Hello all.. Any plant buffs out there have experience with Panicum virgatum ‘heavy metal’ or ‘Northwind’ in the SF bay area?  Based on the zone specs it should be fine but my broker hasn’t sold too many of them and couldn’t comment on how they perform in the area… any help would be appreciated.

We are seeking resumes for a 5-6 year experience Landscape Architect/ designer for our busy Buffalo, NY office. Info found at http://www.JKLAstudio.com

Hi All!
I’d like to offer you an irrigation tube, which is to be digged under the plant/grass into soil (20 cm). Tube will ‘sweaten’ the water through porous surface and feed water to root system. Absolutely easy and water saving!!

Thanks Stephanie, I see what you mean. Thanks so much!

Hello Tamera,
Well, As a LEED AP, I can tell you that LEED doesn’t deal with the spaces BETWEEN the buildings on a level that is watershed centric, site planning, soils responsive. LEED does not give points for passive solutions, but favors mechanical solutions. In so many ways, LEED is very narrow, and SSI is very broad. Those are just a few…[Read more]

I was wondering what sites residential designers use to find certain products or materials. Let’s say you want to find certain types of outdoor porcelain tiles, sculptures, water features, etc. Are there sites out there that are relevant for us to use? And if so, would anyone like to share these?
