The Good Earth Family of Companies is pleased to feature Dawn Weatherford in our Employee Spotlight! For the past three years, Dawn has been busy helping with customer service, quality control and overseeing our color program.
Three years ago, Debbie Hopkins, Plantscape operations Manager at Good Earth Plants (and Dawn's mom...) asked Dawn if she was interested in helping design wreaths, swags and Christmas trees for the holiday season.
"The rest is history!" says Dawn.
From making a plain orchid plant look like a high-fashion design piece to creating ribbon masterpieces on the Children's Hospital Christmas tree at Horton Plaza, Dawn's talents can be seen all over San Diego.
"Because we all jump in and help out in every department, I am proud of each and every project from creating orchid arrangements and interiorscapes to living walls and more," she continues.
"We put a lot of thought into everything we do because we care about the individual needs of our clients...it's not just a sale for us. We make every plant project special," says Dawn.
In the future, Dawn is hoping to continue her work with the community and in particular helping out with the Special Olympics.
"They have a booth every year called Pot-A-Plant and it is a great way to get those with special needs involved in horticulture," Dawn continues.
Dawn is looking forward to watching the family of Good Earth Plant Companies grow.
"I look forward to seeing our headquarters grow into a place where the community can enjoy the horticultural experience and learn about plants and the environment," she says.
When Dawn is not taking great care of our valuable clients, she enjoys spending time with her family and being outdoors in nature. When asked for her thoughts on the future, Dawn shared the following quote:
"Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and beauty." ---Albert Einstein
