Published 01.30.2024
In the latest episode of the Tomorrow Makers podcast, Carl Bower Jr., assistant professor of horticulture, discusses his journey to Penn College and what drew him to the dynamic field he loves so much. For those considering a career in landscaping or plant production, or those who simply enjoy gardening at home, give a listen to this engaging conversation.
In "The Science & Art of Growing," Carl shares his path from being the first Penn College student to intern at Longwood Gardens to becoming a passionate college educator (and everyone's on-call "plant doctor"). In a spirited chat with Tomorrow Makers podcast co-hosts Sumer Beatty and Carlos Ramos, he talks about his endless experimentation and the endless avenues in the horticulture field. The trio also banter about a range of plants, growing experiences and entrepreneurial ideas – a cultivating conversation, indeed.
