Morris “Chip” Clint III ’90 Keeps Aggies Growing

Determined to follow a different path, Chip initially studied business at Texas A&M University—but a part-time job at a local plant shop reignited his love of plants. After graduating with a degree in horticulture, Chip moved to Dallas, eventually opening Clint Horticulture, a landscaping consulting and design firm. While his company focuses on creating botanical gardens, Chip is fascinated by the native plants that thrive in Texas’ various ecological regions.

Similarly, wanting future Aggies to be firmly rooted so they can face the world’s changing economic and natural environments, Chip created the Clint Horticulture Endowed Scholarship. “My family underwent hard economic times when I was finishing school, making every scholarship I received more meaningful,” he explained. “Horticulturalists are going to be critically important in creating a more sustainable future—and based on my experience, Texas A&M provides one of the best horticulture educations today.”
