DESIGN LANDSCAPE TO NATURES PATTERN Aim in your landscaping for an end product that design fits well with the environment, pleases the public, and gives you satisfaction, advises Vern J.

Realize also, he advised, that topography, climate, geology, and soil types are intimately interrelated in their processes and effects on the plant and wildlife ecology. Budge explained that every decision in the landscape design 'The reward of process should be made with the realization that nature's design is often the far better design. It's inherent in the pattern of the soil, in the slopes, in the woods, and in the streams and rivers. He said, "There is a landscape character that exists on almost any site. We can extract that. The land itself gives the direction to best utilize it and arrive at a design solution that will be compatible with the environment and not detract from it. "Wedding the design of the natural environment with the function becomes the key to the design solution. It follows the basic premise that each area in any landscape has an intrinsic suitability for a certain land use." a thing well done is to have done it" Ralph Waldo Emerson Barbecuing History rrww ElESfej Early settlers were taught the barbecue cooking method by local Indians.
