I received an AAS in Horticulture from the Essex Agricultural School in 2004.
I became an accredited Organic Land Care profesional from the North East Organic Farming Association (NOFA) in early 2007 and a certified lawn care professional by the Grassroots Environmental Healthy Lawn Program in early 2006. I am Maugett certified, a member of the Ecological Landscaping Association (ELA), and an E.P.A. GreenScapes Alliance member.

With just three years into business I have developed a strong foundation and relationship with hundreds of customers. During the last six years I have gained a great amount of experience, and I have trained and educated myself in the organic approach to landscaping. Organic landscaping requires an understanding of natural systems. I incorporate this knowledge in landscape design, construction, and maintenance, and I am proud to say that my landscaping is organic. I differ from a conventional landscaper through the research, techniques, and products used while managing the soil, plant life, and landscape.
I am currently involved in different associations and committees, and I am actively teaching organic and ecological gardening. I believe that the key to bringing positive and lasting change in our environment is the cultivation of broad-based public support through education.
