What makes a guy go from being a bean-counter to growing beans? From crunching numbers to digging dirt? Dan worked as an accountant for 13 years, gardening and landscaping in his spare time. Working at Donzell's has allowed him to hone his hobby into a career. He is Nursery Coordinator and Grower at Donzell's and an Ohio Certified Master Nursery Technician. We're happy he lost the suit and donned the Donzell's t-shirt. |

While other kids tried to avoid their chores, Beth gladly helped her Dad with mowing and weeding as a youngster. Thus began a lifelong love of plants and gardening that would lead her to a degree in Greenhouse Production and Management from OSU Agricultural Technical Institute. She has more than 20 years experience working in greenhouses, including those at Stan Hywet. Today, she enjoys bird watching, perennial gardening and looking after her "jungle of houseplants." |

Julie grew up in Pennsylvania and found her love of plants from working with her Dad in their big garden. She attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh for graphic design and went on to get her degree from Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences in landscape contracting with a focus on design. The perfect way to blend her interest in both design and plants! Working at Donzell’s allows her to see the plants that she uses in her designs. "I love the quote by Elizabeth Murray, stating that gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as the canvas." |
