In order to have a deep relationship with a place, we have to form relationships with the beings that live there... ...that includes the trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, animals, birds, and soil microbiome. With that understanding and knowledge we can try to have a net positive impact on the spaces we inhabit, Let's work together to bring more biodiversity and delicious food and medicine to your landscape. |

Scotty helped me walk my land and think about what trees to plant where, their spacings, varieties and sources. He was very knowledgeable about amendments & soil and helped me figure out where to send soil tests and how to interpret them. His knowledge on that subject is comprehensive. He also had a lot of good tips for the orchard, seasonal knowledge and ideas about cover crops and improving soil fertility naturally. He speaks from years of experience as well as personal passion. I trust him because he cares for the earth and cares about growing food and the land. ~Mica Sun, Barnardsville, NC |
Scotty has helped with a handful of land consultations as we've envisioned the future of our 4-acre mountainside family home. Dreaming up land possibilities with Scotty is a grounding and connective experience. With Scotty, I felt connected to the joy and beauty that is possible on our land. He has the tactical knowledge of native plant species and their ecosystem role and he has the emotional capacity to feel your family's life and needs playing out for the years to come. Scotty has a soft and humble approach and I always feel he's paying deep attention to the many facets of what's going on on our land. ~Thomas Doochin, Black Mountain |
