“My first garden was a place no grown-up ever knew about, even though it was in the backyard of a quarter-acre suburban plot.”
Michael Pollan is an American author, journalist, activist, and professor of journalism at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. He writes about the places where nature and culture intersect: on our plates, in our farms and gardens, and in the built environment.
