Adam Wheeler started working with plants at Broken Arrow Nursery in 2004 after earning his bachelor’s degree in urban forestry and landscape horticulture at the University of Vermont. His favorite role at Broken Arrow is plant propagation and the acquisition and development of new plants.
Adam is a past recipient of the Young Nursery Professional Award from the New England Nursery Association and is the current vice president of the North American Maple Society. He loves to share his passion for plants through photography and educational outreach.
