Tijana Blanusa

Tijana Blanusa, Ph.D., is a principal horticultural scientist with the Royal Horticultural Society in the United Kingdom. She leads the Ecosystem Services Research Program, which works to identify the structural and functional traits of plants that can be isolated, optimized, and employed to benefit the wider environment. Tijana hopes that through her research she can encourage gardeners to “keep as much of their garden as green as possible.” Most recently she has investigated the impacts of hedge plant choice on the reduction of flooding risks and the use of hedges on school grounds as a tool in environmental education.
