Note: Buildings are “certified”, people are “accredited” – a possible question on the test according to a USGBC study group I went to. I am taking the test in December.

So interested in constructed wetlands as a ecological system and a landscape element. Any with experience care to share? Finally, any opinion as to its feasibility in arid-desert locations (MTE’s or more severe climes)?

Check out Jason’s review on Patrick Blanc’s new book The Vertical Garden.

Something that moves people, makes them stop and think “I wish I could do that, But even though I can’t… I am glad some one did it for me.”

Hello everyone!
