"Growing up, I remember visiting the Garden each Mother's Day, walking through the lush conservatories, taking in the beauty of the spring blooms, and spending quality time with the ones I cherish. My love for the natural world and visits to the Garden influenced me to pursue a career in horticulture. It is sometimes hard to believe that my journey has taken me back to the land I once visited as a child. It is an absolute pleasure to be a part of the NEBG team caring for the gardens that inspired me and helping guests of all ages fall in love with nature.
