SPEAKER • FLORIDA NATURE EDUCATOR
Connecting people with the Florida growing right outside their door.

meaningful when people understandtheir place within it.

Native Landscape Consulting
Good projects start with the right connections.

FROM MY FLORIDA GARDEN
The garden
is where the lessons become real.
What survives the heat. Which flower a bee chooses. How a plant recovers after heavy rain. My garden keeps my programs practical, personal, and rooted in observation.
