We all have a bucket list, right? Re-learning fly-fishing; seeing the Aurora Borealis, the pyramids, and Villa d’Este; and learning to play chess are on Dr. Mary Meyer’s bucket list. But what about a bucket list for horticulture – a list of the things we could do to advance our love of and life work with plants to help our world and everyone in it to eat well and thrive from being near plants? Yes, these could be big lofty goals or small personal steps. Meyer proposes it’s time we thought about these goals and individually or collectively we work toward them purposefully. Meyer has a horticulture bucket list to share with you, and she hopes her thoughts will inspire you to develop a horticulture bucket list that will continue to advance the wonderful field of horticulture.
