My curiosity about plants came from the camping trips that my family went on as a young girl. I learned early on that some plants could be eaten while others would make you itch! This early sense of curiosity bloomed into a lifelong passion for plants.

The grounding sense of Nature inspires me to keep learning more of what & who lives nearby and how to make the spaces better for all (animal or human). Whether it’s learning how to save water or create healthy habitats, I want to be part of the process to improve the diversity and sustainability of the world that we share with our wildlife & human communities.

It’s exciting to be part of the Backyard Bounty team & part of a group that strives to add links to the beautiful necklace of sustainable nature to the web of the world around us.
