"My hope for what lies ahead in the field of landscape design is not a revolution against the use of non-natives, but a resolution to educate ourselves about what has worked for Mother Nature through the ebb and flow of time, and to put that knowledge to work in the planned landscapes that are everywhere a part of our lives."
- Lady Bird Johnson, 1912-2007
