Jet stream? The pattern of the jet stream?

With a formal education, you’ll learn about jet stream patterns and their effect on which plants grow best in certain regions.

This come from an article about 13 Niches to investigate for your part time business. One of the 13 was Gardening and Landscaping where the above quote comes from. Jet stream?

Great more folks who are in another field getting in this field.

What the heck exactly is Alibaba.com?

Interested in how they are doing landscape work down under in the land of kangaroos, and “Shrimpo on the barbie”?

Well here you go

The Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers is a very interesting and informative website, that is definitely  worth a look.

While you’re there check out the Design Awards page for some nice work and maybe an idea or two! I am reminded of the Woddy Guthrie phrase, I’m going from memory here;

“A good artist borrows his ideas, while a great artist steals his ideas.”

I guess Woody is saying go out and grab something and then make it your own. Anyway . . .

Keep up the good work down there gang. Someday I am going to get down there and actually eat some of those shrimp on that dang barbie, have a cold one or two and take in some of that World famous Australian hospitality.

Here’s a shot from a former winner.

Cranes

We will not be using a crane but we will have some small boulders on hand and work with a skid-steer loader to set them . . .

. . . stone, stone, stone.

Bloody knuckles and all.

My Elevator Speech

My hope is to use this site to spread some info about the art and practice of Landscape Design. It is a very misunderstood profession; I do not cut grass like the next door neighbor's cousin who carries 3 mowers and a blower in the back of his truck. I will also pass along comments on industry happenings, events, etc., and any maybe a few other adventures going on in my world-after all this is "my" blog. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
