Sounds like a lot of watering and feeding I have not done so, but it is done.

You can’t seriously be posting this comment on a Landscape site, Mr. Wennerstrom… The great Landscape father’s  Central Park design a shock?
Check out Prospect Park in Brooklyn, if Central Park is news to you. Prospect Park  is his true masterpiece, an almost perfect joining of art and nature and culture (use)…..

Thanks Victoria.  That would be great if you could make an introduction as it would be good to talk to a few people who have made the move.  I am looking more towards Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar though.

Ernst,
        Many thanks for your response. I currently have a detailed CV which i have forwarded and lodged with a number of UAE based recruitment companies however to date I have found that they are not very reliable at responding which has led me to lose faith in them.  I am now considering approaching companies directly.  A friend of mine…[Read more]

Be honest, hade ever a presidential election had an impact on anything?
Name the Presidents who were not involved in any type of wars.
Name the Presidents who came not into Office without having promised a lot and later were not in the position to push it through.
The years with the most impact, in consequence also to our profession, is usually…[Read more]

Thanks Rob. I can assure you that there has been a tremendous amount of time that has gone into species selection on this project. The building is approximately 1 acre with over 30 terraces – each having a very different microclimate from the next.

We are not thrilled with the idea of using turf to begin with, however the client has asked we…[Read more]

Dear Michael,
The most important thing is that you take the initiative into your own hands. Have a comprehensive CV ready, ideally for manufactured to suit a few job openings. Make up your mind which your favorite countries would be and where you don’t want to go at all. Read up on internet about the countries and the hardship factors; ask your pa…[Read more]

As a horticulturist, I must urge you to recognize that plant selection is site specific. You must consider what region you are in, what sun/light levels and wind is like at the site, how the turf area will be used, cool season? warm season? blend? Light weight planter mix or actual soil mix?
3″ “soil” will not produce a usable lawn (one short…[Read more]

 Hi. I think your portfolio is quite good especially the renderings are wonderful. However I do not know why you chose the black cover page and page one since, I believe the front page should create strong attention to the eye and give the viewer the desire to see the rest of the contents. I mean some bright colour scheme whether monochrome or…[Read more]

Landscape planner, autocad and photoshop were used for the 2d renderings.

Thanks! I’m already getting some replies from firms. Not being totally ignored as much:)

Madness!  How will they ever pay for their copy of 3D Studio at those wages?!  Are these people who are living in parts of the world where you can live for $5/day?

Aloha LP,
What’s happening in China? Buy a house there yet? Do it. Invest in your future. I’ve been extremely busy in real life landscape architecture / planning work the last 4 months and haven’t been able to contribute as much as I use to. One of these days, I’ll start a discussion regarding Public work projects and its process. I think the…[Read more]

YES! Now that’s more like it. I’m still not sure about the lone man standing against the wall for the Memory Garden project. Photoshop him out. Anyway, it looks really good. Nice balance of work.

Maybe this is the wrong topic but I ran into something I don’t understand (scroll down this one):

So if you do 20 plans you make $100?
