Introduction: | |
| The web site started as a place for chronicling my Edgehill Mountain volunteer work but as grown into a general native plant resource and eventually the home page for my business web site. The name Edgehill perfectly captures my motives for restoring native plant habitats in the steep neglected fringes of an urban setting. | |
Two "home" zones for the edgehill.net web site: | |
| home: Paul Furman, landscape architect (my business pages) | |
| home: Edgehill Mountain (about the park and other misc. pages) | |
Photographs: | |
| It turns out this is most of the content on the site these days. I hope you enjoy, I love snapping photos with the Olympus C3030 digital and have taken thousands of mostly nature shots. I'm working on making it searchable and more easy to browse, in the mean time you might try the main google search tool above. | |
