ALEX

Plant Boss. Dig It Gardens

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.

BETH

Lead Landscape Architect


Canoeing the ruddy frigid waters of Saranac Lake. Ancient mountains dulled to hillsides.  Rocky Mountains. Laying in the sweet grass of high mountain moraine. alpine air, thin and citrusy. Moving West. Crisscrossing the Continental Divide. Saguaro forests. Creosote, petrichor and growing roots. Desert trails with Nic, back heavy with pack. Dust in the creases around my eyes. The Old Pueblo. Landscape Architecture. Gardens and front porches with friends. Telling the story of water, the blue green color of an agave, the ruggedness of the Sonoran Desert. Hummingbird host. Ancho Mama.
