This week we’re in conversation with award-winning plantsman Riz Reyes of Washington State-based RH Horticulture and Landwave Gardens.

Riz is the current Assistant Director of Heronswood Garden and started his new role in May 2022. His duties include overseeing garden staff, volunteers, organizing garden events/plant sales, teaching lectures/workshops, and assists in maintaining and redesigning prominent sections of the gardens.

From his early inspirations as a child in the Philippines to his international horticultural studies, to his rich garden career in iconic horticultural landscapes across the Pacific Northwest, to his family-oriented picture book “GROW a Family Guide to Plants and How to Grow Them” (2022) – Riz’s stories and his inherent joy in living with plants will inspire you to grow more, too. Listen in!
