Native Plants Program Coordinator and Outreach Coordinator, Board Member

Cherice Smithers

I am a native Floridian and field ecologist committed to promoting local biodiversity through the use of native plants in home gardens and landscapes. I have a MS in Interdisciplinary Ecology from the University of Florida where I studied the diversity of native bee communities in fire-maintained pine savannas. I started at Grow Hub in 2021, and have enjoyed working with the amazing staff, growing native plants, and helping with outreach and marketing to get the word out about this incredible place!
