Dylan Hannon

Dylan develops and maintains a collection of diverse tropical plants in the Huntington's Rose Hills Conservatory for Botanical Science and its associated greenhouses. He acts as a liaison to botanical gardens, botanical science professionals, and nursery specialists. Dylan has explored various countries in the tropics to facilitate naturalistic Conservatory exhibits and help build The Huntington's tropical plant collections. He actively exchanges living material with other prestigious national botanical institutions. In addition to hands-on stewardship, Dylan's work with the Tropical Collections is focused principally on the conservation of rare cultivated taxa via propagation and distribution.
