About Me

My Background 

Experience

I offer a wealth of knowledge and a vast skillset developed over 40 years of working in horticulture and turf management. I bring the experience of working with both the industrial Green Revolution methods and a shift to following Regenerative methods and allowing the natural system to work with my assistance rather than control. This paradigm shift over the past 10 years comes with proven results of a systems approach.

How I Do It

We must begin by teaching oneself to see the natural system as a whole, a dynamic ever evolving system. To become a player within that system, not a controller. Realizing we are just a contributing factor working in a symbiotic relationship with many other organisms. Our position will be one of educating and coaching others to connect with and learn from nature in an encouraging and shared journey. We will transform turf/plant systems such that it aligns with regenerative principles and natural patterns

What's in It for You

  • lower costs and healthier soil and resilient plants

  • reduced synthetic inputs = Environmental Stewardship

  • reduction/elimination of weeds, insect damage and disease occurrence 

  • increased water infiltration and moisture holding = lower water use

  • healthy soil building while degrading organic material into humus along with nutrient cycling, water and carbon cycling that produce healthy controlled growth

  • DOING WHAT'S RIGHT FOR NATURE!
