In segment three Joey and Holly welcome their guest Karn Chapman of https://lejardinetdesigns.com/

Karen Chapman of Le Jardinet is a lifelong gardener. She is also an author, speaker, landscape designer, instructor, and writer. She has contributed to a number of gardening publications. As a horticulturist she helps others solve many of their garden problems.

3. When many people choose a focal point for a landscape design they choose to plant a tree or shrub, why is this often not the best idea and whats a better alternative?
