This week’s Hometown Hero, presented by Hendrick Southpoint, is Michael Lee, from the North Carolina Botanical Gardens!

Lee is a data scientist whose work is helping people better understand the plant life around them and helping protect those plants in the process, keeping the greenery in North Carolina vibrant and the flora healthy!
