For the first garden I designed (for my brave parents) before I trained professionally, I tried to teach myself design from books. Whilst the books certainly helped to a on. Bear in mind that different design degree, I did find it quite a struggle because schools and tutors may refer to them there wasn’t a clearly defined set of slightly differently. guidelines to follow.

Day 2 Gardens in Florence In the morning meeting with the guide at the hotel and transfer by bus to our first Garden Villa Medici di Castello .The Castello garden commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici in 1535, is one of the most magnificent and symbolic of the Medici Villas The garden, with its grottoes, sculptures and water features is meant to be an homage to the good and fair governing of the Medici from the Arno to the Apennines. The many statues, commissioned from famous artists of the time and the numerous citrus trees in pots adorn this garden beautifully. Then we will visit Villa Medici di Petraia. The gardens of Villa Petraia have changed quite significantly since they were commissioned by Ferdinando de' Medici in 1568. The original terraces have remained but many of the beds have been redesigned through the ages creating a more gentle and colorful style. Behind the villa we find the park which is a perfect example of Mittle European landscape design. Time at leisure for lunch, in the afternoon we will visit Giardino di Boboli If one had time to see only one garden in Florence, this should be it.

  • French & Italian Gardens
    Discover glorious spring peonies French & Italian Gardens PARC MONCEAu – PARIS A pyramid is one of the many architectural set pieces and fragments that lie strewn around the Parc Monceau in Paris. They were designed to bring together the landscape and transform it into an illusory landscape by designer Louis Carmontelle who was a dramatist, illustrator and garden designer. Tombs, broken columns, an obelisk, an antique colonnade and ancient arches were all erected in 1769 for Duc de’Orleans. PARC DE BAGAtelle – PARIS The Parc de Bagatelle is a full scale picturesque landscape complete with lakes, waterfalls, Palladian or Chinese bridges and countless follies. It’s one of Paris’ best loved parks, though it’s most famous for its rose garden, created in 1905 by JCN Forestier. The very first incarnation of Bagatelle in 1777 was the result of a famous bet between Marie-Antoinette and her brother-in-law, the comte d’Artois, whom she challenged to create a garden in just two months. The Count employed 900 workmen day and night to win the wager. The architect Francois-Joseph Belanger rose to the challenge, but once the bet was won, Thomas Blaikie, a young Scotsman, was brought on board to deliver a large English-style landscape. A very successful designer, Blaikie worked in France for most of his life and collaborated on large projects such as the Parc Monceau. JARDIN DU LUXEMBOURG – PARIS Please note this garden is not included in sightseeing but can be visited in free time. The garden was made for the Italian Queen Marie (de Medici), widow of Henry IV of France and regent for her son Louis XIII.

  • Garden Design and Plant Selection
    Garden Design and Plant Selection Now that you have selected your project goals and learned about your site’s light and soil conditions, you can start designing your Stormwater Action Project. A design shows the shape of your conservation garden and the placement of plants, trees, and shrubs. It usually is done on a grid, so that you can plan the garden dimensions and pick the right number of plants. As you draw the plants on the design, you will leave the appropriate amount of space between them. (Different plants need different amounts of growing space.) The design process usually takes a number of draft drawings, as you try out different garden shapes and different plants. Here are some design guidelines that might help: Have fun and trust your creative spirit. A tree or shrubs can act as focal points or as backdrops, depending upon the site. Have a mix of short, medium, and tall plants. Usually, short ones go in the front and tall ones in The centers of perennial plants are usually 12 to back. 18 inches apart.

  • The Living Library Supporting
    THE LIVING LIBRARY (Re)Design Innovative Challenge Team Biophilia MyDzung Chu, Eleanor Dodd, Maria Camila Pedrosa, Jessica Sibirski, and Caitlin Trethewy SUPPORTING DOCUMENT In this document, we expanded upon our design and each of the four key areas proposed by our new garden design: Equity and Access; Sustainability; Health; and Knowledge Generation. Design: As you arrive in the library you’ll pass under a beautiful pergola, providing shade to the main bicycle rack and enticing you to venture beyond into the garden space. You’ll emerge into the garden to the main activity area filled with flexible garden beds, living furniture, and lots of space to sit and meet with friends. The garden entrance is transformed from it’s current state to a glorious natural green walls and pergolas which integrate the bike space into the garden and encourage the bikers to further explore the garden using biophilic design principles of mystery. Emerging into the main space you can see many of the different elements that make this garden special. A historic challenge of the space has been in fixed layout and heavy objects that are difficult to move. The flexible configuration of our design makes the space multipurpose enabling it to adapt to the seasons and to its audiences. It incorporates garden beds on wheels, allowing user to redefine their space regularly to suit the weather, an event, or their mood. A blackboard wall will enable faculty, students, and community groups to bring their teaching into the garden. The blackboard and green wall behind also serves as a visual and auditory barrier to the noisy generator.
