Alex Hatch

Alex Hatch is a native San Franciscan who believes
in the preservation of open space through the development of community gardens by and for the benefit of city residents.

She has been a teacher, gardener and pruner in the Bay Area for 15 years, and between occupations has traveled throughout the world as well as living in Europe and Japan. Over time Alex has observed San Francisco becoming overdeveloped where much of its green spaces are threatened. This book is an attempt to introduce the readers to the necessity as well as the charms of green and open community spaces.

Alex lives in San Francisco with her life partner Emily Charles,( who wouldn't put her hands in dirt but who loves these gardens) and their two cats Pasha and Nemo.
