Swiantek University of Georgia

Kaitlin

Kaitlin Swiantek is a Horticulture master’s student at the University of Georgia, working with Dr. John Ruter. Her research aims to breed Pycnanthemum (mountain mint) and add more information about the genus to the literature. Pycnanthemum is a pollinator-attractive plant with landscape-use potential. Kaitlin hopes introducing a pollinatorattractive plant into the landscape will draw attention to pollinator decline and help people support pollinators in their own communities. Kaitlin’s interest in horticulture began during her first year of college when she decided to take a plant and gardening class. The class introduced Kaitlin to ornamental breeding, a career that offered her the perfect mixture of art and science. She was captivated by ornamental breeding because it would allow her to explore scientific fields while feeding her creativity. Kaitlin loves horticulture because it is a versatile field that welcomes people from all professions, allowing for a diverse work environment and the opportunity to gain knowledge constantly. Kaitlin plans to continue merging ornamental breeding and pollinator conservation in her career as a plant breeder. She wants to cultivate plants that serve a role beyond aesthetics because a beautiful plant is great, but a beautiful plant that also improves society is even better.

Brandan Shur North Carolina State University

Brandan Shur has always had a passion for horticulture. Growing up on his family orchard in the mountains of North Carolina, he started working on the farm from the moment he could walk. This experience gave him a deep appreciation for the environmental challenges that the fruit industry can face and sparked his interest in pursuing a career in horticulture. Brandan obtained a bachelor’s degree in Horticultural Science with a concentration in Production Systems and Entrepreneurship, along with minors in Plant Biology and Biological Sciences, from North Carolina State University. During his undergraduate studies, he gained research experience in the Horticultural Substrates Lab, where he became intrigued by soilless production and the innovative techniques used to engineer sustainable growing media. He continued his work with substrates by pursuing a master’s degree in the same field, focusing on developing and optimizing soilless substrates for container production systems for soft fruit. Brandan’s passion for horticulture stems from his desire to use innovative techniques and sustainable practices to address environmental challenges and improve food production. He hopes to continue pursuing his research goals as a researcher, with the ultimate goal of making a positive impact on the world through his work.

Regan Draeger The Ohio State University

Regan Draeger is a recent graduate of The Ohio State University, where she obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Sustainable Plant Systems with a specialization in Horticulture, as well as her associate degree in Horticultural Science. She fell in love with horticulture after competing on her high school floriculture team, where she earned state and national titles. Afterward, she developed her own wedding design business. Regan also worked in several greenhouses over the past six years and recently interned with the Ohio State Master Gardener program, managing the online AskExtension platform. Regan is currently working as a landscape designer at Corso’s Landscape, while earning her master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications from the University of Tennessee with plans to graduate in 2025. She hopes to become an active contributor and pacesetter in this industry by developing landscapes that push design boundaries sustainable for our environment, which is becoming increasingly vital to the industry.

Taylor DeLand Ohio State Agricultural Technical Institute

Taylor DeLand is a secondyear student at Ohio State Agricultural Technical Institute. She is graduating in May with an associate degree in Greenhouse and Nursery Management with a Greenhouse major. She loves horticulture for many reasons. The main reason being the joy she gets from working with plants and working hard to develop a quality crop for customers. She loves to watch her crop grow from a small plant to flowering for sale, and to see the excitement on customers faces. She has been working in horticulture for 4 years learning many different skills. Her journey started out by attending the Columbiana County Career and Technical Center, studying landscape and environmental design. She wants to start by being a head grower for a couple years in a large-scale greenhouse. In the future she hopes to start a retail greenhouse somewhere near her hometown. Her business will focus on growing either spring annuals or a hydroponic production.

Armando Villa-Ignacio Colorado State University

Armando Villa-Ignacio is currently a graduate student in the Horticulture and Landscape Architecture department at Colorado State University under Dr. Jennifer Bousselot. He is currently pursuing an M.S. with plans to pursue a Ph.D. shortly after. He is studying Rooftop Agrivoltaics and aims to make rooftop agrivoltaics open and accessible. He found his love of plants at a young age and has continued to cultivate that passion into a lifelong career. In his downtime, he has a passion for music, specifically barbershop music, and sings with the Barbershop Harmony Society with his chorus, the Sound of the Rockies, and his quartet, My Favorite Quartet.

Hamilton Crockett Virginia Tech

Growing up as an Air Force kid, Hamilton Crockett, had the opportunity to travel the world, experiencing unique cultures and landscapes. She grew-up with an appreciation for nature, whether that be through hiking, snorkeling, or skiing. It wasn’t until she had the opportunity to take an IB Environmental Science class where she learned she could transform her love for nature into a career. She received her B.S. in Crop and Soil Science from Virginia Tech with minors in Environmental Science, Chinese, and French. While there, she was able to conduct collaborative undergraduate research in Austria (w/ TU Wein) and Virginia (w/ Schmale Lab). Currently, she is pursuing a master’s degree in plant pathology at Louisiana State University. Not only does she work in the LSU Plant Diagnostic Center (PDC), but she is conducting research at the PDC using molecular techniques to identify Oomycete species in woody ornamentals and trees across Louisiana. This research has already identified several unreported host associations, and this knowledge can be used in the mitigation of certain Oomycete infections for nurseries and homeowners. She is looking forward to working in the green industry investigating disease management/diagnosis, applying research to the field, and being involved in outreach.

Pesticide Applicator Recertification Credits

Cultivate’23 provides numerous opportunities to earn pesticide applicator continuing education credits. Each state varies by sessions approved and credits issued. For more information on the sessions and credits your state has approved, please visit AmericanHort.org/Cultivate/Recert.

**States that have approved credits: OH, IN, TN, WV, PA, MI, KY

How the Pesticide Recertification Program at Cultivate Works

Obtain and complete a recertification form.

Please check with the room moderator for assistance in completing recertification paperwork. You may have a separate sign-in sheet for your state. For those states approved to use the Ohio form: As you enter the educational sessions (you must be on time) you will obtain an Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) Pesticide Recertification Form. This form must be completed for each pesticide recertification session attended. The form must be filled out completely and signed. The form is not valid without a signature.

Obtain session code.

At the end of the session, the Session Code will be announced. This code must be written on the ODA form near the bottom under the Session Codes area.

Return completed form to receive certificate.

At the conclusion of the session, return your completed form to the room monitor, and you will be presented a Certificate of Attendance to retain for your records. Attendees from self-reporting states should submit the Certificate of Attendance to their state’s licensing agency.

Visit AmericanHort.org/Cultivate/Recert

Please read each session description carefully to confirm which state has approved the session for recertification credit.

Planting for pollinators is a growing trend. Garden magazines and media channels are abuzz with recommendations for attracting and supporting pollinators in gardens and landscapes, both public and private. Consumer awareness of the essential role that bees, butterflies, moths, spiders, and other pollinators play in our ecosystem is at an all-time high. Though most research for determining the best nectar and pollen sources is focused on perennials and annuals, recent studies have identified a number of tree species preferred by bees and pollinators. Gardeners can take their new-found pollinator passion to new heights by offering a season-long tree menu. This baker’s dozen of native and adapted trees that take turns blooming from early spring until fall will give garden center buyers, city foresters, landscape designers, and other specifiers a head start on inviting pollinator guests to the garden.

Assessing the State of the Art and Science of Buddleia Breeding with a Focus on Sterility and Regulation

Ryan Contreras

Buddleja davidii is prized by gardeners for their long flowering season, variety of colors, and pollinator attraction. Unfortunately, the species has escaped cultivation including in Oregon where it has degraded riparian habitat. Breeders have addressed its weediness by developing cultivars using hybridization and polyploidization, some of which have been introduced as seedless or nearly so. Oregon has approved more than a dozen of these cultivars, some based on “sterility” and some due to their hybrid nature. However, methods to evaluate fertility of cultivars are not standardized, something researchers across the country are currently proposing. Dr. Contreras will discuss HRI-funded research conducted to evaluate a large suite of cultivars and the implications on future breeding efforts. Additionally, he will discuss what these findings mean for future regulation of other banned taxa in Oregon and beyond.

Hardy Hibiscus and Asclepias Breeding

John

Ruter

New selections of ornamental plants are the lifeblood of the industry. Consumers are interested in environmental stewardship and want the latest and greatest plants with larger flowers, disease and insect resistance, improved drought tolerance, and other economic traits. Hardy hibiscus is native to the eastern United States and can be grown from Minnesota to Florida. Our research program has focused on developing compact, early-emerging selections with purple foliage, disease resistance, and tolerance to hibiscus sawflies. Interspecific hybridization and ploidy manipulation have been used to make improved selections. Future work will focus on the introgression of additional species and mutation breeding. Recent research using butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) crossed with four other species had led to new growth forms and novel flower colors for the genus. All first-generation hybrids have been sterile, but this may be a good thing from an ecological standpoint.

Cultivating Cultivars: Urban Tree Cultivar Development

Nancy

Buley

It’s a long and complex journey from seed to city tree. Many hands and a decade or more are needed to grow a tree from start to finish. It takes even longer to develop, select, trial, and introduce new and improved cultivars. Bringing new and improved urban tree cultivars to market is a multi-generational effort that may take 15–30 years or more, via the collaborative efforts of plant breeders, growers, urban foresters, arboreta, and academia. A changing climate adds urgency to the search for tough, resilient, adaptable urban trees. Understanding the timeline and processes of new tree introduction and the how and why of cultivar development will help growers, retailers, designers, and specifiers plan for choosing, growing, and planting the best trees for the future urban forest.

Production Planning: Not a Guessing Game Anymore

Rayne

Gibson

Production planning is a crucial element in the success of nurseries, allowing them to optimize the growth of their plants while minimizing costs. For business owners and managers in the nursery industry, it’s essential to understand the importance of production planning and how it can be applied to their operations. The first step in production planning is gathering information. The next step is understanding the information. This allows nursery managers to forecast demand, estimate production costs, and allocate resources accordingly. By understanding the information, nursery managers can make informed decisions that lead to better results. The final step is the application of production planning. Using the information and insights gathered, nursery managers can create a production plan that outlines the resources needed, production timelines, and expected outcomes. This plan can help to optimize plant growth, reduce waste, and increase profits.

Transparent Solar Cell Design for Greenhouses

Erik Runkle

Semi-transparent photovoltaics have potential greenhouse applications to simultaneously generate electricity while transmitting light for crop production. However, there are key differences between the photopic response of the human eye and the photon action response of plants that need to be considered, as these devices are designed specifically for greenhouse applications. In this session, we report on our investigation into the optical impact of various wavelengths on a range of horticultural crop species. This is the first step to optimize transparent solar cells designed to maximize both plant productivity and electricity generation in the same area for worldwide adoptability.

Embrace Nature to Dramatically Improve Processes

Della

Fetzer

Have you ever researched, planned, and implemented a genius process improvement solution…only to watch one small glitch cause another, and another, until the whole process falls into disarray? If you’ve ever experienced this, you’re not alone. Process improvement can be a challenging task in horticulture, especially amid pressures to adopt smart technologies and lean manufacturing practices during a critical labor shortage. Is it even possible to improve processes during such rapid times of change?

The answer is yes, and the solution is simpler than you might think: Embrace Nature. Horticulturists intuitively embrace the nature of plants, but it’s easy to overlook the other types of nature which determine the success of our processes. This session will teach participants key lessons, questions, and exercises to align the nature of processes, the nature of people, and the nature of plants, to dramatically improve processes at their core.

Cultivate Connections

What makes Cultivate so great is all of the connections that are built here and continue to grow every single year. This is the one place where the entire industry gathers each July to meet up with old friends and make a few new ones. With so many networking opportunities over the course of the next few days, you’re bound to leave with a few more business cards and some new friends.

We’re excited you’re here, and we can’t wait to meet you at one of the many networking events during Cultivate’23.

OSU Cultivar Trials

Saturday, July 15 from 4:30–7:00 PM Depart from Connector

Unleash your inner plant nerd and assess 300 annual and perennial varieties on display at The Ohio State University Cultivar Trials. See how they grow in typical Central-Ohio environmental conditions, and evaluate their growth in containers, landscape beds, and hanging basics. Also be sure to check out Howlett Hall’s green roof.

Free shuttle rides from the Convention Center are available at the Transportation Desk in the Connector beginning at 5:00 PM—final departure from OSU back to downtown Columbus is at 7:00 PM. Open to all attendees.

Retailers’ Choice Awards by Garden Center Group

Monday, July 17 at 3:00 PM

Cultivate Live! Stage, on trade show floor

AmericanHort is pleased to once again partner with The Garden Center Group to bring you the Retailers’ Choice Awards at Cultivate’23. These awards showcase the best new products to bring excitement and a high level of interest to garden retail stores in the coming season. Products are chosen by volunteer judges who search the Cultivate’23 trade show floor for award-winning products. Awards will be announced at this special program on Monday afternoon at the Cultivate Live! Stage.

Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens Tour

Monday, July 17 from 5:00–7:30 PM

Depart from Connector

If experiencing landscapes, botanic gardens, and conservatories makes your heart sing, you’ll want to be sure to check out Columbus’ own Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Garden. Hop a free shuttle and go exploring. You have our permission to get totally excited about an evening in the garden. Once onsite, there are 2 tour options available:

• Tour of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden—this 2-acre garden is the largest horticulture project ever undertaken by the Conservatory. Featuring sixteen different interactive experiences celebrating the Ohio landscape, the Garden’s focus is on introducing and connecting children to the natural world, as well as renewing that connection for their parents and caregivers.

Tour of the Conservatory—the Conservatory’s extensive gardens and art collections pulse with life and bring the truly exotic wonders of nature right to you. Explore over 400 species of plants from around the world.

Free shuttle rides from the Convention Center are available at the Transportation Desk in the Connector beginning at 5:00 PM. Final departure from Franklin Park Conservatory back to downtown Columbus is at 7:30 PM. Open to all attendees.

If you can’t join the tours on Monday, your registration pass will grant you free admission to Franklin Park Conservatory any time during Cultivate.

Unplugged

Monday, July 17 from 8:00–10:00 PM Gaswerks, 487 Park Street

Networking is everything, but sometimes in a sea of thousands of attendees it’s hard to break the ice. Come to Cultivate’s popular Unplugged event where you can relax, be yourself, and meet people with the same passion for plants, ambition for success, and hopes for the future.

Unplugged is also an opportunity for celebration! The GrowerTalks/Ball Horticultural Company Young Grower Award and Green Profit/The Garden Center Group Young Retailer Award are presented to worthy candidates that demonstrate passion, creativity, leadership, and a desire to excel.

Hosted by the AmericanHort GenNext Community, all emerging professionals are encouraged to make this THE networking event of their Cultivate experience. Of course, all professionals, both the young and young at heart, are welcome.
