I find something unique about working for a small Mom & Pop business like J&G Lawn and Garden. It is much more rewarding than simply being a small cog in a huge wheel.

We have six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. They are truly our greatest treasures.We enjoy spending time with each other and our extended families, gardening, picnics in the redwoods, visiting new out of the way places.I have lived and worked in Humboldt County for 56 years. I graduated from HSU and am a Military Veteran. I was a grocer for 45 years and a bookkeeper for the past ten years. I volunteered as a firefighter with small community volunteer departments for 25 years. I have always been very active in the communities where we have lived. Both my children are now carrying on this tradition in their communities. The ease of reaching the redwoods, rivers and ocean makes living here very rewarding. Both of our children and their families live in the area, so that is a huge plus to living here.
