Louise Roselle horticultural fellowship presented
Established by the trustees of the Unidel Foundation in 2001, the fellowship honors Roselle, the wife of University President David P. Roselle, and her active interest in landscape design and renovation on campus, as well as her personal interest in gardening and horticulture. The fellowship is given each year to a rising second-year fellow with high academic standing, an excellent research program and demonstrated team-building/leadership potential, according to James E. Swasey, director of the Longwood Graduate program. Moydell is a graduate of Oklahoma State University with a bachelor’s degree in horticulture, with a concentration in public horticulture. Under the Hortecus exchange program, he studied horticulture at the University of Hanover and interned at Herrenhauser Garten in Hanover, Germany. During his undergraduate years, he also worked as a plant vendor for Sessions Plan Farm in Dallas. In the Longwood Program, Moydell is an appreciation-event leader and last summer led a project focused on developing a comprehensive contact list for Longwood’s Centennial Celebration in 2006. His thesis topic is “Developing a Strategic Plan for A Center of Excellence in Public Horticulture at the University of Delaware.” He has a special interest in prairie plants, garden design, ethnobotanical or medicinal plants, education and interpretation in public gardens. This summer his class will participate in a North American Experience, a program where the Longwood fellows will visit gardens and create a web page about where they went and what they learned. Moydell’s outside interests are cooking (he has worked as a tableside hibachi chef in a Japanese restaurant) and tinkering with vintage mopeds.
