Douglas Kent

Landscapes lie at the intersection of air and fire, land and water - elements that gives us our life and diversity, disruption and change.

.

Douglas Kent has been chasing these elements since childhood. Over 40 years of field experience, seven books, over 50 published articles, and landscapes scattered throughout California, Kent's hands are rarely clean. For the last 24 years he has run a horticultural services business that specializes in the measurable improvement of our landscapes and communities. He also teaches at USC Architecture & Urbanism, Center for Regenerative Studies at CPP, and UCLA Horticulture Extension. When not in a garden Kent can be found goofing around with his family, or at sea, or both. His work can be viewed on anfractus.
