I'm grateful to Jen Ho for interviewing me and giving me the chance to reflect on my habitat restoration work and my beloved urban container garden, and how they teach me about the beauty and complexity of relationships between all living things. We are all a part of the natural world, no matter where we live.
"I would love for people to not feel like they have to leave home and get in the car or ride two hours on the bus to 'get into nature.' My great passion is for people to feel that connection with the natural world where they live, and to understand how many beings they share that life with."
Regarding the wildlife who visit my garden, a Certified Wildlife Habitat:
"And it just makes me wonder, in all those cases: How do you guys figure it out? I’m a block north from Wilshire, and it is as urban as it gets. How did you find this? And I’m so happy that you did."
If you'd like to see more, follow me on Instagram where I post updates (including wildlife sightings!) from my garden and fieldwork in the Santa Monica Mountains.
