Name: Aurielle Verville
PHC Program : 2022 Level 1 Program

Student background:
I have been a plant nerd for as long as I can remember. Gardening with my folks, studying the flora around my neighborhood, and climbing every tree I could find. I remember my elementary school had Hypericum perforatum growing around the playground, I would sit and study the curious flowers. My first gardening gig was when I was 16, I worked/lived on a vineyard for a summer. That was when I first fell in love with gardening.

Favorite part of the program so far:
Studying plant I.D. and botany

What you love about horticulture:
What I love about horticulture is that it teaches you why you do the things you intuitively do as a gardener, and gives you a deeper understanding of plants and how to care for them.

Top 3 favorite plants:
Akebia quinata, Cimicifuga ramosa, Echinops ritro

Inspiration (i.e. books, blogs, podcasts etc!):
Plants of Coastal British Columbia, Pojar + Mackinnon
Plants For Every Season, RHS
Easy Growing, Gayla Trail

Thank you Aurielle!
