  • Rich taught a class at Hudson Valley Community College on Sustainable Landscaping. The class was packed and so was the agenda! Rich has such a depth of knowledge but doesn’t take a rigid approach at all — rather, he wants to help each person play their own part in building a more sustainable environment for all. He gave us all a lot to think about. Looking forward to his next class.
