Care for plants, people, and changing environments.

Plant & Place is a plant care, landscape, and climate resilience practice based in San Francisco, led by ecologist and plant-lover Chris Kennedy.

We offer indoor plant care, outdoor landscape guidance, and climate-adapted planting strategies tailored to your space, lifestyle, and local conditions. From low-light apartments to small patios, balconies, gardens, and drought-tolerant landscapes, we help you create environments that are easier to care for and better suited to where you live.

Plants should make your life better, not more stressful.

Hi, I’m Chris.

Ecologist & Climate Strategist

I’m a climate strategist and gardener who loves plants. I mean really loves plants. I’ve spent more than 15 years helping people and organizations understand how to care for their houseplants, urban gardens and local communities.

I believe caring for nature should feel accessible, useful, and maybe even fun. The same skills that help us care for a houseplant also help us build healthier gardens, stronger communities, and more resilient responses to climate change.

Whether you’re looking for help choosing the right plants for your home, creating a more climate-adapted landscape, or understanding risks facing your community, my goal is to provide clear, practical guidance that helps you move forward with confidence. No green thumb required.
