Emily Alworth

Emily Alworth has the career of her dreams: She is a horticulturist at Red Butte Garden, at the University of Utah. She credits her professors from both Shepaug High School and Sarah Lawrence College for her solid science education, giving her the tools she needed to grow and maintain the newly created zero-scape garden at the University.

She enjoys everything about her work, from designing and installing her new garden, giving classes to students interested in all things botanical, and wrastling the occasional wayward rattlesnake.
