Happy Spring! And for me, happy end of the semester! Looking forward to catching up with blog posts now that it’s (technically, though dissertation research continues…) “summer vacation.”

 

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

I know it’s hard to believe for many people in the U.S., but spring really is coming. One way to hasten its arrival is to cut a few branches from what will be a flowering shrub or tree. When you bring the branches inside and put them in water, you “fool” them into thinking that spring has arrived, and they bloom. Sometimes the sight of those blossoms is enough to give us hope for the not-too-distant future of warmth and rebirth.

Here’s an older post, “Forcing Spring,” on the subject that has links to some good how-to sites.

It’s been quiet on the TLN Blog front.

But, the book is out! Therapeutic Landscapes: An Evidence-Based Approach to Designing Healing Gardens and Restorative Outdoor Spaces, by Clare Cooper Marcus and Naomi A. Sachs. Here’s a review in ASLA’s The Dirt: “An Evidence-Based Approach to Therapeutic Landscapes.”

We’ve been having lots of great discussions on Linked In, Facebook, and Twitter.

And semester #3 of Naomi’s PhD program is almost over!

Hope everyone is enjoying a festive holiday season.
