Albert Baggott, Jr.

Albert Baggott is a native Floridian and lifelong Florida resident.  He received the Bachelor of Science Degree majoring in microbiology at the University of Florida in 1969 and the Master of Science in Agriculture, majoring in horticulture in 1975.  He taught horticulture for nine years and was science department chair for twenty years teaching chemistry/physics/math/biology.   His students designed, landscaped and maintained their campus. 

He has had a life long interest in landscape plants.  As a graduate student at the University of Florida he spent many hours on campus and in the University of Florida herbarium observing and identifying the plethora of plants on the campus.

While identifying the plants he discovered there were no books with high quality photographs of Florida plants.  A frequent complaint heard from homeowners and students over the years about plant books is "The pictures don't help."

This is the reason for Easy Care Landscape Plants for Florida Homes.  It is to help new Florida homeowners and beginners learn from high quality, high resolution, full color photographs and select easy care landscape plants for their home landscapes.
