Stories

I was introduced to horticulture by my parents when they conducted extensive landscaping changes to our property. I planted hundreds of trees, shrubs, and grasses learning about each variety as I dug. Moreover, I took on the hobby of houseplants and grew a strong affinity towards succulents. I have worked many agricultural jobs and helped numerous farmers during harvest.
