"Sue's efforts support mine as I develop building designs, and
she is also very helpful to our clients. She presents a range of options
for them to consider, communicates the assets and drawbacks of each
option, and respects their goals and preferences. In our collaborations,
the client, architect, contractor, and landscape architect work together
to bring about a rich and thoughtful final product."
-Mary
Kraus, Architect

Before the red maples flower, long before the hepaticas and amelanchiers bloom... spring in northwestern Massachusetts appears first in the teensy female blossoms of the hazelnut. But look hard: each flower is smaller than a baby's fingertip. And from this will grow a fat yummy nut in a two-inch husk. Amazing!
