Garden and landscape design software review
I'm a big Vectorworks fan! Some 3 years ago I was hand-drawing and using Sketchup for some 3D design ideas work, then did a training course in VW and bought the software with a "windfall" inheritance…

Non Toxic Timber Preservative for Raised Beds
Quite right, CCA preservatives were banned at least 2 years ago, not only due to the arsenate but also due to carcinogenic (cancer-inducing) properties. The replacements are less harmful, but still m…

Are Aucuba japonica berries poisonous to children?
Hi Janine - I'd suggest Elaeagnus as an alternative - similar form, height, spread; tolerates light shade, evergreen; can use "straight green" or "varied" foliage cultivars, has attractive silvery un…

Do you mean "intensive" roof gardens (i.e. similar to ground-level, but simply elevated to the roof) or do you mean "extensive" (i.e. green roofs)?
If the latter, Dusty Gedge (www.dustygedge.com or @greenroofsuk on twitter) provides consultancy & t…
Hello to Garden Designers out there who use the Vectorworks CAD package. Are you making the most of your investment? I've just finished reviewing Daniel Jansenson's tutorial book "Remarkable Renderworks" - you can see my thoughts by following the l…

As an already more mature entrant into the field of garden design, with a number of high level qualifications behind me in other spheres, I would be very happy not to feel pressurised into jumping through yet more professional hoops, and that would…
There will be no increase in subs for this activity.
Best wishes

I think it's all part of the same problem that I've previously discussed, Janine - i.e. not enough practising designers see the Society as being of benefit, and the majority of members still don't see the benefit of pushing along the road to MSGD.…
Hi Steve
Well based on the details in Vitis that arrived this morning there may be no need for more dates. In the past three months there have been 2 people who have passed adjudication, 2 people have retired or resigned and one is taking a sabbatic…
Hopefully more dates can be added as soon as people start wanting to make bookings!
I do apologise Steve - I missede this discussion when I posted this to the forum - Continuing Professional Development
A CPD scheme is a major step forward for the SGD. I'm delighted that it looks like becoming a reality. The main problem will be the policing of it - who will do the policing and who will pay for it? Increases in subs will not go down well, I'm sure.

As a professional running my own business CPD is a crucial part of my business plan. I don't think you will find many people who would disagreee with that. What I think you may have a problem with is asking people to fill in bits of paper or online…
For anyone who hasn't yet input their views - a reminder, please, to have your say on the proposed SGD CPD scheme. The details are on the SGD website here (you'll need to sign in to get there), and you can respond either by emailing Steve White (st…

- Hi Steve, a second group would be great. I already have over 50 'yes' replies so getting the numbers won't be a problem. I've booked the 12.05 group, so if you could get the next one that could work out great for car share etc.
Let me know what you think
