The place where trees are grown either for landscaping or for scientific study is known as arboretum
Landscape design is the art of arranging or modifying the features of a yard, an urban area, etc., for aesthetic or practical reasons. For organizational purposes, it is often divided into two major parts: hardscape and softscape.

This document provides a site plan and planting schemes for a project that includes three roundabouts with large Baobab trees and flowering plants. It outlines different options for plantings in the roundabouts and road medians that are drought tolerant and support clear lines of sight. Architectural structures are also proposed to be covered in bougainvillea for the forecourt area.
The document discusses various elements of hard landscaping including man-made features used in landscape design such as walkways, walls, terraces and other structures. It notes that hard landscaping is an important and expensive part of garden design that must be sturdy, functional and visually merge with buildings and soft landscaping. Specific elements covered include gravel, cobbles, paths, driveways, paving styles, pergolas, terraces, fountains, water features, screening, fences and structures to support plants and attract wildlife like bird houses and feeders.
This document provides information on different types of plant materials used for landscaping including trees, shrubs, climbers, annuals, bulbs, cacti, palms, ferns and mosses. It describes the classification and characteristics of trees such as their size, growth rate, leaf type and uses. It also discusses factors to consider when selecting trees for landscaping like habitat, height and texture. The document then covers shrubs and their purposes for landscaping. It lists some common plant species and provides their local and scientific names.
Layering and grafting are vegetative propagation techniques for native plants. Layering involves bending stems to the ground to form roots while still attached to the mother plant, providing advantages like less maintenance than cuttings. Grafting joins parts from two plants so they grow as one, allowing benefits like changing varieties or taking advantage of particular rootstocks. Both techniques can help propagate native species when resources are limited.
This document provides information on different components of ornamental garden designing including lawns, shrubs, trees, climbers, hedges, beds, and adornments. It discusses various grasses suitable for lawns in India and methods of lawn making including seeding and turfing. It also covers shrubbery, trees, climbers, hedges, beds, and other garden elements. Maintenance aspects like irrigation, pruning, repotting, and controlling pests and diseases using organic methods are highlighted.
Presentation created for the Queens Library in 2022 covers eco-roofs including, whiteroof, blueroofs and brownroofs while introducing important concepts around the environmental impacts of each. Then moves on to greenroofs, which are distinct from rooftop terrace gardens. Covers extensive and intensive greenroofs and the various layers necessary to implement a sound greenroof. Also overs plant selection for extensive greenroofs.
The document discusses different elements of landscape design including softscape elements like trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers and creepers as well as hardscape elements like pathways, walls, and sculptures. It also describes different landscape styles such as formal, informal, and different types of historic gardens including Egyptian, Roman, Mughal, Chinese and Japanese gardens. Mughal gardens were influenced by Persian designs and featured axial symmetry, enclosed walled areas, and the use of water features like fountains and canals.
This document identifies and describes the specialized structures of terrestrial and aquatic plants. It discusses how terrestrial plants in different habitats like deserts, mountains, rainforests and grasslands have adapted structures like long roots, needle-like leaves, tall heights and strong roots and stems. It also describes aquatic plants as hydrophytes or macrophytes that can be free-floating and not attached to the bottom, fixed and partially above water, or completely underwater.
Ornamental grasses provide low-maintenance ground cover and visual interest in gardens. They come in varieties suited to different conditions and can be used as borders, ground cover, or in containers. While called "grasses", some like mondo grass are actually from other plant families.
Acorus species are moisture-loving ornamental grasses that form clumps and have variegated leaves, making them suitable for pond edges or submerged in water features. Cordyline varieties like 'Electric Pink' and 'Red Fountain' offer colorful foliage and architectural forms suitable for containers or gardens. Japanese blood grass and golden Japanese forest grass provide ornamental value through their foliage and fall colors. Liri
The document discusses different classifications and elements of landscape design, including plants, pathways, and lighting. It classifies plants according to climatic requirements, growth habit, leaf and stem texture. Common trees used in landscaping like bottle palm, ashoke, neem, and gulmohar trees are described. Pathway design considerations include width, shape, and paving materials. Pathway shapes can be formal or informal and materials include brick, pavers, flagstone, and gravel. Landscape lighting provides safety, security, and ambiance and different lighting techniques like path, step, underwater, up, and down lighting are outlined.
Two species of voles, the California vole and montane vole, are responsible for the majority of damage in California. Voles are small, mouse-like rodents that live in extensive underground burrow systems. Their populations fluctuate cyclically, sometimes reaching outbreak levels of thousands per acre. Voles cause damage by feeding on plants, trees, and shrubs in gardens and landscapes. Effective management of voles involves habitat modification to remove protective ground cover, trapping, and the use of anticoagulant baits.
Landscaping refers to enhancing the natural environment around a home using plants and hardscaping materials. Well-planned landscaping can provide privacy, safety, comfort, and beauty through features like fencing, lighting, shade trees, and seating areas. Soil health and proper drainage are important considerations for supporting plant and lawn growth. Common landscape elements include trees, shrubs, flowers, ground covers, vines, paths, walls, and water features which can be arranged on a house plan using symbols and a legend.
The document discusses various landscaping techniques that can be used to draw attention to and enhance signage. It recommends using a tiered effect with plants of varying sizes, as well as framing signs with plants, trees or shrubs. Circular or oval arrangements are suggested over square/rectangular designs as they create a focal point. Annuals or low-maintenance native plants should be chosen, and lighting must be coordinated with plant growth. The goal is for landscaping to direct pedestrians and drivers to the sign without obstructing visibility.
Dear Students, this is the PPT to get the idea on Parts of Garden. The parts of garden are really very nice to read and know. You can built your garden with your own interest.
Oaks are an important but declining part of woodlands that provide timber, food for wildlife, and diversity. To regenerate oak stands, landowners should 1) assess regeneration potential, 2) control competition, 3) apply a regeneration harvest system like shelterwood or clearcutting, and 4) monitor seedlings after harvest. Natural regeneration is best but planting may be needed where regeneration is limited. Proper management can sustain oak woodlands for future generations.

Beyond the Advance Presentation for By the Book 9John Rodzvilla
In June 2020, L.L. McKinney, a Black author of young adult novels, began the #publishingpaidme hashtag to create a discussion on how the publishing industry treats Black authors: “what they’re paid. What the marketing is. How the books are treated. How one Black book not reaching its parameters casts a shadow on all Black books and all Black authors, and that’s not the same for our white counterparts.” (Grady 2020) McKinney’s call resulted in an online discussion across 65,000 tweets between authors of all races and the creation of a Google spreadsheet that collected information on over 2,000 titles.
While the conversation was originally meant to discuss the ethical value of book publishing, it became an economic assessment by authors of how publishers treated authors of color and women authors without a full analysis of the data collected. This paper would present the data collected from relevant tweets and the Google database to show not only the range of advances among participating authors split out by their race, gender, sexual orientation and the genre of their work, but also the publishers’ treatment of their titles in terms of deal announcements and pre-pub attention in industry publications. The paper is based on a multi-year project of cleaning and evaluating the collected data to assess what it reveals about the habits and strategies of American publishers in acquiring and promoting titles from a diverse group of authors across the literary, non-fiction, children’s, mystery, romance, and SFF genres.

45. TREE PLANTING
What is it?
• The sizes of trees are of the same order of
magnitude as buildings,
roads, bridges and
smaller industrial developments.
• Tree planting can be used for screening,
separating, sheltering, enclosing, accompanying
and complementing these larger structures.
• When tree species grow freely to produce a clear
main stem or bole with their canopies above
head height they leave the space
above the
ground open except for the vertical pillars of their
boles.
46. TREE PLANTING
• Trees can

offer a quite different type of spatial
• Mature heights of trees range from about 5-40
metres
• For design purposes it is good to divide trees into:
Small:
Medium:
Tall:
5-10 metres (mature height)
10-20 metres (mature height)
20 metres (mature height)

Mature Size Small Trees function:
to create, define, divide large spaces
into smaller planting zones
Small trees add vertical elements to

50. MEDIUM TREE PLANTING…
Medium trees can create spaces that
contain smaller buildings and therefore
have a greater effect on the spatial
structure of urban landscape.
Medium and tall tree planting can play a
crucial role In integrating massive
industrial buildings, like power stations,
into the surrounding landscape.
54. TALL TREE PLANTING…
Tall trees are less common in urban areas
because of the space they demand.
Even though naturally tall growing species are
often planted in streets and gardens only to be
cut or pruned once they begin to shade or
dominate nearby buildings.
The size of trees over about 20 metres enables
them to form the part of the primary spatial
structure of streets, squares and parks.
In the rural landscape large trees create a largescale framework.
55. TALL TREE PLANTING…
CAN FORM A BUFFER BETWEEN INCOMPATIBLE ACTIVITIES
Asplenium nidus
(pokok paku langsuir)
Tabebuia pentaphylla
(tecoma tree)
Epipremnum aureum
(devil’s ivy)
This is a vital landscape role because the low-level clutter is often the most
disturbing part of large-scale industry. The ability of trees to screen and
obscure views from further away than shrub planting can be made use of to
manipulate views as the observer moves through the landscape.
56. TALL TREE PLANTING…
CAN SCREEN AND SEPARATE LARGER BUILDINGS
Calyophylum spruceanum
(mulateiro)
Dillenia grandifolia
(simpuh air (daun merah))
Caladium
Davallia denticulata
(Pokok Keladi) (rabbit’s food fern)
Tree belts and plantations enveloping and extending outwards from such
sites provide screening of near distance views.
From greater distances. although they cannot hide structures on the scale of
cooling towers or turbine houses they can visually anchor them to their
supporting landscape and screen the lower level ancillary development,
temporary buildings and car parks.
57. TALL TREE PLANTING…
CAN INTEGRATE THE LARGEST STRUCTURES
Cocos nucifera
(pokok kelapa)
Pritchardia pacifica

Carefully located gaps in planting open up vistas or frame a focus at just the
light moment. Like a window or a mind on what is beyond it.
A single specimen or small group of trees, on the other hand, itself acts as a
focus. Being an isolated object, it occupies a small area in our field of vision
and OUT eye lends to rest on it.
