Gracie
Gracie is a photojournalist, botanical artist, hiker, and avid gardener. Before moving to Eugene in 2019, Gracie grew up in Ohio, living in Athens (go bobcats!), Columbus, and Cleveland. She has a B.S. in Visual Communication with a focus on Photojournalism. Her work has included everything from documentary photography to environmental education in primary schools and even sugar cookie decorating at a high-end bakery. She is passionate about sustainable living, environmental justice, and making sure our food systems are equitable for everyone. Outside of work, you can find Gracie lost in the woods with flowers in her hair and moss between her toes. She is excited to spend her summers exploring the Oregon coast, rivers, mountains, and valleys with her partner and friends.
There may be no better person that embodies the vision of “Plant Stories” like herbal troubadour and Appalachian naturalist, Doug Elliot. A gifted storyteller, Doug recites both wisdom and whimsy through spoken word and song on today's episode about dandelion, blackberry, strawberry, and apple.
