David Sellars is an award winning photographer and is a Past-President of the Alpine Garden Club of British Columbia. Together with his wife, Wendy, he is developing an alpine and woodland garden in coastal British Columbia. The garden received the Millstream Garden Award for Rock and Alpine Garden in 2012 and was featured in the Fall 2013 issue of the Rock Garden Quarterly.

David is a keen mountain hiker and developed the website www.mountainflora.ca now maintained by the Alpine Garden Club of BC.  His particular interests are rock garden design and construction, alpine plant photography and using video to illustrate mountain landscapes and alpine plant habitats. His YouTube Channel features wildflower hikes and some garden videos:  https://www.youtube.com/user/MountainFlora

He has written articles on rock garden design and alpine plant explorations for the NARGS Rock Garden Quarterly, the International Rock Gardener, the Alpine Garden Club of BC Bulletin and the Saxifrage Magazine. A selection of his photographs were published in the wildflower guide Alpine Plants of British Columbia, Alberta and Northwest North America.  Some of his photographs are also included in a new edition of Arthur Kruckeberg’s Gardening with Native Plants of the Pacific Northwest and the recently published book The Crevice Garden by Kenton Seth and Paul Spriggs.
