Many folks take great pride in maintaining a healthy, lush, and manicured lawn. One of the aspects that can be included in these lawns is hedges, which are boundaries that consist of closely growing bushes and shrubs. If hedges are not properly kept up, they can make a house and its lawn look messy, so it is important if you have hedges to maintain them with regular, basic trimming at the very least. This is to ensure their growth and training, keeping them healthy and growing appropriately.…

Apartment unit four’s new garden in the backyard continues to have a sidewalk bisect the lawn horizontally and a fence that defines the end of its property. These elements serve as the datum for the designed landscape. In addition, the rectangular pool and the portion of the sidewalk that branches out to lead up to the porch further divide the site vertically. The pool lies embedded into the ground between the sidewalk and meshed fencing. Its reflective water provides a calming effect, particularly when it shimmers with hues of red, orange, and yellow during…
It was addressed at a convention by Lady Bird Johnson that, “The job really requires thoughtful interrelation of the whole environment… and that, of course, only begins with trees and flowers and landscaping.” Claudia Alta Taylor, mostly known by her nickname Lady Bird, always had wonderful encounters with nature. As a little girl, she was very lonely in her time of play. Because she had no one to associate with, Lady Bird would often go into the forest to smell the aroma of the daffodils and enjoy the sweet sounds of nature. This made her feel at peace (Woo). Many years later, gardening became one of her favorite hobbies to do. She always managed to keep her gardens up to par by planting many flowers, numerous trees, and other crops (Bergeron). These…
First off, there is a very strong need for a community garden, due to the high rate of poverty and lack of community resources; in Northumberland County, Virginia.

The 2011 census states that 10.9% of the population is considered to be living in poverty, and 29.8% of the population receives some kind of public support. The Northumberland Community Garden would help to take some of the burden off of public programs, and help the community to…

Even worse, he expects the student workers who have almost no landscaping experience to know how to do nearly every task that is required to be performed on the job. Landscape maintenance may sound like a pretty simple job, which for the most part it…
Marriage is widely seen as a sacred union between two individuals, who promise to love and cherish one another until death. However, it has also been historically known to dichotomize and assign roles to each partner. In a marriage between a man and a woman, the former is traditionally designated as the leader of the household and the breadwinner. The latter is given the roles of mother and homemaker. In “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston, these gender roles are shown to be the bane of a happy marriage, especially for the wife. Both Gilman and Hurston demonstrate a concordance that gender roles assigned to a husband and wife are inherently misogynistic and damaging for a happy and healthy marriage.…

In the story of “Sowing Change” a garden impacts a neighborhood in a constructive way. The residents of North Lawndale have a great feeling of pride on their beautiful botanical garden. For example, the executive director Leonard expressed that “when you see how it [empty lot] was being used before and how it is being used now, that’s an awesome feeling. It belongs to the community”. The making of the garden has reduced the crime rate in the local area. For instance, the Safer Foundation, which helps men from prison to make the transition to the outside world, has helped ex cons become more passive and learn how to make proper decision and learn how to function in a society. The garden was productive to the neighborhood in the way that it had health benefits. For example, members of the community would have fresh air and exercise in the form of walking while working on the garden. Also, the garden was culturally important because it promotes African heritage, due to the large African American community in the neighborhood. For example, the garden was built in the shape of the African continent and it has a shelter that represents the tribal huts in Africa. The garden is valuable to the…

Apartments don’t have a yard. They don’t have open space; not like our old house did. It was quite the shock to a young outdoorsman…or woman…like me. A few months after moving into the apartment, our new house began to be built. My parents reassured me that our new yard would be big and that we’d still have a hill but when I saw it for the…
