SUMMARY:Webinar: Proper Planting Practices: Are We Landscaping in a Deficit Model?
DESCRIPTION:In the Nursery and Landscape Industry\, there is an overabundance of clouded misinformation that is passed down to the general public on how to design and maintain their landscape. From every direction\, inaccurate or antiquated information flows. From big box stores and local Mom and Pop nurseries to examples\, images\, and text on the internet. \nThere are visual examples that exist everywhere of ill-managed landscapes in both commercial properties and private residences. \nThere are significant differences in training and quality between companies that offer services based on best practices. So how do we improve our company standards or how do you\, as a consumer\, know if you’re getting the best quality for your money? \nIn this presentation\, Richard McCoy will provide information on current techniques of proper planting\, how to correct unseen issues that are borne in the landscape nursery\, the importance of the plant root collar\, plant placement by matching site conditions to a plant’s cultural needs\, and how these efforts add value vs. “cheap’ alternatives. \nDiscussion points:\n• Are We Landscaping in a Deficit Model?\n• The Root (collar) of the problem\n• Right Plant – Right Place\n• Proper Planting B&B and Container plants\n• Value vs. Cheap – You get what you pay for \nRichard McCoy has over 30-years’ experience in the green industry.
