Garden Design
Explore the art of garden
design in this
comprehensive course. You
will learn the fundamental
elements of style, basic
techniques And professional
tricks necessary to design
the gardens of your dreams.
Professional garden design
is something that is
inspirational And is
essentially solving the
various logistical problems
associated with what you
have to work with, where to
position such items as
pathways, swimming pools,
tennis courts, water features,
flower beds And which plants
would be most suited. Good
garden design adds these
ingredients to create a style
in keeping with the site, the
house And your client's
requirements.
The whole process of design
begins long before you put
pen to paper. Your initial job
is to find out just what you
have And then what you
want to achieve based on
this initial fact finding.
Once this basic analysis is
completed, you can then
move on to the fun job of
preparing the design.

Biochemic Tissue Salts
Diploma Course
"You can trace every
sickness, every disease And
every ailment to a mineral
deficiency." Dr. Linus
Pauling, winner of two Nobel
Prizes. This statement is not
at all surprising if one looks
at the work done by Dr.
Schuessler on cell salts in
the 1850's. He found that
the ability of the body to
utilise nutritional material is
impaired when there is a
tissue salt deficiency. He
also concluded that if the
body became deficient in
these essential minerals,
the deficiency caused an
abnormal or diseased
condition. To Dr. Schuessler,
a symptom was merely a
distress signal, warning that
a body constituent was
missing And when restored,
the body condition returns to
normal. This safe,
easy-to-use system is a
MUST for all therapists And
those with an interest in this
subject.

fields. These birds also prefer nesting in meadows, pastures or orchards with grazed And
mowed vegetation. The entrance hole should have a diameter of 3 inches.
Ash-throated Flycatcher And Great Crested Flycatcher
These birds prefer nesting at a height of three to twenty feet from the ground. The entrance
should be a round hole of 1¾ inches diameter. Place birdhouses in deserts, oak scrubs,
mesquite thickets And dry plains with few trees or cacti, or in open, deciduous woodlands.
Barn Owl
This owl species prefer nesting at a height of twenty to twenty-five feet from the ground.
They prefer open places like deserts, fields or marshes. Their nest boxes should be close to
riverbanks, cliffs, hollow trees, barns And bridges - ensuring good rodent supply. Make
birdhouses with round entrance holes of 6” diameter for housing barn owls.
Black-capped chickadee And Carolina chickadees
These birds have similar nesting And habitat preferences. These birds prefer nesting at a
height of five to fifteen feet from the ground. Put an inch of wood shavings in the birdhouses
And make an entrance hole of 1 1/8 inches diameter away from the direction of the wind.
Place them in meadows, forest edges And in woodlots with many mature hardwood trees so
that they receive sufficient, but not direct, sunlight. Place one box for every ten acres.
Chestnut-backed chickadees And Mountain chickadees
These birds prefer nesting in mixed forests of deciduous And coniferous or coniferous-only
forests in close proximity to streams.
Eastern Screech Owl And Western Screech owls
These owls prefer nesting in forest edges, woodland clearings, parks, or in trees with
streams in the vicinity. Put a layer of two to three inches of wood shavings in their
birdhouses And place them at a height of ten to thirty feet from the ground. Make round
entrance holes of 3” diameter, facing north.
House Wrens

trees. Place their birdhouses at a height of five to ten feet above the ground And make
round entrance holes of 1¼ inches diameter. Carolina wrens additionally prefer nesting in
forests with thick undergrowth.
Brown-headed Nuthatch
These birds prefer clearings or burned areas with dead trees, open stretches of pine-
hardwood forests, forests edges or cypress swamps. Make round entrance holes of 1¼”
diameter And facing away from the prevailing wind. Place such birdhouses at a height of five
to twenty feet. The Red-breasted Nuthatch prefers mixed deciduous And coniferous forests,
farmlands And suburban parks.

can place many birdhouses at a height of five to fifteen feet about thirty to a hundred feet
apart in open areas near trees or fences. Entrance holes should be round with a diameter of

birdhouse that it will use? Tree swallows, wrens, And bluebirds prefer single unit, enclosed
birdhouses.
