“The Knowledge is Given to the Crane from Above”

My Elevator Speech

. . . My hope is to use this site to spread some info about the art and practice of Landscape Design. It is a very misunderstood profession. I do not cut grass like the next door neighbor's cousin who carries 3 mowers and a blower in the back of his truck. I will also pass along comments on industry happenings, events, etc., and maybe a few other thoughts, musings, ramblings and adventures going on in my world. After all this is "my" blog. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Questions? Drop me an e-mail. wcicrane (at) gmail (dot) com
