Expert Profile: Robin

Expertise: I can answer questions relating to the identification, growing and ethnobotany of native plants in the Midwest and East Coast of the United States, particularly the Great Lakes Region. I am not so good with grasses and I cannot answer questions related to the West Coast or the deep South.

Experience in the area
I maintain a half acre woodland garden in Michigan. I have attended many native gardening workshops and I studied field botany in college. I have taken groups on native plant walks.

Organizations
Michigan Native Gardeners Wild Ones

Education/Credentials
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology with a Biology minor.
