I'm no arborist so maybe I'm speaking out my rear end, but having a limited understanding of landscape planning, I have noticed trees being planted very close together in a few public and private spaces around the city. When they're small it's okay, sure, but they'll definitely compete as they grow. Is there a reason for doing this or is this just poor planning?

Also not an arborist but I have heard that trees growing up in competition with each other can aid in them developing much better than if not.

I think it’s also so that if some die it won’t have as big an effect than if there were fewer trees. That’s purely a guess though

Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre focuses on community as it reinvents itself

The Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre appears to have escaped the closures and empty storefronts that plague many urban malls by focusing on specialty stores and building a community, through vendors like the Night of Artists Gallery and its yearly art walk and gala.
