  2. My annual spring trip to Riverside Greenhouse outside McVeytown (Home of the McVeytown Ghost Light) has become akin to Christmas morning for this gardening Old Timer. #greenhouse #gardening #gardener #plants #spring #mcveytown #ghostlight #ghoststories #ghoststory #planting

    Pittsburgh originally had two public conservatories,
    both established by Henry Phipps, Jr.,
    childhood friend of Andrew Carnegie
    and second largest shareholder in Carnegie Steel.

    In 1886, Phipps donated $25,000 to establish a glasshouse in his hometown of #Allegheny #City
    —today’s North Side.

    This first Phipps Conservatory became a very popular destination.
    It has undergone many iterations,
    and we know the site today as the National Aviary.

    The 9-room Phipps Conservatory in Oakland’s #Schenley #Park opened in December 1893 as another gift from Henry Phipps, Jr.
    —this time to the City of Pittsburgh.

    It showcased many plants that had been on display at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

    THE FRICK GREENHOUSE

    The #Frick #Greenhouse was built in 1897
    when Mr. Frick hired the Pittsburgh architectural firm of Alden & Harlow to add to his estate.

    It wasn’t the first such structure at Clayton, but this new one was meant to be a showpiece.

    According to the papers “no expense was spared” and it was described as " . . . one of the most modern public or private ones in the state of Pennsylvania, and possibly in the United States.”

    Alden & Harlow worked with Lord & Burnham, an American company
    renowned for its conservatory design.

    Among other efforts, The New York state-based Lord & Burnham created the Schenley Phipps buildings,
    worked on the Golden Gate Conservatory,
    and designed the conservatory at The New York Botanical Garden.

    Glass houses like the Frick building were often built of durable cypress or white pine, with structural elements of iron or steel.

  4. A climate battery is a sustainable heating and cooling system that uses forced air and low-temperature geothermal energy. It circulates air through underground tubes, regulating temperature and humidity. Acting as a "heat bank," it stores heat from warm air and releases it as needed, reducing HVAC energy demands.

  5. At the Hamill Family Play Zoo building in the Brookfield Zoo you can find this lil' gem. This is where they currently have the koala display as well. My only criticism is that I wish it was bigger. 😁

  6. 🌱What a load of farmyard manure this gardening thing is.🧑‍🌾
    It's only taken half a year, but my greenhouse is now finally ready for things to be planted in it! It has all its windows, won't blow away and after a trip to Wickes the ground is now suitable for growing plants again.

    Can confirm the manure is

    The caption read:

    "An #Azalea plant bearing some 54 #Blossoms is the proud possession of Alma Hinz.

    The plant is two years old, and this is the second year that it has #Blossomed profusely.

    According to some #Greenhouse #Men, the plant is worth about $15."

    #OTD John Tyndall, #Irish experimental #Physicist, died.

    In 1859, he discovered the #Greenhouse effect - 3 years after the American #Scientist, Eunice Foote.

    Tyndall is #Remembered for learning why the #Sky is #Blue: #Light scattering through #Molecules suspended in the #Atmosphere creates the #Color, which is sometimes referred to as #Tyndall #Blue.

  13. New review paper by Martin Hartmann & Johan Six: Soil structure and microbiome functions in #agroecosystems

    System-level #agricultural management practices can induce structural alterations to the #soil, thereby changing the microbial processes. These changes have large-scale consequences, such as soil erosion, reduced soil fertility and increased #greenhouse gas emissions.
    Sustainable approaches seek to improve soil structure and enhance microbial #biodiversity.
