Because today (April 13) is International Plant Appreciation Day AND because April showers are making us think of the planting of and emergence of May flowers, there's no better time for My ArundelBiz to feature its next great guest: Himmel's Landscape & Garden Center.
We sat down with Elizabeth Elliott, owner of the Pasadena-based biz, to discuss:
- How she fell in love with landscaping while working at Himmel's, over 20 years ago, and took a circuitous path before becoming its owner in 2018.
- How a VOLT Fund loan from AAEDC allowed her to purchase, then very quickly expand, the business.
- The biggest challenges that growing from 4 to 35 employees has brought - and how she's dealt with them!
- What goes into selecting the 13,000+ plants that she stocks.
- PLUS her top spots to visit in Anne Arundel County AND her top gardening and landscaping tips.
So tune in to learn more about a woman who says her "heart was always at Himmel's" and is truly passionate about plants!
