"A person's life is not a series of dramatic events for which he or she is applauded or exiled but a slow accumulation of days, seasons, years, fleshed out by the generational weight of one's family and anchored by a land-bound sense of place."
- Gretel Ehrlich, The Solace of Open Spaces

Avocado *UPDATE*

 

  

Avocado Green, Inc. was founded by Nathan C. Anderson in 2003. Nathan is a Registered Landscape Architect (RLA) and earned a Master of Landscape Architecture degree from the University of Minnesota. A childhood spent on his family's dairy farm in south central Wisconsin and a lifelong passion for natural resources, art, and design have shaped his thirteen years of experience practicing landscape architecture.

Nathan has worked for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service in Washington, D.C. and the award-winning landscape architecture firm Coen+Partners in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He also has served as a mentor and visiting critic with the College of Design at the University of Minnesota.

Nathan was a selected participant in the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum's 2006 exhibition Secret Gardens with his installation "Penny Lane" and was awarded a temporary public art commission from the Jerome Foundation and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum. The installation "Please Take the Ticket" was completed in 2002.

His next artistic endeavor will be "Homegrown", a green wall installation for the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum's 2010 summer exhibition Powerhouse Plants.
