Green Pony Garden
Being part of the "Green Revolution" should be more than an aspiration. It is a holistic approach to gardening that every person, you and I, can be part of with little effort and cost. I have spent a lifetime creating gardens and landscapes  all along the East Coast - from Upstate New York to the Piedmont of North Carolina. For the last 30 years I have put ecological practices to work creating a working farm and gardens, without the use of pesticides and petro-chemicals, in the Chapel Hill, Durham, and central NC areas.
Organic gardening is not a new idea. A holistic approach to working with the earth is shown in many poets' and philosophers' writings. Virgil in "The Georgics, Book II" says "... but yet rotation lightens the labor; scorn not to soak the dry soil with fattening dung, nor to scatter grimy ashesover the exhausted lands." I focus on "Genii Loci" - The Spirit of the Place. Your garden should be part of the world around you and bring joy in each season.
As one modern-day ecological visionary, Buckminster Fuller put it, when working with our environment we should "make livingry, not weaponry." Contact me and I can help you plan, create and maintain landscapes that respect the spirit of your space (seasons, soil and climate), while bringing pleasure year-round. As first lady and beloved naturalist Lady Byrd Johnson said together we can "plant a shrub, plant a tree, beautify America.
