I've studied in the horticultural at City College San Francisco, and worked professionally on and off over the years (preferring to keep gardening my "avocation" and refuge/escape from other interests). I've consulted for several community garden plans, and helped cofound an inner city community garden in San Francisco where I've gardened for 28 years. As a Veteran and former Chaplain Assistant, I'm moved by the intersection of plants and wildlife habitats with human habitation, particularly for their restorative benefits to urban dwellers and those effected by trauma. I'm constantly amazed at the regenerative power nature has to improve not only our own lives but our relations with one another. In terms of plants, I love the gamut: our "subtropical" Bay Area is considered "Mediterranean" in climate, so I've had a long interest in exotics (grouped tightly together to conserve water). Other interests include vines, roses, Japanese gardening, fruit trees, and xerophytes.
