Michael Payne grew up in McLoud, Oklahoma, surrounded by forests, wildlife, and the freedom to explore. With a near constant exposure to his father's and grandmother's love of gardening, it is no wonder that he landed within the horticulture and botany fields. Michael has 6 years of experience in horticulture including sales, maintenance, and public education while also continuing his own education. After graduating with a associates from Oklahoma State University - Oklahoma city, Michael is now studying botany and genetics through Oregon State University's e-campus.

​ Michael currently works at Martin Park Nature Center as part-time program specialist, though you'll rarely find him in the visitor center as he focuses on the general grounds maintenance of the park.

For fun, Michael loves relaxing with his husband, two dogs and cat and has his friends over weekly for a dungeons and dragons session or board game night.

Doors open at 6:30. Free and open to the public. Door prizes!
