Craig Morell - 
Craig is currently the Horticulturist at Pinecrest Gardens. He's been renovating the Gardens since 2004, a year after the Village of Pinecrest bought the property from Parrot Jungle.

Craig is a lifelong plant collector with a yen for epiphytes. He has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Horticulture from UF-Gainesville. He has worked previously as Horticulturist at the Boca Raton Resort, and at an orchid company in West Palm Beach before that.

Craig is a career horticulturist, travels widely, and spends his free time orchidgardening at home in south Miami, scuba diving, photographing nature and visiting even more gardens.
He sometimes escapes from the Gardens and is occasionally seen in public masquerading as a normal person.
