About Our Speaker: Nicholas Staddon
As the director of Monrovia’s new plants program, he works with breeders, hybridizers and professional plant explorers, searching for exciting new creations and discoveries in the plant world. He looks for varieties that have improved habits – such as more pest and disease resistance, easy care, dwarf or compact size, outstanding flower or foliage color and other desirable attributes. Staddon was born in England, where he received a degree in agricultural science from Whitnesham Agricultural College. He has been with Monrovia for 25 years and is the spokesperson for new plants. Because he regularly travels around the country and internationally, he has his eye out for the next gardening trend. He is a frequent speaker at flower and garden shows, botanical gardens and gardening clubs.
