About Andy:
Andy’s passion for nature and ecology was formed in Western Canada from a youth of back country hiking. Wanting to make his passion for plants a career, he completed the Horticulture program at the UBC Botanical Garden, he went on to intern at the Summerland Ornamental Gardens, and Tucson Botanical Gardens. Settling back at the UBC Botanical Garden in Vancouver, Andy quickly acknowledged the significance of trees in the Pacific Northwest and began training as an arborist with the International Trade Authority, as he believes arboriculture and horticulture are inherently linked. But one question remained on his mind: how can we do better for the environment with our public spaces?
