TIME TO GET TO WORK Summer is the season when property appearance count. So to help yours make an impression in the bright months ahead, we've committed a portion of this issue to landscaping tips and strategies that will assist in turning heads. In this issue, we've enlisted a handful of landscaping professionals to share their advice. They include Landcare's Kari Tolppanen (“The Four Seasons of Landscaping”), Urban Garden's Allan Kling (“Q&A: Landscaping for Small Spaces”), and Kent Ford Design Group Inc.'s own Kent Ford who offers his insights on outdoor finishing touches. We hope that with their help you can find something in our special landscaping supplement to breathe new life into your outdoor spaces. This is also the season to catch up on indoor maintenance. Read our “Tips for Lighting Maintenance”, which we hope will help you save money and keep your property staff from burning out. Also read with interest WSP Group's “Setting a Standard for Human Wellness”, and Barb Carss's “Conservation Obligations Weigh on LDCs” for two refreshing looks at sustainable property development. Now that we've warmed up from winter and dusted off from spring, it's time to take advantage of the summer. We hope we can do our part in the pages ahead, and are always open to feedback and article suggestions for future issues. If you have an idea, or something to share, please feel free to contact me at matthewb@mediaedge.ca. MATTHEW BRADFORD matthewb@mediaedge.ca
