So true-- and the three of us are recognizing the value of your talent! My uncle (he is now 81) used to be a school teacher, got laid off in the 90's and started a window replacement business and then became a general contractor. He is a millionaire now. He hired me one summer when I was in college. I didn't know s--- about anything. The teacher heart definitely showed up in our interactions and it healed a lot of trauma for me. All that to say, I hope you do this full-time! Read up on Landscape artists like Piet Oudolf's New Perennial movement. His work is internationally known. Entomologist Doug Tallamy and his movement with native plants/ Home Grown National Park. There is an art (which i think you have an intuitive talent for) to setting boulders, and this book offer's insight into how. It is one of my favorite on my shelf: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1580170927?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_23
