Hello All,

I'm working with farmers who grow hops, wine grapes, blueberries, nut trees 
and/or grains.  Many of these sites (between 100-500 acres) are mono-cropped 
or have minimal biodiversity. For farmers' ease of use, I'm creating 
templates introducing islands of diverse species, or beneficial insect 
attracting plant oasis's, for temperate and arid environments. The templates 
can be for a multitude of crop types.

If anyone on this list works within these or similar parameters, I'd 
appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks!
