Landscape gardening

Landscape gardening has often been likened to the painting of a picture. Your art-work teacher has doubtless told you that a good picture should have a point of chief interest, and the rest of the points simply go to make more beautiful the central idea, or to form a fine setting for it.

Eco-building’s

The marching order to “leave nothing but footprints” enlisted an infantry of green builders this season, before our collective attention turned to security. While our man from the Midland Petroleum Club (aka George Bush) dissed environmental causes and dismissed global warming, — before his attention, too, was turned — a growing number of land-shapers and place-makers began to cast an ecological eye toward planning and construction.
