I have been fortunate to gain experience not only at my small nursery, but from past experience at; Hudson Pines Farms (David Rockefeller's Estate) North Tarrytown, N.Y. under the inspirational direction of  Gill Martin,
and  at Arbor Gardens of Jackson, Michigan where I had the pleasure of workings with James Verhovan, LA
