I am now focusing inward with a push towards bringing "sanctuary" indoors. I am now offering the service of helping people improve their homes through indoor/outdoor gardens, decorating with objects such as architectural antiques, cleaning, organization and modifications. The object is to create peace, tranquility and self sustenance in the home. I will still be offering environmental restoration and native tree planting. I would like to reach a wider audience by catering directly to home owners.

Great Season!

Here are some small trees coming up amidst dense canary grass. Eventually these cottonwoods, black willows and various species of native trees that were planted will shade out some of the aggressive canary grass. This area is along Otter Creek in Vermont.

Spring in Vermont

Nicaraguan vivero

2008-12-24T09:59:00.000-08:00

Here are some Nicaraguan mahogany trees growing in my little vivero in Pearl lagoon Nicragua. I have about 500 of them and ive allready sold most of them in advance to a guy who lives on a peninusala surrounding the lagoon. I got the seeds last year from some big old trees in a park in Bluefield.
I also have some native Cacoa and Nicaraguan Oak. I would like to grow the Mahogany and the Cacoa together like i saw at an agroforestry research facility up near Pueblo Nuevo.
