Early tomorrow today I head off the Louisville for 3 good days, of learning, networking, and sharing. This is one of the best parts of the job. The chance to hang out with like minded colleagues, and find out what the challenges are in other parts of the country. The chance to sit in on… Continue reading Off to the ANLA Mgmt. Clinic

Another thought on PowerPoint Presentations
I just came across a post by Seth Godin on the problems with PowerPoint presentations, and some suggestions on how to correct them. Last week I was really cracking down hard on a lot of presenters at the CENTS Show in Columbus, there were some bad ones . . . really bad ones. Even sadder,… Continue reading Another thought on PowerPoint Presentations
The Hurricane Tree
This stunning photograph was taken by Swedish Photographer Jocke Berglund he was on a different assignment and came across this scene. This is part of the article from the British Natural History Museum. Flying over Småland photographing the devastation, Jocke – who specializes in aerial photography – saw this ‘remarkable oak tree print’. It formed… Continue reading The Hurricane Tree

Here’s some more good stuff: Don’t forget to place a few flat rocks in the garden to use as stepping stones when you weed; they create a space to… Continue reading I Didn’t know Landscape Design was so easy!
Wednesday talks at the CENTS Show
There were no tracks dedicated to Landscape Design or Land. Architecture-absolutely nothing. So I went to a couple of talks in the “Containers” track. Containers, that’s right. Now this is a good thing to run but to have nothing at all for the entire day on design doesn’t quite make sense . . . especially… Continue reading Wednesday talks at the CENTS Show
Tuesday Talks at the CENTS Show
The Tuesday talks were really uneven they went from the really well done. To completely missing the mark and leave the audience wanting more. The 1st thing I attended was a talk by Dr. Charles Hall on the Economic Worth of the Industry, the information was well presented, well laid out, and Dr. Hall turned… Continue reading Tuesday Talks at the CENTS Show
