Vaughn Raywood

Michael Raywood, who goes by Vaughn, began his love of horticulture in his early teens. After graduating with an associate in floral design and a bachelor's in business management in 2004 from Pennsylvania College of Technology, he worked in several garden centers and apprenticed under famed plantsman Barry Yinger before exploring arboriculture under Bartlett Tree Experts in 2013.

At Bartlett, he has established himself as a skilled Climber, Crew Leader and Plant Health Care Specialist.

As our resident "plant nerd", it is difficult to find someone with an obsession for the botanical greater than Vaughn, and it is rare for him to come across a plant he can't identify. In his free time, he has a passion for collecting rare plants, speaking, and breeding plants for release into the mass and collectors' market.
