Hobbies and Pastimes

Natalie is interested in everything PLANTS!; gardening, foraging, and annoying friends by stopping abruptly on hikes and bike rides around the Twin Cities to identify flowers. When the winter gets in the way of those things, she enjoys bouldering (inside) and cross-country skiing.
