About Me
- Hawthorn Hill
- This blog is the work of Craig N. Huegel, PhD. I am an environmental consultant and educator who loves plants. Though formally educated as a wildlife biologist, I am an enthusiastic gardener and have studied and worked with plants my entire life. I currently serve as the Director of the University of South Florida Botanical Gardens. Prior to this I taught in the Baccalaureate Biology Program at St. Petersburg College. I have written six books on Florida native plants - the most recent four with the University of Florida Press and I lecture throughout the state on a variety of topics related to plants and wildlife. I use my central Florida landscapes as laboratories to evaluate native plants and we grow a wide variety of species (mostly wildflowers) that are not commonly propagated elsewhere.in order to give us hands-on experience. Hawthorn Hill is not a retail plant nursery, but twice a year, I open my yard to public tours and make my extra plants available to the public. If you are interested in what I am currently growing, please email me for my current list at huegelc55@aol.com or give me a call at (727) 422-6583.
