Last month, we celebrated an incredible milestone for our Supervisor of Gardens, Morgan Potter: 20 years at QBG!
If you’ve spent any time at the Garden, you’ll know Morgan for her remarkable horticultural knowledge, her deep understanding of our spaces and botanical collections, and her warmth and willingness to share her knowledge with others — having mentored thousands of students, interns, and horticulture volunteers over the years.
Morgan started as an Assistant Gardener at QBG back in 2006, fresh out of the Professional Horticulture Program at Longwood Gardens, and has since become one of the most influential figures in our institution’s history: helping us to transform into the only fully-organic botanical Garden in NYC, designing (and re-designing) multiple gardens across our 39-acres, and creating much-needed habitat for our many native plant-and animal species.
Most recently, she spearheaded our horticultural Math in Bloom programming — a new initiative supported by the Simons Foundation to get people of all ages engaged with mathematical concepts in the natural world.
From the whole team at QBG, thank you for an amazing 20 years, Morgan! We’re honored to work alongside you every day.
