We were eager to get this week's guest on the podcast ever since he submitted a formal request through our [email protected] email address a few weeks ago!
 
Author, educator, flower expert, and so much more, Dr. James M. DelPrince AIFD, PFCI!
Dr. DelPrince, or Jim, is a well-respected professor of Floral Design and Interior Plantscaping Design at Mississippi State University, home of the country's leading Floral Management program in Horticulture.  Where he leads his students through degree-level floral education, as one of the last major American Universities offering floral education programs. With the onsite flower shop, The University Florist, and 20 Floral Management concentrated majors offered by MSU and Dr. DelPrince, students are guaranteed to be prepared to go into floral careers throughout the industry ranging from retail, wholesale to media and product development.

In this episode, we got some insight into who Dr. DelPrince is, his mission to bring floral education to eager students and inspire a new generation of flower experts.  We are very excited to shed some light on Jim, and share his passion and enthusiasm with our audience.
