Brian Heinz
Director of Horticulture & Arboriculture
Brian is a native Cincinnatian, who got his start in horticulture in the mid 1990's at West Hill Greenhouses growing annuals and perennials. This ignited an interest in plants that took him to the University of Cincinnati for the Horticulture program. He came to Spring Grove in 1999 and has worked up the ranks from seasonal to Director of Horticulture and Arboriculture. Additionally, Brian is currently the President of the Ohio Branch of the Professional Grounds Management Society, a member of Ohio Green Industry Association, a member of the Boone County Arboretum Plant Collection Committee, and a member of the Tri-State Green Industry Conference Planning Committee. Brian is also a certified pesticide applicator for the state of Ohio. Throughout the year, it is Brian's great pleasure to give many talks and tours about the plants of Spring Grove to students and visitors.
