LOW WATER CONSUMPTION GARDENING: CONTRIBUTING TO THE CARE OF THE WORLD The increase in water consumption in agriculture and green areas has raised concerns about its consequences on aquifers and water reserves worldwide. Coupled with the rise in global temperatures, evapotranspiration levels are decreasing the availability of freshwater alarmingly. Faced with this issue, at Green Garden Corp., we have committed ourselves to environmental responsibility and have been developing garden designs with a reduced or low water requirement for their proper maintenance. Evapotranspiraci-n. (n.d.). https://www.recursosaguapuertorico.com/Evapotranspiraci-n.html?no_redirect=true The primary focus of our work is to conduct a detailed analysis of native species in each region where we operate. In this way, we can select the most suitable species adapted to the specific climatic and soil conditions of each area. This allows gardens to survive and thrive sustainably without requiring large amounts of water for maintenance. Water-efficient gardening not only helps conserve this vital resource but also presents other benefits. By reducing irrigation, the risk of floods and excess soil moisture is decreased, thus preventing potential damage to structures and drainage systems. Additionally, by employing native and adapted species, we promote local biodiversity and contribute to the balance of the ecosystem. Low-water gardening not only helps conserve this vital resource, but has other benefits as well. By reducing irrigation, the risk of flooding and excess moisture in the soil is reduced, thus avoiding possible damage to structures and drainage systems. Furthermore, by using native and adapted species, we promote local biodiversity and contribute to the balance of the ecosystem. It is important to emphasize that the implementation of water-efficient gardens does not mean sacrificing beautiful and attractive green spaces. On the contrary, with the right knowledge and intelligent design, it is possible to create aesthetically pleasing environments that harmoniously integrate with the surroundings.

GREEN CUTTING IN GOLF COURSES Since the day Edwin Budding invented the first mechanized lawn mower in 1830, there has been constant improvement in the condition and playability of greens. Today, cutting is one of the main practices used by superintendents or greenkeepers to achieve smooth and fast greens. Césped Paspalum Vaginatum Given the climatic conditions of the Dominican Republic, the task of cutting the green is carried out daily. Frequent mowing helps greenkeepers maintain high playability turf by providing several short- and long-term benefits: controls vertical growth helps grass spread laterally promotes high shoot density produces smooth surfaces creates less friction with the golf ball increases the speed of the greens for the enjoyment of the players. Cortadora Toro Greenmaster Flex 21 On the other hand, properly sharpened and adjusted mowers do a better job of cutting grass blades cleanly and evenly. This benefits the health of the turf and the quality of the playing surface. The operator guides the mower back and forth across the green in straight lines, creating an attractive stripe pattern. Alberto Santana con una cortadora Toro Greenmaster Flex 21 Another basic concept of mowing greens is determining the height of cut. This setting is completely particular to the course and is determined by the superintendent based on turf type, topography of the greens, seasonal growth rate, and desired speed of the greens. What may be appropriate in one field may not be in another. A very important point, which is often misunderstood, is that not all grasses are created equal. A cutting height that is considered appropriate for bentgrass (Agrostis) might not be appropriate for Poa annua, Bermuda ultradwarf, or Paspalum, as is the case here. Determining the height of cut depends not only on the type of grass, but also on equipment, expectations, and labor availability. All grasses have a cutting height tolerance. It is typical for the height of cut to adjust up and down throughout the year based on seasonal growth rates and in response to stressful environmental conditions. Proper mower setup is necessary to achieve the desired cutting height and playability. Proper adjustment is critical to producing a correct cut, higher quality greens, and desired green speed.

VERTICAL GARDENS: TYPOLOGIES AND CHARACTERISTICS In a context where environmental concerns and improving the habitability of increasingly congested urban spaces are current issues, vertical gardens emerge as an alternative to integrate vegetation into buildings. There are numerous advantages that a vegetative envelope brings, both in the internal energy functionality of the building and spatially in the environments it occupies. This is why in recent times, various typologies of vertical gardens and technical solutions have been developed, offering a wide range of possibilities. However, gardens on facades and rooftops have always existed in traditional architecture, in both cold and warm climates, due to their excellent insulating qualities. Today, some of the most commonly used vertical gardens include: Green facades These consist of climbing plants that attach themselves to the facades of buildings by their own means, without auxiliary support. Thus, only the necessary environmental conditions for the plants' life (water, light, and soil) need to be provided to implement this system. Sphagnum vertical garden In this system, plants grow in an organic substrate made of Sphagnum moss placed inside steel mesh gabions. Depending on the garden's dimensions and the conditions of the wall to cover, it may or may not require an auxiliary structure for fixation. A drip irrigation system releases water from the top of the wall, soaking the substrate until it finally drips onto a collecting channel that directs excess water to a drain. While nutrients can be provided through irrigation, they are not essential in the short term. Hydroponic Vertical Garden The hydroponic vertical garden system involves the installation of an inert material layer (felt, rock wool, foams, etc.) that enables plant growth, fixed on an auxiliary structure typically made of steel profiles. It's coupled with an automated irrigation system that allows water recirculation. Water falls from the top of the wall, moistening the phytotextile layer where the plant species are placed. Finally, the excess water drips into a collecting channel, directing it to a tank with recirculation. This tank is supplemented with nutrients and fertilizers for irrigation. Modular Vertical Garden Modular vertical gardens consist of prefabricated panels, their main advantage being the speed of installation, but they have greater limitations in terms of shape. Preservad Vertical Garden Preserved vertical gardens consist of natural preserved moss, maintaining the same texture and appearance as living moss. Their advantage lies in not requiring special light or watering conditions. It's a 100% natural and biodegradable product, particularly suitable for spaces where conditions don't allow for natural plant life, such as certain interiors. Vertical gardens are a modern and versatile solution to address sustainability in dense urban environments. They offer advantages such as improving energy efficiency and enhancing spaces' aesthetics. There are various typologies, from green facades to hydroponic and modular systems. The preserved vertical garden, featuring natural moss that requires neither natural light nor watering, stands out as a biodegradable option for indoor spaces. These gardens blend nature and architecture, contributing to well-being and the environment in cities.

LANDSCAPING IN CORAL GABLES, MIAMI The City of Coral Gables is undertaking various landscaping projects in its urban core. Among them, the reform of the "landscape" of one of the main arteries of the city, Ponce de León Blvd. Tenusa Inc. is participating in these works, which consist of the elimination of the existing landscaping in the median and both sidewalks, in the area between the intersections with the secondary streets and "Miracle Mile" and its subsequent reinstallation with new plant species, as well as the reform of the existing irrigation system. Ornamental species such as Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific', Liriope muscari 'Super Blue', Tradescantia pallida 'purpurea' and Jasminum simplicifolium, as well as the choice of Gold Mulch, will completely change the appearance of the area, adding color and a very different from the previous design, consisting of a monochromatic green provided by the only plant species present, Ficus microcarpa 'Isla Verde'. With the need to carry out the works in a very limited time, Tenusa Inc. has been trying to minimize the impact on the high traffic of vehicles in the area, perhaps the busiest in the city, which entails a plus of coordination and logistical efficiency. in order to successfully complete this great urban landscape project.
