Elizabeth Beans, Naples Botanical Garden’s Horticulturist and Volunteer Coordinator, joined the Garden in January 2017. An Ohio native, she acquired her B.A. from Miami University in Botany and Environmental Science (’14). Upon graduation she jumped right into field work with a wide range of botany-related internships. She first began as garden manager at a vegetable garden in Ohio, which was dedicated to donating 100% of its produce to the local food banks and shelters. She then spent a year on Sanibel Island, at the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation’s Native Plant Nursery where she learned about and fell in love with our Southwest Florida natives. She moved one more time before returning to Southwest Florida, to work at Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company in Missouri, a seed company that preserves the world’s rarest seeds. There she learned about the intricacy of seed-saving from their local seed expert. A seamstress, painter, drawer, and creator, she spends most of her free time crafting and tending to her many houseplants.
