Company Role

I am the Marketing and Supply Manager so I do research, ordering, and pricing for our Nursery & Greenhouse.   In addition, I deal with most marketing, advertising. and social media related activities.  I do lots of other miscellaneous tasks that come with working for a small business.  Variety is the spice of life!

Experience and Credentials

I love gardening and Googling!  I started here when the nursery was young and we all had a lot to learn.  I love solving problems and creating systems and spreadsheets to track inventory and keep us organized.  I have an Interior Design degree which helps with the decor side of the nursery.  I have a business minor which helps with the marketing side of my job.  Mostly, I just Google.

Best things about your job

I love working for a small business where your job is varied and no two days are alike.  Each employee can really make a difference!  I am grateful that I get to work around plants which is one of my passions.  Danny is a great boss and a great human being and all things flow downward so he makes Wapsie Pines a great place to work.

Common problem faced by your customers

Finding a plant that’s maintenance free, ever blooming, deer and rabbit resistant, drought tolerant, shade and sun tolerant, and only gets as big as it says on the tag.

Hobbies

I love to garden and have learned it’s a journey, not a destination.  I am constantly moving plants around in my landscape and am never completely satisfied.  I like to sit on the deck and read and watch the birds.  I quilt, go to flea markets, and love spending time with family and friends.
