Portfolio
Eric Wilmot is a landscape architect with several projects in his portfolio including masterplanning Daylesford Abbey, an 80-acre religious community, designing a pocket park in North Philadelphia, and designing a roof garden for the Temple Ambler campus. His Daylesford Abbey masterplan connected site elements, added hermitage cabins and a columbarium, and incorporated an amphitheater. For the pocket park, he designed concentric circles reflecting a neighborhood mural and included seating, fountains, and a cafe. His roof garden design for Temple Ambler explored the building's infrastructure to place plantings and programmed spaces like a sunroom.
Lecture16 Decorated Dwellings A Sr
The document summarizes the decorative features of traditional dwellings in several regions. Houses in Paroikia, Greece are two stories built with gray stone, and have seaweed-covered roofs. They are packed closely together with shared kitchens and staircases. Toba Batak houses in Indonesia have saddle-back roofs and carved/painted wood panels on gables depicting spirits and symbols. Toradja houses similarly have carved gables but also woven/leather window designs of sacred buffalo. Yemeni houses can have up to seven stories, with the top floor for men and decorated with plaster friezes, colored glass, and calligraphy.
Caffarella flora and fauna
This document summarizes the natural features and history of Caffarella Park in Rome. The park contains natural hills formed by the Almone River and construction of the city's Metro line. Notable streets bordering the park include Via delle Cave, named for stone tunnels, and Via Latina, an ancient road. The document also lists the native and imported trees and plants in the park, such as cherry and maple trees, and notes the sacred legends and ruins associated with the park and its river.

Botanic.gardens.presentation
Botanic gardens began as monastic gardens in the 8th century and later evolved into physics gardens in the 16th century. The first botanic garden was established at Oxford University in 1621 when it received a large donation used to build walls and an entrance archway. The archway featured statues of Charles I and II and a bust of donor Henry Danvers. The garden was intended for academic and scientific study of medicinal plants. It employed Jacob Bobart as the first superintendent to cultivate over 1,600 plant species, establishing seed exchange with other gardens. Today the Oxford Botanic Garden continues to be an educational resource with eight greenhouse houses hosting plants from around the world.

Garden Wicking Beds = Water Wise Gardening
Wicking beds are a high-yield, water-efficient gardening system that works well for Perth's sandy soils and dry climate. They consist of a garden bed with a water-holding reservoir directly underneath. Water and nutrients that drain below the plant roots are absorbed back up by capillary action and evaporation. This keeps the soil moist with minimal water waste. DIY wicking beds can be made from materials like bathtubs, barrels or plastic-lined garden beds filled with a porous material like broken bricks to hold water in the reservoir space beneath the plants. Wicking beds require less watering and fertilizer than traditional gardens while providing high and reliable yields, making them a sustainable option for urban food growing.
Wicking Beds: High Yield, Water and Nutrient Wise
Wicking beds are a high-yield, water-efficient gardening system that works well for Perth's sandy soils and dry climate. They consist of a garden bed with a water-holding reservoir directly underneath. Water and nutrients that drain below the plant roots are absorbed back up through capillary action and evaporation/condensation. This keeps the soil moist with minimal water waste. DIY wicking beds can be made cheaply and easily using materials like bathtubs, barrels or plastic-lined garden beds filled with a porous material like broken bricks to form the reservoir. Wicking beds require little watering once established and keep nutrients in the soil with low fertilizer needs.

Garden Wicking Beds = Water Wise Gardening for Dry Lands & Summer Droughts
- Wicking beds are a gardening system that allows plants to be grown with high water and nutrient efficiency in areas with sandy soils and long dry periods. They work by having a water reservoir underneath the planting medium that draws water up through capillary action and evaporation to hydrate the plants.
- They can be easily constructed using materials like plastic liners, barrels, or bricks to create a level bottom planter with a reservoir below. Various porous materials like gravel or broken bricks can be used to fill the reservoir space to store water.
- Wicking beds have been shown to greatly reduce water use for gardening while providing a consistent supply of nutrients and moisture to plants through the passive water movement between the reservoir and
Italian gardens oshin
Italian Renaissance gardens from the 15th-17th centuries featured axial symmetry, proportion and order. Gardens progressed from intimate secret gardens to expansive displays incorporating fountains, sculptures and terracing. Tuscan gardens featured small hills and farmhouses amid olive and cypress groves, while Roman gardens were on flat plains. Three phases saw philosophical early gardens give way to architect-designed displays and later Baroque exaggeration of nature. Key sites included Villa Medici with panoramic views, and Villa d'Este with its 100 fountains and elaborate water features.

The speaker identifies themselves as coming from Babylon, an ancient holy city known for its mud brick walls plated in gold and zinc, use of water clocks and festivals to ward off evil, sacrificing animals to please gods, and the Hanging Gardens built to please the queen. Babylon was home to the sun god Shamash and goddess of love and war Ishtar, with daily rituals cleansing temples and wealthy citizens making offerings. It was a place that had the Code of Hammurabi legal system with rights for women and slaves, and trusted physicians and exorcists who kept records in cuneiform writing in a culture with arranged marriages and marriage markets.
