Landscape Gardens of CARE -
“Eco-sustainable spaces,” says Wright, “are not simply a result of lifestyle choices but reflect how we feel about the environment. While keeping it simple (as in simple living) is the name of the game, there is a more important underlying factor – a commitment to ultimate greening: providing for the present without sacrificing the future. So, in addition to plant sustainability, what makes pumpkin 'Hijinks Hybrid' different? It is a plant proven to flourish in multiple climate zones, recognized as a sustainable producer for the backyard gardener; and through its vibrant edible characteristics, recognized to inspire people to become people who CARE – have a perspective of conservation, accountability, recovery and eco-efficiency.”
Plants of Care, plant recognition program –
Whether an experienced landscape professional or novice homeowner, Wright’s advocacy challenges all to not simple identify plants that survive but thrive; and then, create landscapes from a sustainable point of view, seeking to reduce their carbon footprint as well as feed their families pesticide free produce. “For,” says Wright, “any style landscape should not simply reflect traditional design concepts but be a result of the right plant, installed in the right place at the right (optimal) planting season - creating a legacy of green, healthier urban/suburban communities. The challenge is to create landscapes from a 'waste not, and want not' eco logical commitment: become caretakers for the environmental community.”
A hands-on landscape gardener who participates in nation-wide regional plant testing, Wright gain familiarity with programs such as the "Southern Living Plant Collection," "Proven Winners," "Plants that Work" and many more. Still, while plant material proven to enable landscape gardens of CARE could be identified by any one of these programs, it is spotlighted by Wright for its ability to inspire people to CARE – have an eco connection of conservation, accountability, recovery and eco-efficiency.
To ongoing encourage all to "dig in the dirt," a "plants of CARE" plant is recognized quarterly.
