| Personal Bio | Since retiring from her profession as a biomedical research scientist, Lydia has turned her energy to environmental stewardship through involvement with the New England native plant community and other conservation organizations. A long-time docent at the Connecticut College Arboretum, Lydia found native plants as the logical intersection of life-long interests in gardening, nature and health. She joined Wild Ones® in 2014 and has served as President of the Connecticut Mountain Laurel Chapter since 2019. She is also a Plant Conservation Volunteer with the Native Plant Trust. Lydia lives in Mystic, CT with her husband Mark (with whom she shares many interests). In addition to converting a 1/3-acre suburban lot into a hot spot of native biodiversity, she also tends a vegetable garden, a collection of orchids and a small menagerie of snakes. |
