The London College of Garden Design has today launched its largest ever schedule of short courses to inspire and train tomorrow’s garden designers.

Director of Garden Design Studies Andrew Wilson said “we have become the leading garden design training centre through offering courses not offered elsewhere and over a number of locations making the courses accessible to both professionals and aspiring garden designers.”

The College’s successful Info Burst seasons continue in 2014 with the launch of a series of evenings with leading garden designers such as Sarah Eberle talking about both realised and unrealised projects. Further courses in this series during 2014 will look at both practical skills and new landscape design across Europe.

At RHS Garden Wisley the College’s collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society continues to grow with a wide-ranging series of half day and full day courses including designing contemporary small gardens, design solution days including planting, kitchen gardens and challenging spaces.

The College will also be offering courses overseas for the first time and in 2014 it is expected that courses will be offered in Scandinavia and Australia. More details will be announced shortly.

Attention to detail will ensure that all materials being brought into the Markey Cancer Center’s healing garden are safe for patients with compromised immune systems. (Photo provided)

 

A former “concrete canyon” at the Markey Cancer Center in Lexington is being transformed into a healing garden.
 

Located on the east side of the Ben F. Roach Cancer Care Facility, the garden will be completed in early December. It was designed by Bill Henkel, president and co-founder of Henkel Denmark and Wendy McAllister, landscape designer, Henkel Denmark. The project was funded by the Lexington Cancer Foundation and will be called the Lexington Cancer Foundation Healing Garden.
 

In December 2012 the University of Kentucky and Henkel Denmark were notified that the Lexington Cancer Foundation was funding 100 percent of the healing garden’s design and installation. Ground was broken on Oct. 7 after 10 months of meticulous detail to ensure that all materials being brought into the garden area are safe for patients with compromised immune systems. Henkel Denmark and UK conducted focus groups with doctors, nurses, staff members and patients, and had many meetings with the university to get approval from the administration, engineers and infectious disease professionals.
 

The garden will be visible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. (Photo provided)

The healing garden is roughly 50 feet by 90 feet, or 4,500 square feet. Low Kentucky limestone sit walls enclose the healing garden, which will be visible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with lighting for safety, as it is in a high-traffic area.
 

No annuals will be allowed to be planted, only annuals in pots, because planting necessitates digging up soil and releasing dust in the air. Henkel Denmark is using artificial mulches (no bark mulch) and sterile soil. Native Kentucky perennials like Solomon’s Seal and Lenten rose are grown offsite and brought in by way of sleeved planters. Because the healing garden’s soil cannot be disturbed, anything with soil has to be wet down before transporting and planting. No fountain will be installed, because water contributes to the possibilities of infectious disease.
 

“Once the garden is planted it will stay where it is,” Henkel said. “We will do the weeding by hand. There won’t be any chemical sprays.”
 

Henkel Denmark is donating five years of care to the garden. Bill Henkel is certified in healing garden design, the only registered landscape architect in Kentucky with that distinction. He earned certification in “health care garden design” in May 2011.
 

“From the massive atrium window at the Roach building, patients line up daily and enjoy watching the garden construction progress,” Henkel said, adding that it is designed for patients to get sunshine and fresh air, and for their families, physicians and staff.
 

Lexington Cancer Foundation has funded a number of patient support and education projects at Markey Cancer Center. Vicky Myers is the chief development officer at UK HealthCare and the College of Medicine. She and Henkel looked around the medical campus to find the perfect spot for the healing garden. While there were several places that needed help, they settled on the site at the Markey Cancer Center.
 

“I think it’s an excellent addition to the kinds of projects we’ve taken on here to improve the environment of patient care,” Myers said. “It is also a place supportive of the staffs who work here.”

Floral designer Sarah von Pollaro

Arlington — Arlington’s Rock Spring Garden Club held its fourth annual Holiday Design Event on Thursday, Nov. 21, attracting a sold-out crowd of more than 200 to watch experts demonstrate how to craft a variety of floral arrangements for Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day.

Sarah von Pollaro, owner of Urban Petals and host of the WETA special “Flower Empowered,” was joined by club member Sheila Moore in demonstrating creative uses of colors and containers at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association conference center in Ballston.

RSGC member Dorinda Burroughs initiated the program several years ago to raise funds for the club’s community-outreach programs. “We have a wonderful evening to start the holidays, plus we raise the money to do things like send children to camp at Arlington’s Outdoor Lab,” she said.

The floral arrangements were auctioned off after the demonstration. In addition, pumpkin flower arrangements, design materials and buckets of greens were sold as participants enjoyed refreshments provided by club members and winners of door prizes and raffles were announced.

Funds raised during the event also are used to support Rock Spring Park, the RSGC’s Garden of the Year program, and educational activities in area schools.
