Scholarship opportunity for landscape architecture grad students wanting to conduct research. See more on the Therapeutic Landscapes Database Blog: http://tldb.blogspot.com/ and spread the word – deadline is soon!

You’re welcome, Rico! Let me know how it goes – always looking for more examples of therapeutic landscapes to add to the database (http://www.healinglandscapes.org/sites.html).

It will Naomi, thanks. I’m sure will help. Hoping I could do one in the future for my son who has DS, and maybe for the school he is in right now.

God bless you!

Hello Naomi.

I haven’t really delved deeply in the resources provided by you…but a quick question: any resources on spaces and Down’s Syndrome people?

Thanks.

Well I’ll be honest, I’m very jealous of what you are able to get approved out on the west coast. As of now we seem to be a bit behind the curve but we’re trying to at least catch up with you.

The majority of our office work is around the Washington D.C. metropolitan area (including northern VA and Maryland) and each municipality seems to be at…[Read more]

Well in Australia they use a broader term Water Sensitive Urban Design, as opposed to LID, which refers to 3 areas of water management (Potable Water, Waste Water and Stormwater) and how my effecting one of these you have the potential to effect the others. For instance, by reusing stormwater to irrigate landscape or flush toilets, we also reduce…[Read more]

Philip – that sounds really awesome! I’m looking forward to hearing what was shared, not only from a green streets perspective but would love to hear all about what you are doing in Australia with regards to water design.

Hi everyone. My name is PJ Benenati and I ‘m with EDAW in Alexandria, VA. I look forward to talking with you all and sharing ideas.

Our offices in Australia have been incorporating LID into the landscape for some time now. An environmental firm, called Ecological Engineering, joined with EDAW nearly 4 years ago and is now working mainly out of…[Read more]

NAQI IS MY FRIEND…AND HE REALLY TALENTED IN WATERCOLOR TECHNIQUE…

i luv water color the most.i can do marker too. im more towards hand randered for originality and naturalistic

i love to render my artwork by using marker color…..but i also know to use other medium like watercolor and pencil color..but marker i like he most

i would research xeriscape plants – there are a bunch of native drought tolerant grasses and sedge that could work – Festuca glauca, Muhlenbergia c. …Also some hardy vines like Wisteria or Honeysuckle or Grape – Sedum, Yucca and Agave of course…and you realize this as you mention succulents…Rosemary var., Erigeron, Gaura, Salvia varieties…[Read more]

Dear Naomi, nice to see you here. Thank you for sharing ^_^

thank you

Hello, Hope to exchange knowledge and experience. Regards to All. Ahmad

Hi Bill,

Exactly, LandFx uses hatch patterns instead of trying to place the poly line around the shrubs, and calling out the emitters in the schedule. I think its much cleaner this way.

No it wont warn you of increased precip rates (we still have to use our brains as designers)…..

I am currently finishing up my last year of a B.S Landscape Architecture at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. I am from the Northern Virginia, have worked in all forms of the field from nursery sales, installation, inspection, and design. I aspire to be a master at my skill. I would like to design Sustainable Urban Sites, with creative,…[Read more]

Yeah, it looks like a great time saver. Although anything is faster then the way I do it, so I’m probably no the best person to judge. Are you asking if you should draw in the spaghetti and/or the poly? Too much detail is a waste IMO. The contractor won’t follow it anyway. The hatch patterns look fine. You’ve called out the emitter size for each…[Read more]

Hello folks,

I have uploaded a sample drip plan that I designed using LandFx irrigation. (I’ve been using the software for 5 years now) I’d like to know what you think of the way LandFx handles drip irrigation. The page also explains how LandFx calcs the drip areas (its very cool.)
