HGTV is looking for SF Bay Yards to Landscape

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 18:31:13 GMT

On a budget and looking for help redesigning your backyard?

Landscape Smart is looking for diverse homeowners in the San Francisco Bay area who want to get their hands dirty redesigning their backyard. You'll get to work with one of our fabulous designers and our talented, reliable contractors who will help you create a great new yard -- all on a reasonable budget.

We are all about Smart Ideas that can save you time, money and effort on your landscape project. We can help you save a bundle on a design that might cost you much more. Our projects are primarily soft-scaping and do not include building decks, fences, pools or pouring concrete. Check out some of our shows at HGTV.com to get an idea of the types of projects we cover.

You will need to commit to two full weekdays working on your yard in front of our cameras, plus three other half-days for planning meetings and ancillary photography. You should also be looking to spend about $7000 on your project. We provide a number of resources, including a really hip professional designer, part of the cost of materials and a project that actually gets finished in two days.

Ideal candidates for Landscape Smart are homeowner couples who are outgoing, energetic, equally excited to be on TV, like to work, are open-minded and not cost-conscious beyond reason. Ideal yards are flat, around 30’x30’ and do not require more than one day of concrete removal. Interested? E-mail us at: landscapesmartsf@edelmanproductions.com.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Ke Kulana He Mahu: Remembering A Sense Of Place

Directed by Kathryn Xian & Brent Anbe

San Francisco LGBT Community Center
1800 Market Street @ Octavia
Please arrive early as seating is limited!

Co-presented by Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, APIQWTC, Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits, and United Territories of Polynesian Islanders Alliance.

This phenomenal documentary explores the lives of the Kanaka Maoli--Hawaii's indigenous people--and celebrates their ancient customs of unconditional
love and solidarity among the Mahu, transgender community members viewed with great respect at sacred healers. This spirit of aloha (love) lives on
in the drag queens and activists working to perpetuate Hawaii's traditions of acceptance and abundance for all.

With generous support from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences & the National Endowment for the Arts, Frameline proudly presents admission-free screenings at the San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center at 7:30pm on the second Thursday of every month throughout 2005.
