With more than a decade of experience as a grower and propagator at leading nurseries such as Plant Delights and Camellia Forest, she combines her passion for plants and sustainable land management by communicating the value of horticulture. Brie has been dubbed a revolutionary for her leadership in the suburban Foodscape movement and for her work with public schools across the US. In 2017, Brie was honored as the first recipient of the The American Horticultural Society‘s Emerging Horticultural Professional Award and her first book, The Foodscape Revolution, was published by St Lynn’s Press.
