Ken Foster, owner of Santa Cruz's Terra Nova Ecological Landscaping, believes in the gentle approach to landscaping. That is the gardening technique of working with the earth instead of against it. Terra Nova never uses pesticides or herbicides, but instead utilizes a variety of biological controls and organic methods to keep a garden pest-free, without the help of harsh chemicals. When possible, Ken¿s employees ride bicycles attached with trailers carrying supplies to make their maintenance runs and use hand tools instead of noisy air polluting power devices to diminish the company's carbon footprint. Terra Nova's ecological innovation was recognized in 2004, when it won Sunset magazine's Western Living Award gold medal for experimental building. The companies is a design/ build/ maintain firm specializing in sustainability, organics, Permaculture, drought tolerance and native plant knowledge. Ken often lectures on sustainable landscaping and ecological farming practices and is a very well respected individual in the ever growing group of citizens concerned with the health of our planet.
