EmailA little about our newest team member
I graduated from the horticulture program at MSU in 2017, post-graduation I spent some time working at a florist in my hometown doing a little bit of everything. In 2018 I began working at Dow Gardens in Midland, MI. For five years I worked there as a horticulturist managing the area known as Stream Walk. I learned a lot about the day-to-day care and maintenance of all aspects of an intensive landscape. I also got the opportunity to do a lot of work with annuals for bedding plant displays and for container displays. In my work I’ve grown to really love the creativity that seasonal displays allow for. Unlike designing with perennials or with trees and shrubs you can change your mind about a design every year, you can get as crazy and creative as you want, and it only needs to last for a few months before you can start planning something completely new and different for the next year’s display. I look forward to the work I will get to do with the annual displays here at MSU.
When not at work I enjoy spending time with my two adorable cats. I also enjoy hiking, camping, and any other activities that mean I can be outside enjoying nature.
