INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
In this episode of Land Language, we sit down with Jacob Holmstead, founder of Samsara Tree Care in Portland, Oregon. Jacob walks through what he reads on a client's property, why most chemical intervention traces back to a planting decision made decades ago, and what it takes to pass real knowledge to a homeowner in the fifteen minutes a quote allows.
