HANNAH PALMER
Hannah is an Ornamental Horticulture student at Cuyamaca College. She graduates this June with A.S. degrees in Nursery Technology, Landscape Technology, and Sustainable Urban Landscapes. Hannah will be transferring to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo this fall to complete a B.S. in Plant Science with a concentration on Environmental Horticulture Science. She is thrilled to start this new chapter in her educational journey and hopes to continue working in the horticulture field, especially in public parks and gardens. Hannah currently works at the Water Conservation Garden as a landscape and facilities assistant, but she has been a lifelong gardener. Her first introduction to horticulture was tending to a spring vegetable garden each year with her grandmother. She can often be found playing with her dog Odie or tending to her many houseplants!
