Andrew Hedman has been passionate about wildlife and conservation since he was a small child. As a retail store manager at Aquascape, Inc (North America’s largest manufacturer of pond and water feature products), he learned how beneficial naturally-filtered water features are for local ecosystems. Inspired by the work of Doug Tallamy, he started his own landscaping company, Good Steward Ecoscapes, where he utilizes native plants in all landscaping installations.
