To her delight, the garden was a success, and from there her love affair with plants grew - eventually leading her to pursue a degree in horticulture. Her career as a Horticulturist spans over 6 years working at places such as Cincinnati Parks, Green City Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, & Green City Resources.
