Matt Mattus is the Senior Director of Horticulture for the American Horticultural Society and author of two gardening books, Mastering the Art of Vegetable Gardening and Mastering the Art of Flower Gardening, and he is just completing his third book about Greenhouse Gardening to be released in 2026. Active in many horticultural leadership roles Matt’s day job is quite different. Professionally Matt works as a Principal Designer Hasbro, Inc. (Pawtucket, RI), but that doesn’t preclude his deep involvement in many plant societies and botanic gardens.

He lives in a four-generation family garden in snowy Worcester, MA. Follow him on Instagram as @matt_mattus or his blog: Growingwithplants.com.
