Hey there, I´m Jada, owner, designer, and gardening expert!
Jada’s Garden & Greenhouse is a small, woman-owned company that started with one woman and a green thumb. Since then, we’ve grown to a staff of as many as 20 during the busy season. We have completed thousands of plantings for residents and businesses in Wisconsin.
I graduated from UW Madison with a Bachelor of Science degree, emphasizing International Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Fruits and Vegetables. My early work experience focused on native plants in prairies, wetlands, and woodlands. I then worked in a large greenhouse on the East Coast for several years. There I had hands-on experience in the propagation of perennials and small shrubs. Upon my return to the Midwest, I spent five years as perennial plant manager for a large Madison greenhouse. This experience enhanced my knowledge of houseplants, small shrubs, and trees.
My strong work ethic can be accredited to growing up and working on a small dairy and pig farm in southwest Wisconsin. Our farm supported large gardens for both my mother and grandmother. I grew up loving the land and learning as I helped plant, maintain, and harvest both food and flowers.
Jada’s Garden offers year-round garden maintenance as well as seasonal container design. I specialize in sourcing high-quality plant material and general cleanup and garden rehabilitation, including design work.
My home is in southwestern Wisconsin, where I live with my husband and daughter in the rural beauty of the Blue Mounds hills. In 2017 we opened up our full-service retail greenhouse and gift shop, a true labor of love.
