HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — It’s time for some holiday cheer.

The Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is getting ready to illuminate the community, just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Garden officials say they have been working around the clock all year long to ready the grounds for the big reveal.

(Reuters) – It takes a special kind of moxie for a defendant to double down on a litigation tactic that the judge overseeing your case has described as “the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.”

The billionaire family that owns New York’s Madison Square Garden apparently has just that kind of temerity.

On Tuesday, after trial judges in both New York State Supreme Court and Delaware Chancery Court criticized a month-old MSG policy to ban plaintiffs lawyers who have sued the company for any reason from attending events at any of their venues, MSG sent out a new letters reinforcing the tires. Plaintiffs lawyers are not allowed into MSG, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theater or the Chicago Theatre, no matter how they get tickets, the new letter said. And if they try to defy the ban and enter one of those venues, MSG advised, they

A photographer has created a stunning underwater floral garden photoshoot that was inspired by the hit Netflix television show Bridgerton.

Kimber Greenwood, owner and lead photographer of Water Bear Photographytells MapPixel about the process of bringing this beautiful underwater shoot to life.

Before she started Water Bear Photography, which specializes in underwater portraits, development, boudoir, and maternity photography, Greenwood had been a scuba diver and lifeguard for over 20 years.

“Strangely, the water side came long before the photography side,” says Greenwood, who is based in Gainesville, Florida.

“I fell in love with technical cave diving and freediving, so it was so natural that soon after I got my first camera, I wanted to take it underwater!”

“Water Bear Photography specializes in creating one-of-a-kind shoots for brands, businesses, and individuals who want something creative and that no one else will have.”

If you’re planning a new bed for perennials, groundcovers, shrubs or trees to plant next spring, the path to success starts with a good foundation. It’s easier to improve soil before plants are in place, so the time to do so is now.

before beginning, remove weeds from the area.

Next, test your soil’s pH. Test kits are reasonably priced and widely available. Plus, most states have university-affiliated agricultural extension offices that offer low-cost testing services to home gardeners.

Each plant species thrives best at a specific pH range. If the reading is outside the target range for a plant, it won’t be able to avail itself of nutrients, whether from soil or fertilizer. So consider what you’ll be planting next year, learn its pH requirement and amend the soil if necessary.

The redesigned Japanese Garden in Ashland’s Lithia Park is the long-awaited bridge between the respected Portland Japanese Garden and the famous Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.

Landscape designers Toru Tanakaa former garden director of the Portland Japanese Gardentransformed less than an acre of the 100-acre Lithia Park into an immersive horticultural experience orchestrated to erase outside concerns and plant people in the present.

Tanaka took full advantage of historic trees that had grown in the footprint reserved in 1915 for a Japanese garden. He maximized forested and mountain views beyond the garden’s fence, and created tranquil, contained areas that borrow from adjacent scenery.

Amid new plantings, accessible pathways and landscape lighting are towering pine trees and shimmering maples that have anchored the space for generations.

Although Ashland’s Japanese garden is small, it is a distinct, enclosed universe that evokes strong responses. It’s impossible to

I don’t know what exactly happens when you turn 30, but suddenly you find yourself looking forward to a weekend trip to the garden center. But not just any old garden center: specifically Oakland Nursery.

This locally owned garden center has been the destination of thirty-somethings like me (and Columbusites of all ages) for over 80 years and for good reason. A stroll through Oakland kind of feels like strolling through a magical wonderland.

Oakland Nursery was founded in 1940 on Maize Pike where it operated for 10 years before moving to its current location on Oakland Park Ave. Since 1950, Oakland Nursery has been the go-to destination for spring flowers, summer ferns, fall mums, Christmas trees, and everything in between.

Today, there are actually four Oakland Garden Centers around the city that you can visit, but there’s something incredibly special about the original location.

The president then walked off into the garden before turning around and ?“Where are we going?”

Staffers are heard off camera telling a baffled Biden how to get back inside the White House.

“What if I want to go that way?” the president appears to ask at one point, to which someone responds off camera, “You can go that way if you want.”

“You can do whatever you want,” another staffer assures the president.

“Yeah, I notice how much freedom I have,” Biden appears to joke as he joins his wife
