Josh Banks is an architect (and gardener!) in the Tri-Cities region focusing on designing thoughtful structures that are inspired by the wealth of craftsmanship, history, and natural beauty found in Southern Appalachia and the South. Josh is also an enthusiastic gardener, novice naturalist, and also owns a small scale plant nursery, Paragraph Designs Nursery, where he focuses on growing local ecotype native plants sustainably.
In "Connecting Home & Garden" Josh will discuss the ways in which gardens can accentuate, compliment, and harmonize with the built environment, specifically residences. He will focus on 3 tenets of design that can help achieve harmony between home and garden: Central Idea and Mood, Compliments and Counterpoints, and Balance and Scale.
