I like to landscape. I like the process of designing a plan with the right flow of flowering shrubs, varying colors, patterns, textures. I have learned to let the really smart people at the nursery help me to design things, too. But here's one of the big lessons-- when setting up a new bed for flowers, shrubs and trees, I learned the smart move is to create an environment where everything gains nourishment and water-- and with minimal weeds! Here in the Florida panhandle, regular watering is vital- so my beds always include vinyl tubing with low volume spray heads that put the needed water right where it's needed. And the entire bed has been fully enriched, too. And protected with landscaping fabric and a deep layer of mulch. Does that apply to the teams that we lead and develop? You bet! We give them an environment where it's obvious that we care. We give them the tools they need, and help them to grow. Lots of water, sunshine, good soil and protection from things that could get in their way. Because happy, healthy and productive people make for happy, healthy and productive teams.
