"A beautifully landscaped
home." This is a phrase that is
'usually connected with the
homes of the well to do, who
have enough money for garden
ers and elaborate plans built
round expensive trees and
shrubs.
However, Rogue valley resi
dents will have an opportunity
starting this Wednesday to see
that this is not necessarily so.
A free landscape clinic, conduct
ed by an Oregon State college
landscape architect and two lo
cal landscape experts and spon
sored by the county extension
service office will be presented
at three places in the valley.
The clinic and a lecture on
landscaping have been scheduled
for Wednesday morning and af
ternoon in the Jackson county
courthouse. Ben Solberg, asso
ciate professor of landscape
architecture at Oregon State col
lege, will be in charge of the
clinic.
Others To Aid
He will be assisted by Mrs.
Fred Lorish, Medf ord, who holds
bachelor's degree from the
University of Oregon and a
master's degree from Harvard
university, gained while a stu
dent at Smith college, both in
landscape architecture. Also aid
ing in the clinic will be Chester
E. Cory, Ashland, superintend
ent of Lithia park and a gradu
ate of Oregon State college.
In addition, on Thursday the
landscape experts will landscape
the home of J. D. Rose, 501
Melrose street. Friday they will
landscape the home of Samuel
B. Smith, Evans Valley. Both
projects will start at 1:30 p.m.
To Aid Public
The clinic, lecture and land
scape projects are designed to
aid the public in individual prob
lems concerning beautification
of their yards, according to C. B.
Cordy, county agent for horti
culture. Interested persons are
urged to take part in any or all
of these functions, free of
charge, he states.
The entire program, which
was first held here in 1948, has
been built around average or

"HOME WITH PERSONALITY" Pictured above is the home

lower priced homes. The land
scape experts point out that
owners of such homes have as
much pride of ownership as
owners of larger residences, but,
particularly in new homes, have
such a large portion of their in
come invested in paying for their
homes that they do not feel they
would be Justified in paying for
outside help in their landscaping
problems.
Since 1948, homes have been
selected each year to be land
scaped by Professor Solberg.
Homes are chosen by special
committee on a basis of site
homes which can be readily seen
by other people who may be
able to pick up ideas from them
are most desirable and on a
basis of representative problems.
Provides Services
The extension service provides
the services of a trained land
scape architect who draws up
the plans, and with the coopera

where to plant each plant. The

The plants must be provided
by the homeowner, but he is
free to purchase them from any
nursery of his choice.
The yard layout and planting
of shrubs is done at a public
meeting and all residents of the
community are invited to watch.
At the same time, some of the
basic landscape principles are
discussed.
Persons planning to attend the
Wednesday clinic and desiring
individual help should bring
photographs and a scaled draw
ing of their home, according to
Cordy. He states that this will
give the architect a better
chance to see what the home
owner has in mind and to offer
suggestions which will better fill
various needs.
In First Year
In the first year of the pro
ject, a lecture was held and the
home of Mrs. Ben Gardener,
Eagle Point, was landscaped. An
other lecture was held in 1949
when it became apparent that
lectures alone--were not filling
the homeowners' needs. In 1950
five homes were landscaped. At
some of these, yards were staked
out, but no plants were set.
These projects proved effec
tive, so in 1951 planning was
restricted to' that type of work
and three homes were land
scaped. They were the Don
Bohnert home west of Central
Point, the W. S. Lair home, 1016

the Dale Williams home, 733

This year it was felt that, in
addition to being able to see the
landscape architects at work, it
would be desirable to allow
homeowners an opportunity to
discuss Individual problems with
them.
A recent trip around the val
ley showed the value of the land
scaping projects. At the Bohnert
home, the largest landscaped so
far, approximately $85 in shrubs
had transformed the house Into
what Mrs. Bohnert called "a
home with personality."
Many Cemaaeuts
Mrs. Williams In Ashland re
ported that she had many com
ments on the appearance of their
home since the landscaping pro
ject last year. As at other homes,
the Williamses are now planning
further landscaping in their back
yard.
Mr. and Mrs. Lair, in Medford,
were pleased with the landscap
ing project, but were unhappy
about the fact that several of
their plants had died. The clay
soil In the area of their home
makes it more difficult to raise
shrubs.
Perhaps the fairest test of
landscaping was at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. OUarra,
423 Lit way, Ashland. Land
scape work there was done two
years ago. Thanks to taking part
in the extension service pro
gram they now have one of the
most distinctive homes- in a
neighborhood of new residences.
The ideas used at these homes
are available to everyone. All
they have to do is attend the
clinic, or Just look at the land
scaped homes.
