Grounds For Growth~sustainable Landscapes

My interest in sustainable landscape design grows out of a life of art, gardening, and the politics of social justice. As a child and young adult my second home was Circle Pines Center, a 360 acre cooperative and summer camp in Michigan. Summers were spent on work projects including building roads and cabins, learning a wide variety of arts taught by professional artists, caring for the huge organic vegetable garden that fed us, and playing our hearts out. Environmentalists shared their enthusiasm for the land and taught us how to care for the huge pine groves.
