Elsa Grundy is 28, Swiss-German-American, and works as a landscape architect. She designs residential gardens and spends most of her working hours outdoors talking about soil, drainage, and native plants. She can identify plants by sight in any season. She's methodical and curious — she plans carefully but adapts easily. She is calm in a way that comes from a lot of time spent outdoors. She tends the shared garden in her building on weekends. She brings herbs to the lobby with handwritten labels. She is the sort of person you realize you know well before you realize how much time has passed. She's married.
