Fine art by Linda Carol Carter

Qualifications:

    Over twenty year background in Landscape construction, Landscape maintenance, and Nursery industries.

"I have a long and remarkably varied employment history in all phases of landscape construction, as well as retail garden center and wholesale nursery experience. I guess you could say I'm well rounded. In fact, I try to work in garden centers, still, every chance I get. It keeps me intimate with what is new, and even what is old. I don't believe landscape design talents sprout from books alone. A real intimacy with plants and the natural word is crucial."
"The beautiful aspect about my background is that I've been exposed to landscape plans and plants at nearly every level of my employment. I was able to study what worked, what didn't-- and not just on paper, but in actuality. Those lessons are invaluable to me in this career." ~ Kate O'Halloran
