Summary
Katherine Sessions never thought she’d live in a place without trees, but after becoming the first woman to graduate from the University of California with a degree in science, she took a job as a teacher in the dry desert… town of San Diego. Kate decided that San Diego needed trees more than anything else, so this trailblazing young woman singlehandedly started a massive movement that transformed the town into the green, garden-filled oasis it is today.
