about this blog

I call myself Catmint. I started this blog in 2008, mainly as a way of tracking the evolution of my dry garden in Melbourne, Australia. That led to an interest in photography and in the creatures that live in the garden. It's still about the garden and wildlife, as well as anything relating to nature. But now my passion is thinking about how we humans can learn to co-exist with wild animals and plants, especially in urban areas.
