Announcing a new blog! Toby and I would like to keep Taking Place a site for conversation on landscape architectural issues, and it has become clear that my woody plant posts could overwhelm this blog in way we hadn’t planned. So I’ve just started another blog, a sister to this one, called Taking Place In The Trees (www.takingplaceinthetrees.net). It’s focused on woody plant issues, and my aim is to talk about and show good photos of trees, shrubs, and innovations in their planting and care.
I began to post on it last month, with a couple of posts you may have read here. At this point, though, I’m officially launching Taking Place In The Trees as part of the Taking Place family, with posts you may not see here. I’m hoping to be able to duplicate my earlier woody plant posts from this blog on it, to get them all in one place; in the meantime, to see all those posts, click on the ‘Plants’ in the Categories section on the right side of this page, and they’ll all pop up for your reading pleasure.
I’m looking forward to showcasing and discussing more plant topics on Taking Place In The Trees, and to continuing the landscape architecture conversation that Toby and I have going on Taking Place. I hope you continue to visit both sites, and enjoy them!
Nature/culture -- the familiar combo.

That’s the thing … a good conversation can often lead away from the theme. Good idea to start a new branch, if you’ll forgive the play on words.
