For three years, Logan and Sophia Gilbertsen have lived at their 103-year old home in downtown Algonquin across the street from the Fox River. Due to their location and Logan’s experiences as a water resource engineer, utilizing native plants to control water runoff, attracting beneficial wildlife,
