About Me

My research interests, beyond U.S. environmental, agricultural, and wine history in general, include Victorian material culture and deathways, 19th century botanical gardens, and the history and politics of orchid growing and community gardening. I am at work on two book-length projects, both focused on 19th century U.S. botany.
