Cultivate'26 On-Site Guide

Improves nutrient-use efficiency

Mycorrhizae for Growers

MycoApply® Mycorrhizal Fungi are fascinating microbes that form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots. They seek out water, nutrients, and other resources that would otherwise be unavailable or difficult for the plant to access.

MycoApply® has many benefits for operations that grow or finish plants - from seed, cutting, plug, or bare root.

Increases transplant survival rates and establishment rates

Increases water absorption and drought resistance

Decreases susceptibility to transportation stress

Optimizes plant performance

Reece L. Bailey Colorado State University

Reece is currently pursuing his Master of Science at Colorado State University where he is studying horticulture and researching the introduction of saffron as a high value, low-input crop in the western part of the US.

He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology at MSU Denver, where he conducted research studies on the native flora of Colorado, focusing on exurban and urban habitats, designed novel mycelium-based building materials, and led a pilot study on saffron cultivation in green roof and roof top agrivoltaics systems.

Reece is also a sculptor, with an interest in creating biological art that celebrates and explores the complex systems and interrelationships underlying life. After earning his MS he envisions utilizing plants as infrastructure to design resilient built environments that are ecologically diverse, use bio-based materials, function to provide natural ecosystem services, and regenerate the landscape.

John Carter North Carolina State University

John Carter is a senior at NC State completing a B.S. in Horticultural Science and Plant Biology with minors in Agribusiness Management and Entomology. Raised on a family farm, John discovered a love for plants between his mother’s gardens and his father’s fields. This curiosity has since grown into a commitment to sustainable, community-centered horticulture.

From interning at public gardens to managing greenhouses and floriculture projects at NCSUs Agroecology Farm, he brings hands-on experience across production, public education, and retail operations.

John hopes to one day operate a greenhouse business specializing in native species, edible ornamentals, and pollinator-friendly plants. He looks forward to connecting with industry leaders and gaining exposure to large-scale greenhouse operations that will inform a future built around conscientious, community-rooted growing.

Hear from the HortScholars on areas for opportunity and advancement in horticulture. Then explore what the next generation of employees are looking for when they are considering applying for positions in the green industry.

Ellie Gregoire

Virginia Tech

Ellie Gregoire graduated with a Bachelor's in Horticulture with a minor in Plant Health Sciences from Virginia Tech. She started her research in undergrad surrounding the evaluation of substrates within controlled environmental agriculture.

In her current pursuit of a Master's degree, her research continues to be focused on the evaluation of novel crops within hydroponic production systems. Her hope is to bridge the gap between traditional agriculture and controlled environmental agriculture to bring innovation to vegetable crop production. Her love for horticulture started in 2019 with ornamental nursery production and ornamental greenhouse production, which led her to pursue a career in horticulture. She is excited to bring innovative ideas and fresh perspectives to the horticulture industry, starting with her passion for both plants and people. She believes resilience starts with strong community connections that can be fostered by a shared love for all things plants.

Mason Marshall

Texas A&M University

Mason Marshall is a Ph.D. candidate in the Horticultural Sciences at Texas A&M University, specializing in ornamental plant production, crop evaluation, and postharvest horticulture.

His doctoral research focuses on enhancing the commercial viability and aesthetic appeal of Ratibida columnifera, a native North American wildflower with strong potential for expanded use in both ornamental landscapes and the specialty cut flower market. Through field, greenhouse, and postharvest studies, he is working to identify selections with improved performance, ornamental value, and market potential.

Mason is especially interested in helping bridge the gap between research and industry application. He hopes to work in the private horticulture industry as a specialist focused on trialing new genetics and products, evaluating their performance, and helping growers solve production challenges. He is driven by the opportunity to support innovation, and contribute meaningful solutions that benefit growers, businesses, and consumers alike.

Edilzon Ramirez University of Florida

Edilzon Ramirez is a thirdyear Plant Science student at the University of Florida with a strong passion for horticulture that grew from hands-on industry experience. He began working in a plant nursery with no prior plant knowledge, where he pulled weeds and swept floors. His curiosity was sparked by observing growers care for their crops.

That curiosity led Edilzon to pursue an associate degree in horticulture and complete multiple internships, where he contributed to plant trials and projects focused on improving efficiency and reducing costs. He values learning from every task and believes no job is too big or too small.

At UF, he continues this involvement as a Plant Science ambassador. In the future, he hopes to work at a horticulture establishment where he can mentor a new generation of interns. He is also looking forward to gaining more hands-on experience as an assistant grower with a poinsettia growing team this fall.

Cassidy Williams Durham College

Cassidy Williams is a recent graduate of the Horticulture Technician program at Durham College in Whitby, ON, Canada. Originally from Toronto, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Her transition into plant science reflects a deeper calling to support human well-being in more holistic and restorative ways.

She will be pursuing an internship at Metrolina Greenhouses through The Ohio State University, where she aims to develop her skills in large-scale greenhouse production. She is particularly interested in greenhouse operations, plant production systems, and biophilic design, exploring how plants can transform not only physical spaces, but also the way people feel, think, and live.

She is driven by a vision to create environments that go beyond aesthetics and productivity, inviting people to slow down, reconnect, and explore the deeper desires of their hearts. She hopes to build a career in greenhouse management that is innovative and rooted in meaningful impact.

Are Plant Haters Just Misunderstood? Bottom-Up

Retail Influences That Affect the Consumer Experience

Sponsored by:

Melinda Knuth

Why do some consumers appear to “hate” plants—or at least avoid buying them again? While retailers often assume dissatisfaction stems from demographics or shopping channels, new research suggests otherwise. Drawing on Net Promoter Score (NPS) frameworks, this study examines “Detractors” (low scorers) and “Promoters” (high scorers) among U.S. plant purchasers to uncover the roots of dissatisfaction and disengagement.

A survey of 1,940 consumers compared demographic, behavioral, and perceptual differences between Detractors and Promoters. Contrary to conventional wisdom, demographics such as age, gender, income, or ethnicity did not differentiate the two groups. Likewise, purchase channel (online versus in-store) was not predictive. Instead, outcomes tied directly to the purchase experience proved decisive.

Ultimately, plant haters may be less misunderstood than underserved. By shifting focus from who customers are to what happens during and after their purchase, the horticulture industry can transform fragile first impressions into enduring plant enthusiasm.

The Fascinating Ways that Plants Move

Bob Geneve

Ask an average person about the differences between a plant and an animal and you may get answers about the way they eat or reproduce, but eventually they will indicate that animals move around from place to place and plants do not move. This is superficially accurate because most individual plants are rooted in the ground in one place, but obviously, plants collectively as a species can move considerable distances as seeds or fruits. A localized example includes seeds that are wind dispersed. An extreme example would be drift seeds that travel between islands and even continents floating in the ocean. Less obvious are those movements that plants make while appearing stationary because the movements are imperceptibly slow or randomly very fast. We will discuss these movements categorized as circumnutation, tropism, or nastic movements to gain some insight into how and why plants move.

Weed Management for Container-Grown Hydrangea: Safe and Effective Options

Anthony Witcher

Hydrangea continues to rank among the most popular and valuable landscape shrubs, yet effective weed management in container production remains a persistent challenge. While many growers rely on pre-emergent herbicides for other deciduous shrubs, hydrangea is highly sensitive to numerous active ingredients, and only a limited number of products are currently labeled for safe use. As a result, producers often fall back on manual hand weeding, which is both labor intensive and costly. This session will share research findings and on-farm trial results identifying granular pre-emergent herbicide products that are safe for use on the four predominant hydrangea species in nursery production. Attendees will gain practical insights to evaluate and select herbicides that support weed suppression without injuring plants. Participants will leave prepared to test recommended products on a small group of plants and implement them confidently and responsibly in commercial production systems.

LEAPing Forward: Balancing Costs and Gains

- Evaluating the Economic Feasibility of LowCost Labor-Saving Technologies in Nurseries

Margarita Velandia

In an era of rising labor costs and workforce shortages, nursery producers are increasingly turning to affordable labor-saving technologies as a strategic solution. This session will present information about the economic feasibility of adopting low-cost mechanization tools in nursery operations. Using information from nursery case studies, interviews, and partial and capital budget valuation analyses, our speaker will discuss the economic feasibility of adopting a specific herbicide applicator and a fertilizer dispenser for container production. Attendees will gain practical insights into making informed decisions about integrating labor-saving solutions tailored to their operation size, crop type, and budget constraints.

This session is part of the L.E.A.P. (Labor, Engineering, Automation, Production) research team’s multi-state evaluation of low-cost, off-the-shelf technologies for fertilizer, herbicide, and irrigation management. This series provides a broader view of how these tools perform across production systems.

Understanding the Offshore Greenhouse Certification Program (OGCP): Requirements, Benefits, and What Industry Needs to Know

Karelyn

Cruz

This session will provide an overview of the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)’s Offshore Greenhouse Certification Program (OGCP), a voluntary program for generally admissible unrooted cuttings. The talk will cover the program’s requirements— including facility certification standards, approved plant taxa, and documentation needed for eligible shipments—and explain how certified offshore production can effectively mitigate pest risks before plants arrive in the United States. Participants will also learn about the program’s key benefits, such as reduced inspection frequency at APHIS plant inspection stations for qualifying shipments, and how OGCP supports safe, efficient trade through collaboration between industry, APHIS, and partner national plant protection organizations.

Before the Storm: Common Sense Business Continuity Planning for Horticulture Business Owners [Extended Session]

Chris

Cimaglio, Ken Lane

Disaster planning for weather events and infrastructure failure is just common sense. What many business continuity plans lack is practical recommendations for when the owner isn’t available to lead. An owner’s death or disability can lead to business failure, with repercussions for family, employees, and customers. If something happened tomorrow, would your team know how to keep operations running? Would your family know who to call and what decisions to make?

This high-impact, extended session offers a framework for “keeping the lights on during a storm.” You’ll learn why smart continuity planning is essential not just for natural disasters, but for the 5Ds: Death, Disability, Divorce, Disagreement, and Distress that can derail your life’s work.

You’ll walk away wth:

∙ A ready-to-use Business Continuity Instructions worksheet

Strategies for both short-term crisis response and long-term business stability

Immediate steps to safeguard your business and employees and protect your family’s future.

LEAPing Forward: Affordable Off-the-Shelf Technologies for Irrigation and Fertilizer Application - Time Saver or Time Sink?

Amy Fulcher

Numerous low-cost tools on the market promise to improve efficiency in fertilizer and irrigation management, yet adoption across the nursery industry remains inconsistent. Many growers question whether these technologies offer meaningful time savings or just another gadget. This session will share findings from evaluations comparing traditional manual methods, such as spoon-applying fertilizer and hand-turning irrigation valves on and off, with the use of fertilizer dispensers and automatic wireless irrigation timers. We’ll walk attendees through the practical realities of implementing these tools, including application accuracy and worker perspectives such as comfort of each option. Data documenting efficiency gains will be presented. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of affordable automation options.

This session is part of the L.E.A.P. (Labor, Engineering, Automation, Production) research team’s multi-state evaluation of low-cost, off-the-shelf technologies for fertilizer, herbicide, and irrigation management. This series provides a broader view of how these tools perform across production systems.

LEAPing Forward: Manual Mode - Why Some Growers Say No to Irrigation Timers

Laura Warner, Vashti Tatman

Irrigation timers are widely available, easy to access, and relatively low-cost. Yet many nurseries choose not to use them even knowing their potential benefits. This session will explore why. Drawing from interviews and survey data with nursery producers, we’ll share insights behind some growers’ continued preference for manual irrigation valve control. The session will highlight factors that influence management decisions, along with growers’ lived experiences using timers in the past. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the specific considerations that shape technology adoption beyond simple cost-benefit calculations. You’ll leave with an appreciation for the human dimensions behind manual irrigation decisions and a clearer sense of when automation may not align with specific production priorities.

This session is part of the L.E.A.P. research team’s multi-state evaluation of low-cost, off-the-shelf technologies for fertilizer, herbicide, and irrigation management. This series provides a broader view of how these tools perform across production systems.
