I haven't listened yet. Waiting for the right time and place. But, if I were thinking about what plants to include these come to mind first. The Banyan tree and the Monkey Pod tree. (a.k.a, Go Dog Go Tree) I have seen the Banyans that are in Maui and Ft Myers. They are so magnificent. The Monkey Pod tree looks like those trees you see in the Go Dog Go book written by P.D. Eastman. The first thing I thought when I saw the Monkey Pod was "Hey, that is the Go Dog Go Tree".

I am also a sucker for Indiana spring ephemerals, Dogwoods and Red buds growing beside each other so that in the Spring you experience a beautiful combo of amazing texture with white and pink blooms, giant ferns, and fairy rings. I need to stop.

Ooo—good inclusions. P.D. Eastman instilled a similar affinity in both me and my kids. :) That combination of dogwood and redbud—perfect. And fairy rings! Kind of wish I could go back and throw those in.
