Wow, I wasn't anticipating such a quick reply! Thank you!
I purchased a couple of reliable books on plant identification and such. I would say I'm really quite good at identifying ornamental plants, especially because of working at a greenhouse where I needed to go out into the field and bring specific varieties out for restock. I deal with popular varieties of trees and shrubs working in a garden center but I could use some more work on identifying other tree varieties though. Thanks!
And I feel like psychology and gardening go hand in hand. It would be interesting to form a therapeutic gardening program, much like some of the wilderness and agricultural rehabilitation centers out there. I would love to speak to your neighbor about his experience, I live in Ferndale and I haven't met any professional landscape designers but I see how prominent the service is especially around me in the pleasant ridge area. Thank you for the support.
