A tale of two gardens

Article Abstract:

A gardener unites two different Japanese-style gardens to create a distinctive style that incorporates Zen aesthetics, Japanese design, and the artist's imagination. Subtle foliage color, mosses, stones and bridges emphasize a Zen garden's disciplined and austere sensibilities. Flowering plants and variety of terrain are elements that appear in Japanese gardens that are intended to mimic nature.

Green roofs

Article Abstract:

Green roofs offer numerous benefits in urban areas, ranging from temperature mitigation to reduction of storm water runoff and air pollution, noise abatement, the creation of wildlife habitat, and beautification. Despite the entire benefits green roofs offer, they are not more widespread because most American cities are not prepared for green roof technology.
