On to Greener Pastures

It’s always a bittersweet moment when you lose longtime staff, so we’d like to publicly say goodbye to Meghan Fidler, our Nursery Manager for the last 5+ years, and her partner, Jeremy Schmidt, who headed up our Grounds and Research department for 15+ years. Jeremy has been responsible for all of our garden rock work over the last decade including our incredible crevice garden, while Meghan has overseen a period of dramatic growth in our production nursery.

Both are heading off for a new adventure at Bellingrath Gardens & Home in Mobile, Alabama, where they will work for another former PDNer, Todd Lasseigne. We wish them the best in their new phase of life. We are currently looking to fill our Nursery Manager position, so if you or someone you know has an interest, you can find out more here.
