Progress Chic - Fab Feeder


The "tweet" bird feeder from CB2 will surely catch the eye of the local birds and your neighbors.

Stellar landscapes

Science and math are the design inspiration behind a spectacular garden found in southwest Scotland. The Garden of Cosmic Speculation at Portrack House near Dumfries is just one of the amazing landscapes designed by American architect, critic, and theorist Charles Jencks. The DNA Garden (pictured above, Fractal Terrace, and Cascading Universe pond are just a few of the features that await you. But don't put your garden clogs on just yet. The garden is only open once a year so make sure to check in on the Scottish Garden Schemes website for details on annual openings.

Confluence - "Kiku" at New York Botanical Gardens


A new exhibit at the New York Botanical Gardens will showcase the beauty and culture surounding Japanese chrysanthemum horticulture. The displays alone are breathtaking but when combined with the rich Japanese cultural programming that NYBG has integrated into the exhibit that runs from October 19 through November 16, 2008. It is without doubt a tour de force of the art, science, and culture of Japanese chrysanthemum.
