What Daniel had to say about himself on his website:

“My name is Daniel, and I am a bona fide plant nerd. I grow plants, study plants, work with plants, and write about plants. This blog will document my plant obsession. It is for the equally plant obsessed, as well as for the plant interested and the plant curious. Along with being consumed with plants and the plant world, I am also immersed in awkwardness, bursting at the seams with geekiness. Hence, Awkward Botany. If you can relate, this blog’s for you. Even if you can’t, I hope that you will give it a look. Ideally, you will find something here that piques your interest and makes your visit worthwhile. If you like what you see, please tell your friends. This is a movement after all, and every visit helps.”

Common Backyard Weeds of the Pacific Northwest is Daniel’s first book with Adventure Publications. The book will be on sale July 2026!
