My interest
in growing plants was nurtured at a very
young age by my parents. They always had a vegetable garden and
enjoyed growing colorful dahlias, cannas, and gladiolus, too.
It's also a product of the time I spent as my grandfather's shadow on his northern Illinois farm where my grandparents raised hogs and grew corn, soybeans, oats - and Christmas trees! (I'm the skinny one at left in this picture of my grandfather, Earl Sayers, my brother Tim, and my cousins Scott and Roger taken in the front yard of my grandparent's home.)
Many years later, ten years of post-secondary education
at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, the University of
Minnesota-St. Paul, and the SUNY-College of Environmental Science
and Forestry in Syracuse, more than
five years as a horticulture specialist with Cornell Cooperative Extension,
more than twenty-five years of experience in the field of
landscape horticulture and certification as both a
New York State Nursery & Landscape Association New York State Certified Nursery & Landscape Professional (#2045) and
International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist
(NY-0814A) - not to mention an absolute passion for what I do, allows me
to offer a variety of services that can be found nowhere else in Central New York.
