Like no other feature in the garden, a small pond of water lilies, cattails and Japanese Koi can transform and ordinary outdoor living space into an oasis. Ancient Egyptians and Far Eastern cultures were of the first to develop water gardens in the landscape. It was common to find lotus plants, papyrus, water lilies and other aquatic plants used to accent and focus on man’s relationship with nature. Since that time, Europeans have traditionally incorporated water gardens into the landscape and used Roman and Greek statuary to create formal pools and spectacular fountains such as those found at Tivoli Gardens in Rome and Versailles in France. Still a common practice in European countries, water gardens are finding a place in American gardens today. Fast becoming a favorite hobby for experienced and beginning gardeners, a water garden can be quite sophisticated with a series of waterfalls and pond levels, as interesting as a single 3 to 4 foot pool in the corner of the yard, or as simple as a half wooden barrel filled with floating plants and small water lilies. Installation of a Water Garden The most popular type of water garden installed today uses a synthetic liner to form the sides and bottom. There is very little time involved in installing this type water garden because these materials are lightweight, portable and adaptable to a variety of shapes and sizes. However, for one which will give years of enjoyment you will need to begin by making some careful plans.

    How to Install a Rain Garden at Your Home Name of Location Date What is a Rain Garden? • Shallow landscaped depression that collects and treats stormwater runoff. • Designed to merge two important goals: aesthetics and water quality. • Can be blended into the landscape and made to look natural. • Water is directed into them by pipes, swales, or curb openings. Benefits • Designed to intercept, treat, and infiltrate stormwater at the source before it becomes runoff. • Provides very high pollutant removal efficiencies. • Can be incorporated into the landscapes of many locations, including your home. The Parts of a Rain Garden Your Home The Science Behind Rain Gardens • Absorption to soil particles − Removes dissolved metals and soluble phosphorus • Plant uptake − Removes small amounts of nutrients • Microbial processes NOTE: 90% of all storm events − Removes organics and pathogens produce less than 1 inch of rain.

    WATER GARDEN WG Easy to maintain Water Gardens bring the world of colorful fish and beautiful aquatic plants to your landscape. WHAT IS A WATER GARDEN? Water Gardens are biologically active gardens that contain water and living creatures. Plants thrive on the humidity and feed on the WG nutrients from the fish, birds and insects drawn to the pond, in turn providing them shelter and food. When in balance, bacteria, plants and fish thrive, water stays clear and clean and maintenance is minimal, so achieving balance is critical. Atlantic’s Skimmers, FilterFalls and Treatments complement fish and plant life to provide the tools needed to create a naturally balanced ecosystem. BENEFITS OF WATER GARDENS Water Gardens are living water features, offering not just the sight and sound of water in the landscape, but the enticing charm of the many plants and animals that inhabit them. • Water Gardens offer an attractive and accessible stage for pondowners to observe and enjoy the fish, insects, plants and animals that live and visit there. • The allure of the pond attracts live-in guests like frogs and turtles; dragonflies come to mate; birds to cool off and bathe, while fox, deer, rabbits and many other species come to drink. • Water Gardens provide plants and plant lovers the ideal habitat for favorite blooming aquatics, like fragrant waterlilies, exotic lotus and showy canna lilies. • Splash and evaporation raise humidity and moderate temperature around the pond in summer, while the water warms the surroundings in winter, creating a more temperate environment. THE ATLANTIC WATER GARDEN SYSTEM Atlantic’s Water Garden System offers a complete solution for every pond builder, from full-featured Skimmers that allow for every plumbing and pre-filter preference, to versatile FilterFalls that can be upgraded as ponds mature and organic loads increase.

  • Heart of Uwchlan Pollinator Garden Plant Suggestions – Perennials 2020 Page 1
    Pollinator Garden Plant Suggestions - Perennials Heart of Uwchlan Project Tips for Planting a Pollinator Garden • Assess your location. Is it dry? Often wet? Is soil clay or loamy? How much sun or shade? Select plants appropriate to the conditions: “Right plant in the right place.” • Plant so you have blooms in every season. Don’t forget late summer/autumn bloomers; migrating butterflies need that late season pollen and nectar. • Plant for a variety of flower color and shape. That’s prettier for you, but it also appeals to a variety of pollinators. Some bees and butterflies prefer specific plants. • Plant in groups of at least three . easier for pollinators to find and browse. • Don’t forget the birds. Plant tubular flowers for hummingbirds, bushes with berries for birds (see related Plant List for Shrubs). • Finally, do minimal cleanup in the fall. Leave the leaves, dead stems and flower heads. Beneficial insects like miner bees lay eggs in hollow stems, finches will eat the echinacea seeds. Many butterflies and moths overwinter as pupae in dead leaves. Spring Blooming Golden-ragwort (Packera aurea) – mid to late Spring – Damp location, shade Grows freely and naturalizes into large colonies. Yellow flower heads, blooms for over 3 weeks in mide- to late spring. Dense ground cover. Prefers partial sun, medium shade. Prefers moist, swampy conditions. Cut back bloom stalks after flowering. Golden Alexander (Zizia aurea) – blooms May-June – prefers wet habitats but will tolerate dry Attractive bright yellow flower which occurs from May – June, looks like dill in shape. An excellent addition to a wildflower garden because it provides accessible nectar to many beneficial insects with short mouthparts during the spring and early summer when such flowers are relatively uncommon.

  • The Garden Agriculture of Angkor Wat Project Grant Summary Report Dr
    Beyond Rice Agriculture: The Garden Agriculture of Angkor Wat Project Grant Summary Report Dr. Alison Carter University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Introduction The Beyond Rice Agriculture project has focused on exploring the potential garden spaces within and around the enclosure of the 12th century CE temple of Angkor Wat, a major state temple of the Angkorian Empire. Recent LIDAR aerial survey over the Angkorian region has identified a regular pattern of paths, depressions, and mounds within the temple enclosures, including Angkor Wat (Figure 1). Two archaeological field seasons by the Greater Angkor Project (GAP) have found evidence for occupation on the house mounds within the Angkor Wat enclosure1. The recent June-July 2015 field season focused on intensively excavating a single mound (Figure 1) in order to better understand the timing and nature of occupation within the enclosure. The Beyond Rice Agriculture project built upon this work by investigating areas around the mound, especially a depression to the north of the mound, as potential garden plots associated with these households (Figure 1). Our three-pronged approach included: a) gathering macrobotanical remains from excavation trenches in order to identify plant species found in and around the mound that were likely part of the subsistence regime b) collection of soil samples from excavation contexts on the mound and in the depression for identification of phytoliths and pollens from locations where plants were grown and where parts of plants were intentionally moved for processing, cooking, storage, and disposal 1 M. Stark, D. Evans, R. Chhay, P. Heng, and A. Carter, “Residential Patterning at Angkor Wat,” Antiquity 89 (2015): 1439-1455.
