Our Garden Experts

At American Meadows, our friendly and enthusiastic Garden Experts are standing by to help you be successful in all your gardening and landscaping activities.

Many of our staff have completed a 13-week Master Gardener course that covers a wide range of subjects, including soils, garden pests and how to control them, vegetable and flower gardening, lawn care, and landscape design. To finish their training and receive their official certification, they are each required to complete 40 hours of volunteer time in various garden-related services within their communities. Several have already completed their volunteer hours (congratulations!) while others are still working hard.

When you contact American Meadows, you can be confident that you're reaching a knowledgeable fellow gardener.
