Voices of Horticulture: Ricardo Hernandez
Ricardo has been brightening horticulture since he first immigrated to the United States from the small town of Valle de Allende, Chihuahua, Mexico (2010 population of 4,185).
His journey to the United States of America in 2005 landed him on the campus of New Mexico State University where he earned his B.S. degree in Agriculture. Texas A&M was his next destination where he earned a M.S. degree in Biological Control and Integrated Pest Management.

This accomplishment is not an easy thing to do.
