Saxon Holt

"And now, in the midst of tumultuous climate change, we realize it's all the more important the gardeners be stewards of the land, attuned to the local environment on behalf of all creatures. Every small act we do adds resiliency." Saxon Holt is a photojournalist who has spent more than 40 years exploring Kingdom Plantae and the fundamental importance of plants to the health of the planet. A lifelong gardener, he abandoned commercial photography when he discovered garden publishers and could no longer stay in a studio. His work has been featured in diverse publications, from Architectural Digest and Pacific Horticulture magazine, to Smithsonian and Money magazine. He is the sole photographer of more than 30 books. His work increasingly focuses on the relationship between gardens and the land, seeking a sustainable aesthetic that can enhance both gardener and Garden Earth. He licenses his archives of garden photography at PhotoBotanic.com where he publishes articles on plants, photography, and gardening.
