One of the best ever sculptors and artists of the 17th century, Gian Lorenzo Bernini fashioned, created and built nearly all of them. Also a city architect, he had capabilities as a water feature developer, and remnants of his life's work are obvious throughout the roads of Rome. To completely reveal their art, mainly in the form of public water features and water fountains, Bernini's father, a celebrated Florentine sculptor, mentored his young son, and they eventually moved in Rome. An diligent employee, the young Bernini earned praise and the backing of various popes and influential designers. His sculpture was originally his claim to popularity. He used his ability and melded it gracefully with Roman marble, most notably in the Vatican. Though he was influenced by many, Michelangelo had the most profound effect on him, both personally and professionally.

Herb Container Garden: Basics 287525002102528993.jpg Your Herb Container Garden: The Basics Natural herb gardening is a subject that many gardeners are attracted to. They're extremely easy to grow both indoors or outdoors, and provide instant gratification as you can use them in a wide array of recipes including soups, marinades and sauces. Maintaining your herb garden all year is straight forward to do as you can plant the herbs in pots and move them in when the weather starts to turn cold. Since perennial natural herbs don't die easily or need replanting every end of the year, they are a practical (and fun) addition to your garden. Think about the types of flavors you enjoy cooking with (and eating)when selecting herbs for your garden. Think about the dishes you like when picking out which herbs to plant in your garden. For instance, if you cook a lot of Italian food you may want to plant basil and oregano. If you like Latin food, select cilantro. Where you put your herb garden will determine which herbs can grow there. If you live in a mild climate, with warm winters and relatively cool summers, it may be easiest to plant straight into the ground. This makes it so you do not have to worry about making planters. It is also a stunning way to decorate your garden. If you do not want to your plants to die or become dormant after being exposed to extreme weather conditions, you can still rely on planters. They are practical and convenient and you can relocate inside at any time.
