Peg is one of the founders of Common Ground, where her presence reflects a blend of creativity, practicality, and community spirit. Her interests span nature, gardening, community, and architecture, all of which shape the thoughtful way she contributes to the space and the people around it. Known for being part trouble-shooter and part troublemaker, she brings both steadiness and a spark of playful energy to everyday life.
When she is not helping things run smoothly, Peg can often be found tucked away at her pottery wheel, immersed in the quiet rhythm of making. Her connection to family is just as central to her story: she is the proud mother of three Mendell kids, all of whom grew up at family camp. Her background gives her a warm, grounded perspective that resonates with the spirit of shared experience and belonging.
