Cultivating Place: Kelly Comras, Landscape Architect, Historian, And Author

Landscape architects create outdoor spaces with intention and thought. While the effects are often unnoticed consciously, they are absorbed and experienced nonetheless — impacting us, our culture, and our understanding of place — historically and right now. Kelly Comras explores some of these ideas with us on Cultivating Place this week. 

Landscape architect, landscape historian, president of the California Garden & Landscape History Society, Kelly is the author of “RuthShellhorn” a biographical portrait and part of the Masters of Modern Landscape Design series from the Library of American Landscape History.
