Ripped out irrigation systems along highway, replaced with no-water requirement erosion control planting, with no intention of putting irrigation back after work is done.. Slowly, bit by bit, I am going to rip out all irrigated highway landscapes and replace with no-water..

does a negative action count towards the positive?

Hi Tanya,

“One foot in the past” It’s an interesting and informed comment.
While it may be true that our older generations have one foot in the past, It would not be accurate to assume this of the younger generations in our country. With the peace process in action now for almost 16 years our country has come to a time where younger people…[Read more]

Thank you very much for the link.
I think we also have photos from the installation you have sent form Chelea Flower Show. My boss went to see it last year.
The link of the comany seems very nice. I would appreciate your help if I have any questions about the site.

Thanks and saluti from Istanbul.

I believe that the client has enough sources to support the wall but maybe it is difficult to make them understand why it has to be changed. In the end, they might think that we are using the wrong plants…
Well, it is quite normal when you are dealing with new things…
Thanks for the suggestions.

Grazie per il PDF. E’ molto utile anche per i miei collegi.

Tanti saluti da Istanbul!

Of course. We would appreciate if you could use the name of the company I work for.(Botanic Garden,Istanbul)
Thank you for the suggestions. I will let the client know about covering the wall in snowy day.
Though still; I think it should be ok to change the plants if they go bad.
We will see how it is going to be this summer. 🙂

Thanks a lot once…[Read more]

Hi everybody,
it seems that I take part to this discussion really late, but I might have very interesting technique for the green walls, probably the best at the market this time. This system comes from Sweden, used for example by Chelsea Flower Show by the booth “best of show” Ulf Nordjfell. You can find pics for example http://www.rosenbergwase.s…[Read more]

Would be interesting to see the longevity of this product. Generally, any coating you put down on concrete or asphalt, comes right up in a year or two. Being that this is designed for winter use when plows are involved, I can only imagine the abuse this stuff will take. Either that, or you would have to raise the plows to go over the bridge.…[Read more]

I am a planner. At least for now…

I still love the “If there’s sky, it’s mine” quote. I like Kathryn Gustafson anyway, she’s cool.

No

No. I am working as a planner.

Honestly, I’m not angry or frustrated with anyone. Personally I think the recession is a great excuse to access our most creative thinking and do a lot of long overdue self reflection and reflection about our profession. The only thing I have seen in LA Mag that relates in any way to the conversations that the rest of us are having is the letter…[Read more]

Yes.

Hi, Brett. That project we collaborated on in Sparks dried up fast, as you probably know. I admit to shock hearing how your group was dismantled. For you, and all those struggling now, please know I know this will sound trite, but…I was bankrupt 11 years ago…it will get better. Believe me, it will. Like I did, you may have to take on…[Read more]

No – Feb 19, 2009 was day 1; doing some consulting here and there but nothing full-time.

I am hoping I could get your permission to write a post about your work on my site.. would that be okay with you?

This could give some information about the chemical effects.

I had also read SafeLane protects bridges by preventing salt from leaching into the rebar on a bridge deck. Sweet!

I have let my ASLA membership lapse as of last Fall 2009 and frankly don’t see the need to renew right now.

There have been several discussions over the last 12 months on professional advocacy, ASLA, and CLARB. Many of those discussions have concluded with the notion that ASLA seems interested more in selling magazine subscriptions for a…[Read more]
