Patterns for Abundance brings a broad range of experience to guide you through the process of creating abundant, polycultural systems full of food and income, for your family or community. By applying fundamental ecological principles and careful attention we work to reveal, reevaluate, map, list, measure and magnify the abundance already present or potential in your landscape or bioregion. We can also identify the "leaks" (of energy, money$, water, species, or nutrients) in your system and suggest essential "repairs" necessary to plug them. We consult and design for projects of all scales including the following: Residential Landscapes Edible Landscapes Commercial Developments Farm Design Nursery Design Co-Housing Projects / Ecovillages Public Projects and Schools Decorative & Storage Ponds of all sizes Waterfalls, Fountains and Water Elements Stone Masonry and Hardscapes Drainage Management Erosion Control / Gulley Restoration & Mgmt. Rainwater Harvesting and Storage (see our ferrocement tank pictures here) Replicated Wetlands / Grey Water Systems and Bio-remediation Aquaculture Creek or Watershed Restoration Alternative Construction: Strawbale; Clay / Straw; Cob (Earth) Cob Ovens and Garden Walls Gardens / Food and Resource Production Orchard Design and Management Soil Management and Improvement Integrated Animal Management Animal Tractoring and Rotation Integrated Pest Management Agroforestry Silvipasture Windbreaks Forest Management Fire Prevention

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.
Garden nurseries offer many plants to make your home and garden flourish. In-container plants are one option, including perennials, annuals, and small shrubs or trees. Large hedge plants and roses are called bare-root plants, meaning they have not been potted. Finally, you will see some burlapped plants, typically larger trees and shrubs with burlap wrapping around the bottom.
The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.
If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.
While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:
Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season.
Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring.
Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.
Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location
Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.
