2019 The Katharine M. Grosscup Scholarships in Horticulture
Robert Hammond is a junior at the University of Cincinnati studying horticulture. Native plants and how they interact in the ecosystem are his primary areas of focus. His current independent project is a study of the aster family in which he hopes to discover traits that make certain cultivars more appropriate for Ohio growers. He is also an assistant grower at a local wholesale grower with ve acres under glass and is passionate about educating growers about invasive species still being offered for sale. He would like to earn a master’s degree in plant ecology and work at a botanical garden educating the public about the role of plants in a healthy environment.
