Planting

It is common for the planting of the landscaping to be the very last thing that is done before completing a project. It makes sense for most projects, for it lessens the chance of damage from heavy construction equipment. This week we decided to do the planting at the front of the Hazelnut Inn. Many passers by were excited for this signalled the completion of the project based on conventional wisdom. But our logic is different than most. While Hazelnut Inn already looks very good from the road, it is still very much a work in progress - especially the interior. By planting now we could purchase smaller plants this far from opening and allow them to flourish over the next year. By that time everything we have planted will have taken root, the climbing vines will be firmly established and the landscaping will look exactly as it should - when we open.
