Maria Onesto Moran, Neighbor

I own Green Home Experts, the area's local source for sustainable home and building products, located in Oak Park. I also volunteer with the Forest Park Community Garden, Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory and Literacy Works.

I've lived in Forest Park for four years with my husband Casey and two pitbulls, Butkus and Mia. We recently added another dog to the pack--our son, Oscar.

After my customers are satisfied, the family is fed and walked, the paperwork is done and the laptop's turned off, you'll find me in my garden.
