Led by Celeste Holcomb. Celeste worked for almost a decade in horticulture, which included caring for a large conservatory of tropical and desert plants. She has a special interest in pest and disease control using beneficial organisms (ask her to geek out about parasitic wasps!)

After a decade of chronic illness, she left the manual labor sector and reoriented towards art, activism, and communications. With that shift, the obsession with greenery turned more towards house plants and small scale gardening, and in the ways that plants and human spaces interact.
