Environmental design, landscape, and horticulture/agriculture issues will continue to be a growing field! I'm seeking members who want to balance both practice and theory to engage in meaningful projects that either build our skills, or make a profit. I believe this approach is the best way for communities to prosper. A good way to achieve this would be to use environmental design programs, such as Foothill and UC Berkeley as templates. Here are some careers that these programs influence; Arbori …

We understand that the one of the best ways to improve our own business is to utilize the network of people that other members have built. If one person can reach 100 people, then a group of 20 people can reach 2000 and that is very powerful. There have been many fruitful relationships built in our group that will last the rest of our professional lives, and we are looking for more people that share our enthusiasm. This and other Business related Meetups are dedicated to working with small, eme …

This is a group for contemporary artists in the Silicon Valley area who desire to meet other artists for the sake of fostering artistic community. Silicon Valley is a tough area to work in as a contemporary artist. With the exception of a few galleries and museums, and some small collegial art programs, meeting other artists so as not to be creating is a vacuum is difficult at best. Engaging with other artists is key to sustaining an art practice, both for the purposes of moral support, getting …

It's about time we as Americans opened our eyes to the reality that the old plan of "saving" just isn't working! Too many retirees are back to work, and that trend is just going to get worse. What can …
