Amy founded Green Edens Horticultural Services in 2011 after studying horticulture at the College of Lake County. She is a Master Gardener through the University of Illinois and specializes in sustainable landscaping and design. She also founded the Garden2Table program at Ridgeville Park District in Evanston in 2012. Amy has long been interested in holistic healing modalities and wholeheartedly believes that healing can be derived from many different avenues, including engaging with nature. Amy feels strongly that the health of mankind and the health of the earth are inseparable, and restoring the natural balance of the environment using native plants is at the core of her design philosophy.

Mario's life-long love for nature has led him to follow in his parents footsteps into a career in landscaping. In addition to running his own maintenance company, Mario oversees all of the installations for Green Edens. With an eye for design and extensive experience in proper planting techniques and plant care, Mario and his team carefully install every tree, shrub and plant and follow-up to ensure that every new garden installation is rooting well and on its way to thriving.
