Three people - a California-based botanist and nature writer, a Native American writer/artist/basketweaver, and a visual artist whose work often incorporates plant materials, provide complimentary insights of the unique California environment.  Commissioned by the Headlands Center for the Arts to document the native flora of the Marin Headlands according to Linnean and Native American classification systems.  Simply and beautifully designed, this work makes a wonderful gift as well as an illuminating exploration of distinct personal visions of single locale.
