Join us as we welcome John Magee, award winning landscape designer and host of The Native Plant Podcast.
John Magee has been designing and building landscapes in the Washington DC Metro area and beyond for the past 25 years. After receiving his B.S. degree in Agriculture from the Ohio State University and spending a few years training and showing horses, he settled into the industry as the General Foreman of Pennsylvania’s highest award-winning landscape firm. While in Pennsylvania, he became a volunteer at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and not only did he meet his wife there, but he was introduced to habitat gardening and the use of native plants in the landscape. He now operates his own award-winning design firm (Magee Design) in the beautiful countryside of Middleburg, VA where he also enjoys kayaking and taking long walks with his wife and dog. He created and hosts the “Native Plant” podcast and hosts and produces the “Protecting what Matters” podcast in partnership with the Department of the Interior’s “National Invasive Species Council” Secretariat.
