I grew up wandering the woodlands and wading the creeks near my home in Maryland. Summer vacations were spent along the Atlantic or clamming, crabbing and fishing on Chincoteague Bay. I love the out-of-doors in general and wild places and gardens in particular.
Eventually I migrated to the West Coast to study landscape architecture and now live, garden and write — mostly about landscape, gardens and sustainability — in Northern New Mexico.
. . . Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. – Rumi . . .
I am also a partner at Whitworth and I, a creative content producer and independent publisher that specializes in concept design and interpretation for museums, parks and other natural areas, and publishes books and related printed material exploring the natural world. My professional background also includes research, writing, and public information work for the National Park Service, World Wildlife Fund, and Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources.
