Carol L. Young

Artist, author and self-publisher Carol L. Young (A&S) published What Grows Here? Mountain Gardening in Northern California, which has sold more than 9,000 copies since appearing in 1986. Carol remembers her time at CU fondly. She says that when she first boarded a plane from California to attend CU, she stood up and asked, “Is there anyone here who is in the hiking club?” Three people stood up, and she remembers becoming an active member of CU’s hiking club after that. She lives in Winchester, Ore.
