Sue Reed

A registered Landscape Architect, I have helped hundreds of homeowners create environmentally sensitive, resource-efficient, comfortably livable, and beautiful landscapes that conserve energy and respond to climate change. I've worked in western Massachusetts for 30 years, including twelve years as an instructor at the Conway School of Landscape Design.

My first book, Energy-Wise Landscape Design, published in April 2010 by New Society Publishers, won a Gold Award from Independent Publishers Magazine, and a Book of the Year Silver Award from ForeWord Reviews. This book explains the hundreds of ways we can design our landscapes to save energy, both inside and outside our homes and buildings.

My second book, Climate-Wise Landscaping, co-written with Ginny Stibolt, provides hundreds of practical actions we can all take to help our landscapes respond to new and changing conditions, and also to shrink our carbon footprint. This book, published by New Society in April 2018, contains a compelling foreword by Doug Tallamy.
