INDUSTRY NOTES:

Visitors to the High Line walk past the greenery on a hot summer day in New York. The High Line, the New York City park and garden which runs along a strip of old elevated track, “does symbolize a newer aesthetic in purposeful, naturalized gardening,’’ said Tom Smarr, its director of horticulture. About half the plants are natives and the other half are self-seeded species, which require relatively little maintenance and water. “There’s way more forgiveness and durability about it,” he said.

GARDENING’S NEW ETHOS:

Help the planet (and look good too) Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Rocky Mountain Realtors red carpet event recognizes outstanding agents NEWSWIRE

A red carpet awards celebration dinner for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, (BHHS) Rocky Mountain Realtors outstanding accomplishments of 2014 was held on Friday, March 13 at The Mining Exchange in downtown Colorado Springs. Mimicking Hollywood’s Academy Awards ceremony, a number of BHHS Rocky Mountain brokers, agents and staff participated in the event by impersonating well-known celebrities such as Sonny and Cher, George and Gracie Burns, Brian Williams, Minnie Pearl, and many more. A special appearances made by a professional Marilyn Monroe impersonator entertained the crowd with her rendition of “Closings are a Girl’s Best Friend.” The following honorees were recognized during the evening’s festivities: Chairman’s Circle – Diamond Award: The Becky Gloriod Partners Chairman’s Circle – Gold: Trish Ingels and The Wayne and Sylvia Jennings Team President’s Circle: JoAnn Gadkowski, Randy Reynolds and The Constantino Group Leading Edge Society: Collette Wright and Keith Hays Honor Society: Bryan Seale, J P Speers, Luke Hegstrom, Mindy Sachaj, Dana Smith, Debra Faricy and Tim Lambert Gold: Bob Longgrear Silver: Kris Frank Bronze: Anita Schimmel, Jay Gupta, Marion Meyer Shooting Star: Bryan Carter, Shunn Cross, Kym Palomba, Andy Lindquist and Susan Quintana 

BY KATHERINE ROTH  THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

From the biggest botanical gardens to the smallest backyard plots and terraces, there’s a movement underway to make gardens work harder for the environment. “It’s no longer enough for a garden to just look pretty. Every garden needs to do more and every garden matters,” said Douglas Tallamy, a professor in the department of entomology and wildlife ecology at the University of Delaware. Because of global warming and habitat destruction, he said, “today, gardens need to support life, sequester carbon, feed pollinators and manage water. It’s a lot to ask, but it doesn’t have to look messy and it may be the key to our survival.” For many people who aren’t sure what they can do about climate change, home gardens provide an opportunity to make a palpable difference. That sense of purpose is creating a change in garden aesthetics, with a more natural look and more emphasis on drought-tolerant and wildlifefriendly plants. “It’s one of the few things an individual can do to mitigate climate change. The cumulative impact on the environment is huge, plus it’s easy, affordable and fun,” said Ann Savageau, who ripped out most of her lawn in drought-parched Davis, California, a year ago and replanted with desert grasses and other native plants.

“The increase we’ve seen in pollinators, butterflies and birds at our house is really exciting, and we reduced our water usage by two thirds,” she said. Whereas there used to be enough land for wildlife and humans to exist separately, it’s become essential that we share habitats, Tallamy and Rick Darke argue in their book, “The Living Landscape: Designing for Beauty and Biodiversity in the Home Garden” (Timber Press, 2014). “Unless we share our space with nature, the plants on which bees, caterpillars, butterflies, birds and other wildlife depend will not survive,” Tallamy said. Earth-friendly gardens consist mostly of native species, on which local wildlife depends, experts say. “Gardening for wildlife, especially birds, is really the hot thing now in horticulture and gardening. The trend is toward naturalistic garden design, with native plants. It’s a High Line kind of a look,” said Kristin Schleiter, associate vice president for outdoor gardens and senior curator at the New York Botanical Garden. The High Line, the New York City park and garden which runs along a strip of old elevated track, “does symbolize a newer aesthetic in purposeful, naturalized gardening,” said Tom Smarr, its director of horticulture. About half the plants are natives and the other half are self-seeded species,

which require relatively little maintenance and water. “There’s way more forgiveness and durability about it,” he said. “A lot of people have totally been inspired by the wild look and have tried it on their own at home,” Smarr said. A few specific ways that home gardeners can go easy on the planet: PLANT AN OAK TREE Oaks sequester lots of carbon, have enormous root systems that help manage water and, according to Tallamy and Darke, are fantastic at supporting wildlife. “There are 557 species of caterpillars in the Mid-Atlantic states, and they’re all bird food. The birds eat all the caterpillars to support their young, so you don’t need to worry about defoliation.” FEED THE POLLINATORS Tallamy warns that without pollinators, 80 percent to 90 percent of all plants would be lost, and that gardeners should focus on plants that feed the estimated 4,000 species of native bees. Pollinator-friendly gardens feature a sequence of native flowering plants, so that from April through September something’s always blooming. Mountain mint, sunflowers, native holly, sweet pepper bush and goldenrod are all great for pollinators, Tallamy said. Further west, blazing star and milkweed are good choices. Schleiter

said that early spring can be especially tough for bees. For early bloomers, she recommends Lyndera, a native bush with great fall color, and also dogwood. MINIMIZE LAWN, CONCRETE AND NON-NATIVE ORNAMENTAL SPECIES “Around 92 percent of our suburban lots are lawn, and that’s the worst you can do,” Tallamy said, adding that concrete seems to be our “default landscaping” and ornamental Asian plant varieties have little to offer native wildlife. “In the typical American yard, 80 percent of the plants are from China. That’s not a functioning eco-system,” he said. Even apartment dwellers can help, by planting native species on roofs and terraces. Schleiter said: “Really think about the amount of chemical that’s put on our lawns. If you’re not using all of your lawn, just let the grass grow out and maybe put in some native perennials. It all adds up.” AVOID PESTICIDES “If you’re planting a garden for bees and butterflies, don’t use pesticides that will kill bees and butterflies,” warned Schleiter. “It sounds obvious, but people do it all the time. You have to be extra sure that when you buy a plant at the nursery, it hasn’t been sprayed with any pesticides. Nurseries do it a lot and you need to be extremely careful.” 

4 work problems you shouldn’t waste your time on BY DOMINIQUE RODGERS MONSTER.COM

We all have a finite amount of energy and mental bandwidth on any given day. With family obligations, bills to pay, and trying to be successful at work, there are enough things going in your life that you have to worry about. Why add more if you don’t have to? Some work problems may seem like things you should worry about, but they really aren’t. They’re hidden energy and time sinks that will zap your focus, creativity and drive. Once you decide to stop

wasting energy on these problems, your work life will be much smoother.

OUTDATED PROCEDURES

You may know areas where your company could save time and money by using new technology and more efficient processes. And if you do, by all means, share that information with your supervisor — once, suggests Chaz Pitts-Kyser, author of

“Careeranista: The Woman’s Guide to Success After College.” “Suggesting a change once is okay, but when it becomes apparent that your supervisor prefers the old method, just leave it alone,” she says. “Pushing the issue can make you seem like a know-it-all who doesn’t respect other people’s decisions. Focus on making your own work as a efficient as possible and learn to live with those silly procedures your company can’t seem to let go of.”

LAZY CO-WORKERS

When you feel like your co-workers aren’t pulling their weight, it can be frustrating, but nevertheless it’s none of your business. If your colleague’s poor performance is affecting your work, it’s OK to address it with them directly or with your boss, PittsKyser says. But if nothing changes as a result of your remark, you just have to deal with it. If you press the issue repeatedly, it will seem like you’re questioning your boss’s decision-making, she says. Instead, after that first complaint, just “do your work as best you can despite your colleague’s poor efforts.”

MULTITASKING MANIA

Multitasking used to be all the rage, but research has shown it doesn’t improve productivity and cuts into quality of work. Instead, Tresha Moreland, founder of HR C-Suite, recommends you stop trying to multitask and focus on one or two things at a time. Finish them well and then move on. “You’ll find your accomplished list grows at a faster rate and with a better quality outcome.”

“URGENT” EMAILS

The ping alerting you to a new email can be addictive and alluring, but it can also be a

death-knell. It’s so tempting to check every ping. You think to yourself, “What new information is someone sending me that I need to know? What vital information do they need from me?” It’s easy to get caught up in the sense of urgency, but it’s not really necessary. How many emails do you get each day that can’t wait a few hours? If it’s genuinely time-sensitive, someone will probably text or call you and make sure you know what’s happening. Moreland suggests that, instead of all the stopping and starting involved with answering emails as they arrive, you try answering emails at set times during the day. “Try turning off your computer and smartphone sounds if you find you can’t resist the temptation of checking those messages right away.” 
