Union Station cleanup beginsDavidson, a California craftsman, is in town for a couple of weeks visiting family. While he�s here, he decided it was time to start tackling the tall grass, weeds and trees that mask the still-beautiful shell of Lockport�s old passenger rail depot.�We�re going to get it cleaned up and looking nice,� Davidson said.�And spur some interest in the community,� Muscarella added.Davidson purchased the station from former owner Brian Yaiser and the Union Station Development Corporation this past April. The response to the idea that we can restore this place is amazing,� he said. �People who drive by are stopping to tell me they�re excited. The neighbors here � Groff�s and the new (lube) shop at the corner � have been very supportive.�On Day 1 of renovation, Davidson-Muscarella family and friends got the high lawn that faces Washburn Street mowed and made a fair dent in the wall of weeds lining the chain link fence around the station. read more.

The next part of the project will be the restoration of the estate’s original 18th-century farmhouse, but in the meantime it is the land that occupies Linley’s French leave. Most of his Provençal domain is wooded, the occasional tree bearing the traditional metal chasse gardée (no hunting) signs, but Linley allows the locals to shoot as the previous owners did, as a “good neighbour policy”. It pays to follow local custom, he has found, making a judicious switch to a sandy boules pitch after the English croquet lawn was “snuffled up by wild boar”. The fauna are not the only problem. “Being a countryman in France is an entirely different prospect to being a countryman in England. One becomes obsessed by rain down here. One of our fields is called Three Wells, but there’s about enough water to wash a baby, and that’s it.” The water shortage this summer — the third season of drought in a row — is of particular concern to Linley. For having learnt, after the croquet episode, “not to be too bloody clever, and to grow things in harmony with the landscape”, he joined forces with the local mayor, Alain Cassan, who, with his son Benoît, is helping Linley get his land into ultimate harmony with the landscape. Lavender fields — a purple summer blur when viewed from one angle, shifting to neatly domed rows abuzz with bees when you change your point of view — have been an essential part of the Provençal scene since well before the Impressionists and Van Gogh committed the sight to canvas. read more.

Give your outdoors some personality with ornamentsGarden ornaments developed as cultures had more time and money for leisure. "I also think there's a problem with the term," says Schumacher, who launched her business two decades ago. " 'Garden ornament' sounds like 'lawn ornament' to many people." As in pink plastic flamingos and garden gnomes. Instead, we're talking about trellises, arbors, strategically placed furniture, even small buildings. "Ornaments can be structural and functional as well as pretty," Schumacher says. It's the element of surprise and whimsy that garden ornaments can provide that makes them essential to the design of her garden, Krombolz says. "I love stone and steel and things that are long-lasting," she says. "And I love color." Krombolz's lush garden includes salvaged wrought-iron window grates, an old grinding stone and unusual cedar Adirondack chairs made by a craftsman in Virginia. Those chairs recently got a coat of vivid blue paint; so did an array of cement spheres she has arranged in a shade garden. Keep 'em moving "Those balls were in the middle of the lawn last year," she says. "I move things around all the time." You don't need to be an artist to work ornaments into your garden effectively, says Schumacher. "Go into your house and look out the window," she says. "Or sit on your patio and see what you see. After you've framed a view, you want to think about creating a focal point." That could be a statue, a bench, a sundial or an arbor. A tiny urban garden might have only one focal point. A suburban spread could have many. Just keep the ornaments spread out and relatively sparing. "If you have too many things, it's not restful," Schumacher says. read more.
