Widely-traveled plant expert, Kathy Keeler searches the globe for stories of the plant wonders of the world

  • Plants have stories to tell. Their stories color and enrich our planet and elicit poetry in humans.

  • Plants caution us, warn us, teach us, alarm us, feed us, comfort us, humor us, heal us and inform us of the earth’s changes.

  • Plants mirror to us who we are and what kind of custodians we are to our homes, communities and land.

“Plant stories have enthralled me for as long as I can remember and I am privileged to live a life where I can search them out and share them.”

As a former Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, my specialties range from ant-plant interactions to grass genetics to studies of prairie plants.

Retired, I now pursue travel and history, endlessly fascinated by different places and times.

And, wherever I go, I am irresistibly drawn to plants.

On this website and on my blog  you can gain a deeper enjoyment of the natural world and discover information about plants that will delight and enchant you. Since February 2017 my blog has been listed as one of 50 Best Blogs for Botanists and Plant Scientists by feedspot.com.
