How does your garden grow? For organic-beauty pioneer John Masters, "green" is not a trend but a way of life. Not only is his Manhattan salon powered with 100-percent wind energy, but Masters has also taken steps to increase the city's fresh oxygen supply by giving his salon's backyard garden an "eco-update." He worked in conjunction with landscape architect Simon Martinez and consultants from the nonprofit Rainforest Relief to transform the garden into a relaxing, green haven with a deck and planters crafted from reclaimed wood, natural systems for repurposing storm water runoff and organic soil management that makes pesticides and herbicides unnecessary.
