________________________________________
Since 2015, I have been collecting and preserving plants from Saugerties and Woodstock, NY.
With the shifting climate and growing human footprint in our area,
my goal is to build a collection that offers a good representation of the plants growing in our region
and will also be useful and helpful for future generations of nature lovers!
