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]

Thank you

Thank you guys. This is a very supportive group 🙂 glad to be a member

dont overlook dubai. ‘acceptance’ to the profession is better there compared to AD. market may be down a bit, but its still worth checking. commuting from AD is not bad, just around 90 mins. better still, stay there, its cheaper and more metropolitan.

HelloYumilica,
Welcome to UAE…. Few companies worth to be checked , Broadway Malyan as they are looking for a mster planner, Bloom Properties”Real Estate Developer” as they are looking for a Senior Urban Planner, UPC is loking a Senior Associate Urban Planner in Al Ain, ATKINS is looking for a Senior Urban Planner for their regional office in…[Read more]

Thanks David,
I haven’t tried the I-CON nor ADM. I’v been in Abu Dhabi for only a week so I am still researching all opportunities, this was helpful.

Hello,
I have recently moved from United States to Abu Dhabi and am searching for landscape and urban design jobs in UAE. I am particularly interested in urban ecological planning, however, my work experience ranges form small scale garden design to urban master plans. I invite you to see examples of my work and would appreciate any employment…[Read more]

I wouldn’t advise on turning up in UAE and expecting to get a job, there are a lot of people who are out of work. Please send through your CV to me and I’ll keep you informed of vacancies in the region hayley@architectural-elite.com

Hello Agnes Sophia! The best for you is to come to the UAE and look at the spot. Though that there is a lot of available professionals at the market seems that previous UAE or ME experience is critical. Be focused and persistent and certainly you will find something sooner or later. Good luck!

Hello, like few other persons I joined this group beacause I’m interested in working at UAE and maybe here is someone who could help me to find a contact there, give any sugestions where I should look for, or could recommended to me any company etc.
Thanks a lot 🙂

hi ali al-gilani i have sent and email and u didnt reply. i need a job . i am Msc in horticulture and working as landscaper in pakistan and want to move abroad. kindly check my cv

Hi all, since i’ve dabbled into the ME market, i believe it would be a good thing to join the group for all what its worth. Even though some may consider the market is slowing down, from my observation is that there are still plenty of works around. Have a nice day y’all.

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?
