J Gil Organic

I received an AAS in Horticulture from the Essex Agricultural School in 2004. I became an accredited Organic Land Care profesional from the North East Organic Farming Association (NOFA) in early 2007 and a certified lawn care professional by the Grassroots Environmental Healthy Lawn Program in early 2006. I am Maugett certified, a member of the Ecological Landscaping Association (ELA), and an E.P.A. GreenScapes Alliance member. With just twelve years into business I have developed a strong foundation and relationship with hundreds of customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and now in Northern Missouri and southern Illinois. During the last twelve years I have gained a great amount of experience, and I have trained and educated myself in the organic approach to landscaping. Organic landscaping and organic lawn care requires an understanding of natural systems. I incorporate this knowledge in landscape design, construction, and maintenance, and I am proud to say that my landscaping and lawn care is organic. I differ from a conventional landscaper through the research, techniques, and products used while managing the soil, plant life, and landscape. I am currently involved in different associations and committees, and I am actively teaching organic and ecological gardening. I believe that the key to bringing positive change in our environment is the cultivation of broad-based public support through education.
