About the Author(s)

Christopher D. Hart - teaches agriculture classes for Chatham County Schools in Bear Creek, North Carolina. Mr. Hart earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Agricultural Education degrees from North Carolina State University. He and his students are responsible for maintaining the school's arboretum and conservatory as well as producing plants in the school greenhouses. In addition to advising the Chatham Central FFA Chapter, Mr. Hart has coached top-placing nursery landscape and floriculture teams in National FFA Career Development Events. He is the author of the Lab Workbook that accompanies Horticulture Today (G-W). Mr. Hart is also a Certified Plant Professional and a Certified Pesticide Applicator.

R. Lee Ivy - is the Director of the Agricultural Institute and Assistant Director of Academic Programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North Carolina State University and has been a post-secondary educator since 2001. Childhood experiences with peaches, vegetables, cattle, and ornamental plants sparked his interest and subsequent love of agriculture. His interest in a career in education grew from his respect of teachers who inspired effort, allowed for challenges, and encouraged high personal achievement.

Mr. Ivy taught in the Department of Horticultural Science at North Carolina State University in areas of fruit and vegetable production, ornamental and turf weed and disease management, landscape maintenance, landscape construction courses, introductory horticulture, and home horticulture via distance education. He served as co-advisor for the Horticulture Competition Team and co-hosted the National Collegiate Landscape Competition. Prior to his experience at NC State, he taught at Sandhills Community College.

He holds degrees in horticulture from the University of Tennessee and NC State University, is a licensed landscape contractor, a member of the International Plant Propagators Society—Southern Region, a certified pesticide applicator, a certified plant professional, and a member of the North Carolina Nursery and Landscape Association. He is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in the Department of Agricultural and Extension Education focused on the implications of online and face-to-face education delivery methods.

Most of his teaching has been traditional face-to-face instruction, but he also developed an award-winning online educational platform of project-based horticultural activities for college credit through the undergraduate certificate program. He intends to educate for sustainable landscape systems, safe food production, and a productive and rewarding livelihood. In addition to administrative duties, Mr. Ivy networks with agricultural industry employers to foster job and internship opportunities for students.
