Brad Lancaster has some nice videos on this topic on YouTube. https://youtu.be/pdm9bwrgBHw?si=9ZZ0-GllQVS802Cy Other amazing info on rain harvesting, greywater, native plants (esp edible), other env topics.
Dr. Kimmerer, what tree varieties would you recommend for shading a playground located in an exposed parking lot? There were two old hackberry trees that broke in high winds and were removed (bummer). Now that their ample shade is missing the heat is really scorching the turf on the playground...and the kids. My wife runs a preschool in Nashville. Asking for her.
Plant anything, but pay attention to the soil! We plant and then forget. We plant individual trees, forgetting the web of fungi, underground, that feeds and nourishes them. The Miyawaki method increases success rate, brings back biodiversity and grow faster. We also recommend inoculated biochar to help with nourishment and water retention.

Excellent! I know that tree. Thank you. I hope she can locate one or more through the preschool parent who has offered to help.
