Trey Pitsenberger’s Summary

I have owned two garden centers in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. My current venture is The Golden Gecko Garden Center in Garden Valley. Having been in the garden center business for the last 28 years I have a unique outlook on the industry.

The garden center industry is in a state of change as many retail business are these days. I enjoy exploring how to best use these changes to help the small and medium sized garden center.

My blog The Blogging nurseryman at www.thegoldengecko.com/blog was the first horticultural industry blog to take up these issues and is the go to site for the most current thinking on small and medium garden centers.
