Leslie Alexander Appointed State Master Gardener Coordinator
The University of Connecticut Plant Science Department is very pleased and excited to announce the hiring of Leslie Alexander as the new State Master Gardener Program Coordinator.
Leslie comes to us with a strong horticultural background and much teaching experience. She received a B.S. in Biology from Framingham State College and her M.S. in Plant and Soil Science from the University of Massachusetts. She worked as a horticulturist on a private estate, and was the Director of Fuller Gardens in New Hampshire for 8 years where her responsibilities included garden maintenance and operations, budgets, personnel, volunteer coordination and fund-raising.
Leslie has taught middle school, high school and college level classes and last year, presented a Master Gardener training session. Since 2005, she has been employed on a half-time basis at the UConn Home & Garden Education Center where she has proven herself a dedicated, knowledgeable and much valued employee.
Leslie’s new full-time position will be split between the Center and the Master Gardener Program. Leslie has been extremely enthusiastic towards the Master Gardener Program and we consider ourselves very fortunate indeed to have her on board. Please give her a big welcome and congratulations when you see her.
