Beyond Wild
Author: Raymond Jungles
Publisher: The Monacelli Press, LLC
ISBN: 1580935826
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Monograph on Raymond Jungles, a contemporary landscape architect based in Miami known for innovative but timeless design and a commitment to ethical stewardship of the land. For almost 40 years, Raymond Jungles has generated design solutions that respond to surrounding natural systems while restoring nature's balance and harmony on a micro-scale. His completed gardens personify timelessness and beauty, with verdant spaces that entice participation and soothe the psyche. This monograph, the fourth to focus on his work, will present 21 completed projects, along with a section of work in progress featuring sketches, renderings, and site plans of 12 current projects of varying typologies including an 18-acre Phipps Ocean Park in the Town of Palm Beach, Florida. Among the featured works are major landscapes surrounding luxury residential complexes as well as lush private gardens from the mountains in Mexico to volcanic craters in Panama, Caribbean beachfronts, the Florida Keys, and densely populated cities like Manhattan and Miami. Highlights include the restoration of the famed interior garden by the revered landscape architect Dan Kiley at the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice in New York; a landscape to evoke the work of legendary Brazilian designer Roberto Burle Marx at the New York Botanical Garden, and two new gardens at the the Naples Botanical Garden. Founded in 1985 by Raymond Jungles, the firm’s design priorities are generated by the scale and functionality of a space. Simple, clean, and well-detailed hardscape elements are the quintessential bones of a garden. Planting volumes vary and bold colors and textures are used with intent. The firm is guided by Raymond’s personal and design principles: integrity, relevance, and nature’s honor. Their informed designs tread lightly on the land, provide habitat, and incorporate elements of surprise.

Creating colour and interest in a small urban garden by growing a range of flowers and other decorative plants brings with it many rewards.

My Garden of Flowers
Author: Manjeet Kaur
Publisher: Inspirante Publishing LLC
ISBN: 9781732646209
Category : MEDICAL
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
Dr. Kaur founded the NICU at Lancaster General Hospital in 1984, and recently retired from her position as Chief Emeritus of Neonatology. This book is a celebration of life. As its name suggests, it demystifies the NICU experience, and provides reassurance for parents that these tiny, critically ill infants will typically grow to adulthood and lead normal healthy lives. "My Garden of Flowers" has three main areas of focus: the history of the NICU at Lancaster General Hospital from its founding through to 2017; family stories from 25 families who have had babies in the NICU sharing their experiences; and medical information and practical guidance for families who find themselves in the NICU, to demystify what's happening, and to help them to prepare for caring for their baby through childhood. This book is an invaluable resource for families who suddenly find themselves faced with the crisis of a baby in intensive care, totally unprepared, and not sure what to do. In addition to easy-to understand explanations of the medical jargon, the book provides reassurance for families that they are not alone, and emotional and practical support to prepare them for their role as NICU parents. The book includes a set of appendices with various charts, conversion tables, plus a glossary and an index.--Publisher.
