Hey there! My name is Alex, and I absolutely adore all things nature related. I went to Virginia Tech and graduated with degrees in Environmental Horticulture, and Landscape Contracting & Design, then came to work at NBG in 2014 and have been here ever since! I got my start in the Horticulture Deptartment, where I worked in over 20 different gardens for 4 years - specializing in native plants. My favorites include carnivorous plants, and I have a soft spot for hops as well. Now I teach a variety of classes and programs here and in the community, and focus on getting everyone else as excited about plants as I am through my work in the Education Department!
