California Native Plants 14 years, 6 months agoGlenn, and all
True that clients like to see green plants in the summer. Which is why some designers advocate a mix of native (80%) and non-native (20%) plants. The non-natives – which may require some summer water – stay green while the natives go summer brown. -

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 6 months agoOnce upon a time, the reference manual had symbols for plants used in planting plan vignettes. These disappeared in 2006. I suspect this is what you may be referring to.
Susannah,
One vignette solution showed a swale constructed entirely in fill adjacent to a road. There was clearly no need for a swale given the existing topo depicted. They also…[Read more]

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 6 months agoI’ve looked at SOME of the Section E material from Shake-n-Bake.
It was pretty bad. -

California Native Plants 14 years, 6 months agoSince many of our native plants go dormant in the summer as a survival technique to dry summers, I’m saying “advantageous for the summer-dry months” as it relates to the clients who prefer to see green plants and leaves still hanging onto their Buckeyes. Alternatively, Juncus, Western Sword Fern, and Iris, for instance, often receive summer water…[Read more]

California Native Plants 14 years, 6 months agoGlenn Do you really need to irrigate these plants that you mention in summer? They are native to N California, and so in a “natural” context do not get any summer water. Why would you need to irrigate them in a cultured situation?

Living Roofs and Walls 14 years, 6 months agoOur office has done several green roofs and are now working on a project where I want to do both green roofs and green walls. I have a pretty good handle on the roofs, but have been having a tough time getting the green wall people to respond with samples of their products. I have offered to buy the samples but so far they have not responded. I’m…[Read more]

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 7 months agoThanks Charles. The Seattle class had a good group of students. We had a sizable contingent from British Columbia and one person wandered in from Texas! There were many thoughtful questions posed. I enjoyed the experience.

Everybody commenting said it was very much worth while and well worth the time…[Read more]

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 7 months agoIt is unbelievable how delinquent CLARB is in posting scores. It has been over 5 weeks since I have taken my computer based exam Sec D. . .still waiting. I don’t understand how College Board can return results from an SAT exam, taken by millions of high school students across the country in only two weeks!

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 8 months agoYou’ll get the most out of any prep course (especially Section E) if you work on practice vignettes for at least a couple of weeks prior to the class. Otherwise it can be very discouraging for someone who had been out of school for years and doesn’t work on grading plans on the job.
Also, prep classes are usually full, and there’s usually only…[Read more]
