EARTHLY SITES

I've always loved plants and gardening. I started this journey as a child under the wing of my Mother. I finished my initial college experience ('85) with a minor in Botany in spite of "my real major", Computer Science. As I entered my adult life with my own space, I grew things wherever I could. Computer Science labs entertained me for only so long. I returned to school to study Ecology and Marine Science, but continued learning more about Horticulture, Design and Landscape Architecture. I then realized that being in the garden soothed my soul like nothing else. I also disliked the separation of Science from community. I wanted to integrate my love of the Earth with real life, and my passion with my career. Earthly Sites opened in 2003. I bring a melange of perspectives and skills to my work, but my focus is clearly about human beings being in Nature.
