Conventional lawns just don't make any sense in a place like Winnipeg. For starters, the average lawn is an environmental menace that soaks up tens of thousands of litres of precious water per summer. Although the southern Manitoban climate is not particularly dry, thirsty Kentucky bluegrass usually needs to be watered with sprinklers several times a season. In a world facing a paucity of fresh water, this is utterly senseless. * THEN KILL THAT SUCKER: Swaddle your lawn with a plastic barrier, or even better, a dozen layers of old newsprint, if you can find the stuff lying around. Drop some topsoil and plant whatever plants you've chosen. You'll have to weed for a couple of seasons, but eventually the native plants should muscle out anything else that blows in. * TAKE ME WITH A GRAIN OF...

Horticultural fashions change constantly. The 1950s British cottage garden featured delphiniums, rhododendrons, foxgloves, lupins and azaleas. The modern gardener -- concerned as she is with "structure," "texture" and "form" -- might sneer at such gauche displays of showy flowers. In drier but more temperate places, it might be time to rethink the lawn. Grass is thirsty. On the Royal Horticultural Society's website, Richard Bisgrove, a senior lecturer in landscape management at Britain's University of Reading, suggests planting little thickets of drought-resistant plants in gravel. Chamomile likes hot, dry soil and smells great -- it could make a lovely lawn in low-traffic areas. Tyndall's entry in this year's Chelsea Flower Show shunned the use of concrete, which is impermeable to rain...

The appearance of Ronald Stewart's article on prairie drought on a soggy and "monsoon-like" weekend in Winnipeg and southern Manitoba is an interesting coincidence (As world warms, drought (and storms) get more extreme, June 28). It reinforces the complexity of prairie drought science, which is not yet fully understood. The dust bowl years of the 1920s and 1930s witnessed recurring and severe droughts on the Canadian/American Prairies and atmospheric scientists still do not fully understand why the dust bowl years' climate was so anomalous then. Stewart suggests stronger and more severe droughts in a warmer future world, but ignores the fact that the Earth's mean temperature has been declining (albeit slowly) for the past 10 years or so, since about mid-1998. There is a growing debate a...

As my four-year-old daughter would say, it was awful. The young whitetail springs over the railing -- ignoring the "DANGER Do Not Climb" sign -- and tumbles into the algae-stained moat that protects the nation's capital from the King of Beasts. I'm chatting at Rock Creek headquarters with the amiable Ken Ferebee, who for the past 18 years has been the park's natural resource management specialist. (Disclaimer: I'm a former National Park ranger myself. Wish I still were.) Ranger Ferebee has conducted a census of the park's white-tailed deer and he estimates the population at 67 per square mile. This is four times the whitetail's normal, natural abundance, leading to daily carnage on the park's crowded, winding roadways, frequent, fatal incursions into the grounds and cages of the Nationa...
