new that you could add to your home? If yes then good, if not, then maybe you just haven't found something you can add yet. There is always something you can change in your home's landscape. Just remember that, although it's up to you to decide how much you want to change. You can be the judge of that and have as much fun as you can, either way.

What would Ikea design if it were Canadian? I found my answers at the AGO, the exhibition was inspired by a landscape that has been transformed by the country's industry. This became an important point to me, the fact that the foundations of our country were built off of bountiful natural resources. The end result? An experimentation of combining different wood textures as a derivative of landscape. Enjoy!!!
