Project: Ark Family Preservation Center, Clinkenbeard Healing Gardens | Franklin Springs, GA
Contact: Beverly Oxley, boxley@wellspringsga.com, 706-246-5290
Description: Clinkenbeard Healing Gardens are an initial but essential phase in the development of ARKLAND, the grounds and facilities providing a natural environment for the yet-to-be-built Ark building. The gardens are to be divided into 3 sections, each with a distinct purpose in line with the Arch-mission of serving the psychological and spiritual needs of children, adults, parents and families in Northeast Georgia. The first section (Faith) will be the Enrichment Garden, where there is to be concrete sidewalks and benches, as well as picnic tables; also located here is the entrance with a welcome sign and a gate, with ornamental fence. The second section (Hope) is a Meditational Garden, and will be a multi-purpose space for meditation, with inspirational messages. The third section (Charity) is the Inspirational Garden, designed for dementia patients.

Project: Keith Backyard Hardscape Design | Alpharetta, Fulton Co GA
Contact: Lisa Keith, lkeith11@bellsouth.net, 770-633-1172
Description: Our goal is to have a beautiful, useful backyard space. Our backyard is shaded, sloped and adjacent to woods causing the lower portion to be completely hard-pan with tree roots. We have experienced considerable erosion during the time we have lived here. We would like a detailed hardscape plan to terrace the yard using as much of the existing slope as possible to create spaces where plants and sod will grow – preferably something other than the moss that is thriving now. We would also like to add a seating area with a firepit. With the slope and erosion issues, I am not confident designing a plan on my own. However, we would like to do as much of the work as possible ourselves.
Challenges/Opportunities: Solve water run-off and slope issues using aesthetically appealing retaining walls and create usable family spaces with hardscapes. Preferably using easy access materials so we can do some of the installation.
Timeline for completion: Open
Budget for design work: TBD
Budget for installation: Open

Project Name: Residential Design
Contact Information: Alicia King, asjking1@gmail.com, 770-608-1016
Project Location: Jefferson/Jackson County
Project Description: We have 1.8 acres. Our home is in a small subdivision carved out of a field. We have begun to redo the landscaping that was put in when the house was built. We have put in just a few new shrubs, but basically you would be working with a clean slate. Ultimately we would like to work with someone to come up with an easily maintained landscape design (that we can implement) that will highlight our little ranch home.
Goals: landscape around home to add visual appeal to a basic ranch, chose plants/trees that will proved color/visual interest though each season, where to plant trees on property, and design a simple backyard entertainment area.
Opportunities: landscape design
Challenges: hide utility box close to the road while not blocking a fire hydrant, water run off that flows through front yard after extremely heavy rains.
Timeline for completion: We would like to be able to begin implementing the design plan for the front yard this coming spring, 2018.
Budget for design work: to be negotiated
Budget for installation: We are not really looking for someone else to do the work, but if a student is interested in that part of the project, we are open to that.

Project Name: Hurricane Irma Catastrophic Loss – Birdie Lane
Contact Information: John Brotbeck, jfbrotbeck@gmail.com, cell: 704-578-4314
Project Location (City: Duluth, GA /County: Gwinnett)
Project Description: Site improvement goals: We have owned our home for two years and never really had much luck growing our own shrubs, flowers or trees (with the exception of four Encore Azaleas which had survived until the house was nearly destroyed). Everything we have was inherited from previous homeowners. Almost everything we have tried to plant has died (including four Lantanas).
On Monday, September 11, 2017 the remnants of Hurricane Irma caused 60+mph wind gusts to uproot and blow over three giant trees in our yard and cause catastrophic damage to our home as well as most of our landscaping. Four people were in the home including me, my wife, and two house guests who had evacuated from Miami, FL – my brother-in-law, and his partner.
I do have some limited insurance coverage for the replacement of some landscaping., but we are really going to be starting with a clean slate in regards to the landscaping design. This is where you and your program come in. Our house reconstruction will be going until at least mid-March 2018. If you are interested in challenging one or more of your students with this project – they would have plenty of time to come out and survey the property, take pictures and meet with me to discuss ideation. Again – between hardscaping (paver stones/arbors/etc) and plants – this is a ‘clean-slate’ project. All that exists is the floor plan of our existing home to work from. It is not new construction. The trees caused nearly 1/3 of our home to be destroyed, and the re-construction is going to require even further demolition.
Opportunities: Design landscaping for homeowner heavily affected by Hurricane Irma.
Challenges: Busy Job Site (demolition and construction site) – will require sturdy boots and a hard hat. Will require making appointments with homeowner to meet in person at the secured job site.
Timeline for completion: June 15, 2018
Budget for design work: $1000+
Budget for installation: $2500+
