Plants Inside our Workplaces

May 21, 2009 By: Jacqueline Smith Category: Corporate Green, Garden /Plants, Global Understanding, Green Art, Green Building No Comments →

We have a new company doing our landscaping in our work building. It looks better, and I really like their focus, they understand that they can increase the well being and happiness of workers with carefully selected plants.  By paying attention to the plants they use, fertilizer and spraying is kept to a minimum and natural methods are used to eradicate pests such as, double sided yellow sticky paper for gnats.

Congratulations Ambius, we are looking forward to the changes you are making. They have a great web site and  plant tips, but would like to make a special note of the page on green building, materials, landscaping.

Casting for Recovery

I met an amazing woman last weekend, and she told me about an Inspiring group. Casting for Recovery is a non-profit support and education program for women who have or survived breast cancer. They offer week end retreats that center around Fly Fishing.

Why Fly Fishing? It is a beautiful way to get outside, enjoy the quiet, participate in gentle exercise and its something new and different for many women. Each participant learns many new skills in this catch and release fishing. Take a look at their site, and please share the information that there is another bright light in our world, a group that is ready to support women in this struggle. Casting for Recovery  provides retreats at no cost with trained facilitators on each trip.
