Hello World!

As a landscape architect, I'm inspired by ecological processes and the pure beauty of living creatures. My mission is to reinvigorate landscape architecture by embracing creative design solutions that are environmentally sound.  

As public and political support grows for changing our environmental awareness, there is so much potential for designers to have a positive and useful effect on the world.  I enjoy working with the public because it offers an opportunity to shape people's perceptions and consciousness of nature and the built environment. I realize this sounds a bit idealistic but it is certainly worth the challenge.  

Like many other people, I have recently been laid-off which is a blessing in disguise. Even though I lack experience as a landscape architect, now is my chance to broaden my canvas by developing a range of activities so that I cannot be forced into a corner and left to dry.

I am excited and relieved that Ask Nature exists and would like to be more involved, if anyone has any comments or suggestions, please feel free to connect with me.  I am Jennifer Cross: optimist, existentialist and supporter.
