Podcast: “We’re ALL Plant People”

Date Jan 8, 2025
Published in At the Aquarium

The Aquarium requires the work of a lot of people to function. Some might not surprise you — animal care specialists, veterinarians, housekeeping, plumbers — but did you know our team also includes a pair of horticulturists?

It’s thanks to the tireless efforts of these plant experts that our exhibits mimic, as closely as possible, the natural environments our residents would call home in the wild. Normally, their work goes largely unnoticed by guests, but in this episode, we’re giving them a much-deserved moment in the spotlight!

 

Episode cast

  • Casey Phillips, Senior Communications Specialist, Host and Slayer of Orchids
  • Austin Prater, Senior Horticulturist
  • Jenna Paler, Horticulturist II
