For Linda, and others who, like me, enjoyed the poem she posted – “Something Told the Wild Geese” is by American poet Rachel Field (1894-1942). She was also a novelist and Newberry Award winning children’s writer.

The lines Linda posted are the entire poem. Oh, and it was set to music at one point.

Thought you might be interested.

My suggestion is to call a landscape architect and find out how much a consultation would cost. My daughter in law who is a fabulous architect by trade (Fivecatstudio.com) is a beginner gardner. She hired a landscape architect to come to her home with a giant hillside and give her some ideas. She followed him around with a clip board last spring and her garden is now on the way to being outstanding.
