One of the things the Arborist said was that it was absolutely necessary to have a Master Plan. And then he said some other things that completely deconstructed my original Master Plans, such as the little oak over there in the front garden would get to be at least 100 feet across in a decade or three. Not the place to site rotational beds.
I think I need to talk to some Permaculturists, some Landscape Designers, and other folks I don’t even know the name of yet. If you know of anyone, please point me in their direction, or them in mine?
Fun Fact: I think I might be able to lure them into a tour and a bouncing-ideas session with dinner. I’m a pretty good cook.
You could always look into your local or a nearby botanical garden for some answers and more insight.
