GREEN GARDENING BUSINESS LAUNCHING SOON IN L.B.

We have landscape designers, native-plant specialists and arborists with training in trees. Soon, we'll have one more branch to add to our city's growing canopy.

In the next week or two, Long Beach will have a new--perhaps first--green gardening business. Mark Stump, who previously worked in the entertainment industry, has been making a career switch behind the scenes over the past couple of months, and he's now very close to his official launch.

So what is a "green" gardening business? According to Stump, it's one which is free of toxic fumes and noise pollution. This means no gas-powered equipment or motors rumbling through a quiet soundscape. Stump will be mowing and tending to lawns in the traditional way: with a push-reel mower and hand edger. For clean-up: the good old-fashioned broom and rake.

Learn more about Mark Stump's business in an upcoming post. Stay tuned for contact details...
