My name is Alejandra. I'm originally from sunny San Juan, Puerto Rico, and I've been lucky enough to work as a landscape designer in both the beautiful Pacific Northwest and in the Midwest. With a passion for creating sustainable landscapes, I hold a Doctorate and Master's degree in horticulture, focusing on ecological landscape design.
Throughout my career, I've been fascinated by sustainable design practices. My research dives into topics like understanding how different plants interact in urban environments to promote biodiversity and creating herbaceous plant communities that thrive in sustainable urban landscapes.
Beyond my academic pursuits, I'm proud to be an Associate Faculty member at Edmonds College, where I love sharing my knowledge of sustainable gardening design with students and fellow horticulture enthusiasts.
