What Makes A Hero of Horticulture?

A Horticulture Hero has a passion for plants, is driven to understand and experiment with plants, and is not afraid to fail in pursuit of plant knowledge and discovery. Horticulture Heroes share their knowledge and enthusiasm with an ever-growing exchange of plants, knowledge, networking, and community building within the world of horticulture. With an eye for detail, keen observation skills, and persistent inquiry into the connections between plants, water, soil, living organisms, and the surrounding environment, Horticultural Heroes never stop learning. They are driven to improve the urban environment through their horticultural endeavors. Read on to learn more about some of our Heroes of Horticulture.
