“Kudos to Shawn Maestretti for his enthusiastic and skillful presentation of an emerging paradigm for urban gardens. This paradigm frames the global causes and impacts associated with climate change and describes actions that can be applied locally in gardens and landscapes of all sizes to address these causes and impacts. The re-generation of gardens embraces carbon sequestration, heat island cooling, climate adapted plants, rainwater harvesting, habitat enhancement and a vision for gardens of the future.”
Robert Perry, FASLA, Author ofLandscape Plants for California Gardens

He will leave your audience feeling more eco-conscious, non-judgmentally, and in a way which empowers people to shift their behaviors.”
