Organic & Sustainable Landscaping in Houston
Autumn in Houston can be just the best. Not too cold and not too hot.
Perfect weather is what I would call it. A certain briskness in the air, suddenly I see more people out walking their dogs and couples holding hands while taking their walks.
Plenty of flowing moss blowing in the breeze, as you see here.
Sunday Inspiration
This Sunday morning I read an article in the New York Times on an amazing and talented artist/architect.
Her name is Maya Lin.
An Asian American women who started out designing and building monuments.
The article left me wanting to find out more about Maya.
Maya developed a passion for both art and architecture and refused to decide to specialize in one or the other and by doing this she defied the rules.
Most people told her it would not work to her benefit and that she was making a grave mistake by not choosing Art /verses/ Architecture.
Now Maya spends equal amounts of time creating both, in fact, she has taken it a step further by implementing an environmentally conscience mind to the equation.
Maya Lin, an amazing woman, environmentalist & Art-chitect!
I hope she inspires you as well.
What a great day in Houston, Texas.
There seems to be hopeful energy in the air and people are happy and excited.
It proved to be a good day in the stock market with a strong rally.
So, all in all it has been a very positive day.
Who will be president??? Hmmmm???
Here is the Templet project after a spruce up for the season.
This property faces East and can handle full sun or partial shade.
The palms are Dwarf Pygmy Dates and will not stay small forever but will look great for a very long time.
We will transplant them later when we are ready for a change.
Decorative Cabbage and Kale are wonderful accents for the cooler weather.
We also added some Sweet Alyssum for some white.
This is newly installed but will fill out the space quickly and will look even better in a couple weeks!
Dark green, gray, dark purple, silvery green and white are the color elements we used here.
A good combination.
Moving right along on this Thursday. We went out on a limb.
It was time to start trimming the trees damaged from Ike.
We noticed lots of men in uniform walking around.
It felt like a military base.
