BEGIN LANDSCAPE WITH ITS END

Studying old landscapes abroad it's obvious what survives. Trees. Tree design: canopy, understory, weeping, horizontal, pyramidal, evergreen, deciduous, conifer, variegated, burgundy, green, waxy, pubescent, peeling bark, colorful bark, single trunk, multi-trunk, spring bloom, summer bloom, fall bloom, fall foliage, fragrant, butterfly host, bird host, shade house, buffer winter winds, increase property value.

I took the pic above about 2 weeks ago in North Georgia in MR. JIM'S garden. He's hired me to write about his garden. It will open to the public in 2 years and I want you to start planning your trip.

For now, what about the trees in your landscape?

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
