For Lisa Mercer, the richest horizons are found underground, in soil profiles that support her vision for a curated native garden. It s one of the reasons why a tree can thrive in one backyard but remain stunted in another. When a developer cuts a site ready to build a home, they cut into the soil s horizons and you end up planting in soil that would never normally support plants, almost to the bedrock, the Queensland landscape architect said.
