Amelia Lima
She is a long-time landscape designer who studied Architecture at Universidade Santa Ursula in Rio de Janeiro, and Horticulture at William Rainey Harper College in Chicago.
She has had the good fortune to live in many different cities, which gave her the opportunity to work with a great variety of plant materials, garden styles and US climate zones.
In 1989 she met Roberto Burle Marx, a highly respected Brazilian designer, and spent a week in his office in Rio de Janeiro. Amelia now teaches about Burle Marx’s gardens and his legacy to the modern garden design movement.
Her work has been featured in various publications including Sunset Magazine, Sunset The New York Times, Fine Gardening Magazine, and more.
Marianne Simon
Instructor
Marianne was born to a family of artists and has spent her life exploring creativity in its many facets. In 1999 she discovered the world of landscaping and a new way of expressing herself. With a degree in landscape architecture, she joined G3, Green Gardens Group managing 'groundbreaking' programs, teaching and spreading the word about watershed-wise landscaping, and doing all she can to shift the pendulum back towards a healthy planet.
As current CEO of Watershed Wise, LLC, G3’s sister company, she produces and manages the on-demand content.
Pamela Berstler
CEO, G3 Green Gardens Group
Our very own force of nature, Pamela Berstler is a highly experienced landscape expert who co-founded and continues to manage G3, Green Gardens Group. G3 is an award-winning EPA WaterSenseTM Partner and Professional Certifying Organization that educates and certifies property owners, policymakers, and landscape professionals throughout the U.S. and Canada in irrigation and rainwater capture using the Watershed Approach to landscaping.
Pamela spent a decade working as a landscape contractor with her own bespoke design/build firm specializing in innovations for sustainable cities. She didn’t come to landscapes and agriculture through a direct route, as she first took a detour through a career in derivative securities trading and raising private equity for technology and media companies. Pamela is deeply committed to the reinvigoration of American entrepreneurship through regenerative land management and agriculture.
Pamela is a 2019 Climate Reality Leader and is the recipient of many awards including the National APLD Sustainability Award, EPA Certifying Professional Organization of the Year, and Garden Communicators Association Green Medal in Sustainability.
Pamela incubated a love of gardening turning 40-year-old compost on her grandfather's urban farm and with her hands in the soil cultivating her mother's beloved tomato patch. And while she once loved the fast live, she now is returning to her roots, sharing her passion for growing family farm economic value and rebuilding rural comunities. Pamela is happiest in a garden and in front of an audience talking about the power of gardens to heal the planet.
