Justin Keck, your personal gardener
My world first collided with horticulture when I was in high school. My best friend impressed me by describing certain plants with latin names and told me about the horticulture class offered by the high school. We ended up taking the class together and afterwards, I was convinced that this was what I wanted to do with my life. I went on to obtain a degree in Landscape Gardening and became certified as a Plant Professional.
I started out in nursery work where I became immersed in cultivation. After several years at nurseries, I ventured into the landscaping world where I encountered everyday challenges in the garden. I decided to become even more specialized by taking a job as a Horticulturist at a retirement community. It was at this community that I found my second passion — people. In this position, I developed meaningful and lasting relationships with the residents. They were more than residents, they were friends. Having this connection with the residents allowed me to understand their preferences on a deeper level. Our ongoing interactions allowed me to provide them with personalized gardens that fit their every want and need. It was through this immense love for personal connection paired with gardening that Walking Tree Gardening was born.
Walking Tree is a personal gardening business that offers a refreshing alternative to one-size-fits-all landscaping. My philosophy is that my job is about more than just executing horticultural tasks, it's also about providing my clients with a garden that adds meaning and value to their lives. It is about listening to and carefully implementing the unique vision of each of my clients.
