Event Summary:
Ecosystem Regeneration Artisans is a low impact development (LID) landscape company and native plant nursery dedicated to reviving Texas rivers, recharging the Edwards aquifer, restoring wildlife habitat and making living in Texas rewarding for their life-loving clients.
Event Description:
Shannon Brown, our speaker for the first month of summer, did not create the idea of regenerative agriculture or gardening. However, she did found Ecosystem Regeneration Artisans (ERA) a landscape company with a vision to regenerate our world.
From apartment makeovers with plants that remove air toxins to wildlife management on large-acreage ranches, Shannon and her team focus on earth care and people care. The gardens they help us create use native plants to provide wildlife habitat for pollinators and birds, incorporate perennial food crops for human consumption, and often involve mechanisms to harvest rainwater, capturing it into the soil before it runs off, becomes polluted and contributes to flooding.
When do you begin to develop a vision like this? Shannon began at the age of 8 when her local wetland and forest playground was destroyed for a suburban housing development, She realized that the wildlife she loved required native plants for food, shelter, and places to raise their young. Local landscapers, teachers, Master Naturalists, Master Gardeners and volunteers became her workcrew and her mentors. Together they created a “Schoolyard Habitat for Wildlife” behind her elementary school. She hasn’t stopped since and has deepened her understanding with a degree in ecology and over 15 years of observation, maintenance, installation, and enjoyment of habitat gardens.
Shannon founded Ecosystem Regeneration Artisans (ERA) Landscapes to unite talented land stewards on projects that realize the vision of creating healthy ecological communities.
