A large number of credits under the Sustainable Sites Initiative pertain to vegetation. Check out my latest article “Green Math” in Landscape Architecture Magazine to find out what you should know to earn as many as possible.

Land8 online has invited me to provide a free webinar on sustainable sites, small scale sites and residential landscapes on November 7th. What type of information you would find most useful?

I am all for sustainability, but we can still need to make it blend into  the enviroment …………………………………..Dome What dome

Does anyone have a good source for cost information on the difference between a regular streetscape and one that incorporates bioretention? Thanks

OK- let’s save the world!  Glad to be among the initiated here…
