No, I got all that from your statement” Being in the position to have the potential to waste an employer’s time is a circumstance that I’ll embrace at this time.” Now is not the time to waste time. We are all expected to do more with less. To produce more with fewer co-workers. Now is the time to refine processes and to tune up “the machine” so…[Read more]

You get all that from the fact that I find it easier to slap in a plant schedule using dtext and linework than using a table to display the same thing?

We can agree to disagree.

I’m thinking in terms of a large organization. Many people wasting little bits of time equates to a lot of wasted time. It also equals a lot of people doing the same thing, differently, which again, is ineffective. Did Henry Ford hand one guy a pair of pliers, another a box wrench, the third a crescent wrench and the…[Read more]

I would have spent less time in the studio. Worked full time and taken on less / no student loans.

Especially with their new ‘western panoramas’ – that is a really great installation. Love that neighborhood too.

I hit Wind Cave and Buffalo Gap quite often because I have to go through them to get anywhere here, plus went fossil-hunting (only the legal ones – invertebrates) in Buffalo Gap and saw an amazing diversity of grasses and forbs.

I’ve meant to get out to Pawnee for a while now, just can’t seem to talk myself into making that right, north up I-25 and east across the plains each weekend when the mountains call me. Not to disclose my own secret bat location, but I’m only a few blocks from the Denver Botanic Gardens..no excuse not to get up there more either.

Following the aside….Tall grass prairie hasn’t fared as well as short grass – Wind Cave National Park shortgrass prairie complete with native herbivores, yes a few invasives, but not bad, not bad. Buffalo Gap National Grasslands – shortgrass – great plant diversity, some grazing, mostly antelope. WY and MT aren’t too bad. Nothin’ there to…[Read more]

The Conservation Discovery Center in downtown Kansas City isn’t really a park, per se, but it’s definitely park-like, urban, and incorporates BMPs in an educational way.

Also 10,000 Rain Gardens has some examples of urban rain gardens.

Are you open to garden designers? My degrees were in design and art, not architecture. On the blog I have over 125 articles on design, plants, and some construction (I’m also a licensed contractor). If you are open to that, I’d love it if you included:

Thanks for the networking opportunity. (Figured you needed a 5* rating here.)

yea, thats the part that I need to complete still. Working on trying to get those shadows correct.. Thanks for the compliment on the grasses, I have always struggled with portraying them in renderings.

Good job on the grasses. The structure doesn’t appear to cast a shadow.

Here’s a case study of a plaza at 10th and Hoyt (also in Portland, OR):

So I forgot about this thread, but came across it again and decided to post my prairie results. The first image is the before…just a base sketch up model. The second is after photoshopping. I used that great video link that Declan Rooney provided as a guide in creating my prairie. It turned out pretty good. Could use a little more work but I’m…[Read more]

Here’s my small blog about landscape and design in los angeles. Not able to post as much as I used to (thanks to fortunately finding some work a few months back), but like to share articles and ideas on things happening in LA.

Look forwarding to reading more from everyone else. Great resource!

Here are a few that come quickly to mind:

Tanner Springs Park (Portland)

South Waterfront (Portland)

Epler Hall, Portland State (Portland)
Bioretention and educational component

Citygarden (St. Louis)
Bioswales/ bioretention along cross-streets, permeable pavers in certain locations in the park

Public Square (Nashville)
Park/ Plaza green roof…[Read more]

Like Lynn, I have a template on my tool tablet that is well set up. I don’t use mtext in the plant schedule because dtext is easier to edit without having to highlight for an over-write. My template size and layout has evolved over a very long time, so there is not often a need to change “cell size”, but simple edits are simple edits whether they…[Read more]

As far as the issue with text, I’m not sure. It sound like you are going about it correctly with having the text left justified and adjusting the margin. I would set up one cell the way you want it, even just typing gibberish, then copy and paste that into the other cells. Now each cell is formatted the way you want it and you just need to…[Read more]
