Jason Reeves

Anyone who has ever visited Jason Reeves (curator of the University of Tennessee Gardens at the West Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center in Jackson) knows two things: the man knows his plants, and there is literally no one that can build a more impressive garden display. Whether it’s a house built out of hundreds of winter squash or a multi-story glass bottle wall, the imagination Jason puts into the UT Gardens is unrivaled. When Jason is not lecturing around the country on various horticulture topics, you’ll likely find him in the fields evaluating plants for UT’s plant trials.
