As a professional whose expertise and experience spans 27 years, I feel this level of qualification is important to the public we serve.

As the owner of a horticulture and landscape industry based PR firm and author of many articles on the subject of eco-smart fertilizers for the industry, I have the privilege of working with industry expert companies like Florikan E.S.A., the manufacturer of some pretty incredible low-P feed products. By simply making an informed and eco-savvy change from a high-P product to a low-P product, the mandates will be easily met, not to mention the obvious green benefits that come along with the change.
