Martin Quigley, Executive Director of the UCSC Arboretum
Title: The Landscape of Community
How have historical customs and aspirations shaped the way we think about our landscapes? Why do Americans have such an obsession with lawns? And how do we achieve harmony with our surroundings? What is a native plant, anyway?
Martin Quigley attended Deep Springs College in California and then Cornell University where he earned a B.A. in Comparative Literature. At Utah State University he received an M.L.A. in Landscape Architecture, followed by a Ph.D. in Plant Ecology from Louisiana State University.
He has been employed as a nursery laborer, horticulturist, landscape architect, land planner, environmental consultant, field ecologist and researcher, and professor of botany. Before coming to UCSC in 2016 he worked in seven states and ten other countries.
