I have worked in the Horticulture industry for 15 years with the South's leading perennial grower. I was manager of propagation 8 years. My first year of propagating I grew approximately 50,000 starter plugs and during the last couple of years it grew to 9+ million plugs.

I was taught horticulture by one of the best growers in the Southeast and then was given the opportunity to learn the methods of propagation.

I received my certificate in Floriculture and Business from Michigan State University.

Today I own Southern Pride Plants and wholesale to independent garden centers. It is our goal to provide the best plant material to the garden centers and consumers.
