Erin Presley is the herb, woodland, and pond garden horticulturist at Olbrich Botanical Gardens, a 16-acre, free, public garden founded in 1952 on the shores of Lake Wonona in Madison, Wisconsin.
In her position since 2014, Erin has become as much a part of the landscape as the plants and animals of the garden she loves. She has been particularly instrumental in bringing to life, with the help of other plants people, gardens of culture representing the natural history and plant relationships of a diversity of Madisonians from the Indigenous cultures, including Ho-chunk, to Ayurvedic, Hmong, and more.
