Interiorscape pioneers Terril Nell and Janice Goodman honored

The lifetime achievements of Dr. Terril Nell, Professor Emeritus University of Florida, and Janice Goodman, Cityscapes, Boston, will be recognized by AmericanHort at Cultivate’16, July 9-12, in Columbus, Ohio. Honoring their contributions to the development of the interiorscape industry, the two industry leaders will be inducted into the Interior Plantscape Hall of Fame during the Plantscape Awards Celebration on Sunday, July 10.

The AmericanHort Interior Plantscape Hall of Fame (formerly known as the PIA Interior Plantscape Hall of Fame) was established to honor individuals of integrity whose personal dedication provides great leadership in the development and growth of the interiorscape industry. Individuals nominated must have contributed for a minimum of 15 years to the development and permanent betterment of the interiorscape industry.



Dr. Terril A. Nell is Professor Emeritus of Floriculture at the University of Florida. He served as Chair of the Environmental Horticulture Department from 1991–2012, and he was Professor of Floriculture from 1977–2012. He retired from the University of Florida in 2011. His research program focused on the production and postharvest handling of flowering potted plants and fresh cut flowers. He developed the University of Florida Postharvest program in 1983 that concentrated on potted plant and cut flower performance for growers, shippers, wholesale and retail florists, and interior plantscapers. His research results have led to changes in floral industry practices leading to improved flower and plant longevity. He has served as an industry consultant for growers, wholesalers, and retailers nationally and internationally for 25 years.
