In this virtual age, how wonderful it is to be grounded in our physical environment. Landscape historian and educator Barbara Geiger’s philosophy is that each individual needs to know about the landscape we inhabit if we are to create true sustainability.
 

Barbara Geiger teaches in the College of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology, the Chicago Botanic Garden, and other locations in the Chicago area.

Each course, tour, and lecture focuses on a particular theme, filled with anecdotes and humor, and thought-provoking intellectual excursions to allow students and participants to learn in an easy, natural way.
