Designs that Integrate our Natural and Build Environments
Landscaping & Permaculture Design

With a background in permaculture, Dustin helped design and build two self-watering food forest systems at Jasper Place High School. At his home, Dustin installed water harvesting garden beds, edible perennial shrubs, and fruit trees. In 2012, Dustin designed the award winning Parkallen Diggers community garden.
School Garden Design
Since becoming a teacher, Dustin has been helping schools create innovative school gardens that support learning and build connections to the community.
