Episode 4: Russ Plowman- Floral Design, the Future of Horticulture, and Untimely Deadheading

What's up, Plant People? To some, horticulture may seem like a dying field. Russ Plowman doesn't agree and thinks the future actually looks bright, as horticulturists will become more and more important as populations grow and the climate changes. Listen in for a great discussion about the many and various things one could do in horticulture, like floral design, nursery growing, landscape design, food production, education, and much more. Turns out, Russ Plowman has done pretty much all of those things. He's the leader of the Texas Tech Floral Design program and Ornamental Horticulture Research Group, an instructor of horticulture, and a long time and accomplished business owner in the field. Settle in with your favorite headphones or speakers, grab a snack, and get ready to learn a little more about plants!
