Memorandum Circular 2015 -0002

Park Landscaping and Beautification

Background:

1.  One of strategies for the last 2 years is our park beautification.  Some of the parks we had have the mission of being the most beautiful parks in their regions.

2.  In existing memorial parks, there are many buyers in well landscaped and  beautiful memorial parks;  there is no need to sell.  It becomes a seller market;

3.  Holy Gardens conducted a seminar workshop last December in Calamba for landscaping projects;  the participants, GT and GC presented waterfalls project.

4.  This office aside from regular posting of nice parks in Community Blog, at Memorial Chapels, also posts at  Jorgeus Landscape and their accompanying Facebook pages.

5  However, this is the reality:


    1.   The sbus seldom post, or not all at daily text and email reports under park beautification

    2.  Two sbus were visited and this office was surprised that:

          1.  There were tall cogon grasses and other stray grasses;

          2.  The warehouse was open;

          3.   The landscaping standards were not followed.

This MC restates the landscaping standards and knowledge:

Definition of terms:

1.  Landscape - the general term used to describe the general appearance surrounding a building or land and consist of :

      hardscape -  architectural structures like fence, benches, tables trellis, wall, cobblestone, paving blocks

     softscape -  plants:  trees shrubs and ground cover softscape softens the hard features of  civil works;

2.   Hierarchy of plants:

      Trees  -  plants with height of more than 36 inches.  They are center of landscaping;   They can be surrounded by shrubs, and ground cover.  Our choice of trees should be:   do not attract insects, have strong roots and are not easily uprooted by typhoon, are termite resistant, do not shed dry leaves and cause litter.  Their roots should not destroy pavement and sidewalk and should be at the same time hardy during hot weather.

      E.g.   narra, eucalyptus, palms:     travellers, blue, champagne, 

      Shrubs -  with height of 12 to 30 inches.   Some are copea, golden duranta, hibiscus (gumamela) kaluskos, and even ficus;  dwarf santan.   They can be trimmed  into hedges.

     Ground cover -  plants that height of 2 inches up to 6 inches
They surround the shrubs.   Some are grasses and peanut plants, vietnam rose

The universal plants are:

bougainvilla

ficus, 

golden duranta 

because they can be both shrubs and trees.
