EAST LANSING—Ann Hancock is a self-described “plant geek.” She has a way of making plants come alive for visitors and master gardeners alike at the Michigan State University Horticulture Demonstration Gardens where she works as a horticulturist.

Her love for her job—and the volunteers who help her in the garden every week—is obvious. Just ask her.

“I’m one of the luckiest people in the world,” Hancock gushes. “I can’t believe they pay me to do this.”
