In the first step, adaptation practices that had already been applied locally and/or had been previously introduced by national development, research and extension organizations were collected and documented by the project. The adaptation practices identified from the project area can be categorized as: a) agronomic management, b) water harvesting c) water resources exploitation, d) water use efficiency, e) crop intensification, f) alternative enterprise, g) alternative energy source etc. From this preliminary list, those adaptation options to be further promoted and/or replicated were selected through a sequence of evaluation processes at different levels starting from upazila-level DMC members, Upazila level Technical Implementation Groups (UTIWG) and National level Technical Implementation Working Groups (NTIWG). First consultative meetings and brief feed back workshops were also organized with the national research institutions (BARI, BRRI, BLRI and BFRI) and developmental organizations.

Much of our national infrastructure for water, waste, transport and energy requires a fundamental rethink. We need to regenerate urban and rural communities, build more homes, strengthen social cohesion and establish food security; but all at a time when capital investment is very limited, the UK economy is fragile, the global market place is increasingly competitive and climate change is a growing concern. There is a false perception that good design is an expensive luxury. Now is precisely the time to focus on utility and function put together beautifully. Any action that changes the appearance and condition of a place must consider its effect on the wider landscape. It is vital to see the bigger picture. This is the role of landscape architecture. Landscape architecture is rooted in an understanding of how the environment works and what makes each place unique. It is a blend of science and art, vision and thought. It is a creative profession skilled in strategic planning, delivery and management. Landscape architects bring knowledge of natural sciences, environmental law and planning policy.

  • Rain Gardens
    Rain Gardens A How-To Guide Introduction Rain gardens are landscape features that capture water runoff from your property and manage it onsite before it can enter our streets and waterways. The purpose of a rain garden is to reduce the amount of water entering our sewer system, which is accomplished by capturing runoff from your roof, yard, or parking lot and allowing it to infiltrate into the ground as would occur under natural conditions. In contrast, impervious surfaces such as pavement allow water to rush off the surface, often flowing untreated into our waterways where it can impact our health and aesthetic and recreational appeal of waterways. Rain gardens utilize “native” plants that have adapted to local conditions over thousands of years. This guide will assist you in the process of planting a rain garden. There are many ways to plant a rain garden, but the steps in this guide are designed to ensure your garden functions properly as a buffer to water runoff. By planting a rain garden you are not only beautifying your property and providing a haven for local wildlife, but you are also doing your part to protect your community from flooding and degraded water quality.

  • 2019 OSMG Garden and Landscape Plan
    !1 “Its style and manners (are) very city-like and no place of the same size contains as many plants and flowers. In every window, yard, and garden you behold them and some of very beautiful and rare order. If a great fancy for flowers argues a corresponding taste for all that’s beautiful and lovely, then the people of Salem are unsurpassed.” The Carolina Watchman 1845 BACKGROUND Long before the landscape restoration program was begun, even before the restoration of the area known as Old Salem, the Garden Club Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County and a number of garden clubs planted and maintained gardens and planted trees in Salem. The most notable of these efforts was the 1963 project to remake the Miksch garden lot into the likeness of the 1761 Bethabara Medicinal Garden as the Emma Ormsby Griffith Memorial Garden. It wasn’t until 1972 when, thanks to the efforts of Flora Ann Bynum (and John Bivens Jr, then director of restoration for Old Salem, Inc.) that the Landscape Restoration committee was formed and a more dramatic restoration of the landscapes and gardens began. The Salt Street Family Gardens were the next gardens to be restored in the mid 1970s at the helm of Peter Hatch, Old Salem’s first staff horticulturist (who went on to restore the gardens and landscape of Monticello). Then, over the years more gardens and landscapes were recreated. Among these: The Anna Catherina lot behind the Vogler, the Volz lot for showcasing field crops, and the Eberhardt Lot across Salt from Miksch.

  • Square Foot Gardening
    Square Foot Gardening Square foot gardening is an intensive gardening technique perfect for small areas. It was introduced by Mel Bartholomew in the early 80’s with his best known book “Square Foot Gardening.” In 2005 he updated his techniques and published a second book “All New Square Foot Gardening.” He also has a web site www.squarefootgardening.com where further information can be found on this small space gardening option. The basic tenets of square foot gardening according to Mel are: 1. Layout. Arrange your garden in squares, not rows. Lay it out in 4′x4′ planting areas. 2. Boxes. Build boxes to hold a new soil mix above ground. 3. Aisles. Space boxes 3′ apart to form walking aisles. 4. Soil. Fill boxes with Mel’s special soil mix: 1/3 blended compost, 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 coarse vermiculite. 5. Grid. Make a permanent square foot grid for the top of each box. A MUST 6. Care. NEVER WALK ON YOUR GROWING SOIL. Tend your garden from the aisles. 7. Select. Plant a different flower, vegetable, or herb crop in each square foot, using 1, 4, 9, or 16 plants per square foot. 8. Plant. Conserve seeds. Plant only a pinch (2 or 3 seeds) per hole. Place transplants in a slight saucer-shaped depression. 9. Harvest. When you finish harvesting a square foot, add compost and replant it with a new and different crop which is called succession planting. For instance … spinach growing in a 1’ X 1’ square will be finished in June freeing up the space to use for a tomato plant.

  • Urban Landscapes Register of Parks and Gardens Selection Guide Summary
    Urban Landscapes Register of Parks and Gardens Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s selection guides help to define which historic buildings and sites are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation. Four guides, of which this is one, deal with the types of site included on Historic England’s Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England which is a constituent part of the National Heritage List for England. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of site included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of how these developed through time, with notice of the main designers and some of the key sites. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests a site has to meet if it is to be included on the Register. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide covers urban designed landscapes, including town walks, squares, municipal parks and seaside gardens. The other three guides treat Rural, and Institutional, landscapes, and Landscapes of Remembrance, that is cemeteries and burial grounds. First published by English Heritage February 2013.
