I grew up in a family greenhouse and floral design business, when Cleveland was once known as the Greenhouse Capital of the World. This is where I found the love of horticulture. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Nursery and Landscape Management, and I spent many years traveling and meeting clients for landscape advice and designs. During this time, I could never pass up a good garage sale and have collected many old books and maps. I came up with a way to keep a memory alive, and use all of my collections by creating keepsake items to represent all those special moments in your life. I no longer do landscape design, but focus on the growing of succulents to be used has wedding favors, wreaths and living wall art and of course my map items under the name Sosucculent.com
