The Wright Scoop - consultant, lecturer & wordsmith
The Wright Scoop –Sylvia Hoehns Wright, recipient of the ‘Turning America from Eco-weak to Eco-chic’ award sponsored by Hines Horticulture, Project Evergreen and Today’s Garden Center magazine, challenges communities to create eco sustainable landscapes, landscapes that reflect 4 Ps - ‘Right Plant, Place, Planting Strategy and Purchased to support Buy-Local: developers, growers and retailers’.
Having attended Wright's workshop, Changing America’s Landscape, during the National Cities Conference held in DC, "I was anxious," says Kenneth Pritchett, "to start a Go Green effort for my community, Petersburg VA." Sharing first-hand knowledge of the impact of urban development on her central Virginia wet-land property, Wright explored techniques proven to move America's landscapes from eco-weak to eco-chic, creating a legacy of healthy community green spaces.
As a 'hands-on' landscape gardener, Wright gardens a 2-acre woodland site located in Central VA. Featured by PBS TV VA Home Grown for her eco-srategies, Wright respects an existing vista preserving and enhancing its health. As an eco consultant, Wright for her clients ensures landscape garden designs that include plants
not selected simply to provide contrast of structure, texture, and color, but environmental contributions.
Encouraging the use of green-scaping concepts, Wright advocates build and maintain healthy soil, install right plant for site requirements; and during seasonal appropriate cycles, be water wise, adopt earth-friendly pest and weed management, implement natural lawn care and install plants during least climate stress conditions.
A speaker for Nursery and Landscape Associations as well as garden and civic clubs, the Garden Writer’s Conference held in As recipient of the Turning America from Eco-weak to Eco-chic Award, she challenges all to ‘plant more plants’, move their life-styles from eco-weak to eco-chic – ‘green’ life’s garden, one scoop at a time!

“Sylvia’s eco-chic advocacy embodies every aspect of the consumer education campaign we hoped to inspire,” said Den Gardner, executive director of Project EverGreen, www.projectevergreen.com. “The judges were impressed with her ongoing effort to teach eco-green. For, our vision is to be a global organization that empowers people within communities to change society through the responsible creation and preservation of sustainable green spaces, such that the ever-increasing impacts of global warming in the world are measurably reduced; because Green Matters!”
