I’ve been wanting to say something about the inspired landscaper at a building in Boston. His vision is so different from that of most people responsible for office or apartment building plantings. You know what I mean: “It’s fall. Time to line up a row of yellow chrysanthemums. No, let’s do something creative this year and alternate them with maroon chrysanthemums. Just a foot apart.”
Plunk.
In contrast, landscaper Paul tells a story, writes a poem with his design, thinking about the changing seasons far ahead. Birds love him.

Inspired landscaping is poetry in motion at its best.
I’ve seen pictures of your Maine landscaping, and I think it qualifies.
Oh, that’s cool–the poem and the landscaping!
Thanks. More like a list of words than a poem, but I did want to express that the landscaping was not just “plunk,”
