Micro Forests in LA: Modifying the Global Miyawaki Method
of Afforestation for Drought-Prone Southern California

Katherine Pakradouni

Native Plant Horticulturist

 

Katherine Pakradouni is a LA-based native plant horticulturist, urban habitat restoration specialist, consultant, nursery starter, and grower who has worked for such organizations as the Theodore Payne Foundation, Grown in LA, the LA Parks Foundation, and the Santa Monica Mountains Fund.
Katherine runs her own business, Seed to Landscape, where she designs and installs community-centered urban habitat restoration projects in the region.
As the designer of LA’s first micro forests and the creator of LAmicroforests.com, she aims to create a world where biodiversity-enhancing, ecologically-sound landscapes become the norm, especially in our public spaces. All Seed to Landscape projects prioritize the use of locally-native species grown from regionally-suitable seeds, and promote and support the growth and expansion of grassroots nursery sites in diverse locales in the city in partnership with non-profit Grown in LA.
Katherine's slideshow will provide powerful and helpful visuals about how micro forests are created and how they benefit our world.
