Company
Express Seed Co.
Job Title
Sales Representative
Accomplishments
- Before joining Express, ran her family’s wholesale nursery for 16 years, supplying southern California’s IGCs, and helping recycle over 1 million water bottles with its pots.
- Built a sanctuary garden at an elementary school for students to enjoy at recess — and provided additional instruction on how to plant and germinate seeds on their own.
Extracurricular
Up for Adventure: Hiking to waterfalls is Jacki’s favorite hobby — along with anything that involves her flying (skydiving, ziplining and more).
Fun Facts
The Next Generation: Jacki enjoys teaching her two boys how to garden. “Watching the amazement in their eyes when I ask them to smell their hand after touching a rosemary or lavender plant makes working the long hours in our industry worth it.”
