Salvation Army vows to soldier on as Christmas comes

robots rule!

Probe launched into missing toys from North York warehouse LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com Despite the “heartbreaking” alleged theft of $2 million worth of toys from its North York warehouse over two years, no family in need will be deprived of a Christmas this year, a church spokesperson told a press conference yesterday afternoon.

“The Salvation Army will help anyone who comes to us this Christmas and in Christmases to

come,” Maj. John Murray said at the warehouse and distribution centre at 150 Railside Rd., southeast of Lawrence Avenue and the Don Valley Parkway, the site of a devastating fire in 2008.

In mid-August, a “whistle-blower” tipped off Salvation Army officials to the alleged theft, which involved about 100,000 toys being taken from the warehouse over approximately 24 months, Murray said.

He doesn’t know what happened to the toys and would not comment on the strategy used to remove them from the building, referring questions about the alleged theft to Toronto police investigators. No >>>whistle, page 5

In a school gym packed with more than 100 people at a public meeting Tuesday evening, residents said a proposed high-rise development would ruin the character of their North York family neighbourhood, add to traffic woes and cast shadows on their backyards when they want to enjoy their outdoor space in late

afternoons and evenings.

But near the end of the meeting, a representative of tenants living in the existing social housing townhouses currently on the site begged the community to consider the plight of families living in the deteriorating homes on Adra Villaway, Grado Villaway and Tomar Villaway on the west side of Leslie Street north of Sheppard Avenue.

If the proposed development is approved, the social housing townhouses would be replaced and five residential buildings will also be added to the site.

Cyclist, 70, injured in North York A 70-year-old man suffered head injuries after being hit by a vehicle while riding his bike in North York Friday.

Police said a red Pontiac struck the cyclist and then a pole at Islington Avenue and Millwick Drive, south of Steeles Avenue, at 2:37 p.m. on Nov. 16.

The cyclist was bleeding from the back of the head and going in and out of consciousness at the scene, police said.

He was taken to Sunnybrook hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

North York residents less likely to be screened for cancers Residents in North York are less likely to get screened for cancers than the average Ontarian.

Cancer Care Ontario is hoping to change that.

The Ontario government agency has launched a program called Time to Screen for all residents in the province, with a particular emphasis on areas that fall below provincial averages.

The campaign is a call to action

to get at least 100,000 more Ontario residents screened for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer in the next six months.

Women in the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), which oversees health planning for a section of Toronto that includes York, part of North York, East York and Beach, are less likely to be screened for breast cancer than the average woman in Ontario.

In 2009/10, 67 per cent of Ontario women aged 50 to 69 had a mammography. That compares with 60 per cent of women in the Toronto Central area. Women aged 50 to 74 should have a mammogram every two years, Cancer Care Ontario said.

Residents in the region were also slightly less likely to be screened for cervical and colorectal cancers than the provincial average.

Seventy per cent of women in Toronto Central were screened for cervical cancer in 2009/10, compared to the provincial average of 72 per cent.

Cancer Care Ontario advises women aged 21 to 70 to have a Pap test to screen for cervical cancer every two years.

The provincial average for colorectal cancer screening in 2009/10 was 52 per cent for Ontario residents aged

50 to 74, compared to 51 per cent in Toronto Central.

People in that age group should be tested for colorectal cancer every two years, Cancer Care Ontario said.

“There is strong evidence that screening for colorectal, breast and cervical cancers can reduce mortality,” Dr. Lisa DelGiudice, regional care primary lead for the Toronto Central LHIN’s cancer central program, said in a statement.

It’s time for teachers and the province to get along

The North York Mirror is published every Thursday and Friday at 175 Gordon Baker Rd., Toronto, ON M2H 0A2, by Toronto Community News, a Division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Grey Cup an opportunity to re-connect T

his Sunday’s Grey Cup is more than just an opportunity to experience an annual celebration of a storied Canadian tradition.

For Torontonians, this city is on display as the rest of the country watches. Being the 100th game, it’s a milestone event and we should be proud to be hosts.

But the football game is also an opportunity for us to re-connect with and celebrate the city’s rich our view history in the sport.

Renew friendships The first Grey Cup game was played at forged through sports Toronto’s Rosedale Field on Dec. 4, 1909. The University of Toronto Varsity Blues defeated the Parkdale Canoe Club 26-6.

Of the 100 Grey Cup games, Toronto’s hosted nearly half of them at places such as Varsity Stadium, Exhibition Stadium and now the Rogers Centre. In addition to the Varsity and Parkdale teams – as well as the Argonauts – Toronto also once had a Balmy Beach team competing. Players such as Ted Reeve (a former Argonaut and Balmy Beach player) are enshrined in the city’s sporting history. Reeve’s name now adorns a sports facility in East York.

Much has changed as Canadian football has evolved. While interest in the Argonauts may have waxed and waned in recent years, the city’s connection to football remains strong.

There’s a number of Toronto youth teams in the Central Ontario Minor Football League. Several high schools offer playing opportunities at different levels of competition and two universities, York and U of T, have varsity teams. A number of players on both of Sunday’s championship finalists, the Calgary Stampeders and the Argonauts, also have connections to the city.

The great thing is, there are ways to celebrate and re-connect with the sport even if you don’t have tickets to the game. There are plenty of ancillary events taking place in the city.

Also, treat this game as an opportunity to reach out to friends with whom you’ve had a connection through the sport. Perhaps you went to games together or watched them on television or played together in high school. When people get together, events like these can unite citizens and neighbourhoods. Friendships can be rekindled. New relationships can be forged.

By hosting the milestone event, Toronto and its historic connection to Canadian football is being recognized. We should take this opportunity to renew and refresh the friendships that developed through our own connections to the sport.

To the editor: I am 10 years old and in Grade 5. I love sports and participate in many extracurricular activities in my school, and this teachers’ conflict is hitting kids like a ton of bricks.

It came out of nowhere.

They didn’t ask us what we wanted. Did they think this wouldn’t affect us? All kids in schools are affected by this horrible mess. It’s a disgrace to children and parents in all of Ontario.

Our education doesn’t only occur in the classrooms. It takes place on the playing fields, in the gymnasiums, on the diamonds and in so many other locations that extra-curricular activities takes students.

We need teachers back.

It’s not their needs, it’s ours.

How it gets done is up to the province and the unions.

We learn to get along in the classrooms, and the province and teachers should, too.

My festive cup has not runneth over this year

I

t was an absolutely gorgeous Saturday so I went for a longer morning run than I normally do to take advantage, and after I was done I made a pit stop at The Perpetually Trendy Upscale Coffee Establishment in my neighbourhood.

I’ve always thought that handle was a rather wordy choice for the well-known franchise but seeing as how it is typically standing room only inside and outside the place every morning, the company obviously knows what it’s doing.

Anyhow, when my coffee cup arrived it didn’t have the usual unmistakable trademark design. I did a double take.

Actually, it was more like a quintuple take. Canadian figure skating sensation Patrick Chan seated nearby gave me a high five and what he thought was a

but seriously

jamie wayne

toonie that fell out of my pocket during my quadruple routine and rolled under his table. Truth to be told, it was one of the brand new threenies. A toonie doesn’t go very far in The Perpetually Trendy Upscale Coffee Establishment.

But back to matter at hand. I mean, IN hand, the unfamiliar cup. It was red with wintry images all over it. I didn’t recognize it without my reading coffee cup glasses that I didn’t have with me because I don’t need them for jogging. The cashier said it was a festive cup, which The Perpetually Trendy Upscale Coffee

Establishment uses to celebrate the holidays.

The only holiday at this time of year is U.S. Thanksgiving. Shouldn’t there have been a turkey on it? I asked.

She said she was referring to the holidays at the end of next month.

It was Nov. 17, felt like April 17 and I was wearing a T-shirt and shorts. I was thinking about today, not days six weeks from now.

So I ran home as fast as my little legs could carry me put on my reading coffee cup glasses, which are also handy for perusing words in the dictionary, and I looked up the word “festive.”

Maybe it didn’t mean what I thought it meant all these years.

The words “merry” and “joyous” appeared. That’s what I thought it meant. So I glanced back at the cup. It didn’t make me feel merry

or joyous about holidays a month-and-a-half away.

On Sunday, I headed downtown to catch the Santa Claus Parade. That lifted my spirits, so afterwards I dropped into The Perpetually Trendy Upscale Coffee Establishment in that neighbourhood and this time I brought my reading coffee cup glasses AND dictionary to help me get with the program. But again, all I saw was a cup that still looked terribly out of place.

Oh well, you can’t fight festive cups in mid-November. It’s clear they’re not going away any time soon, so I’ve got to ditch my reading coffee cup glasses once and for all. n Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously.

>>>from page 1 charges had been laid as of yesterday afternoon.

Food and other donated products have also disappeared from the warehouse, Murray said.

“I think, from the Salvation Army’s standpoint, I think it is disheartening to be the victim of a crime and we believe that has happened in this case,” he said.

On Monday, the executive director, whom Murray did not name, was fired.

Citing privacy concerns, Murray would not say whether the whistleblower, believed to be a staff member, is still employed by the Salvation Army. But he said it took great courage for the person to bring “irregularities” at the warehouse to the attention of officials.

After the whistle-blower came forward, the Salvation Army conducted an audit and has also employed financial giant KPMG to conduct an external forensic audit, he said.

“Our protective systems worked.

We’re working on strengthen-

ing them,” he said. “Every dollar entrusted to us is sacred. We don’t take that lightly.”

The Salvation Army has also advised its insurers of the alleged crime and expects reimbursement, Murray said.

Despite the magnitude of the alleged theft, Murray is asking donors not to abandon the Salvation Army’s annual Christmas campaign to help the less fortunate.

“To those Canadians who routinely support the Salvation Army, we appeal to them not to lose confidence in our organization,” he said.

“Our protective systems worked, we are strengthening them, we will recover most of our losses and the generosity of Canadians will continue to enhance the quality of life for the many who are in need.”

Last year, more than 156,400 toys were donated to the Salvation Army Toy Mountain campaign in Toronto.

About 140,000 toys are distributed to needy children every year.

The Salvation Army also provides food and other assistance.

>>>from page 1 tenant representative Lil Rankine said in an emotional plea.

“We are the people and we need to live good.”

The aging townhouses have mould and basements flood with sewage, Rankine said at the public meeting at Dallington Public School.

“We would like to live in nice places,” she said. “We are people.

Let’s put money behind, and put people first.”

Poonam Jain, a member of the executive of the Bayview Village Association, said the community supports replacing the townhouses with better social housing for the families.

scale of development But the community is worried about the scale of the proposed development, she said.

“We’re not against replacing the (social housing units),” Jain said.

“The concern is the amount and the density. We certainly have nothing against this rebuilding.”

The proposed plan would see the existing 121 social housing community demolished and replaced with 127 social housing townhouses,

two 10-storey buildings with one being a 150-unit retirement residence and the other being a 90-unit rental building, and three condominium buildings of 14, 16 and 18 storeys.

The development would be a partnership between Toronto Community Housing Corporation and Deltera Inc., part of the Tridel Group of Companies, one of Canada’s largest residential developers.

While the social housing needs to be replaced, the development as it is now proposed is not acceptable, Don Valley East Councillor Shelley Carroll said.

“It’s got a long way to go before everybody’s happy. A long way,” she said.

But the condo buildings are needed to bankroll the new social housing, Tridel development manager Steve Daniels said.

“We’re excited we can be part of this new approach to providing affordable housing in the city,” he said, noting governments don’t have the funds to pay for social housing.

Tridel wants to build a neighbourhood that rivals the highly regarded revitalization of Regent Park downtown, Daniels said.

Being only a 10-minute walk to the Leslie subway station, the site

is appropriate for high-rises, he added. amenities featured The development would also feature pedestrian walkways, a central courtyard including a playground and other amenities.

But residents said the development doesn’t fit in with their family neighbourhood and could set a precedent for more higher-density development.

They said it would add to traffic congestion on Leslie, which is already at a crawl during rush hours, and push more traffic on to surrounding residential roads.

They were sceptical of traffic consultant Steve Krossey, who said research indicates the development would add only minimal traffic to Leslie during rush hour.

One resident said he is not opposed to adding more density to neighbourhoods, but argued nothing is being done to ensure services such as schools, parks, community centres and stores keep up with the growth.

“Are we building buildings where people can live, not just sleep? So, where are the services?” he asked.

There have been a lot of dumb moves by the Ford administration over the past year. But last Friday, the right-wing mayor and his so-very conservative team made a very smart move, as they invited EglintonLawrence Councillor Josh Colle to sit on their executive committee.

Colle is a first-term councillor, and one of the more prominent voices – some would call him the de facto leader – of council’s socalled “mushy middle.”

Now, that is a deceptively unkind term, to describe a group of councillors who essentially bring the kind of pragmatism that one would hope comes to nuts-andbolts municipal government, keeping their place on the political spectrum generally to themselves.

More than the hated left, this group has been the real bane of Rob Ford’s existence on the floor of council. They have proven themselves anything but mushy, as they rejected the mayor’s budget, derailed his plans to build a subway instead of light rail lines, replaced his

TTC board of directors and approved a plastic bag ban for January of next year.

The mayor and his team have so far responded with glares and threats of electoral retribution. But that strategy is proving evermore hollow, particularly as the mayor’s personal troubles stack up.

Bringing Colle onto the executive committee could signal a very intelligent shift.

Colle has made it clear he’s going to vote independently, whether he’s sitting on the mayor’s team or not.

Colle has proven himself to be a leader among the middle. It was his amendment to the budget this year that reversed cuts championed by the mayor and the budget chief. He’s often at or near the middle of the compromises that impact that middle vote.

And over the next two years, the Ford administration has to have some wins.

If 2012 was a lesson in anything, it was humility: that however great a mandate Rob Ford received in 2010 when he was elected, he can’t count on that alone to bring about consensus on council. If he wants to succeed, he’ll have to follow the example of other mayors.

Ford has begun to do this – notably, backing off his dream of selling off 700 detached homes owned by the Toronto Community Housing Corporation in favour of a small sell-off and big renewal.

With Colle onside, he will have a means to determine how to make those compromises earlier, and more strategically. It could mean a balanced budget that passes with the consent of council.

It could, if he plays it right, mean a rebirth for the Ford mayoralty.

New vehicles, with top speed of 70 km/h, to be ready by 2014 They won’t be ready to ride until 2014, but for one day at least the TTC unveiled the first of the new sleek modern light rail vehicles to replace the city’s aging streetcar fleet.

Representatives from all three levels of government were on hand at a press conference last week at the TTC’s Hillcrest complex to tour the new streetcar.

The new low-floor Bombardier LRVs will be 25 feet longer than their articulated predecessors, allowing for 68 more passengers. The interior of the vehicle will contain no steps, allowing riders with mobility issues to board with ease according to a fact sheet provided by the TTC. The new vehicles, which have a top speed of 70 kilometres per hour, are fully air-conditioned and provide space for bicycles as well as designated areas for wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said the new streetcars will run on the Presto fare system. Each vehicle will have Presto card readers riders can tap, as well as two automated ticket dispensers that will issue receipts that double as transfers.

Having a proof of payment system (POP) in place will improve service and reliability, said Ross. “The vehicle can now move off more quickly from a stop so that the vehicle behind doesn’t catch up, and that’s when we get into situations like bunching and gapping,� said Ross last Thursday.

It will still be over one year before the public will get a chance to ride the new streetcar, but Ross said the TTC will make the test model it unveiled this week available for people to board. He said the vehicle will be on the streets in 2013, but only for testing purposes.

If all goes well, the new vehicles could be in service in early 2014, but nothing is confirmed as of yet, said Ross.

He said both the 510 Spadina and the 504 King routes could be the first lines the new streetcars run on, which are expected to run on all 11 of the city’s existing streetcar lines.

Of the $1.2-billion price tag for the cars, two-thirds of the cost will

be covered by the city and the TTC while the remaining third comes from the province. The TTC has also allocated a share of the federal gas tax fund – $108-million – toward the order of 204 vehicles to be manufactured at Bombardier’s Thunder Bay plant.

The new TTC streetcar was unveiled during a media conference held Nov. 15 at the TTC’s Hillcrest complex. The new vehicles are scheduled to go into operation along the city’s 11 streetcar routes in early 2014.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION CENTRE #3 MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY WEST VAUGHAN SEWAGE SERVICING City of Vaughan

Community

Bayview baking

The Regional Municipality of York (York Region) completed the Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update in November 2009. At that time, the need for additional Regional sewer servicing capacity was identified for the West Vaughan area (the Project) to meet future anticipated growth demands until the year 2051.

York Region has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment study (Class EA) under Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, as amended in July 2011). The Class EA study identifies and evaluates feasible servicing alternatives for the West Vaughan service area (see map below), including a sewage servicing plan. A Notice of Study Commencement was published in March 2011, and two Public Consultation Centres (PCC) were held on April 27, 2011 and June 20, 2012.

The construction of a new Regional sewer and expansion of the existing Humber Pumping Station have been selected as components of the preferred servicing solution. The preferred sewer route is shown on the map below.

COOKIES FOR COATS: Amica at Bayview community relations manager Kimberly Davies, left, New Circles’ Donna Lu Mitchell, coat donator Sylvia Stokes and Red Coats Moving Solutions president Vicky Riley Keyes enjoy the fruits of their labours during the Amica at Bayview ‘Cookies for Coats’ event earlier this month. Donations of used winter coats were received and donors were treated to cookies and tea.

York Region will host a third PCC to present a project status update, the evaluation of the recommended servicing solutions carried forward from the second PCC and the evaluation of design concepts for the preferred solution. The recommended design concept(s) for the preferred servicing solution will be identified at the PCC. Consultation with, and input from the public and government review agencies is a vital component of this Class EA process. Members of the public and review agencies are invited to provide comment for consideration into the overall planning and preliminary design of the Project.

Comments received at the PCC will be considered in the decision-making process for selecting the preferred design concept(s). All those with an interest in the Project are encouraged to attend.

The Public Consultation Centre will be held on: Tuesday December 4, 2012 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Presentation: 7 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.

Toronto Board of Health urges council to reject casino DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto Council should flatout reject any attempts to locate a casino in Toronto on strict public health grounds, Toronto’s Board of Health has recommended.

The board voted to refuse the casino after considering a report from Toronto’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David McKeown, looking at the public health impacts of locating a gambling casino in Toronto.

The report is one of two major reports council will be considering as it decides whether to invite the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to establish a casino in Toronto.

The report from McKeown recommended that any casino be subject to 10 conditions, to mitigate the significant health problems surrounding problem gambling.

The recommendations including limiting the hours of operation, restricting the

number of slot machines, eliminating loyalty programs, keeping ATMs off the gambling floor, prohibiting casino credit, mandating a maximum daily loss and reducing the maximum bet size, banning alcohol service on the casino floor, and issuing monthly statements so players can rate their losses.

McKeown told the board

‘The overall evidence is that an increase in availability of gambling leads to more problem gambling.’

– Dr. David McKeown that problem gambling could grow into a significant public health problem as casinos become easier to access.

“The overall evidence is that an increase in availability of gambling leads to more problem gambling,” said McKeown.

He said that currently, about 0.2 per cent of the population are severe problem gamblers.

In the Greater Toronto Area, that translates to 11,000 people.

Problem gambling tends to hit men, young people and lower-income people more than others, and can lead to other public health problems.

And according to the report, just one per cent of problem gamblers enter treatment programs.

The board also decided to recommend scuttling any overtures to build a casino here.

“This report leads to a very simple conclusion and that is we should not allow the expansion of gaming in the city,” said St. Paul’s Councillor Joe Mihevc, a committee member.

“Well, we should say it. That should be our input to the city, speaking as a body interested in public health.”

It’s expected council will vote on whether to bet on casinos in late winter.

DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto got off easy last winter, with mild temperatures and very little snowfall.

And while Toronto’s works department is hoping for more of the same this winter, they’re not betting on it.

“We’re hoping for another mild winter but we’re ready if we have a heavy snowfall,” said public works and infrastructure committee chair Denzil Minnan-Wong Tuesday as the city unveiled its 2012-2013 winter snow clearing plan.

The mild winter past has left the city with a $20-million surplus on top of its annual $86-million snow clearing budget, but that surplus could evaporate if the rest of November and December prove more blustery.

To that end, the city has readied its fleet of 1,100 snow clear-

ing vehicles to keep the roads and sidewalks clear: 600 snow plows, 300 sidewalk plows and 200 salt trucks.

They’ll be deployed to various types of roadways depending on the severity of the storm.

Once snow begins, the city sends out salt trucks to main roads and expressways. When the snow reaches 2.5 centimetres, snow clearing starts on expressways; at five centimetres, arterial roads will be cleared. When it hits eight centimetres, local roads will get ploughed.

“Some people think that once a few centimetres fall on the ground you should be on my street. Well, that’s the standard,” Minnan-Wong said.

He said the city is ready to deal with most snowfalls, but admitted that if the city gets hit with an unusually large snowfall – such as the one in 1999 that caused then-

Mayor Mel Lastman to call in the army to clear snow and make the city the butt of jokes – it would be a challenge.

“We’re ready for winter,” he said.

“I don’t think anyone was ready for 1999. We’ve got enough resources but in the case of a 1999 storm, if that were to happen all over again everybody would be challenged to deal with it.”

As always, the city is asking residents in downtown neighbourhoods to clear the snow on sidewalks in front of their houses, but elsewhere the city will endeavour to clear sidewalk snow itself.

The city is also getting ready to deal with another bane of winter: frozen water mains. The city is continuing to replace aging water mains, but crews are on call 24/7 to repair any that break.

Anyone seeing a broken water main is advised to call 311 to report it.

Educating cyclists on dangers of streetcar tracks Proposal to remove out-of-service tracks not considered ideal DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com

Toronto Shop Talk is hosted by Toronto Community News, publisher of your award-winning community newspaper.

416.493.4400

Toronto transportation staff will look at ways to educate cyclists about the dangers of streetcar tracks, but the city’s works committee balked at a proposal to remove several kilometres of out-of-service tracks in locations around the city.

The committee was looking at the issue of cyclists and streetcar tracks, in part in reaction to the death of a cyclist who caught his tire in streetcar tracks on Wychwood Avenue, off St. Clair Avenue West in August.

The cyclist died when he struck his head after falling off his bike.

The tracks on Wychwood were out of commission and local councillors and cycling advocates said it made sense to fill in or remove the tracks to prevent future accidents.

In total, there are 3.5 kilometres of disused streetcar tracks throughout Toronto.

Trinity-Spadina Councillor Mike Layton moved the recommendations to simply report on filling it in.

“We know what a problem this is,” he said. “You know that certain care needs to be taken on streetcar tracks. And sometimes it’s dark, there’s water covering the track, and sometimes a car is parked in the wrong place. It can result in tragic circumstances.”

St. Paul’s Councillor Joe Mihevc, who not only represents the area where the cyclist was killed, but actually knew the man from the time he was a child, made an

impassioned plea to fill in the unused tracks.

But other members of the committee were unwilling to go that far. The committee did recommend a safety strategy that would include better pavement markings and a public education campaign to teach cyclists how better to navigate the hazards.

Don Valley West Councillor John Parker said streetcar tracks are just one of the hazards facing cyclists, and shouldn’t be blown out of proportion in terms of their risk.

“As a cyclist I know where to look for streetcar tracks and how to avoid them, but potholes are a matter of surprise every time I go out,” he said. “If I thought resources were being distracted from potholes to tear up streetcar tracks in areas that don’t get a lot of cycling traffic and where they’re self-evident, that might not be the best use of resources.”

Reflect on your year of gardening and start making plans for 2013

W

inter is approaching quickly and sadly the gardening season is coming to a close. It’s a perfect time for reflection and contemplation of your garden over the past year.

The gardening world is always changing with the times but I find it fascinating when old ideas resurface and become new again.

Some trendy gardening design ideas are recycled and some are completely new.

Some ideas I adore and continue to use (even if it’s not trendy anymore) and some I never really adopted in the first place.

My top five are of interest to me because they’ve changed the way I design gardens and how people view gardens overall.

■ Garden Structure

The idea of garden structure is fairly well known in the garden design world, but often overlooked by many individuals.

Incorporating the garden “bones” or structure in the winter is easily accomplished with evergreens or built form like pergolas or a sculpture.

After the plants are finished blooming, the garden structure is the bare bones of your garden.

It’s not just about the plants, but the hardscaping as well: sculptures, rockery and gazebos add permanence and significance to your outdoor space. I don’t consider this a trend, but a design idea

GREEN WITH ENVY

MARILYN POMER

that needs consideration for every garden.

■ Low Maintenance

Low maintenance is my most popular request at initial client meetings over the last decade and it’s important to remember that a lower maintenance garden will still require watering, weeding, mulching and pruning.

If you’re looking for nomaintenance, a garden is not what you’re seeking.

Ironically, the lack of time factor in our modern lifestyles has brought about this desire for low maintenance.

Unfortunately, there are limited technological shortcuts for plant life.

■ The ‘Green’ Alternative

What’s more environmentally friendly: a lawn, a planting bed or permeable paving? The most confusing trend on the market is green living, mostly due to insufficient information.

Do your research with native plant material for your garden. Not every native plant will work in your garden.

Composting, mulching and organic pest control are three easy environmentally friendly things to do in your garden.

jobs

■ Outdoor Kitchens

This is a trend I really never adopted as I’m not excited about a stainless steel appliance in my garden. I prefer to have one kitchen in my house.

Outdoor kitchens have presented the concept that nothing is too avant-garde for the gardening world.

I think outdoor kitchens evolving into kitchen gardens is the right transition.

■ Tech Savvy Gardens

Gardens and the Internet are a perfect match. The ever-changing world of landscaping can be discussed throughout the world using blogs, websites, Facebook, etc.

It’s a great way to share new ideas, create learning forums or obtain heirloom tomato seeds for your garden.

Whatever the latest garden idea is for this year, allow yourself to customize your outdoor space to suit your style and individual needs.

Your style will change with time, but that’s what makes the gardening experience so versatile and different.

No one knows what the future of gardening has in store for us so keep a balance of the past and present design ideas in your garden with room in store for transformations.
