Season 1 Episode 14: Conversation with Rachel Schnaitman, Associate Director of Horticulture Operations at Longwood Gardens

Keeping It Green

Longwood Gardens, a botanical garden outside of Kennet Square, PA, covers over 1,000 acres of land with gardens, meadows, and woodlands. That’s a lot of territory to manage and keep aesthetically pleasing! Meet Rachel, one of the key players that keep the place running and looking good! She’ll also talk about her previous role as Longwood’s IPM manager and use boxwood blight as an example of how they manage pest issues.
And what is a night gardener?
