Seed Your Future appoints new National Leadership Cabinet members

Seed Your Future announced the appointment of six new members to their National Leadership Cabinet. This appointment brings the number of leadership members to 16.

• Mark Schermer, head of flowers at Syngenta

Each new member has years of experience uplifting the array of professions in horticulture and floriculture. With their support and direction, Seed Your Future will reach more students and young adults.

“We are excited to find more ways to connect job seekers with industry job openings in all disciplines of the supply chain,” said Jazmin Albarran, executive director of Seed Your Future.

Seed Your Future joined forces with the Society of American Florists in 2021 to promote increased awareness of horticulture and floriculture and inspire more people to pursue careers working with flowers and plants.

In addition to its ongoing programs to inspire people to pursue careers working with plants and flowers, Seed Your Future has several new initiatives planned for 2022:

• Hosting the fifth year of the Plant Mash-up contest for middle schoolers across the country. The contest gives students the opportunity to see themselves as problem-solvers, learn they can impact their community and have fun with plants and flowers. 

Stay tuned for more from Jazmin Albarran in the March issue of Garden Center magazine where she talks about the Great Resignation and how garden centers can use this opportunity to find new employees.
