At a desert plant nursery in Princeton, New Jersey, Jacob Middleton spent years propagating succulents after building his own collection as an amateur grower. He now works on the gardening desk at Biology Insights, where his reporting centers on cacti and arid species, though he still keeps greenhouse hours each week. Middleton received a BS in horticulture from Tarleton State University and spends summer afternoons at the municipal swimming pool.
