Meet some of our ELA Members
Nathan Lamb, Nathan Lamb Gardening + Ecology
I’m interested in the intersection of horticulture and ecology, and I work to combine what I’ve learned from 12 years of work and study in both disciplines to create beautiful landscapes that support wildlife and humans while eliminating the need for herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, and excessive irrigation. I’m available for one-on-one garden coaching, either in person or virtually, to help aspiring gardeners get their hands dirty. I also offer full garden design services, project management, and ongoing garden care.
