A conversation with Greg Lusk, the executive director of Amarillo Botanical Gardens, a four-acre oasis near Medi-Park. Lusk is a trained horticulturalist, and right out of college he worked as the private gardener for legendary local businessman T. Boone Pickens. More recently, Lusk has spent the past decade with the Botanical Gardens, leading that organization through a period of growth thanks to seasonal attractions like Christmas in the Gardens and its position as a premier event venue for the community. Lusk shares with host Jason Boyett about the important role his organization plays in the region, and what it's like to make a career out of cultivating beauty in a hostile environment.
