Nick Ruby is our Horticulture Technician that helps manage care of the Botany Garden and works to maintain Botany Greenhouse plants year-round. He has been with us for almost 10 years. Nick grew up in Verona around farming and crop production. He is becoming an expert in organic lawn care in the Botany Garden. He is also our resident aquatic plant and fish care leader for our excellent set of ponds and aquaria. Being around the soothing atmosphere of plants and part of the plant education is why he likes working here.
