Katherine Olivia Sessions is responsible for much of the outdoor greenery in San Diego, CA. Sessions studied agriculture at the University of California at Berkeley, graduating with a bachelor of philosophy in nature in the 1880s. She came to San Diego as a high school teacher, but later opened a nursery that was the primary source for landscaping the Hotel del Coronado. Sessions also teamed with the landscape architect hired to design the San Diego City Park, and served as city gardener without salary for over 40 years.
