ABCs for Grown Ups

Hello Folks,
I would like to thank Lindsey for working as our intern last semester. We are located close to Iowa State University and have the good fortune of having a college intern every semester. We have had many interns who had a farm upbringing, but Lindsey is our first intern to have been raised on an organic certified farm. It was really exciting to have a second generation organic community member in our midst! Here is a photo of Lindsey outside our offices (did I tell you we have a rural location?)

I read these ABCs for Grown-ups and wanted to share them with you. Unfortunately, the author wasn't listed. Do you know who wrote them? Extra credit if you know what xeriscape means and practice it!
