Hey all! Good Saturday morning! Want to read the latest UGJ? Of course you do. It’s here.
- Jeff Hathorn starts his new gig at Beck’s Garden Supplies in Farmington Monday. Congrats! Now we’ll be neighbors.
- It’s all the rage, this idea of suspended gardens. There’s the GardenAerial project in Rochester, and of course Manhattan’s High Line, which I visited for the first time in August. Now “the latest idea for London is a garden bridge crossing the Thames.”
- From the Times: Anne Raver on salvia (and I don’t mean that the way a naughty teenager might). Flattering the Other Flowers.
- Aren’t you glad you don’t have to move trees this way? (Pinned from the Democrat & Chronicle site.)
- More Rochester fun from the D&C. Retrofitting Rochester: Warner Castle.
- I found this article puzzling, because it doesn’t mention GardenWalk as a factor, even though its mean promotor won a national award for garden tourism. Buffalo Niagara hotel room occupancy rates rose in July (from Buffalo Business First).
- Moss is SO COOL. And this article reminded me to pick up “The Signature of All Things” again. Just as soon as I’m done with every Jackson Brodie novel ever written. Guess Who’s Been Waiting In The Lobby For A Hundred Million Years?
- Life tip: Don’t eat random plants you aren’t familiar with. Also, don’t drink antifreeze. Really? Project promoted by BBC spreads poisonous wild flowers across Britain.
- Of two minds on this. Yes, the plants are moving north. At some point in the distant past, they probably moved south. Or maybe not. Maybe they evolved in place, or nearly so, as “…species can migrate upwards for only so long before they hit inhabitable terrain. The upper Himalayas comprise mostly rocks, without soils to support plant growth.” Thoughts welcomed. Himalayan plants seek cooler climes.
- Tee hee hee hee heeeee. Oops. High School Grounds Crew Uses Lawn Mower on Artificial Turf.
