The year has been very rich in encounters and professional work beyond the borders of the ateliers.

I have been involved in publishing a short contribution to an american textbook on mindfulness and horticultural therapy.

The foundation of the french professional organisation Federation Francaise Jardins Nature Santé FFJNS of which I am a founding member and a board member has taken up some time.

I have started to present the profession in pubic forums such as the Nature of Cities Summit in Paris France, and the forthcoming Gartentherapie Conference in Germany.
