Welcome
I’m at work on my next book about Aging in Place in Your Landscape, and building on questions I’ve heard while lecturing on Timeless Landscape Design.
95% of Homeowners who are now 60-65 will stay on their property rather than move to a retirement community.
So why not customize your landscape to fit long term needs? Harvest water, utilize solar and alternative energy forms, grow vegetables, compost, create a retreat for regeneration or do active forms of recreation like pilates and yoga all seamless designed within your existing landscape.
Baby boomers, this is the place for you!
