Lecture summary
Julie is the Project Director for the AFOPADI reforesting project in Guatemala, she is also a local landscape designer, and is the past president of Midwest Ecological Landscaping Association.
“FINE GARDENING magazine describes Julie as having combined her background in dance, animation, architecture and writing with her love of plants to create gardens that are full of energy and speak to the larger regional aesthetics. Being raised by a photographer and a painter guaranteed Julie’s creative sensibility. Her decades of teaching and public speaking developed strong communication skills and independent thought. Julie’s involvement with various community, environmental, and social projects links her professional activity with her humanitarian beliefs.”
