Meet the Team:
Reggie, CIO – As the Chief Inspiration Officer (CIO) at Martin Garden Center, Reggie promotes creating “things of beauty.” Her specialty is shade garden combination plantings and incorporating unique specimens into landscape plans. Herb’n gardening makes her toes tingle and she insists that she never met a Basil she didn’t like. Making Martin Garden Center into a Greenville destination is her goal.
Sam, Operations Manager – Sam comes to us with a background in Biology and Plant Evolutionary Biology. Basically, he’s a plant nerd. He can help you understand everything you need to know to successfully grow plants of all kinds. While he specializes in orchids, Sam really knows his stuff in a wide variety of all species of plants. Sam helps people identify their own relationships with plants.
Bobby, Greenhouse Manager – Bobby consistently receives the “Most Helpful” award at Martin Garden Center. When others need help, Bobby is almost always the first to respond and sometimes is the only one to respond. Bobby has a passion for plants, owning many at his home and adding regularly from Martin Garden Center and other shopping venues. His creativity in designing homes as his side job helps him design with plants at Martin Garden Center and for that we are all thankful.
Scott, Facilities Manager and the Tree Dude – From his background running tree farms, Scott adds amazing tree and shrub knowledge and experience to Martin Garden Center. Furthermore, as the Facilities Manager at Martin Garden Center, he is the glue (and the spit and the bubblegum and duct tape) that keeps everything together. Thanks to Scott, the years of cascading equipment failures has ended, and our operations now proceed smoothly. Tree Dude and Smooth Operator … who could ask for more?
Braylin, Shrub Master – After a year of arduous training, Braylin has become Martin Garden Center’s Shrub Master, taking on our largest departments in his own humble way. He recently re-launched our Baby Shrubs program, involving the investment in hundreds of Proven Winner shrubs that will be grown for sale in years to come at Martin Garden Center.
Josh, Production Manager and Lead Grower – Meet Josh, our dedicated Production Manager and Lead Grower at Martin Garden Center. Since joining our team on August 1st, 2023, Josh has been instrumental in cultivating healthy plants, ensuring our garden center thrives with vibrant greenery. With a deep-rooted passion for nature, Josh approaches each day with genuine care and enthusiasm for plant life. Whether it’s nurturing delicate seedlings or tending to mature specimens, Josh brings a gentle touch and a detailed eye to every task.
Mary Beth, Chief Creative Officer – Although semi-retired, Mary Beth still remains as a part-timer with Martin Garden Center. Creating living designs is Mary Beth’s passion. She enjoys inspiring novice and seasoned gardeners to try new and different plants to enhance their garden. She believes that you must have a sense of humor to be a good gardener … or to work with those who are. She is also the lead landscape designer for Martin Garden Center. And while she only works part-time and seasonally, she still is our go to.
Pat, Mother Earth – December of 2021, we said goodbye to Pat, our Mother Earth, as she succumbed to Cancer. Pat loved gardening all her life. She strongly believed in growing organically and in growing native plants. A master gardener since 1995, Pat was a fountain of knowledge. Having owned several small businesses, including monograming, garden design, BBQ and catering, she was a great resource at Martin Garden Center. Pat believed in plant and animal consciousness and stands firm that “we are all connected.” Hence the very-fitting “Mother Earth” title. Gone but not forgotten.
