I am an official ornamental horticulturist. I still work in the field with gardening and landscaping. I get grieved at times because so many of people have no concept of proper landscape design, nor how to properly maintain such. I am influenced by the American Native Plant Movement., though I still like some Eurasian plants. I prefer naturalistic or informal landscaping. I also think Native Americans are cool. I created a Flickr site calle Landscape Maintenance Wiser also.
