<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cada mes, vamos a ofrecer un breve perfil de algún arquitecto o diseñador de paisaje. Este mes, será <b>Martha Schwartz</b>. Martha nació en 1950. Su padre era arquitecto en Filadelfia. Ella estudió Arte en la Universidad de Michigan, y luego en el Harvard Graduate School of Design. Siempre ha querido crear paisajes públicos y urbanos, sobretodo, con colores y formas atrevidas y no naturales, para que la gente llegue a apreciar y querer los espacios públicos. Dice que para ella, el paisaje incluye "aceras, calles, centros comerciales, senderos, carreteras y parkings." Su empresa, Martha Schwartz Partners, lleva más de 30 años abierto y su equipo incluye arquitectos de paisaje, diseñadores urbanos y expertos en horticultura. Sus fuentes de inspiración incluyen el artista Isamu Noguchi, el paisajista brasileño Roberto Burle Marx y el paisajista mejicano Luis Barragán.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each month, we'll offer a short profile of a landscape arquitect or designer. This month, it's Martha Schwartz. Martha was born in 1950. Her father was an arquitect in Philadelphia. She studied Fine Arts at the U. of Michigan, then at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. She has always focused on public, especially urban, landscapes, and used daring, non-naturalistic colors and shapes. She says that for her, landscape consists of "side walks, roads, shopping malls, byways, highways and parking lots." Her firm, Martha Schwartz Partners, has existed for more than 30 years and her team includes landscape architects, urban designers, and horticulturalists. Her sources of inspiration include artist Isamu Noguchi, Brazilian landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx, and Mexican landscape designer Luís Barragán.</span></span></div>

In this downtown Toronto park, Schwartz and the architects have chosen native Canadian plants and have included greener, softer textures. Above, a birch grove. Below, an enormous rock that already existed on site. At bottom, walkways with native flowers. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Chimonanthus praecox</i> "Wintersweet"</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Chimonanthus praecox </i>es un arbusto nativo de China, que florece en diciembre y enero sobre ramas desnudas. Las flores tienen una fragancia muy llamativa, que recuerda al clavo o el "allspice". Alcanza una altura de 4m. Es de crecimiento lento y tarda varios años (un mínimo de 3 o 4) hasta que empiece a florecer, aunque normalmente se encuentran ejemplares en los viveros que ya tienen flor. En zonas frías conviene plantarlo delante de un muro con exposición sur y en todo caso cerca de una puerta o ventana para apreciar mejor su olor, al entrar o salir de casa. El autor tiene un ejemplar plantado en maceta en una terraza de Madrid, donde florece cada enero.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Chimonanthus praecox</i> or "Wintersweet" is a shrub originating in China, which flowers in December and January on bare branches. The flowers have a very noticeable scent, which reminds you of cloves or allspice. It can grow to 12 feet. It grows slowly and can take a minimum of 3 or 4 years to start blooming, although normally garden centers sell plants that have reached blooming stage. In cold climates it is best to plant them in front of a south-facing wall (they do OK down to 14ºF). Plant it near a door so that you can notice its scent as you go in or come out of the house. The author has a wintersweet planted in a tub on a balcony in Madrid, where it blooms every January.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">El invierno es la estación del año más olvidado, en muchos jardines. Ésto, a pesar de la existencia de cientos de especies que prestan interés visual en forma de hojas perennes, una corteza de tonos o textura llamativos o incluso flores atractivos o con olor. Aquí se mencionan algunos ejemplos.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Winter is the most neglected season in many gardens. This is despite the availability of hundreds of species which lend visual interest in the form of evergreen foliage, colored or textured bark, or attractive or even scented flowers. We will mention just a few of them here.</span></span></div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<i>Cornus</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hay varios especies de <i>Cornus</i> que son interesantes, ideales para dar una nota de color al jardín invernal. Según la variedad, sus ramas pueden ser rojos (<i>C. alba</i> 'Sibirica', <i>C.sanguinea</i> 'Midwinter fire'), anaranjados, amarillos, verde lima (<i>C.sericea</i> 'Flaviramea') o incluso negros (<i>C.alba</i> 'Kesselringii'). Es recomendable podarlos hasta 5-8 cm del suelo cada dos años, en febrero o marzo antes de la aparición de las hojas, porque los nuevos tallos que broten tendrán un color más intenso. Para resaltar el color, sitúalos delante de un seto de color oscuro o donde los rayos del sol al amanecer o atardecer puedan iluminalos. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">There are several species of dogwood or<i> Cornus</i>, which are ideal for lending color to a winter garden. Depending on the variety, it's branches can be red </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(<i>C. alba</i> 'Sibirica', <i>C.sanguinea</i> 'Midwinter fire')</span>, orange, yellow, lime green </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(<i>C.sericea</i> 'Flaviramea'),</span> or even black </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(<i>C.alba</i> 'Kesselringii')</span>. They should be pruned back to 2-3 inches from the ground every other year before the leaves appear (February or March), since the new stems which grow back will be more intensly colored. To highlight their color, <i>Cornus</i> bushes should be placed in front of a dark hedge, or where the sun's rays will light them at dawn or sunset.</span></span></div>

<i>Acer pensylvanicum</i> y otros: "Snakebark Maple"</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">El término en inglés "Snakebark Maple" (arce de corteza de serpiente) designa a 18-21 especies del grupo <i>Macrantha</i> de los arces. Son árboles pequeños (llegan a tener una altura de 5-15 m), con una corteza rugosa de estriaciones de dos tonos. La corteza puede ser de un color más apagado o de un tono llamativo de verde claro, rosa o rojo. Las hojas son en general atractivas en otoño, de amarillo, anaranjado o rojo.</span></div>

<br /></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Otro árbol interesante para el otoño es el <i>Cercidiphyllum japonicum</i>, o Árbol de Katsura. Tiene una coloración bonito , de un color amarillo suave, pero su interés principal reside en el olor a caramelo que desprenden sus hojas caídas al pisarlas. En general, es bueno dejar las hojas otoñales en el suelo unos días para disfrutar de su color, pero en este caso, sería una pena no dejar las hojas del <i>Cercidiphyllum</i> hasta agotar su olor agradable.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another interesting tree for the fall is <i>Cercidiphyllum japonicum</i>, the Katsura Tree. Its leaves turn a soft shade of yellow in the autumn, but it is really remarkable for the caramel smell that comes from its leaves when they are crushed underfoot.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Los frutales son bonitos en casi cualquier estación del año, en particular la primavera, obviamente, por su floración, pero muchas variedades tienen además una coloración y unos frutos interesantes en otoño. Hoy, solo dos ejemplos, los <i>Malus</i> o manzanos (pero no las variedades comestibles más conocidas) y los cerezo, por ejemplo el <i>Prunus avium</i> o cerezo silvestre, <i>P.serrulata</i> o <i>P. serotina</i>. Los primeros tienen hojas otoñales de distintos tonos y frutos rojos, anaranjados o rojos. Hay muchas variedades, como el 'Golden Hornet' o 'Evereste'. Los segundos, hojas rojas y a veces una corteza interesante para añadir interés al jardín en invierno. </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fruit trees are attractive in most seasons, especially in spring due to their blooms, but many varieties have interesting fruit and leaves in the fall. Today, just two examples: <i>Malus</i> or crabapples, and cherries such as <i>Prunus avium</i> (wild cherry), <i>P. serrulata</i> (Kwanzan cherry), and <i>P. serotina</i> (black cherry). The former have orange or red leaves in the fall, and varieties like 'Golden Hornet' or 'Evereste' also have bright yellow or red fruit that stays on the tree into the winter. The cherry species mentioned have red leaves and some also have interesting bark to liven up the garden in winter.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ahora es buena época para ir a los viveros y ver qué plantas se destacan por su coloración otoñal de hojas o por sus frutos. Como coincide que el otoño e invierno son buenas estaciones para plantar arbustos y árboles, se puede elegir ahora los ejemplares más llamativos para incorporarlos al jardín o terraza. Esta semana, hablaré de especies arbustivas y arbóreas y en la siguiente entrega, de herbáceas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now is a good time to visit your local garden center to see what plants stand out due to fall leaf color or their fruit. As fall and early winter are also good times to plant trees and shrubs, you can choose the most attractive specimens to add to your garden or balcony. This week I'm going to talk about shrubs and trees, and next time, about herbaceous species.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Todo el mundo, creo, está familiarizado con los arces japoneses (<i>Acer palmatum</i>, etc), que son espectaculares en el otoño. Tienen la desventaja, en la meseta y el Mediterráneo, por lo menos, de requerir bastante humedad y un sitio protegido de vientos secos y sol fuerte. Su ventaja es que generalmente crecen lentamente y son ideales para jardines o terrazas pequeños.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Everyone is familiar with the Japanese maples, which have spectacular color in autumn. They have the disadvantage, in the center and Mediterranean regions of Spain, of needing quite a bit of moisture and protection from hot, dry winds and direct sun. Their advantage is that they grow slowly and are ideal for small gardens and balconies.)</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cada mes publicaré un pequeño reportaje sobre un jardín histórico o uno contemporáneo, preferentemente los que conozco de primera mano y en particular los de España, Portugal, Estados Unidos o Inglaterra. Este mes quería empezar con uno histórico, espectacular en su combinación de arquitectura, arte y plantación: los Jardines del Palacio de Fronteira, en Benfica, Lisboa.</div>

<span style="color: #38761d;">Every month I will post a short article on a historic or modern garden; preferably ones I'm acquainted with first hand, and in particular gardens located in Spain, Portugal, the U.S. or the U.K.. This month I'd like to start with a historic garden, at the Palace of the Marquis of Fronteira, in Benfica on the outskirts of Lisbon.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
El Palacio de Fronteira y el jardín formal fueron creados por Don Joao, el primer Marqués de Fronteira, en 1670. Entre sus ancestros había un Virrey de India, un almirante y embajadores. Existía una capilla desde el siglo XVI, y la primera edificación servía de pabellón de caza, inspirada en palacios renacentistas italianas. Es probable que el palacio y los jardines se situaron aquí por la presencia de abundantes aguas subterráneas, guiadas al jardín por cinco "minas" o túneles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Fronteira Palace and the formal gardens were built by Don Joao, the first Marquis of Fronteira, in 1670. His ancestors included a Viceroy of India, an admiral, and various ambassadors. A chapel existed on the site since the 16th c., and the first building was meant to be a hunting lodge, inspired by Italian renaissance palaces. The palace and gardens were probably located here to take advantage of underground water supplies, which were collected in five "mines" or tunnels.</div>

Los Azulejos de Fronteira / The tiles at Fronteira</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Los azulejos son un elemento ubicuo en la arquitectura y paisajismo portugués tradicional y son muy abundantes tanto en el palacio como en los jardines de Fronteira. No solo son decorativos: en un clima húmedo, protegen los muros de la humedad y pueden durar siglos. (Tiles are everpresent in traditional Portuguese architecture and gardens, and are very abundant in both the palace and gardens of Fronteira. They are not only decorative, but act to protect walls from the damp, and last for centuries.)</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Esta planta está ahora, en agosto, entrando en su primera fase llamativa del año, con la aparición de sus flores de un azul intenso. Es una especie perenne, aunque de hoja caduca, que forma una masa de follaje de un verde claro a partir de la primavera. Se extiende fácilmente a través de sus raíces y por tanto es una planta tapizante excelente, especialmente indicado para zonas de sombra ligera o incluso a pleno sol, siempre que se riegue bien. Las flores suelen durar hasta por lo menos octubre, en España. En noviembre y diciembre, las hojas tornan un rojo fuerte, que dura casi hasta navidad. Es una planta sufrida y versátil, apto para borduras, rocallas y tiestos. Como sus hojas aparecen más tarde, se puede plantar con bulbos primaverales para sustituirlos cuando pierdan su floración y hojas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This plant is currently, in August, entering the first of its two more colorful phases of the year, as bright blue flowers appear. This is a perennial, though the leaves are deciduous. It forms a dense mass of bright green leaves in late spring. As it spreads easily via its roots, it is an excellent groundcover, especially for areas of light shade or full sun (as long as it is watered well). The flowers last, at least in Spain, till October, and in November the leaves turn bright red or scarlet, and last till Christmas. It is a hardy and versatile plant, suitable for borders, rock gardens, and pots. As its leaves appear fairly late, it can be interplanted with spring bulbs so that its leaves fill in once the bulbs have flowered and become unattractive.</span></div>
