Community Outreach Group for Landscape Design

All are welcome at COGdesign's annual event to showcase the community design projects we've worked on over the past year. The Community Outreach Group for Landscape Design (COGdesign) is a local nonprofit dedicated to providing pro bono landscape design to chronically-marginalized communities in Greater Boston. We match landscape architects and designers to community groups seeking professional design assistance. Come learn more about our community design process, enjoy a drink and some snacks and hear a great talk by esteemed community member, and former Director of DSNI,* Greg Watson. 
Gregory C. Watson is Director of Policy & Systems Design at the Schumacher Center for a New Economics which is a leading voice for building local economies. Watson has spent nearly 40 years learning to understand systems thinking as inspired by Buckminster Fuller and to apply that understanding to achieve a just and sustainable world.
       One of the first Executive Directors of Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI), a multicultural grassroots organizing and planning organization, he was an early voice addressing climate change and continues to be passionate about renewable energy, urban agriculture/food justice, organic farming, aquaculture, wind-energy technology and passive solar design. Greg Watson has held numerous public offices including Commissioner of Agriculture and chair of the Commonwealth’s Public Market Commission among other positions under Governors Weld, Dukakis and Patrick. Most recently he served on President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. Department of Energy transition team.
