I have been using more Baccharis pilularis ‘Pigeon Point’ up here in the East Bay of S.F. It seems to be an easy evergreen plant. So far, so good.

Has anyone had any problems with it after it has established?

Also what is your favorite Ceanothus and why?

Hi all.  I’m working on a planting plan for a steep slope in an area that has plenty of DG (East San Diego) and need to add a burgundy color to the palette.  All of the other plants are xeric.  I’m hoping to find something that someone doesn’t need to prune (due to the steepness) but that will add color even if it’s deciduous. I’m using Ma…[Read more]

@Yalçın: Yes its ok, i will be glad to have your results here!
@Ieva: Hi!! Nice to see you here too. I liked the art activities in the monsters of the landscape, it shows what can give a soul to the degraded places. Personally, i find all the pictures impressive that Mr Latz presented.

It is great that that kind of areas can have the second life.. after it has been used for other purposes.. That kind of areas seems so attractive for me personally. At the moment I’m working on my Master thesis – it is about transformation…[Read more]

yess we should decide.:)also does your visor study area ok with u?..also ı will search the project and share with this wall..:)

well i understand, we should search about the other examples too! i did not decide to the subject yet…

Yeah Işın,I know his study area-it s most of open mining areas-but ı really wanna to know this type of huge and transformation places,by the other hand ı havent any idea yet about thesis:s,ım just researching recently..and what about u??..

ı also, I think the future will be a lot of precedent for the field this project

i agree Yalçın, it was a good presentation! You know Erden from Ege uni., he is re-searching about industrial places as i heared from Mr Güney. You can also ask him.
What about your thesis issue? Did you already find a topic-why dont you write about industrial areas?

Glenn, 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.

Since 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]

Glenn 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?
