• Rain gardens : managing water sustainably in the garden and designed landscape

  "The 'rain garden' is a new and exciting concept that combines environmental benefits with aesthetic considerations to bring purpose and individuality to a garden or landscape. In this authoritative work, we see how rain gardens follow the principles of the natural water cycle by using the landscape to slow down the rate at which water is lost to the public drainage system."

Creating an urban wildspace (DVD)

Directed by: Trevor Almeida & Clifford Terry Language:__English / Japanese (subtitle)

As urbanization increasingly encroaches on the natural environment, progressive designers in modern cities are looking at innovative ways to manage urban public space.

This program is intended as an example of how communities and municipalities can effectively change a small part of their urban environment back into a green space and engage the community into the natural process.

These multi functional corridors tie together people and recreation while using natural water treatment technology and encouraging biodiversity. Green spaces crucial to wildlife migration, bring environmental benefits and allow city dwellers to integrate nature into their hectic lives. It demonstrated how the residents of an inner city suburb of Sydney successfully lobbied their council to restore the natural water cycle for a small part of Whites Creek channel. In doing so, they transformed an abandoned, weed infested parcel to land along side a open concrete canal into a living freshwater wetland with several sustainable benefits.
