MARK CORBIN, Owner
As a homegrown Vermonter, gardening is naturally in Mark's blood. In a search to create a greener urban landscape, he has brought his passion for design, creativity and plant-growing experience to Boston. His many years working on a four-season diversified farm while teaching paid off when he earned a first place award for Historic Windsor, Vermont's 2007 Summer Garden Contest. He holds a BA in History from St. Michael's College and an Ed.M in Policy, Planning and Administration from Boston University. When Mark's not out digging up dirt, he's active in South End community projects and involved with urban youth development projects.
