Great Landscaping ideas from Alabang/Cavite

Rizal Philippines

             This one is from Makati plaza near Magallanes (square shaped topiary)

                       Near Magallanes fly over, great topiary

                          Lump topiary

                        Non functioning waterfalls in LUMP

This author noted some great landscaping pictures from his ride to Cavite.  We hope to emulate some of them.

What can we do as universal landscaping improvement?

1. Construct waterfalls near the SS signage

2.   Install changing led lamps (these are being ordered now)

3.  Create topiary:

     1.  cross

     2.  flame

that symbolize our logo..

                            Bamboo and kaluskos for shrubs

                          Using tsang gubat

                      Kona grove

                      A pyramid topiary

                        Great looking entrance

                  We can benchmark this for HGMP

Negative examples of great landscaping

April 27, 2015

Here are some pictures of what you should not be doing in your park garden so that the project is not abominable. Some of these are in our parks, the others are in a well known, first on the list memorial park.  Discipline in maintenance, and intensive supervision should be the answer to this ugly developments.

                  Uneven placement of markers and grasses

             This office used to  call them Jovills grass (the vertical growing wild grass)

                           We avoid signs like this that are negative

          Patches of wild grass ground cover everywhere in Panga

                         Unswept litter at a MM mem park

                   Uncollected garbage bags constitute litter

                    We should not benchmark this mp

                   Sign of neglect and mismanagement

Here are some of the flowers that this post saw in Iloilo. Same flowers:   mums and cherry blossoms and some artificial flowers at the hotel.

Flowers are important part of memorialization.
