We now realize the propagation and care of traditional native plants is sometimes the only means by which to save the integrity of a species. This knowledge has become a serious discipline for me as well as a very fulfilling passion.

Welcome to the Cultivating Allies site!
You are now entering a world of beneficial plant species. Their unique stories, rich histories, contemporary uses, and cultivation techniques are offered.
I have lived and worked with these plants for over 30 years, and as an elder now I wish to share what I have learned so that you are able to produce lush, healthy plants as easily as possible.
One of the intentions of this site and my upcoming book is to entice you into taking your botanical relationships to new, more intimate levels.
Stay tuned, I will surely entertain you with some of my stories.
Please keep in mind that none of what I present here has been professionally edited ~ Thanks!
