Kirei Parks of the Tift County FFA Chapter in Tifton, Ga., was asked to water in the greenhouse at school one day, and while he came out soaking wet, he was hooked on the ability to grow things in a nursery. Since that day, he’s been a premier caretaker of the greenhouse and also works at a locally-owned nursery. Parks plans to attend the University of Georgia where he will major in horticulture and minor in biotechnology. He is supported by his FFA advisors, Carl Nichols, Lynne Cook, Heath Cross and Brittaney Schwing. This award is sponsored by Nufarm Americas.
