Since learning about NOFA's Organic Land Care Program, I have had the amazing opportunity to apply the principles of health, ecology, care and fairness in many aspects of my work. Whether it is managing public landscapes in Philadelphia, teaching a university urban ecology class,​ or in establishing my own practice, the ecological standards that NOFA upholds have been a valuable guide.

​During my first day of the Accreditation Course in Organic Land Care in New Haven, I ​quickly ​realized we needed to bring this training to Philadelphia. Fast forward to this year 2014 - I'm thrilled to be teaching the Site Analysis, Design and Management section at  ​the 2014 Mid-Atlantic Accreditation Course in Philadelphia!

Here is an example of a project which we recently completed at TEND.  In preparation for the ​installation of the new ​Market Street Dog Run, ​TEND specified the pruning of existing trees, aeration of soil, and incorporation of leaf mold into the trees' root zone month​s prior to construction.

We planted Ornamental grass, Sorghastrum nutans (Indian grass) at the Market Street Dog Run.
