She also keeps track of the living collection by managing plant records and labeling notable plants for the public. Jess has worked in public gardens for a decade—she worked at Queens Botanical Garden, studied interpretation at Cornell Botanic Gardens and received an MPS in Horticulture specializing in Public Garden Leadership from Cornell University.
