In this episode, Michael sits down with Wendy Proud, founder of Kinship League, to discuss why landscape maintenance is one of the most overlooked forces shaping the life of a landscape. Wendy shares how better crew education, smarter timing, and a deeper respect for how plants naturally grow can protect design intent long after installation. From overplanting and shallow irrigation to constant shearing and unnatural forms, Wendy makes the case for a more thoughtful approach to care, one rooted in stewardship, patience, and helping landscapes thrive over time.
