This collection reflects an ongoing relationship with science, nature, and the craft of writing itself. Again and again, I find myself returning to plants—to study them, learn from them, and translate what emerges through careful research and attention.
These monographs and essays are grounded in evidence and inquiry, shaped by clinical experience, personal practice, and continued study. They’re written from a place of stewardship and respect—an understanding that the natural world is not something to be extracted from or altered, but listened to and documented with care.
In a time of rapid ecological change, this work feels especially vital: a way of honoring, preserving, and advocating for the extraordinary plant life that surrounds us.
These pieces are an invitation—to explore the complexity of plant life, to stay curious, and to reach out, whether for a freelance project, a shared interest, or a good conversation about the natural world.
