Natural and managed landscapes are all connected. Lawn & Landscape Magazine’s latest article highlights how Bland Landscaping Company and Burkett Farm have teamed up to be stewards of sustainable agriculture and sustainable landscape management for more than a decade.
“About 13 years ago, one of our clients asked us to take care of a private estate that they owned,” Bland says. “It used to be a farm, and they wanted us to start farming it. So, we started farming the land for them and donating all of the food. Our staff runs it for them. They then said that we should build an education center out here.
“This teaching facility is made out of shipping containers,” he adds. “It is truly a world-class, one-of-a-kind place. Its sole purpose is to promote sustainability, agriculture and horticulture.”
