Lindsey currently works part time so she can stay home with her beautiful children. Although being a Mom is her favorite thing, she enjoys loading, lifting and digging while she is with us and would never let one of the guys show her up. Lindsey can lead you through our 16 beds of trees and shrubs and share with you her passion for plants and all things outdoors (and maybe a little about her kids too!)
