About Derek

Based in the Twin Cities, Derek Carwood has been involved in horticulture and creating sustainable landscapes for over 30 years. He has experience working in both the United States and abroad, including North, Central, and South America, Europe, and Asia. He has a Master’s Degree in Sustainability Education and a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Ecology.

Derek’s inspiration comes from his life-long interest in better-integrating humans into the natural world. By re-thinking our gardens and landscapes as not only places of beauty and leisure, but also as smaller pieces of the greater ecosystem puzzle around us, we can create richly diverse and sustainable habitats for all flora and fauna.
