Landscape Architect and Planner Ruth Hamberg loves both cities and rural areas. In cities we find the confluence of transportation, people, business and culture but really makes a city is it's physical design, urban form and landscape. That's the layered tapestry that Ruth enjoys working within. As for rural areas Ruth is passionate about protecting natural lands, family farms and rural lifestyles. Passionate about the environment, Ruth practices sustainability techniques on every project.
