Stephanie is from Marin county where her family introduced her to a love of plants through gardening, hiking, camping, and eating. Her respect for California native plants unfurled by reading field guides during her outdoor educator career and was solidified after a field botany class taken at College of Marin. She later received a bachelor’s degree in Biology with an Ecology concentration from Dominican University of Ca. Now she has found her plant community at The Watershed Nursery and spends her free time cooking, walking her dog, and puttering in her garden.
