A very cool project: a company called Biocarbon Engineering has received seed funding to plant 1 billion trees every year, and they’re doing it with drones.

“She does awesome work! A great eye for design, as well as a strong, quick, and efficient green thumb.” – Matthew McCune, Portland, OR.

"My husband and I did a search over the internet for landscape designers. We were specifically looking to do an ecological plan so we could grow food at home and have some easy to care for play space for our young daughter. I feel like we found the right designer in a sea of them. Jadene listened to our issues, and it showed because we just love our new patio in our new orchard! Eco-Logic is a jewel." – Kaylie S., Eugene, OR.

“Jadene has a wonderful eye for detail and her experience with the diversity and inter-connections inherent in Permaculture design was really helpful in increasing my understanding of how and why Permaculture matters. I love that she added in some Feng Shui insights too.” – Kim Smith, Portland, OR.

"I am incredulous. My property looks more gorgeous than the plan, which was beautiful. I wasn't sure how it was going to translate, but I stuck to the plan, and I watered like the company advised. I have also been careful during this first year, because I had my friends over for the Fourth. The plants all look really healthy, though, and I've been checking my soil under them, which is darker than the dust I had before. According to the designer's recommendations, I used only thick mulch and organic starter when planting. It's amazing! There are beetles, earthworms, and those flies that behave like helicopters, plus honey bees, which I thought were in decline but seem to be just fine in my yard. I also had too much food, so I gave some berries and collards to my neighbors, and we've actually been able to become friends by talking about our gardens. I like that a lot because I was having trouble meeting people here after moving from upstate New York last year. Permaculture was something I didn't know about when I hired Eco-Logic, but I'm glad I took the plunge with green design. I'm feeling more empowered every day, and I didn't need to water much this summer!" – Patrick K., Lake Oswego, OR.
