About Me

Roland Abernathy

Roland Abernathy
I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by plants—first in my grandmother’s overgrown backyard in Ohio, then in the community gardens where I volunteered as a teen. There’s nothing quite like the quiet satisfaction of watching something grow from a tiny seed into something vibrant and alive.
