Trevor Newman is an avid pomologist, landscape designer & consultant, orchardist, and all around plant geek. A longtime passion for gardening and ecology combined with an enthusiasm for local food systems led him to co-found Roots To Fruits Ecological Design, an edible landscaping and ecological design firm based in southeast MI. He teaches permaculture courses and gives seminars to schools, garden clubs, community groups, and businesses on topics such as homesteading, regenerative design, agroforestry, and more. Trevor is the president of the Michigan Nut Growers Association and co-chair of the North American Fruit Explorer’s permaculture special interest group.
