Voices of Horticulture: Ricardo Hernandez

Ricardo Hernandez’s story is an inspirational journey of immigration, dedication, perseverance, and hard work that continues to shine light on unknown frontiers in horticulture. His story is exceptional.

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. Ricardo then joined Dr. Chieri Kubota’s program at the University of Arizona where he excelled at Plant Physiology and Controlled Environment Agriculture with minors in Agriculture and Biosystems Engineering and Entrepreneurship to become Dr. Ricardo Hernandez.
