NCSU students helped develop a landscaping plan for TS Designs
Tom has been working with 19 students from Professor Will Hooker's Permaculture Design Studio class at NCSU to develop a landscaping plan for TS Designs. This plan will include a conversion of our landscape to more edible plants like nut and fruit trees, berries, grapes, etc. So far we have built 3 trellises and planted pecan trees, magnolia, choctaw, pawnee, kiwi, and much more. In the photo above, the students are hanging up their designs to be critiqued. Stay tuned for updates on how everything is growing.

Go Pack!
Love the idea of trees with consumable fruits… but are kiwi trees and the like native, or at least, going to fare as well as native varieties?
Nonetheless, VERY cool idea!

The kiwi was recommended by Will Hooker and the NCSU horticulture
students. I bought them at Edible Landscaping in Virginia.
