All My Gardens are Wild: 30 Years of Ethnobotany
Presented by Phyllis Hogan, founder of the Arizona Ethnobotanical Research Association

Phyllis Hogan shares stories and insights from her three decades of work with native plants, traditional knowledge, and collaboration with the Indigenous communities of the Colorado Plateau. Her talk highlights the many traditional herbalists and healers she has learned from, as well as the deep cultural and ecological relationships between people and plants in this unique region—and why preserving this knowledge matters now more than ever. From sacred tobacco to high desert herbs, Hogan weaves together science, spirituality, and story in a celebration of wild gardens, traditional life ways, and the enduring wisdom of plants.

This presentation is held in partnership with the Flagstaff Festival of Science.
