Grower to Grower Podcast: Leaders in Floriculture Featuring AmericanHort

By Brian D. Sparks|April 4, 2026

Greenhouse Grower’s Grower to Grower podcast brings you real conversations with the voices driving the future of floriculture. In every episode, we connect with the growers, leaders and innovators who are shaping smarter operations, sustainable growth, and breakthrough strategies. From advanced technology and next-gen plants to business challenges and changing consumer patterns, we dig into what it really means to grow.

The floriculture industry never stops innovating, and that includes growers as well as industry suppliers. This episode is the fourth and final part of our Leaders in Floriculture podcast series, where we talk to experts in the green industry community about the important roles they play in innovation, sustainability, and helping to shape the future of floriculture. In this episode, I talk to AmericanHort President and CEO Ken Fisher, Vice President of Advocacy and Government Affairs Matt Mika, and Vice President of Marketing and Member Engagement Mary Beth Cowardin, about AmericanHort’s vision for the future of the green industry, how it’s changing the ways it communicates with and educates its members, and how AmericanHort is helping to build the next generation of industry leaders.
