About Me
My hope is to educate my community on science-based horticulture and take the mysticism out of gardening. I want to get people excited about plants, growing their own food and caring for their environment. I hold a bachelor of science in horticulture business with a minor in entrepreneurship from Oklahoma State University, and a master of science in horticultural science with a minor in food science from North Carolina State University.
