Meet Steven Blodgett

“I’m one of those people who has always loved digging holes. 

“I studied the classics at the U and worked in Landcare as an undergrad to help pay tuition. I found out I liked working outside much more than working inside. When I graduated in 2016, my coworkers encouraged me to apply for an opening as a gardener. 

“I’m still passionate about Roman history, so I might use the Regents [Tuition Benefit Program] to further my education. That’s a great option at the University that I wouldn’t have in a similar role elsewhere.”—Steven Blodgett, Senior Gardener, Teamsters Local 320 

Favorite tree: white pine
