living walls, preserved moss and the benefits of greening our spaces
with amanda goldberg
“Truly, if you just follow what you are passionate about regardless of what you think it is going to lead you to, you’ll get there, the roads will converge at some point”
🌿SHOW NOTES🌿
In this Episode of Among the Jungle Podcast we follow the journey of regenerative engineer Amanda Goldberg. Amanda, and her team at Planted Design have an absolute gift for creating green spaces that have earned them 13 AmericanHort Awards for their custom designs (5 this year!). Their creations are beyond inspirational, and it is my belief this episode will have you "Dreaming Green" in unexpected ways!
Today we will learn:
1) All about living walls and preserved moss paintings
2) LEED Certification and the benefits of including green space at work and at home
3) How to keep the workspace fun and exciting and so much more

Regenerative Design- is a process-oriented whole systems approach to design. The term "regenerative" describes processes that restore, renew or revitalize their own sources of energy and materials.
USDA Hardiness Zone Map- divides North America into 11 separate planting zones; each growing zone is 10°F warmer (or colder) in an average winter than the adjacent zone.
LEED- or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. Available for virtually all building, community and home project types, LEED provides a framework to create healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving green buildings.
Compost- is organic matter that has been decomposed in a process called composting. This process recycles various organic materials otherwise regarded as waste products and produces a soil conditioner. Compost is rich in nutrients.
