-Biography-
Hi. My name is Seth. My last name is Blowers,
like flowers (or flours (isn't the English
language creative?)) I was born in a small town
in southern Minnesota. But my memory of all that
is a little hazy. My family decided to move to
Oregon early in my life for the trees and
mountains and stuff. I grew up surrounded by
three acres of woods inside Portland. I've spent
the last 4 years working at a plant nursery,
traveling off and on, going to PSU part-time,
living in little apartments downtown and planting
vegetables anywhere I can. I like to ride my
bicycle and I may never own a car (I hope). My
educational interests are many but I have focused
mainly on anthropology and the social sciences in
my college career. At the moment I am trying to
figure out how I could make a living designing
and cultivating low-maintenance, self-renewing
landscapes that sustain humans and emulate
natural systems a.k.a. "permaculture" (create
link). I've also toyed with other vocational
ideas such as starting a restaurant or pursuing a
career in holistic medicine, but I really have no
plan for which direction I will go after getting
my bachelors degree (but I might go east). I feel
extremely lucky for the opportunity to be a
mentor soon. I've never done anything like it and
I anticipate learning a lot. Seth out
