Does your yard make you smile or do you tend to frown? A lot of people think it’s too costly to have a beautiful garden. But in reality, there are some easy steps that can be utilized to make a significant improvement. The tips in this article can help tremendously.
Do you want to sell your house sometime in the next couple of years? Landscaping before you put your home on the market can increase your asking price. The front lawn should have curb appeal while the backyard should create a welcoming space for outdoor activities.

To add lots of color and texture to your yard on a tight budget, try planting some wildflowers. Wildflower seeds are widely available and can be scattered liberally in large or difficult-to-plant areas. The result will be beautiful flowers of all types and colors!

Learn which landscaping products should be top quality, and which one are the same whether they are generic or name brand. There is not much advantage to buying the most expensive mulch or containers. Cheaper plants are often just as good, although they may be smaller and need more time to reach their full size. Check your plants over carefully. Plants that are sold at a deep discount may not have had the water or care that they require.
Do not overlook the havoc that certain landscaping features can wreak on your home and lawn. Consider the effects that certain plantings might have in areas where underground pipes and cable lines may be co-located. Similarly, plants that grow up to block access views in and out of your property should be avoided. Carefully consider these things when you are creating your landscape plan and any others you can think of.
To make sure that you protect your money, have a whole plan before spending a single dollar. Try making a sketch of what you’re going to be doing in your landscaping project so you know what to buy. By having a materials list you can avoid impulse buying.
The cheapest materials aren’t always the best bang for your buck. When it comes to the quality and reliability of landscaping products, you often get what you pay for. Before making a purchase, carefully consider all of your options. Sometimes, spending a little extra will save money in the end.
You should select plants and shrubs appropriate for your weather. Plants can be very fussy about the weather, and choosing plants that are not viable in your climate will only cause you disappointment. There are a variety of other factors such as rainfall totals, wind, and amount of sunlight that need to be taken into account when deciding on plants for your landscaping.
Soil type is a critical factor when determining the right landscape design for your property. Certain plants may not grown in your soil conditions. If you see that some plants aren’t growing, consider changing soil; you might also consider wood chips or mulch.
When you plan on landscaping, be aware of the amount of water you’ll need, along with the climate where you live. Know the resource demands of your area, as many areas carry water restrictions. Target plants that will thrive on the watering schedule you will have to adhere to.
Do not put off your landscaping project just because you do not have the money to execute the entire plan at once. There is no rule that says you cannot complete your work in stages in order to keep the process affordable and acquire more knowledge as you continue along. You may also find that adding a few specialty plants into your design will create an appealing look.
If you are wanting to put your home up for sale, it is very important to update the landscape in order to add that extra appeal. A lawn that appears healthy and green, a birdbath or landscaping stones, can make your home look more appealing than a colorless landscape and a dead lawn.
Now that you are aware of what to do, you could make these changes today. You’ll enjoy the look of your home’s outdoor areas and the sense of satisfaction you’ll feel from creating your new garden. There is nothing nicer than returning home each night to a beautifully landscaped property. You will soon see that all the work is worthwhile.


New Tree Donation program played a part in receiving the Tree City USA Growth Award for 2021.
Cheltenham Township not only received its 23rd annual designation as a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation, but also received the Growth Award, honoring its commitment to effective urban forest management.
A Growth Award is bestowed to a community alongside their Tree City USA recognition for demonstrating environmental improvement and a higher level of tree care. The Growth Award recognized major milestones and annual activities in five categories on a point based system to build sustainable community forestry programs over the long term such as: building a team, measuring trees and forest, planning the work, performing the work, and building the community framework.
The initiatives that helped Cheltenham to receive this award for 2021 were contracting with consulting Arborist John Hosbach to evaluate the health of Township trees, and the startup of our new Tree Donation Program, which resulted in the planting of 24 trees in its inaugural year to help offset the loss of trees which have had to be removed due to disease, invasive pests, or storm damage.
You, the residents or families of our Cheltenham community, share in this designation with us! You can continue this good work in our Township by donating a tree to be planted this fall. Trees can be planted to commemorate a loved one or event, or just to add a tree back to our environment. Please fill out our Tree Donation Application or email [email protected] with any questions.

For 25 years, The Pawling Community Foundation (PCF) has committed to improving the quality of life for all Pawling residents by developing community resources and public spaces, by furthering the community’s economic vitality, and by supporting the arts, cultural activities, tourism and recreation.
In keeping with this promise, in 2016, the PCF hosted Town Hall meetings and surveyed members of the Pawling community regarding what they wanted from Lakeside and Edward R. Murrow Memorial Parks. Based on that feedback, the PCF implemented its latest initiative, “One Community One Park,” a redevelopment plan to revitalize both parks. With the support of the Pawling Town Board, the PCF authorized nationally-known landscape architectural firm LandDesign, Inc. to design the project, headed by Pawling native Matt Clark as lead designer. The PCF’s goal is to execute the venture by raising private donations and securing grants the same way the organization funded the Pawling Village Green project.
The Lakeside enhancement will feature two new athletic fields, improved nature trails, creation of a bonfire point at the lake, and a centralized open space for community events and recreation programs.
The Murrow Park development will include an off-leash dog park, community gardens, and rehabilitation of the natural amphitheater and band shell.
Future plans consist of paths linking Murrow and Lakeside parks, a nature center at Murrow developed in conjunction with potential partner organizations, and demolition of the Donaldson Building. “The Pawling Community Foundation is always looking for new projects that will enhance the vitality of Pawling,” said Michael Cerny, Chair of the Pawling Community Foundation. “The completion of the Village Green was a tremendous achievement for Pawling and the PCF. The success of that initiative roused the interest of the foundation to look for other outdoor space projects that would showcase the natural beauty of our town. We are confident that ‘One Community One Park’ will ensure that Pawling will have active and beautiful parks for years to come and serve as a legacy for future residents.”
The Pawling Community Foundation (PCF), is a 501 (c) (3) organization.


During the year the Greenkeepers have to carry out ‘Course Maintenance’, which usually means punching holes in the Greens and covering them with sand. Whilst this affects play for the days after, it is essential that this work is carried out to provide good putting surfaces. Over time, the Greens become compacted and dead organic matter builds up under the surface of the Green. Punching holes, usually 12 inches deep into the Greens, inches apart, relieves the compaction and allows air beneath the surface. The holes are then filled with sand to provide thousands of drainage channels that allow water to seep through the Green to the gravel bed below.
Over the last 18 months, the amount of verti draining and sand has been increased dramatically leading to the superb Greens enjoyed this year.

The Groynes recreational park is directly opposite our Holiday park.
The Groynes derives its name from large concrete blocks, made from concrete filled woolsacks, jutting into the Otukaikino Creek. The Otukaikino, once the south branch of the Waimakariri River, was separated from the main branch during the course of major works in the 1930’s.
The Groynes is a great place for families with walking tracks, picnic areas and a dog exercise park. The main walking track is the Waimairi Walkway (5km return), providing a great opportunity for lovers of nature, walkers and athletes to escape the noise of the central city.
Picnic areas and free barbeques make it a popular spot for gatherings of friends and family.
The lakes and waterways provide both recreational activities and habitat for wildlife such as trout and waterfowl. A suspension bridge crosses the river to a lake used by the Christchurch Model Yacht Club. Trout fishing is permitted but you need to obtain a fishing licence from a sports shop or from Fish and Game New Zealand. For safety reasons, a no fishing zone exists in the main picnic area.
There are usually many varieties of duck in residence, such as mallard, paradise, grey teal, brown teal and New Zealand scaup. Other birdlife evident includes kingfishers, quail, pukeko, finches, fantails, and swallows.
Along with the waterbirds, the waterways are also home to trout and other fish.
Within and around the Groynes habitat restoration is ongoing enabling more native wildlife to become resident in the area.
The reserve has examples of common and rare native grasses, shrubs and other wetland plants. New plantings continue to contribute to and maintain the park’s historical features, and enhance the ecology and provide native habitat and ecological interest.


Annes Grove Gardens reopens after €2 million restoration
RDJ advised the Annesley family when Annes Grove House and Gardens was donated to the State. The historic estate in Cork recently reopened following a €2 million restoration.
Thirty acres of historic gardens dating from the 18th century have reopened to the public in Co Cork, following a €2 million restoration programme by the Office of Public Works (OPW). Annes Grove House and Gardens were gifted to the State by the Annesley family. The restoration of the gardens has been described by the OPW as both historically and horticulturally significant. Some of the earliest species of plants imported into Ireland from places like the Himalayas were planted at Annes Grove and continue to flourish there today.
We’re proud to have acted for the Annesley family when Annes Grove House and Gardens was donated to the State. Eoin Tobin from RDJ’s Private Client Group advised on the matter.


How to design an outdoor classroom
Over the summer, we will be moving into our new school building. That means that we will have lots of work to do up-fitting the new space inside and out. For our school, having an outdoor classroom is a critical part of our curriculum.
Joe, from West Depot Architecture, has been working with the students to design the new outdoor classroom. They started with a design charrette to define the project and to brainstorm ideas. First, they took a walk up to the new property so that they could see how the land slopes, which parts are in shade and how big the space is. Next, Joe led the kids in a brainstorming session. The kids talked about things that they liked in current outdoor classroom and some new things that they would like to incorporate. After they came up with a list of ideas, the students split into groups to do some research. Their task was to find and present examples of different components such as fencing, seating, an outdoor “bakery” kitchen and garden beds.
Next week, Joe will lead them in the final stage of design. They will draw a proposed plan for the outdoor classroom. Over the summer, we will be busy making that plan a reality. I can’t wait!

How can ecosystems contribute to quality of life and a more livable, healthier and more resilient urban environment?
Have you ever considered all the different benefits the ecosystem could potentially deliver to you and your surroundings? Unsustainable urbanization has resulted in the loss of biodiversity, the destruction of habitats and has therefore limited the ability of ecosystems to deliver the advantages they could confer.
This course establishes the priorities and highlights the direct values of including principles based on natural processes in urban planning and design. Take a sewage system or a public space for example. By integrating nature-based solutions they can deliver the exact same performance while also being beneficial for the environment, society and economy.
Increased connectivity between existing, modified and new ecosystems and restoring and rehabilitating them within cities through nature-based solutions provides greater resilience and the capacity to adapt more swiftly to cope with the effects of climate change and other global shifts.
This course will teach you about the design, construction, implementation and monitoring of nature-based solutions for urban ecosystems and the ecological coherence of sustainable cities. Constructing smart cities and metropolitan regions with nature-based ecosystems will secure a fair distribution of benefits from the renewed urban ecology.
This course forms a part of the educational programme of the AMS Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions and will present the state-of-the-art theories and methods developed by the Delft University of Technology and Wageningen University & Research, two of the founding universities of the AMS Institute.
Instructors, with advanced expertise in Urban Ecology, Environmental Engineering, Urban Planning and Design, will equip designers and planners with the skills they need for the sustainable management of the built environment. The course will also benefit stakeholders from both private and public sectors who want to explore the multiple benefits of restored ecosystems in cities and metropolitan regions. They will gain the knowledge and skills required to make better informed and integrated decisions on city development and urban regeneration schemes.

Montalbano (The Leonardo Hills)
The hilly Montalbano area is also referred to as ‘The Leonardo Hills’. Altitudes reach 635 metres and the area is 16,000 hectares in size.

The panorama is Mediterranean macquis in both make up and wealth of trees but above all for its location in the mountain foothills and has been much studied. It is in fact very likely that this type of vegetation was able to grow as a result of the humid and temperate climate of these slopes.
The Montalbano area is an environmental resource of great interest and particularly well-suited to walks and trips along footpaths and cycle tracks to locations set deep in the hills, archaeological sites, castles and princely villas.
The Leonardo Hills have all the characteristics of a cultural landscape as a result of the presence of important historical and artistic heritage such as towers and fortifications, villas and farms. The area is the backdrop to much of Leonardo da Vinci’s work. Procedures are under way to make the Montalbano area a UNESCO world heritage site.


The owner of Dermatology Consultants of Wisconsin LLC, Dr. Steven Armus also leads Native Prairie Restoration. Focused on the area around Franksville, Dr. Steven Armus undertakes prairie restoration and horticulture activities that encourage sustainability.
One of the vital parts of the prairie ecosystem is the pond, which acts as a bellwether of the overall health of the surrounding land. This is due to the fact that whatever flows into the pond determines what will grow in and around it. In cases where erosion and stripped verdure is a major issue, the pond can quickly fill in with soil that has a major negative impact on animals living in the water.

When you move into a new house, there are a lot of design choices that need to be made. For the most part, people tend to focus on the interior design and comfort of a home before deciding to tackle the outdoor space they have acquired. However, when the time has finally come to address the garden of your new home, you will be met with further decisions to make.
For starters, you will want to settle on an end goal for your garden before you start working on it and making alterations to the space. If you are interested in using the space for entertaining, for instance, you will need to include a patio complete with plenty of seating in your plans.
If, though, you intend to create a luxurious space that is ideal for relaxing in on those warm spring afternoons, you will want to gear your design choices towards that vision. When it comes to creating a luxurious garden, there are several key points that you will need to consider.
With that in mind, here are a few tips to help you create the most luxurious garden that will be perfect for all of those afternoons of relaxation and enjoying the weather.
Add a Water Feature
Nothing says luxury quite like a cleanly designed water feature in your garden. The right water feature adds a completely new dimension to the space and can even contribute to the overall aesthetic by providing the calming and soothing sound of rushing water.
In choosing your water feature, you will have several options to consider. You might wish to install a pond complete with lovely koi fish swishing about. A fountain can also make for a great focal point for any outdoor space. It can also keep the water fresh and oxygenated during the summer months when the temperature is less than ideal. Websites like LivingWaterAeration.com can give you ideas on adding a fountain to your water feature, or also an option like pond aeration to keep the pond and in turn, the fish, healthy.
The key to keeping your water feature looking luxurious is to make sure that you install it using the right equipment. Murky, cloudy water can quickly alter your space from luxurious to unappealing. Using the right pumps for water features will help you keep your pond or fountain flowing with clean, crisp water.
Bring In Comfortable Seating
When you are looking to create a luxurious garden for yourself, you will want to make sure that you have plenty of comfortable seating on which you and your friends and family can enjoy the space. The seating that you opt for will heavily depend on the amount of space that you have to work with, but finding the right balance with seating will help create a polished and luxurious look.
In addition to the amount of seating, the layout that you go with will be a factor as well. Consider how many people you will want to be able to accommodate as well as what you want the design focal points to be for someone who is sitting in your garden. If you want your water feature to be on full display, then make sure that your seating is facing in that direction.

There’s nothing like enjoying a fire in the outdoors. With the chill of the evening air and the warmth of the fire, the crackle of flame, and the lovely glow that firelight casts, all the senses are enchanted.
You can make your fire pit out of virtually anything that is even slightly flame resistant, like a grocery cart. But for a fire pit that will last the ages, you have to build one like your ancestors made – out of stone.
If you want to add a feature to your home that will be durable and add countless evenings of togetherness and warmth, here are some great ideas for your new stone fire pit.
1. Considerations For Your Stone Fire Pit
If you’re thinking of adding a fire feature to your outdoor area, you need to make some careful assessments beforehand.
You don’t want your fire pit to be too large so that it overwhelms any other architectural details of your garden or outdoor space, but you also don’t want it to be so small that it barely can fit the logs you burn in it.
Location is crucial. You should also ensure that you don’t put your firepit too close to the house or underneath trees. You don’t want scorched paint or stunted branches. The best place for your fire pit is inevitably next to its wood source, so wherever you find the most convenient place to stack your wood is an apt choice for a firepit.
You should consider what types of stone fit your budget best, what size fire pit fits your outdoor space, and what shape it should be. Once you have these necessary details decided on, you’re ready to implement your fantastic stone fire pit ideas.
2. Types Of Stone
There are many words and terms to describe stones that you may not be familiar with, but it’s helpful to know some key phrases before you start building. Here are a few of the words you may hear thrown around in the quarry.
- Ashlar – Rectangular or square cut stone, or a pattern of laying out in a geometric design.
- Chinkers – Smallish rocks and pebbles used to fill in the gaps between the larger stones. It helps insulate your fire pit, so the burning logs get just enough oxygen, but not too much.
- Cut stone – Stone that is milled or cut to a specific shape and size.
- Face – The outward-facing side of the stone or the side that you will see.
- Flagstone – Usually used for walkways and patios, these stones have been milled to a width of 1” to 2”.
- Pavers – These rocks have been milled to the size of bricks, and they’re often used for patios. They can also be handy when building an outdoor fire pit.
- Rough stone – Stone straight from the quarry.
- Rubble – Detritus from construction projects that are often used to fill inside walls or, if you want to insulate your fire pit, between the liner and the outer wall of your fire pit.
Some types of stone are better for fire pits than others. If the rock you choose is too porous, there’s potential that it may explode under high heat; not what you want for your outdoor fire pit.
Do not use rocks that are often found in riverbeds as they are porous. Stones that should not be used in fire pits include sandstone, limestone, river rocks, gravel, or pumice.
The ideal stones to use are rugged and durable, like marble, granite, or slate. You can also use concrete, specially treated lava rocks, glass rocks, or brick on the insides and surrounding chamber of your fire pit.
You don’t want to expose the inner rocks to too much moisture so, if you have stones in your pit, you may also want to include a cover so that the stones don’t get soaked and pose a threat.
3. Fire Pit Shapes
The most common shape for your fire pit is round, as this is roughly the shape of a campfire and, out of all the fire pit building materials, it is also the easiest to build. Stacking bricks or pavers is a simple process that doesn’t take many materials or much effort.
However, no hard-and-fast rules dictate you have to use circular shapes in your stone fire pit ideas. This chamber is like your living room fireplace, a centerpiece for your outdoor area. You want the shape to match the ethos of the rest of your outdoor space.
If you have a sleek modern aesthetic, you could opt for a long rectangular shape for an intriguingly shaped fire. If your outdoor area is more English Garden, then a traditional round shape might fit better. To get a better Idea look into our review to know what most popular outdoor fire pits look like.
4. Where To Put The Fire Pit?
In terms of how deep you’ll have to dig, most recommend 6” to 12” deep. Ensure that the ground is level before you put a liner, lava rocks, or glass rocks in the bottom of your fire pit.
If you go deeper than 1’, you will need to put in some kind of ventilation, so your fire gets the right mix of oxygen it needs. If you don’t think a separate vent is possible, consider raising the fire pit so that the flames are elevated in a bowl-like structure. This also creates a nice visual effect.
Gauge the distance between your fire pit and any other hazards in your yard. You don’t want to damage your house, so plan a pit 15’ away or farther. Plan the fire pit at least 10’ away from flammable structures, overhanging branches, sheds, garages, vehicles, and anything else that would be hazardous in a fire.
Consider your household’s action patterns, as you don’t want to put your new sunken fire pit, for example, on the path down to the pond. Smoke and the direction it generally blows can also be a concern. Lastly, keep your fire pit far away from garden beds or anything else you don’t want scorched.
Outdoor stone fire pits are a compelling combination of warmth and wildness. Enjoying the leaping flames of a stone fire pit under the starry skies is a treat no one forgets readily.
With these excellent stone fire pit ideas, you will be enjoying your outdoor hearth with loved ones for generations to come.

LED Flood Lights can be used similarly to the traditional floods but with extremely lower energy consumption. Usually they can be installed for outdoor purposes and they are waterproof with IP65. The most important advantage compared to the traditional floods, is that they don’t emit so much heat and they stay cooler. LED flood lights can be used in various places such as the garden, yard, and garage or for larger applications outside or inside.

Having a few days away last week , My Husband and I visited The Eden Project in Cornwall. Such a wonderful experience seeing the Biomes with the fantastic planting and upkeep of the tropical foliage and flowers. We really felt that we had been taken off to another Country, in which was so very different to our own.
So many flowers and foliage used in floristry could be seen growing, the ideas and inspiration I found from them was immense.
Walking around the landscaped floral gardens was also very beautiful, I understand that each season the planting changes so that it never stays the same.
So we are given the chance to view and enjoy our Country as it changes throughout the year.


Gardens Transformed was our first client back in 2014, being the website which started off our business. Whilst we've been growing ourselves, so has Dougie's business, and we felt it was only fair to bring his often commented on website right up to date with a complete design overhaul to ensure he can continue to present his stunning garden and landscape design to new clients in the best way possible.
This was a very large undertaking, mainly down to migration of the 100+ garden design projects in the website portfolio into a much better and easier to manage solution - this not only makes it better for us to add new projects as Dougie sends over the details, but also allows for website users to more quickly filter the portfolio into gardens by size or feature type.
The complete website left the client rather speechless, as this time we had full design control and put together our own vision of what the website could look and do, exactly how Dougie (and now Jamie) approach their own clients and projects! It was a pleasure to create, and a pleasure to see Gardens Transformed continuing to grow.


Last but not least, this being my last blog post on our trip to Barcelona, I think that it would be an injustice, if I don’t share about our experience of the most recent, beautiful and breathtaking park in the city: Diagonal Mar Park.
This Park is located near the Diagonal Mar shopping mall, between Diagonal Avenue And Nova Mar Bella beach in Barcelona.
It is only about 20 minutes on the metro to the centre of Barcelona and very close to shopping center and the beach.
Barcelona’s Ecological Park
After indulging ourselves in a shopping spree, we decided to take a stroll heading towards the beach. This led us to the Park Diagonal Mar, where all its pathways lead to the beach.
The Diagonal Mar Park is a park that applies sustainable development. In fact, this can be seen in the use of ground water for watering the plants and the ponds, the use of local species that consume less water and are easily maintained, and last but not least, the intelligent control of the water in the fountains and the lighting.
This park is a perfect place to stroll around and take some sun or to sit on a beautifully designed bench to catch the abundance of sunlight or even watch the sunset.
As a matter of fact, we enjoyed walking through this beautifully designed green park, full of modern art and stylish structures.
There is also a large children’s play area, a raised walkway over water, the lake with sculptures which spray out water and the curved tubular structures. To say the least, it is a breathtaking sight! (more…)

1. Deal With The Planning
The first thing that you should put your mind and energy into is planning. You would want to make sure that you have everything set in place before starting with the project. If there is one thing that you should spend your money on, it is on the planning and everything that comes with it, as this is one of the most important aspects of every project.
You would need a team of architects, designers, and engineers when doing your planning. Commercial landscaping for huge spaces can take a couple of weeks or even months to plan, so make sure to get as many heads that you can to make the brainstorming more manageable.
You have to carefully plan your design so that you can match all four seasons without having to spend too much on the landscaping. A lot of buildilngs and businesses tend to change it every season, but this can be expensive and unnecessary.
If you want to minimize your costs, consider being versatile with your design so that you would not have to spend too much every season. Not only will you be saving money, but you can also save on a lot of time planning and executing different designs.
3. Keep Everything Low-Maitenance
You need to maintain your landscape one way or another. No matter what type of landscaping you have, maintenance should be a part of it. Again, it takes careful planning to make sure that you would not have a hard time maintaining it every season. Have your contractor or designer create a maintenance plan in advance so that you would know how much you will be spending on it. Low maintenance is achievable as long as you plan it right.
4. Keep Sustainability In Mind
Sustainability comes with money-saving benefits. If you want to help the Earth while keeping your costs down, considerdesigning the landscape with sustainability
in mind. For example, you can try using solar power instead of the traditional one. You can use rain barrels to collect and store water so that you can use it during long periods of drought.
There are many ways to go for sustainable landscaping these days. You only have to make sure that you will carefully plan it with your team so that you will be able to implement everything correctly. Landscaping vast spaces doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive. You can lower the costs down with the right plan. May you achieve your dream commercial landscaping.
I hope you enjoyed these 4 Commercial Landscape ideas!

Trenton Park Redevelopment Initiative Update
- Published: Friday, 21 February 2020 10:07
TRENTON PARK REDEVELOPMENT WORK REACHES EARLY MILESTONE
Trenton, NS – The redevelopment of Trenton Park has reached a major milestone, in awarding the design work phase to Glenn Group Landscape Architects and Park Planners.
The successful contract notification took place in February 14, after a public tendering process, through the Town of Trenton in the amount of $216,140.00 plus applicable taxes.
“We’re thrilled to see this incredible project for the community officially underway with the beginning of formal design plans. We know that people are really excited to see the work start in the park, and the design phase is a big milestone for this redevelopment project,” said Mayor Shannon MacInnis. “We will be working closely with our project manager and council as this redevelopment project comes to fruition and look forward to what this will add and bring to our community.”
The project has seen support from all levels of government, with $2.2 million from the federal government, $1.2 million from the province of Nova Scotia, and $254,518 from the Town of Trenton, Town of New Glasgow, Town of Pictou, the County of Pictou, the Town of Stellarton and community.
“We are thrilled to have this company selected and start the formal plans for the project,” said John Charlton, Project Manager overseeing the redevelopment project. “Park users may start to see activity on-site as early as this spring, and we’re working towards final completion of the project in summer of 2021.”
Once complete this universally accessible, high-quality parkland will serve as a signature destination within our community offering residents a wealth of outdoor recreation activities and opportunities. Redevelopment plans include many new additions to the park including a large and exciting playground, seating, signage, shade shelters, refurbished pool, picnic areas, splash pad, fenced dog park, washrooms, trail remediation, and additional, upgraded parking facilities. Once restored and modernized, Trenton Park will provide a safer, accessible, and more welcoming environment to ensure the widest use possible and participation by people of all ages.
The fundraising and redevelopment project was initiated by the Hemlock Group, a volunteer group of engaged citizens looking to create an outdoor recreation space for all of Pictou County and beyond.

Indian sandstone paving is one of the most popular options for outdoor pavings across the world. Beige Sandstone also known as Dholpur Beige Sandstone originates in Rajasthan, India. The stone color is attractive with buff white tones. Beige sandstone is softer variety of sandstone and very popular as paving option in hot weather conditions. Beige sandstone is equally popular in both honed and natural surface finish.
Dholpur beige sandstone is high in porosity and thus cooler than harder varieties of sandstones. However, this sandstone is not very suitable for areas with frost. Beige sandstone is widely used in landscapes for pavings, wall coverings, pool copings, anti-slip areas around pools.
Acme Stones is one of the most experienced and reliable exporter of indian sandstone paving. We are a family owned business with personal attention to quality, packaging and time commitments.

Every year I forget how lush my garden gets once summer is here. It looks so bleak in the winter, and even worse when you cut the perennials back and take out all the dead leaves in the spring. There's so much space in between the plants. The geranium and catnip are barely visible, just tiny, tiny green leaves peaking from underneath last year's cut-back brown stems. The grasses are a sad mess and I always have to resist the urge to go out and buy new plants to fill in the gap.
At first, the daffodils come and fill the gaps. Then the white catnip and geraniums (I have a about seven different kinds and I love the all) show and start to bloom. The grasses get taller and greener again.
And all of a sudden, it's summer. The roses are in full bloom. The oleander come back from the greenhouse where they were all winter. The lavender, gaura, hemerocallis, alchemilla... everything gets huge all of a sudden. There is not an inch of space in any flower beds, they are overflowing.
Every year I remind myself I really don't need any more plants.
What are your garden favorites at this time of year or any other?

COST-OF-LIVING: Find out what advice Radius Housing are providing to help our tenants through this difficult period. Read more
Four Radius Housing schemes awarded Community Green Flag status by Keep NI Beautiful
Four Radius Housing schemes, including Maine Fold in Randalstown, have been recognised for the high standards of their communal garden spaces with the award of the Green Flag by Keep NI Beautiful - the first time a housing association in Northern Ireland have been awarded this status.
The Green Flag Award is the international
benchmark for publicly accessible parks and green spaces in the United Kingdom
and around the world, and is managed by Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful (KNIB)
in Northern Ireland. To be eligible
community green spaces must be accessible to the public and must be maintained
to a high standard as set out by KNIB.
Traditionally the award has been made to parks, community gardens,
woodland and nature reserves.
This is the first time that a housing association has sought Green Flag status, and the four Radius Housing schemes; Tullyvallen Fold in Newtownhamilton, Rathain Fold in Coleraine, Maine Fold in Randalstown, and Tullaghmurray Fold in Portstewart, were awarded their Green Flags at a special ceremony in Brownlow House.
Speaking after the award ceremony Melanie Rintoul from Radius Housing said “Having welcoming, well-kept green spaces around our housing schemes is something that we believe is extremely important. It does not only improve how the area looks, it has an important social role and a positive impact on our wellbeing, as well as raising our environmental standards.
“Often we find that it is groups of tenants who are the driving force behind these projects, and they help create strong and proud local communities. Green Flag status is important as it ensures that the standards, accessibility and general upkeep of the area are extremely high and this should not be limited to the traditional spaces we associate such awards with. We are delighted that four of our housing schemes have been recognised with Green Flags, and we hope that we can raise the standards across all green space and build more welcoming communities with more Green flags in the future.”
Stephanie Burns, Scheme Co-Ordinator at Maine Fold, added “We are delighted to be awarded a Green Flag. This community space is not just for our tenants, but for friends, family and the local community, and this award recognises how well respected and loved the space is.”


Fantastic news that the Bina Parkland redevelopment in WA has been awarded top gong in the 2021 National Landscape Architecture Awards in the Parks and Open Spaces category!
SCG is proud to have been a contributor to this significant project, providing the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) consultancy that contributed to the open and accessible yet safe and secure nature of this community area in Perth’s north.
The award comes hot on the heels of an Award of Excellence in the WA awards for the same project and demonstrates the value of CPTED advice at the planning stages of a new project.
Congratulations to Ecoscape and the many collaborators who facilitated this great outcome for the local community.

Safe. Efficient. Solid.

As an example, you have blossoms or vegetables that have actually remained in the ground for at least a month. When the plants have actually begun to put out new “leading” development (brand-new leaves or buds), you recognize they’ve adjusted to their environment.
Tip: Seed startings and fresh plantings (much less than a month old), will always need even more water up until their root systems have actually started to expand and also become developed. Wait to start a deep watering program up until your plantings begin to reveal brand-new development. Also then you’ll wish to gradually introduce them to this system.

As the top component of the bed dries the roots will naturally look for the water that’s kept below them. This urges a deeper root system which is healthier, and that is much better able to tolerate low tide problems.
When you initially start a deep sprinkling program, you’ll want to keep an eye on younger plants, as well as plants in hot areas of the garden.
If you notice plants beginning to wilt, water them deeply once again. In time you will find that watering two times, and even as soon as a month will certainly be all a well-known plant needs, depending upon particular varieties or selection of plant.
