Christine Fox Gardens have been around since the beginning of man. The designs of these gardens, however, have gone through some amazing changes since the beginning of man. In this web site I plan to look at the garden not as simply land to be dug up and planted, but as an empty canvas to be painted. Using elements and principles of design I will show how a gardens can become masterpieces. One will also be able to find demonstrations of good garden designs and poor garden designs. As well as examples of past gardens.
Heather Fritz I did my web site on rock gardening with alpine plants so the name is thus Alpine Rock Gardening.Ê The site is designed for the beginner that may have questions about the basics of rock gardening and about the choices and care of alpine plants.Within the site one can learn how to construct a rock garden, or as an alternative, a trough garden. One can learn about several types of alpine plants and how to care for an alpine rock garden once established.Ê One can also connect to other sites to view numerouse alpine plants and recieve further knowlege of care for a particular plant.Ê The page itself is very general and basic knowlege,however the links are to sights with more advanced information.Ê For this reason i feel that this site would be good for beginners and intermediates alike.

The are activities for various age children to do with the help of an adult in hopes of helping children learn more about gardening. It includes pages on design tips, theme garden ideas, insects, flowers and much more. There is also a brief section on the history of how children gardens were developed. This site was designed by a student and only briefly covers each of these topics.
Darren Hoffman GCinsider (Garden Center insider, NOT Golf Course insider) was created to be a resource for the average consumer. It is meant to provide the shopper an inside look into the Garden Center world. This includes parts of the business that can cause heartache for the information and the plant-seeking public. I discuss some of the factors that make up the Garden Center such as pricing and the secret of "Customer Service". In addition, the site also acts as a reference or self-help guide to what the consumer should be doing before entering by providing tips that can cut down shopping time significantly, without causing too much mental and physical effort.

John Loos This is an informational website for anyone wanting to know more about brick patios, walkways, and driveways. Included is a step-by-step how-to guide for any homeowner or landscape contractor interested in using brick pavers, as well as a tools and materials list, links to suppliers and manufacturers of brick pavers, and images of projects that I have completed. I have also provided a page where you can search the web for more information on this topic. Enjoy your visit and good luck with any projects in the future. Brian Manderick Here you can explore the many different types of water features available to you and how to create and put your own design to work. Whether it's a small, quiet reflecting pool tucked in a far corner of the yard or an elaborate waterscape complete with gurgling fountain, water lilies and fish a well-designed ornamental pond will provide hours of pleasure and most of all relaxation. Water features bring movement, sound, and peace to a garden. They offer habitats for plants, fish and wildlife, but perhaps above all else, they allow us to control and enjoy one of life's most primitive elements. Endless opportunities are offered with water features, just like in gardens themselves. Our imagination is our only limitation when it comes to pondering new ideas. As with anything, it is all too easy to fall into the trap of over complication when designing with water. It has never been easier to use water as a design element in your garden. The old, complicated methods of constructing features from concrete and other cumbersome materials have largely been superseded, and with them, much of the expense and maintenance traditionally associated with water features. So there is really no excuse for doing without water--so get out there and start digging!!

Matt Reppert As for my project, I tried to establish a website that would help individuals dealing with the turfgrass pathogens that I discussed. My project is most likely not as elaborate as you would have liked to see, but I can assure you that I spent countless hours trying to complete it( remember I could barely turn on the computer at the beginning of the quarter). With Bud's and your help, I was able to establish all the right links, and anchors.
Matt Richards This site takes visitors from an introduction of orchids through plant selection, breeding fundamentals, pollination procedures, utilization of the sterile technique, deflasking and orchid culture. Along with introductions and presentations, I've also included a section on general orchid culture that identifies how to care for several common orchid genera.

Jeremy Shadd My website was designed to help beginners and homeowners understand the steps needed to be taken when installing a patio themselves. If they really wanted to follow my website as directions to install a patio they might have trouble because my lack of example photos. (i.e. a picture of me or someone actually doing the work). I have included many pictures of my own in this website, and included many links to another website with a similar goal. They did have many pictures of the process. All directions are the right way to install pavers, and if followed the project will be successful. I provided links to searches, other websites, photos of my own, photos of others, and ideas for projects.
