Who is Kathleen Adams?

I am a plant person. As a child my family always had a garden and house plants. On Kodiak Island, in Alaska, I had a Winter garden (in the summer). In San Francisco I had a backyard box garden. Today, I have a nice little vegetable & herb garden at my home in Ashland, a philodendron jungle above my desk, and a Christmas cactus which was a start from my Grandmother's cactus (I've been growing it for over 25 years. It's huge now!).

I received my Bachelor degree in Psychology, with a minor in Religion, from Linfield College in 1979. I have worked in various Social Service positions since graduation. In 1999, while working with MRDD adults at Hollyhock Nursery, I was certified as a Hortucultural Therapy Technician with the American Horticultural Therapy Association (I'm one of only five in Oregon).
