This is an overview of garden and corresponding house styles in America from the 1600’s until the present. It considers how world view and a perception of “Nature” affects landscape design. Over time the fear of the wild turned to a desire to tame it and now to preserve it.
Converting high-input agricultural land from conventional crop production to prairie vegetation requires careful planning and timely execution. This ongoing research is examining commercial mycorrhizal inoculants used for soil regeneration within a suboptimal restoration area. The primary goal of this study is to quantify plant biological responses to various blends of mycorrhizal fungi applied at specific quantities while seeding plots.
