E3 - Energy and Efficiency with Emily is a podcast dedicated to energy efficient home building in cold climate areas of New England. For the month of October we are very excited to have some steller female guests join us on the podcast. The movement #moveoverbob is gaining some traction on highlighting the brilliant women who work in the construction industry. So today we had the pleasure of talking with Kerry Lewis, a landscape architect and colleague. She gives a lot of valuable insight on how to prep a site, how not to start from scratch, how to incorporate native plantings, and why it’s so important to have a plan and work with a landscape architect to spend less on your landscape in the long run. Better planning = better projects.
