--Carole Madan, owner of Momma Nature Landscaping, wants us all to have a respite, a place to get away and listen to nature and just breathe. Carole Madan is the Chair of the Tree Preservation Committee, which will coincide with her appointed seat on the Fulton County Citizens Commission on the Environment (FCCCE) in the Atlanta, GA area. Madan is reaching out to educate the everyman, the real people out there without extensive gardening experience or knowledge of plants. She has over 40 years' experience with the natural world. When she was just 10 years old, she had her own natural sanctuary to go to...something that was so important to her then is what drives her today so that other children and adults can have a sanctuary for themselves. She is a local radio show host (Radio Sandy Springs, 1620AM) and speaker. She teaches Perennial Plants through Clayton State Continuing Education (Roswell, GA) and is a Master Gardener with extensive Advanced Master Gardener classwork and teaches in the Outdoor Classrooms of public elementary schools and Autrey Mill Nature Preserve.
