Just about every single one of these can be applied to garden design as well. I am especially prone to fearing empty space. ~AR laughingsquid: Minimalism is Simple

Similar to the works by Corrine Vionett, photographer Pep Ventosa superimposes photograph on top of photograph to create beautiful sketches of a place frozen in time. But unlike Vionett, Ventosa is not capturing landmarks or famous buildings, but rather the nearly anonymous urban tree. Ventosa circles each tree, snapping away as he goes, and then pastes the shots together into ethereal images that look like a cross between a watercolor and a sketch.

Landscape designer, NYBG instructor, and all-around plant lover Susan Cohen (read her fabulous blog here, and follow her on Tumblr here), took a walk down the Ladies’ Border recently, and quite liked what she saw.

Looking at this beautiful slideshow from Garden Design Magazine of outdoor plants that you should try bringing indoors for the winter made us realize that foliage plants are, to many, the final frontier when falling deeply in love with gardening. It’s easy to get hooked on vegetables, and flowers are utterly charming. But plants that are grown simply for the foliage—that’s a bit of a harder sell. Do you love foliage plants? If so, what are your favorites?

"I want to do the right thing for the environment within the realm of our economic circumstances. But at the same time, I want things to be beautiful."

Can you imagine seeing buses with green roofs zipping around New York City? Marco Castro Cosio can, his digital rendering of what he thinks an MTA bus would look like is above. Cosio says that if every one of the MTA’s 4,500 buses had a green roof, it would be equivalent to the City acquiring an additional 35 acres of park land. Imagine what they would look like from the High Line! Dream big New York! via Garden Design.

Artist Bella Meyer holds an abundant arrangement of roses, peonies, and calla lilies. Her work has been influenced by memories of her grandfather, artist Marc Chagall. Earlier in 2010, Meyer opened her new floral shop, Fleurs Bella, in New York City. Garden Design - An Artistic Legacy in Flowers
