This is wonderful and so informative. Thank you for making CCA look wild and beautiful- or it will..so much more interesting than plain grass! And the orchard is also amazing. Love that you are teaching the students all about "wilding"!
My pleasure! And there are certainly ways of offsetting some of the less pleasant aspects of that wildness. Mainly, the trick is to contrast more informal elements with formal ones. For instance, the little flower patch near the USLR entrance would not look nearly as good if it weren't right next to the fence we made: a straight line balancing a curving one. For the orchard, I'm hoping to have a pine fence put in sometime soon. That would give the whole thing a pleasing sense of contrast even before the fruit trees get tall.

How interesting to contrast informal and formal elements and different contrasting lines.
What do you mean by a pine fence- a split rail fence made of pine or pine trees?
Split rail. A fence of pine trees would get 50’ tall! That would be a little too much of a contrast.
Yes, I agree!
