Happy winter solstice! From now on the days are only getting longer. 🌞⁠

This fall, @edwinavongal, Perfect Earth’s founde

This fall, @edwinavongal, Perfect Earth’s founder, raised a call to action to all gardeners and landscape professionals to commit to making and caring for gardens that will heal and not harm the Earth. With the realities of a biodiversity emergency and climate crisis upon us, gardeners and landscape professionals can be powerful agents of change. So, we wanted to talk with gardeners and landscape professionals to learn more about what we call their “PRFCT ground rules,” the sustainability ethos guiding their work.

We chatted with garden designer @lindseydtaylor of Lindsey Taylor Design to find out the ground rules that guide her practice. “I want a garden that is alive and can breathe, move, and do what it wants to do,” she says.

See the link below to read our latest story with @gardenista_sourcebook and learn how Lindsey starts a new project, why we should redefine beauty, and what shrubs she can’t get enough of. https://perfectearthproject.org/prfct-ground-rules-with-lindsey-taylor/

We can't wait for Edwina's talk at Plant-o-rama 20

We can't wait for Edwina's talk at Plant-o-rama 2025. She is calling for collective ecological action in the face of our fragile future. If all garden design and land care professionals made a solid commitment to harm-free practices, the benefits could be considerable. What could it look like? Literally, figuratively, ecologically. Why wouldn’t we?⁠
