There’s
a lot that’s new at Scottsbluff Landscaping and
The Village Garden Center this year-----
Meet
the new crew at Scottsbluff Landscaping
Troy Wilson (right), Landscape
Operations Manager
Troy
brings 20+ years of custom home construction
experience to his new job as Landscape
Operations Manager for Scottsbluff
Landscaping. We’re excited to add his
considerable experience in high quality deck and
patio construction to our company. Troy will
be responsible for the scheduling and management
of all landscape construction projects. The
Wilsons are a gardening family, and sons Scout
and Jessie are both considering careers in
horticulture.
Tony Lemmons (left) , Sales
Tony
is back. Tony worked for us several years ago
in landscape sales and returns to his “favorite”
job—landscape design and sales. Tony brings
his previous experience with our company and a
life-long interest in gardening and
landscaping back to Scottsbluff Landscaping, and
we’re very happy to have him back.
Beginning this year, The Village Garden Center
will no longer be open all year. Instead, we
plan to open each spring on March 1, and close
each fall in early November—no later than
Thanksgiving. We’ve closed out our Christmas
merchandise, and will also no longer be selling
fresh floral arrangements. We plan to
concentrate on being the best garden center we
can be from March through November. Carol, Ty,
and the staff at the garden center are looking
forward to continuing to be able to help you
with your gardening and landscaping. We plan
to continue to have the best selection of native
and adapted trees, shrubs, perennials, and
ornamental grasses in the region to go along
with the newest flowers and healthiest
vegetables in our greenhouses each spring.
It’s true, that Dick Meyer will be moving to
Santa Fe, New Mexico, to join his wife,
Marsha, who took a new job with the hospital
there this past May. But Dick and Marsha will
continue to own Scottsbluff Landscaping and the
Village Garden Center. Dick expects to spend 7
to 10 days a month in Scottsbluff to assist with
landscape designs, staff training, and business
planning—and to keep in touch with friends
here. He plans to continue writing his column
for the Star Herald each week through the
season. Dick also plans to explore
opportunities to do part-time landscape design
and consultation work in Santa Fe |
