  • Zen Bow Article: the Bodhisattvic Garden
    Zen Bow Article: The Bodhisattvic Garden (After the zendo, the Zen Center's back garden is an ideal place for contemplation. It remains a still point in the middle of an inner-city neighborhood, and when I need to begin a letter, or to make some notes on the changing seasons, I find myself drawn to its domain.) Today, having nothing to write down, I leave my notebook open on one of the tables. As the pages flutter in a light breeze, the white paper with its thin blue lines absorbs the chattering of nearby sparrows, the scuttling of a squirrel as it spirals down a tree trunk, the flickering of someone walking briskly behind a fence. High up in the late afternoon sky, the vapor-trail of a plane, reflecting the earth, becomes more elongated and curved as it stretches towards the horizon. The following evening, the neighbor's calico cat presses her nose against the screen door and stares across the kitchen foyer into the twilight of the zendo. Like a person admiring a painting by Vermeer, she studies the receding aisle of shadowy figures who are sitting in perfect stillness on their brown cushions. Then a bell is struck to end the round of meditation, and she disappears down the back steps, her own bell tinkling faintly as she runs across the lawn. * * * The leaves are whispering to each other in a light and steady rain. Summer is now well-established, and the covering of myrtle under the locust tree is a deep shade of green. Beyond the myrtle, a dogwood is in full bloom, its white, four-leafed flowers resembling clusters of child-like stars.

  • 1440 Hawthorne Terrace Berkeley, CA
    ATTACHMENT 4 LPC 02-07-19 Page 1 of 48 1440 Hawthorne Terrace Berkeley, CA January 30,2019 Land Use Planning Received Fatema Crane January 30, 2019 Secretary Landmarks Preservation Commission City of Berkeley 1947 Center Street, 2nd Flr. Berkeley, CA94704 Dear Ms. Crane: V/ith this letter, I wish to respond to the materials submitted by the owners of 1450 Hawthorne Terrace (the Speny Mclaughlin House & Garden) and supplement the landmark application materials that I previously submitted supporting the designation of the Speny-Mclaughlin and Marsh Houses & Gardens as landmarks pursuant to Berkeley Ordinance 4694 N.S. Among other things, I have attached a letter prepared by architectural landscape historian Janet Gracyk, who authored the HALS designation for the 'White House, describing the merits of the landscape that we are seeking to preserve on both Hawthorne Terrace properties. Exhibit A. First, I am gratified that the present o\ilners of 1450 Hawthorne Terrance apparently concede that the Speny-Mclaughlin House and Garden designed by Henry H. Gutterson and landscape architect Mabel Symmes are worthy of preservation and meet the requirements for designation as a landmark pursuant to Berkeley Ordinance 4694 N.S. According to the December 14,2018 memorandum prepared by Stacy Kozakavichl of Page & Turnbull, which the owners submitted to the Landmarks Preservation Commission ("LPC"), Page & Turnbull does not "question the overall conclusion [of the landmark application] that that the subject property is worthy of local landmark status." We could not agree more! The conclusion that this property is worthy of landmark protection is consistent with the conclusion reached by the various experts whom I consulted including Ms, Gracyk, Richard Brandi of Richard Brandi Historic Preservation Consulting, Chris Pattillo for the local chapter of FASLA, and UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design Professors Elizabeth Macdonald and Joe McBride.

  • Purposeful Gardens That Reflect the Passions of Their Owners
    Gardens WellPurposeful Planned gardens that refl ect the passions of their owners. 120 Bloom | June/July 2018 | magbloom.com By Moya Andrews Photography by James Kellar ll gardens are unique, of course, and reflect the individual passions of the people who conceptualize and create them. Behind every spectacular gar- den there is a defining purpose and a resolve to create a particular type of garden. Presented here are three gardens that successfully realize their owners’ ambitions. When Sue Speichert fell in love with a historic home, she and partner Mick Harman took on the challenge of re-creating and expanding the equally historic and romantic garden surround- ing it. Ed Paynter and Sandra Miles are environmentalists who wanted not only an ecologically friendly house, but also an exuberant, sustainable garden to produce food for both body and soul. For Diane Dormant, this, her third gar- den in Bloomington, is the culmination of a lifetime studying the elements of garden design. To access the front door, visitors walk through lush plantings on a path to the stairs on the side of the porch. To the right, the plantings slope down the steep hill and, just past the dark green of the magnolia tree, a distant bit of Hartstrait Road is visible. On the near right of the path there are focal points such the big leaves of a variegated Hosta contrasting with Amsonia ‘hubrectii’ with yellow splashes on its thread-like leaves. magbloom.com | June/July 2018 | Bloom 121 1 A Historic Garden for a Historic House According to legend, Sue Speichert and overgrown pine trees in front of the house Harman converted from its previous use Mick Harman’s house was the Ellettsville, were cut down to allow for better views as a slat house (an open-sided structure Indiana, stop on the stagecoach route that and more light.

It was developed together with a booklet that gives more information about the 'Therapeutic Dementia Care' research and design project (funded by the HIEC- Health, Innovation and Education Cluster) from which they both resulted. In this project we paid particular attention to the needs of people with dementia and distressed behaviour. Hence, the focus is on care environments for nursing, residential and enhanced day support.

It is an advantage to consider the location and position of the building in the early stages of planning or renovating your site, as the indoor-outdoor connection will ODUCTION impact actual use of the garden and therefore therapeutic potential. Beyond the physical requirements, a beneficial connection to nature must be facilitated more broadly by involving staff, families, friends and volunteers in the ongoing use of the space.
