Referaat "Chelsea Flower Show"

Spring Show for that year. The RHS Great Spring Flower Show had normally been based at the Inner Temple in the hart of London, but in 1913 RHS had idea of moving the Show to Holland Park. They thought that the Show was becoming too big for the Inner Temple site. Anyway it stayed in first place. July 1912 the RHS President Sir Trevor Lawrence had met Major General Crutchley Of the Royal Hospital at Chelsea, and the two began to talk about a 14-day reservation of the gardens and a 14-year agreement. At the RHS Council meeting the following month, 13 August 1912, all had been decided. The show would move to Chelsea for 1913.The Council then turned to more pressing matters: primulas and experiments in electrical cultivation, for which the RHS would be "put to no expense whatsoever". 7 But it not seems so easy for everybody, Piggott Bros, the Society's tent contractors,

The building was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703. Buckingham Palace finally became the principal royal residence in 1837. When the Queen is at home, you can see her royal flag flying from the flag pole on top of Buckingham Palace. This flag is called the Royal Standard. Five regiments of Foot Guards guard the Palace. They wear red jackets and tall, furry hats called bearskins. Kensington Palace Kensington Palace is located in Kensington Gardens near Hyde Park. It was built in the 17th century and has been a residence has been a royal residence since. It was the official residence of Diana, Princess of Wales. It was improved by Sir Christorpher Wren.

Sunflower

oilseed varieties. Sunflower is the common seed name for the genus Helianthus. The sunflower is native to North America, and was used by early North American Indians for food and pressed to make hair oil. Meal from processed seed has been used for livestock feed. Today, whole seeds are used for oil, bird seed and snacks. The seeds are a rich source of calcium plus 11 other minerals. The 50 percent fat composition is mostly polyunsaturated linoleic acid. Uses: As a garden plant, the sunflower is valuable for forming a background screen. A rapid grower, it reaches a height of 8 to 12 feet in rich soil. This rapid growth could cause competition with other garden plants, especially by shading. Sunflowers can be planted between groups of shrubs, particularly where these form a background. For smaller gardens, the multi-branched species are more suitable. Dwarf forms of 24 inches in height make a spectacular bed by themselves.

The Viidumäe Nature reserve is a small area in Saaremaa rich in rare plants. Some of them are unique in the world like Saaremaa yellow rattlebox. NORTH ESTONIA It consists of 5 counties ­ Harjumaa, Raplamaa, Järvemaa, Lääne Virumaa and IdaVirumaa. The land is arable and the soil is fertile. On the northern coast is the Baltic Glint and Ontika is the highest point of it. Harjumaa is a densely populated region with large areas of summer cottages and gardens, children's camps and picnic spots. Estonia's biggest waterfalls are found there. In Harjumaa there is a little town Paldiski which was an important military port. The area surrounding Aegviidu boasts a scenic landscape: the "Estonian Switzerland" is the bestknown skiing centre in North Estonia. Eastern Virumaa is an important industrial area which has many mines and ash hills. The county also has virgin forests, pre glacial valleys, beautiful lakes, bogs and attractive beaches

Art Museum of Estonia

Art Museum of Estonia Art Museum of Estonia was founded on November 17th, 1919, but it was not until 1921 that it got its first permanent building ­ the Kadriorg Palace, built in the 18th century. In 1929 the palace was expropriated from the Art Museum in order to rebuild it as the residence of the President of Estonia. The Art Museum of Estonia was housed in several different temporary spaces, until it moved back to the palace in 1946. In September, 1991 the Kadriorg Palace was closed, because it had totally deteriorated by then. At the end of the year the Supreme Council of the Republic of Estonia decided to guarantee the construction of a new building for the Art Museum of Estonia in Kadriorg. Untill then the Knighthood House at Toompea Hill served as the temporary main building of the Art Museum of Estonia. The exhibition there was opened on April 1, 1993. Art Museum of Estonia premanently closed down the exhibitions in that building in October 2005. At the end of the 1970s, in

Great Britain

Now Britain has about 300 professional theatres. Some of them are privately owned. The tickets are not hard to get, but they are very expensive. Regular seasons of opera and ballet are given at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in London. The National Theatre stages modern and classi-cal plays, the Royal Shakespeare Company produces plays mainly by Shakespeare and his contemporaries when it performs in Stratford-on-Avon, and modern plays in its two auditoria in the City's Barbican Centre. Shakespeare's Globe Playhouse, about which you have probably read, was reconstructed on its original site. Many other cities and large towns have at least one theatre.

Topic – Australia

The site of Canberra was selected for the location of the nation's capital in 1908 as a compromise between Sydney and Melbourne, the two largest cities. It is unusual among Australian cities as an entirely purposebuilt, planned city. Following an international contest for the city's design, a design by Chicago architect Walter Burley Griffin was selected and construction commenced in 1913. The city's design was heavily influenced by the garden city movement and incorporates significant areas of natural vegetation that have earned Canberra the title "bush capital". Because of its latitude, elevation and distance from the coast, Canberra has four distinct seasons. The climates of most Australian coastal areas, which include all the state capital cities, are moderated by the sea. Canberra is home to many national monuments and institutions such as the Australian War

Prague(praha)

surprising, may think the city is overrated. Just relax, take a deep breath. While the city centre is a mélange of stunning architecture, from Gothic, Renaissance and baroque to neoclassical, art nouveau and cubist, beyond the medieval lanes of the Old Town and the Castle District, there's an entire other cosmopolitan city to explore. Search out the riverside parks, lively bars and beer gardens, music clubs, museums and art galleries. Harness Prague's excellent public-transport system to explore emerging suburbs such as Zizkov, Vinohrady, Smíchov and Holesovice. You'll be guaranteed cheaper prices, a more local ambience, and an assured escape from any more feelings of doubt.. Instead of summer practice i would like to go on trip to Prague. I think it would be more educational then sita t school and trantslate story or doing exercises. Because students
