Kris Garnier
Kris Garnier spends time exploring in woods, fields, stream-sides, mountain tops, overgrown lots and cracks in a sidewalk, in search of interesting plants that she observes and preserves in her herbarium. In 2017 she earned a botany certification through the NYBG.
She maintains estate gardens and indoor plant collections and is also a vocalist, composer, storyteller and amateur photographer.
Kris plans to seek out and mount native and non native plants growing in Saugerties today and to compare the plants with growth in future years.
