Hauk Boyes

North Carolina State University

Hauk Boyes grew up in the Catskill Mountains of New York, where his family produced maple syrup and nurtured his early connection to agriculture. He earned his B.S. in Agricultural Sciences from Cornell University, where he was an active member of the horticulture club and discovered a strong interest in helping others connect with plants. Following graduation, Hauk gained hands-on experience in plant propagation at Longwood Gardens and then spent five years as the Production Supervisor at W. Atlee Burpees greenhouse. There, his involvement in greenhouse trials sparked a deeper curiosity about horticultural research. That curiosity led him to North Carolina State University, where he is currently pursuing a master’s degree and performing research in the Horticultural Substrates Laboratory. Hauk is committed to grower-focused, practical research and aims to support the development of sustainable practices for the future of greenhouse production.

George Buss

North Carolina State University

George Buss is an incoming graduate student at NC State University, where he will study under Dr. Brian Jackson. He recently completed his undergraduate degree at Florida Gulf Coast University, where he published eight peer-reviewed research papers focused on advancing Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) to help address global food insecurity. His research aims to develop innovative plant production systems that make freshly grown produce more accessible in urban and resource-limited communities. George’s passion for horticultural science is rooted in a lifelong appreciation for the natural world, inspired by childhood experiences including hiking, gardening, and exploring the outdoors with his family. His connection to the natural world fuels his mission to use science as a tool for environmental preservation and social good. He hopes to one day lead a research program that combines innovation with real-world impact, improving both the environment and the well-being of communities across the globe.

Marissa Deem

Blue Ridge Community College

Marissa Deem, originally from the Chicago, IL area, is currently pursuing an associate’s degree in Horticulture from Blue Ridge Community College in Flat Rock, NC. She works at the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research and Extension Center in Mills River, NC as a year-long intern with Dr. Ranney’s team, developing improved nursery crops. Her love for horticulture stems from childhood experiences working alongside her grandmother in the garden, visiting botanical gardens, and exploring her neighborhood marsh. This passion for beautiful plants has led to her concentration in ornamental plant breeding. After completing her A.A.S., she will continue her education at Western Carolina University, majoring in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Marissa’s ongoing research on native Appalachian plant species conducted in her home tissue culture lab, workplace, and academic settings aims to develop resilient wetland plants that combine beauty with utility, making them accessible to every gardener.

Greta Gallina University of Georgia

Greta Gallina is pursuing a Ph.D. in Horticulture at the University of Georgia under the advisement of Dr. John Ruter. She earned her B.S. degree from the University of Florida in Plant Science and her M.S. degree from Michigan State University in Horticulture, where her research focused on Christmas tree weed management. Currently, Greta’s research is in ornamental breeding, specially focusing on hardy hibiscus breeding, genetics, and metabolomics. In addition to plants, Greta is passionate about cats and has fostered 47 cats and kittens during her Ph.D. program. Ornamental plants provide so much joy, but they are generally poorly understood compared to crop plants. Greta plans to continue researching and advancing ornamental plants throughout her career and hopes to develop genetic and biotechnological resources to improve the knowledge and usability of these plants.

Olivia Liebing

The Ohio State University

Olivia Liebing earned her Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from Iowa State University in 2024. Her passion for plant production and research was cultivated through her work at a native tree and shrub nursery, in public gardens and arboretums, and in various labs. This has led her to pursue a master’s degree at The Ohio State University, focusing on increasing the efficiency of ornamental woody liner production. She is investigating ways to hasten adventitious rooting by optimizing daily light integral, root-zone heating, and foliar rooting hormone applications. Looking ahead, Olivia hopes to develop and share production practices that will enhance the success of nursery growers.

Matthew Post

North Carolina State University

Matthew Post recently graduated with a degree in Horticultural Sciences and a concentration in Production Systems from North Carolina State University. His passion for horticulture began while working with his grandparents at their small-scale family nursery. Matthew has served as a teaching assistant for the Greenhouse Management course at NCSU, in addition to an internship at the NCSU Conservatory, increasing his hands-on knowledge of controlled environment horticulture. Last summer, Matthew interned at Metrolina Greenhouses, the largest single-span glass greenhouse in North America. There, he gained industry experience in large-scale commercial floriculture production. He spent his final undergraduate semester abroad in Italy, studying regenerative and dynamic agriculture. Looking ahead, Matthew plans to enter the floriculture industry and hopes to educate future generations on the benefits of sustainable horticulture.

The Three Pillars of Profitability for Controlled Environmental Agriculture

Simone Valle de Souza

In recent years, the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) industry has faced significant economic challenges, with many large firms raising substantial capital yet failing to achieve sustainable profitability. Key obstacles were challenges associated with expensive capital given stringent ROI requirements, underdeveloped technological infrastructure lacking established best practices, and crop selections dictated by technological feasibility rather than market demand. These challenges can be framed through the DuPont model’s three pillars of profitability: net profit margin, asset turnover, and financial leverage, which respectively measure profitability, efficiency, and reliance on debt financing. In this talk, a case study will demonstrate how these components interact within the CEA sector, offering a comprehensive framework to evaluate trade-offs and inform strategic decision-making for both industry practitioners and academic researchers.

Biofungicides and Biostimulants: Friends with Benefits

Michael Brownbridge

Today we have access to a range of biological materials that can promote plant health in nursery and greenhouse production. Generally, these are divided into two classes: biopesticides and biostimulants.

Biopesticides are pest/disease management products and are regulated by the EPA. Biostimulant products improve nutrient availability, uptake or use efficiency, and tolerance to abiotic stress, but cannot pest or disease control claims. Typically, we consider these materials for different functions in plant production. But are there benefits to using these biologicals together?

There is increasing evidence that by using different biologicals together, we can promote plant health through the complementary benefits that each can bring to a program. Using working examples, this talk will provide attendees with relevant information on both groups of materials, how they can be used together, and insights to plant benefits that may be derived from their concurrent use.

Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens Tour

Monday, July 14 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 Cultivate badge will grant you free admission to Franklin Park Conservatory any time during Cultivate.

Unplugged

Monday, July 14 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 GenerationNext 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.

Bring your Cultivate badge to get a free drink ticket on us!
