Our Mission
Our mission is to educate and teach the virtues and principles of organic gardening and landscaping.
What
is Organic Landscaping? Organic land care develops an attractive, safe, and useful landscape using proper methods and materials
chosen to respect the natural ecology of the land and the long- term health of the environment. In an organic landscape maintenance
no synthetic pesticides or synthetic fertilizers are used. Source, N.O.F.A

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 five years into business I have developed a strong foundation and relationship with hundreds
of customers.
During the last seven 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.
