Rhetta Shoemaker received a thorough education of the natural world while growing up in rural New Mexico. Her love of nature continued at BYU and during her mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Tennessee. In her free time, she can often be found tending to too many houseplants, designing water-wise landscapes, developing sometimes successfully tasty vegetarian recipes, organizing everything but her bedroom, basking in Studio Ghibli films, and playing the guitar.
