Community Visioning Programs: Processes and Outcomes (Community Development Research and Practice Series)
by Norman Walzer Gisele F. HammCommunity visioning is key in helping local public officials and community leaders create a flourishing future for their cities, and is essential for the effective planning and implementation of these strategies. Visioning involves collaborative goal setting to motivate actions – of planners, citizens, and officials – in order to design and carry out a strategic planning process for the successful development of the community. The use of visioning since the 1980s has led to a wealth of information on the productivity of the paths it has taken. The contributors, all with experience working in the area, review the successes and failures of the strategies, and look at new innovations which are pushing the frontiers of community visioning. This review of the development of visioning focuses on small and medium sized communities in North America. It aims to guide citizens, local leaders and planners on what strategies are best to help them revitalise their communities and ensure a prosperous future.

Then, after an exploration of fern botany—its parts, how it grows, its variability in size and form, habitats, propagation, etc.—you’ll learn how to green your indoor and outdoor environments with ferns. Every aspect of care is covered: potting/planting, watering, fertilizing, pest and disease control, and more.Finally, you can explore creative planting projects, like terrariums, vertical gardens (living walls), mixed tabletop gardens, and moss baskets, and create pressed fern art, fabric wall hangings with chlorophyll-stained designs, cyanotypes, and handmade fern-decorated paper. You’ll soon understand why this ancient plant class continues to be all the rage.
