Joey Santore is a botanist, artist, author and ex-railroader who travels the world documenting plant life. He is the host and producer of the youtube channel Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't and was the host of a small-scale tv show called Kill Your Lawn. He advocates for native plants, building a closer human relationship with Earth's plant life, and a re-thinking of modern American horticulture and landscaping due to its mundane disconnection from both ecological and biological reality. His new book Concrete Botany (release date April 7th) is a gritty, kick-in-the-guts look at the ecological disturbance humans have caused and the resilience of the plants living amongst it.
