Guide To Landscape Design For Year
In the desert, planning ahead is important when it comes to landscaping. Water is a valuable resource in areas where drought conditions can sometimes be inevitable. Desert landscaping can add depth and beauty to your outdoor environment while providing a number of other benefits. For beautiful year-round landscaping, consider some of the suggestions below. Year - Round Beauty Integrate a variety of seasonal blooms into your landscape design for optimal year-round color. For example, you may want to include different types of cacti with brilliant blooms at different times of the year. Incorporating rocks, shade trees, succulents, and flowering shrubs can help create a calm, natural aesthetic to please the eye. Cacti Barrel Cactus – Displays orange, yellow, or red flowers in late summer. Hedgehog Cactus – Boasts beautiful red and pink blooms in April and May. Chain Fruit Cholla – This hardy cactus, also known as the Jumping Cholla, will keep your landscape popping with majestic magenta blooms from April until September. Saguaro – This iconic cactus boasts Arizona's state flower from late spring until early summer. The showy white blooms are only open at night. Red fruits appear later in the summer. Flowering Plants Chuparosa – A favorite of hummingbirds, the Chuparosa is a semi-succulent with bright red, yellow, or orange blooms. This plant typically produces big, showy blooms from late winter to early spring. Coulter's Lupine – Slender in appearance, Lupine can add a sense of serenity to your landscape with its tall stalks of bluish-purple, pink, or white. This beauty flowers from March until May. California Poppy – Sporting bright blooms of various colors, the California Poppy can bloom from late winter into the summer. While the state flower of California is typically known for its brilliant blooms of orange, some variants of yellow, red, pink, and white can be found. Trees Ironwood – The large, beautiful Ironwood tree can reach heights of up to 30 feet. It boasts blooms of purple or white in late spring and early summer. Mesquite – Another large desert tree, the Mesquite offers edible beans for wildlife while sporting bright yellow flowers in the spring. Create Some Shade Creating shade in your garden is a great way to beat the heat of the desert sun, but a shady reprieve is not the only benefit. Adding trees to your desert landscape will also help conserve water. Plants growing under the shade of large, native trees require less watering. This not only provides for less maintenance, but may help save on your water bill as well. The far-reaching branches of trees like the big, beautiful Ironwood can create an aesthetic beauty that also serves to protect your flowering plants while conserving water. In the desert environment, water can be a valuable resource. It's important to plan your landscaping around this idea. Envirogreen Landscaping can help you achieve a beautiful, eco-friendly garden with top-tier desert landscaping services. Once you have decided upon your planting preferences, Envirogreen Landscaping can provide you with a 3D view of your landscape design. This lets you see exactly what your landscaping will look like beforehand.

What is No Kings day? Protests planned for June 14 in EUP, elsewhere around Michigan
Thousands of nationwide demonstrations against President Donald Trump's administration are scheduled for Flag Day, June 14, with numerous events planned across Michigan. "The flag doesn't belong to President Trump. It belongs to us. We're not watching history happen. We're making it," the No Kings organization said on its website. More than 1,800 events are scheduled across all 50 states as a collective stand against President Trump's policies, and the recent military response to ICE protests in Los Angeles, California. "The 'No Kings' mobilization is a direct response to Donald Trump's self-aggrandizing $100 million military parade and birthday celebration, an event funded by taxpayers while millions are told there's no money for Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, or public schools," the No Kings organization said. In Michigan, there are 70 protests scheduled on June 14 at various locations and times. Here's more on the No Kings protests in Michigan: According to the No Kings website, at least 70 protests (including several in some cities) are planned across Michigan on June 14. Protests are planned around Michigan's landmarks to make it easy for crowds to locate and gather, for instance, a protest planned at Michigan State Capitol. Here are the No Kings day protests in Michigan's Upper Peninsula: Ironwood Crystal Falls Marquette Escanaba Sault Ste. Marie St Ignace Here are the No Kings day protests in northern Michigan: Beaver Island Petoskey Rogers City Alpena Gaylord Glen Arbor Benzie County Traverse City Elk Rapids Bellaire Harrisville Oscoda East Tawas Standish Cadillac Manistee Ludington Pentwater Here are the No Kings day protests in mid-Michigan: Bay City Midland Mt. Pleasant Big Rapids Newaygo Greenville Chesaning Lansing Owosso Here are the No Kings day protests in southwest Michigan: Muskegon Grand Haven Holland Grand Rapids (2) Lowell Hastings Battle Creek Kalamazoo Paw Paw South Haven St. Joseph Niles Three Rivers Here are the No Kings day protests in southeast Michigan: Flint Fenton Howell Brighton Chelsea Jackson Adrian Ann Arbor Saline Milan Belleville Wyandotte Detroit Dearborn Livonia Novi Waterford Ferndale Roseville Troy Farmington Hills Romeo Port Huron "No Kings is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration," according to the organization. The organization has a core principle of No Kings day, and that is a commitment to nonviolent action, the organization said, and to avoid or diffuse confrontation. For these events, participants are encouraged to bring signs or props, recruit friends and take photos and videos on their phones. "We're standing together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption. On June 14, we gather to remind President Trump and his enablers: America has No King!" Points highlighted by include: "He's using OUR tax dollars to pay for HIS party: President Trump's birthday celebration is expected to cost millions of our tax dollars, all while Republicans claim there's no money for Social Security, SNAP, or Medicaid. "We are united against kings: President Trump has already indicated that he's aiming for at least a third term, and now he's planning a self-aggrandizing military parade in D.C But the American people don't put up with kings. Together, we will mobilize in huge numbers to reject this corruption and abuse of power — it's in our DNA as a country. "They've gone too far: This is bigger than political disagreement. They've defied our courts, deported American citizens, disappeared people off the streets, and slashed our services — all while orchestrating a massive giveaway to their billionaire allies. Enough is enough. For anyone who thinks he's gone too far, this movement is for you."
