Welcome to my Livingroom!
Imagine an actual living room that you could go to in your back yard and have a dinner party?Check out Organic Mechanics display

Portrack House near Dumfries
Imagine setting up a garden for students to physically experience science, physics and math. This is it right here. Imagine Bjork's Biophilia album in garden form? Could it be done? I don't see why not.

Pruning Wisteria
1. Cut Basal vegetative growth
2. Any dead or damaged branches
3. Extra vegetative growth close to framework, 2-3 buds on a slanted cut so rain can not build up in the crevasse.
4. Tie any branches you can use to cover areas.
5. to promote flowering, root prune 2ft around the base of the plant to shock it into blooming
Never cut any major branches. Like a tree, you do not want to cut the leader.
