The Complete Book of Topiary Overview

Presenting all the methods of formal plant shaping and introducing simple, fun, and fanciful techniques for creating informal indoor topiaries, Totally Topiary is clear, comprehensive, and written with an irrepressible passion for the art of making plants into living sculpture.

From hedge sculpture and espalier to indoor creations and an entire chapter on ivy, all major topiary styles both new and old are covered. Over 100 specific projects in the eight different styles are offered for a variety of skills and purposes, accompanied by handsome line drawings that serve as step-by-step models and elegant inspiration.

Each chapter is complete unto itself, recommending plants (Japanese yew is the hardiest for outdoor sculpture, but azalea can be coaxed into a startling pink flamingo), sharing design hints (espaliered fruit trees provide privacy from the neighbors with practical elegance), noting ideal times to plant. They also offer specifics on tools and hardware need, plus pruning and maintenance tips. A wealth of fascinating stories and charming anecdotes places each style in historical context, and helpful features list plant sources nationwide, along with topiary showcases worth visiting. 97,000 copies in print.

Longwood Gardens - Know-it-all Shadow Tells Time

Longwood Gardens - Know-it-all Shadow Tells Time Video Clips. Duration : 0.38 Mins.

In the event you need to know what time it is at Longwood Gardens and happen to be near the Topiary Garden on a sunny day, simply step on over to the sundial at the north end of the lawn and let the all-knowing shadow tell you what time it is. Each day a large wrought iron stand is manufully repositioned over precisely engraved marker dots in order to keep in synch with the sun, since the earth is constantly on the move around the sun. Spaced evenly around the perimeter of the sundial are 24 individual hour indicators where the shadow from the stand can be seen as it advances one silly millimeter at a time, all the way around the entire oval just once each day. In this quick clip, Angelina steps on III, but if you look closely you can see that the shadow is not pointing at Angelina. We can therefore reliably ascertain that it is not 3:00am eastern time as she seems to think. Also, at this latitude there is never any sunshine at three in the morning. But then, visiting from So Cal she may have been suffering jet lag and could have been confused about the time. Anyway, the result of all this ingenious engineering with only one moving part (well technically two if we include the shadow) is an impressively accurate time indication all sunny year long. Notice I said sunny? Funny thing is it's really only useful about half the time, or to be more exact, when the sun is bright enough to render a legible shadow. It has been rumored that the gardens are closed to the public after ...

Uprising in Libya : Benghazi in front of the intelligence offices headquarter

Uprising in Libya : Benghazi in front of the intelligence offices headquarter Video Clips. Duration : 1.70 Mins.

There are evenings in Benghazi when the darkness of the dust storms rolling north out of the desert gets to town before the night edging south towards the land from the wintry Mediterranean. Then the grey dust thickens and slowly erases the detail of daytime from view - the advertising hoarding with the poster of Col Gaddafi torn down to reveal another, older poster of him underneath, or the faded elegance of the old Italian buildings around the port. Just before darkness finally comes, some trick of the desert sky gives the sea an eerie phosphorescent glow, as though the light were rising up from within. This is a country where fingernails are routinely ripped off, teeth smashed, lives ruined, hearts broken Radio 4: The Arab revolution It must have looked this way to generations of soldiers who slogged along this narrow coastal highway skirting the vast and forbidding distances of the deserts of North Africa. The wind and the sand have long since rubbed out their tracks of course - the British and Australians along with the Romans and Venetians. Every foreign ruler left a mark and a ghost of Italian culture survives in the way that instant coffee is proudly served with a crispy flourish of foamy milk as a cappuccino. And you know the British were here because they left behind their chunky, clunky three-pin electrical plugs and the practice of topiary - that strange habit of clipping and reshaping bushes in public parks until they look a bit like something else ...
