Meet Devyn

If you stay in touch with this blog you are going to see a wealth of valuable information from updates on pest controls to age-old wisdom for garden maintenance. I, however, will not be offering information like this on a very consistent basis. My

modus operendi

will revolve around comic relief and general commentary on the goings-on at Greenlife so you have the chance to get to know us as your personal landscape professionals. In line with that vision, allow me to introduce myself. I have been working for Greenlife Gardens (GLG) since May of last year (2008). It was random chance that I even found the posting for the landscape “foreman” position on Criagslist. (Titles like “foreman” are a very loose concept with us. Leadership structure is much more organic at GLG than conventional models allow.) I grew up in south-central Nebraska spending much of my childhood playing in the woods on the banks of the Platte River, competing in every sport I could, and participating in every extra-curricular activity I could find. Yes, I am a Type-A extroverted personality…and I am ok with that. I came to Omaha in 2002 after graduating high school looking for where I would fit in the great, big, adult work world. Landscaping is where I landed. I love transforming spaces to be unique and beautiful. I love working with homeowners to realize the design vision created by our wonderful designers. And most of all, I love meeting new clients and opening a door for years of quality landscape care. See you in the field! -Devyn L.
