Folks call me Ivy.  I knew from childhood I wanted to be a scientist and got my BS in Plant Biology where I discovered a passion for Ecological Restoration, so I got a Masters in that, focusing on rare species.  I've studied various aspects of plant biology and explored several roles in ecology as well as pharmacological plant chemistry, ranging from the south to current home in the Pacific Northwest. 

​

With Natural Coalescence, I want to take others on journeys with me into the inner lives of plants and their habitats, and sample some as trails snacks along the way.  I want to help keep the fruitful engagement with plants from going extinct, as I've known for many years that The Botanist is an endangered role. 

Help save the botanists!
