Saving Grace
As owner of Browsing Green Goats, an eco-friendly landscaping service, Mary Bowen travels the East Coast with a hungry herd of about 40 goats (15 of which are rescues) to clear overgrown brush from historical sites, wineries and golf courses. Because Bowen's munch-tastic machines—there's Joy, Cinnamon and Polly, to name a few—prefer to dine on pesky weeds like poison ivy, kudzu and wisteria, they offer an environmentally sound (not to mention really cute) alternative to potentially harmful herbicides.
