The interaction of plants and art; representing information, passion, interaction. Relaying information. Unconventionality. Adaptation. First plant? Bismarckia nobilis; slow-growing habit leaving anticipation. Soil; the foundation of life. More oxygen, less water. Greatest achievement: being a role model to my kids, watching them change the world. Family; the driving force of my passion. Becoming a respected representative of plants; providing unique information about their care. Mesa Community College’s Landscape Horticulture program.
