Every spring when Neal Adams was a kid he couldn't wait to plant a garden. After all, his brother Steve and their family planted a large vegetable garden that would feed numerous family and extended family members all year long. Vegetables were not the only items planted in their garden or yard.

His mother Rita's love of flowers, trees and shrubs ensured that their yard was filled with a variety of plants, both edible and non-edible. Neal and Steve grew up understanding the value of growing plants of all kinds. They saw landscaping made their house more of a home by adding softness with flowers and character with shrubs.
