I am a plant ecologist who loves to garden. Gardeners have the power to transform urban environments into less stressful amd more sustainable places to live. Many of my photos are taken in the pocket forest my partner and I tend on four acres of land in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. You can read about our rewilding adventure in "Bringing Home the Wild A Riparian Garden in a Southwest City," published by the University of Arizona Press. Other photos showcase the biota of the desert mountains and rivers in the sprawling metropolis of Phoenix. Enjoy!
