Luke became interested in plants in 2007, working at S and S plant farms in West Texas. In 2009 he moved to the Austin area and worked at The Natural Gardener for over 10 years, studying the natural and organic gardening methods taught by John Dromgoole as well as learning directly from head gardeners Roger Igo and David Johndrow. Luke has an inclination towards art and seeing gardening as another form of creative expression, so when he moved to College Station in April of this year, he discovered John Fairey Garden and was excited to be a part of the creativity and imaginative expression John Fairey established. Luke will primarily be tending the garden around the nursery area and working in the nursery as well.
