• Responsible for procuring more than 30 million unrooted cuttings a year for young plant production.

Can’t live without: “The three good months out of the year when I can lay on the beach and soak up the sun on Lake Michigan with my golden retriever, Butters.”

Dawn has a degree in criminal justice. She grew up in the horticulture industry and thought she would pursue a different career than the rest of her family, but the business “just sucked me back in because it’s what I love.”
