Kirsten TripplettKirsten Tripplett, PhD is a trained horticulturalist and botanist and has been teaching about plants for over 20 years. She’s been studying plants since she was a five years old. While fairly new to Sonoma County, Kirsten has gardened in NY, CA, Texas and New England, learning about and adapting to distinctly diverse flora, climates and soil conditions. In grad school, she studied how traditional Maya people across Central American and México continue to use domesticated and wild plants as medicines, in rituals and religious practices, as food, and in technology. More recently, she has been working and gardening in west Sonoma County, where microclimates and pollinators abound. Kirsten volunteers for and works with Partners for Sustainable Pollinators to help promote “Bee Friendly Farming?” across northern California and the United States and Canada. She believes that bees are mighty and precious creatures and encourages everyone to plant bee gardens! |
