Alison Pockat is a Landscape Architect with a small private practice in Cary, NC. She grew up playing in the woods and lakes of South Carolina. Even now, when not working on site plans, she spends a great deal of time with her son, Del, roaming in the woods of the nature preserve that borders her back yard, local forests and parks and working in her wooded garden. Together they also like to go hiking and camping in parks throughout North Carolina and in places like St. John, USVI, Ireland, Hawaii and Montserrat.
She has practiced landscape architecture for 35 years. Prior to this, her experience includes work with the Soil Conservation Service and she has had articles published in Erosion Control International and Landscape and Irrigation Magazine.
