A Little About Us

Chris Field

Chris is a full time professional hoticulturalist and avid organic gardener who saw a challenge upon buying his home – three quarters of the backyard was asphalt — “Great house for car lovers!” as it was described in the local real estate listing. He transformed his backyard into lawn, plants, a vegetable garden and trees, feeling great satisfaction in reversing the Joni Mitchell song.

With much of his time devoted to working with local environmental groups, Chris applies his philosophy to his house and home, using only organic lawn and garden care practices. Married to an Italian, his garden bursts with tomatoes every year, leaving little room for jalapenos and other hot peppers.
