Things are HOPPING!
And I'm not just talking about the rabbit that lives in my herb garden :)
We are working on several projects from rain gardens, back yard retreats and patio rebuilds with functional plant design. Multiple jobs at once is pretty rare for Abundant Design, but the weather has been good and material scheduling and available help has worked out well. I'm energized by people excited for new functional landscapes, healthier lifestyles and the benefits of natural settings.
I also treated my own lawn with predatory nematodes as a chemical-free way to help control Japanese Beetles
September is Preparedness Month, which is a big deal with hurricanes and wildfires in the news, and although not really tornado season, we live in an area prone to them. Besides, winter is approaching and several years ago, although not too far off the beaten path my mom and dad were out of electricity for over a week following a blizzard!
