An exclusive talk with horticulturist Riz Reyes
From The Philippines to the Pacific Northwest, and beyond
Rizaniño Reyes (‘Riz’ for short) is a horticulturalist, speaker, and educator who’s doing really interesting things with plants and flowers - like creating out-of-the-ordinary floral arrangements that incorporate rare and unusual plants, as well as leftovers and discarded blooms (waste not, want not!).
In this solo episode of The Plant Based Podcast, Riz talks me through his journey into horticulture, from his childhood in the tropical climes of The Philippines, to emigrating to the much milder Pacific Northwest, to creating an exciting career that feeds his creativity.
It’s split into two parts (because Zoom would only let us talk for a limited time!) so listen to parts 1 and 2 below:
