Étude et restauration de deux sculptures de jardin en terre cuite by Sabrina Vétillard

“…The study and the restoration of two sphynges in terra-cotta, particularly degraded by their outdoor installation, allowed to deepen the knowledge of stamping techniques, to characterize the properties of terra-cottas and mechanisms of degradation bound to the frost. The different techniques used were the opportunity to think about limits of intervention for garden installed sculptures.…”

Protecting Blueberries from Freezes in Florida by J. G. Williamson, Doug Phillips

“… Blueberries bloom in late winter or early spring in Florida, making the flowers and young fruit highly susceptible to freeze and frost injury. Killing freezes can occur as late as mid to late March throughout much of Florida, long after the initiation of bloom, especially for early-ripening southern highbush blueberry cultivars. …”
