Meet Our Officers

Heather is our new treasurer; look for her bio soon!

​

Since retiring from the Agronomy Dept. of the University of Maryland, Joe Buriel has occupied himself with weaving, spinning, and working in his garden. As a longtime member of the Hyattsville Horticultural Society, he has come to appreciate the unique character and charm of the city, both in its architectural diversity and in its appreciation for the urban environment.

According to my father, I come from a long line of "farmers, teachers and crackpots," and I believe my alter ego "Miss Floribunda" is the personification of all three. My passion for flowers was evident at a very early age, although interest in gardening itself came rather later.

My name is Julie Wolf and I became the President of HHS in April of 2025 after being VP for a long while. At work, I used to be a Research Plant Physiologist (someone who studies the normal functioning of plants) with a government agricultural agency. I currently am proud and happy to work for Prince George's County Department of Environment.
