Ambition at Awbury
23.05.12
Van de Velde is Awbury's second general manager in less than two years. (Citing personal reasons, his predecessor, Karen Anderson, left last spring after just 16 months.) And he certainly wasn't hired for his horticultural expertise.
"I mow the grass when my wife tells me to," he says.
But van de Velde has something that public gardens increasingly value in the 21st century, and that Awbury desperately needs: extensive experience promoting economic development, managing public-private ventures, running entities as diverse as Whitemarsh Township and the Philadelphia Gas Works, and advising governments and nonprofits.
Van de Velde came out of retirement to take the Awbury job. "I didn't want to see the place disintegrate," he says.
The arboretum has a bare-bones, $300,000 annual budget and a $750,000 endowment, which in today's market generates only about $25,000 a year in income. State money and programs the arboretum used to rely on have dried up; the Philadelphia school district no longer sponsors student field trips here; and foundation grants are more competitive than ever.
All it takes is a few small additions, most of which can easily be purchased at your local department store and you can have a garden, landscape, yard, whatever you want to call it that both looks great by day and helps protect you at night. And while you are designing your landscape, you might consider putting in gravel paths or patches near and around any windows. There are even outdoor, surveillance units you can purchase that are shaped like modest, outdoor decorations. Think about it. If anyone tries to get up close to your windows to sneak a peek, they will step on the gravel and you will hear them coming....
How do I sell my David Blackburn original pastel sketch?

I have tried a dealer in London and some large auction houses. It has been valued and is authentic. Includes documentaion etc. He is an Anglo-Australian artist, born in 1939. The piece is titled 'Banking with trees: Study for a landscape vision. 1986.
Working in luminous planes of color, he creates a world of magic where all is peace. Teodoro Reque Liza gives an enigmatic tone to this Andean landscape. Titled "Visi?n del paisaje andino III" in Spanish.
At the same time, they suggest both sunbeams that penetrate deep ravines and tall, imposing pines. Titled "Visi?n del paisaje" in Spanish. Peruvian artist Teodoro Reque suggests objects, but his style is abstracted as he paints in oils. His work is magical and filled with light.
Titled "Visi?n del paisaje andino II" in Spanish. He captures the magic of golden petals bathed in sunshine and distant mountains, drawing the viewer deeper and deeper into a magical world.
