If you have ever felt like you might own a few too many plants, prepare to feel guilt-free.
Summer Rayne Oaks, a local Brooklyn woman, has been making news after having literally transformed her apartment into an “urban jungle” after amassing over 500+ plants. According to the biography on her blog, Oaks decided to create the perfect marriage of modern society and lush nature in her very own home after reclaiming mine sites, researching sewage sludge, and restoring forestlands!
Summer Rayne Oakes, other than being a master gardener, also graduated with degrees in Environmental Science and Entomology from Cornell University cum laude. And she didn’t just stop there!
Oaks has had already over a decade of experience in sustainable-thinking on how to incorporate sustainability into our everyday lives and industries, such as creating apps like Good Eggs and Foodstand.
Media giants such as CNN, Vogue, Fox News, The New York Times, The Guardian, and Vanity Fair have highly praised her work for its ingenuity and creativity. CNBC even went on to name her as one of their “Top 10 Green Entrepreneurs”!
“I like to design and work on creative solutions to some of our greatest environmental challenges,” says Oaks.
Summer Rayne Oaks goes on to say, “These are things like improving our supply chain with technology, designing more environmentally-sound products, creating entertaining media with a message, helping people eat better, and bringing back the joy of movement to a sedentary world.”
Thanks to Sterling Publishing, we can expect to see Oaks’ first cookbook this coming Spring of 2017!
