Abby Denton
RISE Sustainable Built Environments Intern
Abby is a student at the University of Arizona and has lived in Tucson her entire life. As she first entered college, she originally intended to study nutrition. One particular class she took allowed her to tour farms and gardens located all around the city, and she fell in love with plants and the way they grow. Abby switched her major to study Sustainable Plant Systems, with an emphasis in Urban Horticulture. She hopes that after earning her degree, she will be able to teach others about the environment, plant cultivation, and plant care in the desert. In her free time, she enjoys working in her garden, reading mysteries, and cooking.
