We are in the Anthropocene and baby, it’s not so bad. Whether you like plants or not, the ethic of this epoch is that of a garden. And whether you dig in the dirt or not, you are a gardener.

This substack shares practical gardening advice and inspiration for folks in southern Nevada, but much of it applies to anyone living in hot and dry climates, as well as climates that are getting hotter and drier.
