ABOUT ME
I grew up in the greenhouses, following my Granddad through the aisles, brushing against the trays of plants spread across the benches. It was a family business started by his father, and my cousins and I pitched in at an early age.
I received formal horticultural training from DuPage Horticultural School in Chicago, Illinois, as well as continuing certifications from Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, PA. I've been a head grower for almost 20 years, specializing in perennial plant propagation. Under my guidance, we have developed organic and sustainable methods of fertilization and pest control, including the use of compost and natural pest predators.
I am based in Lancaster, PA. I have been married for forty-five years, and two of my five adult children currently work in the greenhouse business. I have seven grandchildren, and I'm pretty sure they all know the difference between a plant and a weed.

ABOUT MY SERVICES
I bring a lifetime of growing and landscaping experience. I strive to meet you where you are to help you make a richly satisfying green space in your own garden. Working within your skills, resources, and budget, I can help you plan you vegetable garden, build a backyard pond, design a patio, choose trees and shrubs for your space, or construct richly appealing perennial and annual plantings. I'm also passionate about building accessible spaces and gardens that will appeal to and include kids.
Since my consultations will largely take place on Zoom or by phone, I can help you wherever in the world you are. However, if you are local, I may consider a site visit on a case-by-case basis.
