The People That Make It Happen

Katie McCarver, Trial Manager, mccarve4@msu.edu

Katie joined our staff in March, 2010 and is now in charge of our great display of Trial plants!

Leah Potter - Weight and Shelby Shay - 2012 Summer interns in the Annual Trial Gardens

Leah and Shelby have done their fair share of sweating this summer! With no rain for close to two months and temperatures in the 90s, they are doing a great job keeping the plants alive and doing well. They also do a great deal of planting, weeding, and other maintenance as required. Both have helped in plant evaluation this summer.

Art Cameron, Trial Garden Director, cameron@msu.edu 

Art works closely with Katie and Dan to ensure that the trials and this website are going smoothly! He is also Director of the MSU Horticulture Gardens and Professor of Horticulture. 

Dan Bulkowski, Greenhouse and Garden Manager, bulkows1@msu.edu

Our fearless leader in the greenhouse and the garden. An impossible job – but he manages to pull it off – and with a smile!  Dan often pitches in to help on various aspects of the trial gardens.

Our MSU Horticulture Garden Volunteers

Each Tuesday, our faithful volunteers show up for 3 hours to help on numerous garden activities. They accomplish a great deal and we appreciate all their help!
