Embodying Green Living. DripLine Designs is a green local freelance sustainability-minded gardening and and education service based in Shreveport, Louisiana. DLD aims to provide an integrated systems approach to visible and invisible structures design for green education. The two fronts we develop are namely (1) permaculture and place-based site design (or the "on-site" front) and (2) online marketing structure design (the "on-line" front). Through this means, we intend to support bottom-up networking of the "invisible" (non-physical) structures of financial, legal, and (primarily) social systems for learning and building "visible" (physical) structures for micro-agriculture and general systems engineering. From outdoor education spaces, learning gardens, and community food network support, we are ready to serve you. The ultimate goal is to achieve a long-term win-win-win among communities, their local government, and both local and global economy and ecology in the transition from peak oil to sustainable systems. Our "staff":
+ Jön Soul: certified permaculture gardener, Montessori teacher, outdoor education and environmental consultant, and founder of the Bayou to Bay Project
+ Kelsey Payne ("KP"): certified master gardener, permaculture advocate, multidisciplinary tutor, and nonviolent communication coach
Our mission is simple: to not only enhance the natural beauty of a space but to increase its natural viability toward the triple-standard benefits of planet, people, and (in the case of local agriculturists) profit. Now that's a greener lawn!
