Three class-run plant sales

Matthew led plant-sale work across three events run by his nine-student Longwood cohort, connecting floriculture and student-greenhouse production with public sales.

He contributed growing knowledge and helped coordinate donated plants for the 2026 spring symposium. The cohort raised roughly $27,000 across the three sales to support international horticultural study in Singapore.
