Dear Friends, the Newport Flower Show Is Pleased to Celebrate Its Dear Friends, The Newport Flower Show is pleased to celebrate its 18th year as America’s premier summer flower show, held on the historic grounds of Rosecliff. This year’s theme, Jade-Eastern Obsessions, will take visitors on an exotic tour of Far Eastern traditions and beauty. Jade, the imperial gemstone (valued as highly as gold and available in a rainbow of colors), is the perfect symbol for the 2013 Newport Flower Show. Exhibits will immerse you into cultures as varied and beautiful as the liquid forms of carved jade. It’s easy to understand why so many elements from these storied lands became Eastern Obsessions ! Joining us will be the inspirational floral designer Hitomi Gilliam who will share her masterful skills of the latest techniques and designs. As always, our Horticultural Division aspires to engage gardeners at all levels with opportunities to share their obsessions. East will meet west when notable American Landscape Architect, Harriet Henderson, shares her expertise and experiences throughout the Far East and explains how Western gardens have been influenced. Our Photography Division will provoke visitors with mysterious and haunting images from amateur photographers around the world. The Children’s Division will transport the youngest gardeners and designers to the exotic East where they too, can revel in Eastern Obsessions. The expansive front lawn of Rosecliff will lure visitors through an iconic Moon Gate into gardens filled with “Zen-full” inspirations. As always, shopping at the Oceanside Boutiques and the Gardener’s Marketplace are a much anticipated Newport tradition. The Opening Night Party will launch the summer season in Newport with a cocktail buffet, live music, a seaside supper and other surprises. Our presenting sponsor, Bartlett Tree Experts has been a long and valued friend of The Newport Flower Show. Not only do they carefully tend the 88 acres of the Preservation Society’s landscapes and gardens, but it is because of their support that all monies raised through The Newport Flower Show are dedicated to the ongoing restora - tion and maintenance of the Preservation Society’s grounds. On behalf of our talented exhibitors, tireless volunteers, wonderful vendors and valued sponsors, we invite you to Newport the weekend of June 21-23, 2013, as we all share our obsession for Jade at the 2013 Newport Flower Show. Patricia Hamilton Fernandez Candace Morgenstern Jocelyn Sherman Co-Chair Co-Chair Co-Chair P.S. There can be nothing more lovely than experiencing our Gardens of the East on the lawns of Rosecliff by moonlight. Optimize your Opening Night Party experience by signing up for the Enchanted Evening Rose package featuring a luxurious supper in a most unique setting. 2013 Newport Flower Show | 1 Presenting Sponsor CONTENTS Awards – Newport Flower Show .

  • A Dimensional Comparison Between Classical Chinese Gardens And
    Yiwen Xu, Jon Bryan Burley, WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on ENVIRONMENT and DEVELOPMENT Patricia Machemer, April Allen A Dimensional Comparison between Classical Chinese Gardens and Modern Chinese Gardens YIWEN XU, JON BRYAN BURLEY, PATRICIA MACHEMER, AND APRIL ALLEN School of Planning, Design and Construction Michigan State University 552 West Circle Drive, 302 B Human Ecology Building, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA [email protected] http:/www.msu.edu/%7Eburleyj/ Abstract: Garden designers and scholars are interested in metrics that define the differences and similarities between traditional design and modern designs. This investigation examines the similarities and differences of classical Chinese gardens and modern Chinese gardens. The comparison is accomplished by ordinating the design elements and basic normative planning and design principles for each garden. Three classical Chinese gardens in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China and five modern gardens in Xiamen, Fujian, China were selected for study. A mathematical method called Principal Component Analysis (PCS) was applied in this research. The objective of this method is to define the dimensions that characterize the gardens and plot these gardens along the dimensions/gradients. Seventy-five variables were selected from a literature review, site visits, and site photos. According to the results of the PCA, there are potentially seven meaningful dimensions suitable for analysis, which explain 100% of the variance. This research focused on studying the first three principal components, explaining 81.54% of the variance. The first two principal components reveal a clear pattern between the two sets of environments. The results indicate that the first principal component can be a way to identify the difference between classical Chinese gardens and modern Chinese gardens.

This investigation examines the similarities and differences of classical Chinese gardens and modern Chinese gardens. The comparison is accomplished by ordinating the design elements and basic principles for each garden. Three classical Chinese gardens in Suzhou, China and five modern gardens in Xiamen, China were selected to study. A mathematical method called Cluster Analysis was applied in this research. Seventy-five variables were selected from literature review and site photos. According to the result of Principal Component Analysis, the eigenvalues represent seven meaningful dimensions can be used for analysis. This research focused on studying the first two principal components for the garden comparison. The results indicate that the first principal component can be a way to identify the difference between classical Chinese gardens and modern Chinese gardens. The second principal component indicates the modern gardens can be grouped into two different categories.

  • To Introduce Students to the Chinese Garden As an Art Form. to Help
    Gardens TO THE TEACHER OBJECTIVES OF THIS UNIT: : To introduce students to the Chinese garden as an art form. To help students understand the literati elite not just in terms of their connections to government service and Confucian learning, but also in relation to notions of elegance. TEACHING STRATEGIES: This material is suitable to a comparative approach. Students can compare not only western gardens to Chinese gardens, but western luxury residences (palaces, country houses, mansions) to the gardens and homes built by Chinese with means and taste. Another good approach to this unit is to link gardens to other key elements of Chinese civilization, such as aesthetic principles also found in landscape painting, ideas associated with Daoism concerning paradises and immortals, and the social life of the literati elite. WHEN TO TEACH: In a chronologically-organized course, Gardens should not be taught before the Ming dynasty, when these sorts of gardens became an important part of the life of the elite, at least in the Jiangnan area. If both Homes and Gardens are used in the class, it would be better to do Homes first as it introduces concepts elaborated on in Gardens. This unit could also be used in a course on Chinese art.

As the only free public garden space in a 90-mile radius of Clear Lake, it provides an oasis of beauty and serenity for all who enter, as well as hosting over 40 annual events, most offered to the community free of charge. IRS 501 © 3 designation was received in 2006. The grounds are maintained almost entirely by a cadre of over 100 volunteers who also plan and host events. Central Gardens is governed by a 15-member board of directors that meets monthly from April through November and conducts business via e-votes during the off season. More information about Central Gardens of North Iowa, Inc., can be found at www.centralgardensnorthiowa.com. This strategic plan contains action steps organized around each of four strategic goals, and is not intended as a business plan. Committee chairs are responsible for overseeing progress towards the actions and the board of directors receives quarterly reports regarding that progress. MISSION STATEMENT: It is the mission of Central Gardens of North Iowa, Inc. to provide a public, intergenerational garden environment that is welcoming, beautiful, calm, edu- cational, recreational, and fun. SIX COMMITMENTS: We are committed to:(1) promoting horticultural and environmental stewardship; (2) building the infrastructure through creating a modern garden while honoring our heritage and original design principles; (3) enhancing learning opportunities for members and guests; (4) being inviting to all; (5) being responsible stewards of our resources; and (6) achieving excellence in all that we do.
