Vic Vanik, owner of Four Seasons, has over 40 years experience in the horticulture industry and has owned his own operation for 34 of those years. Previously a grower in Lancaster, PA, he has grown plants for Longwood Gardens, Disney World, and shipped plants all over the world from Alaska to Israel. Although his first love is the greenhouse, you'll find him in every department at Four Seasons. Look him up the next time you have a question- so far we haven't found one he can't answer!
	Gail Vanik began her career in garden centers 32 years ago.  Now she does a little bit of everything, from helping on the transplant line in the spring, to doing the marketing and advertising, to buying for the store, to setting up the Christmas Shop, to trying to manage our wild and crazy staff. Look for her in the greenhouse, at the registers or helping with customer care. She's the voice behind our radio ads and has her own blog, "Gail in the Garden."
	Sharon Deal comes to us after a long career in teaching and this is her fourth year at Four Seasons. You'll find Sharon's sunny personality and charming southern drawl behind the registers, in the garden center, helping with customer care and answering the phones. She and her husband, Larry, have a huge garden and she is familiar with many of our plants from growing, canning and preserving the harvest from them herself. Be sure to ask her about her recommendations for her favorite veggies when you see her!
	Margaret Hance has made our Perennials House a pleasure to wander through. A veteran of many landscape and nursery companies in California, she is also the one responsible for the landscaping at Sea World in San Diego, and for the City of San Diego's beautiful parks. We're so lucky to have her as a member of our team. The next time you are in the Perennial House, be sure to say hello!  She's full of helpful information and great ideas!
	Joy Keeling, and her husband Larry, were the original owners of Four Seasons and they gave us a great legacy. She is kind enough to help us on busy weekends in May and June. She still loves gardening and her flower beds create an impact from far away. Joy probably knows more than almost anyone about gardening in this area, so ask her any question and she'll have the answer. You'll find her at the registers, so the next time you visit, stop by and say hello to a familiar face!
	John Mabry is returning for his fourth year at Four Seasons. We've never seen John in a bad mood and his cheerful disposition and happy voice get us through many a busy day, still laughing. You'll find John in the nursery helping in sales, helping to load, helping on the grounds, and just generally helping where needed. He's also one of our delivery drivers in a pinch. We especially enjoy his great attitude!

	Gilbert Merrit is entering his eleventh season with us and there is nothing that he cannot fix- and believe us, we've tested him on that more than once! Gilbert does everything from mowing to repairs to helping with planting in the spring. He's also adds much needed muscle to our staff, so sometimes you'll also find him helping John on deliveries during busy times. And... he's always got a smile on his face!
	You might remember him as the cute kid who ran a hot dog and lemonade stand, but Christopher Vanik has been in the greenhouse practically since he was born. Well, at least since he was 48 hours old! Now a teenager, he's our bagged goods loader, re-stocker, weeder, and general go-fer around the garden center. And, he's the one that knows where to find the tomatoes when everyone else thinks we're out! If you see him on the Gator, look out!
	Dejah Griffith is full of smiles and enthusiasm! She's the gal that helps create all of the wonderful container gardens and keeps us running in the greenhouse. She brings alot of energy to our team and some good ideas. We're looking forward to see what she'll dream up next! This will be Dejah's third season with us. Say Hi to her in the greenhouse the next time you're in to visit!
	Sandi Hernandez keeps us all going! Always smiling and happy to help where she can, this is her third year at Four Seasons. Sandi's the one that does the crazy things in our company- from bringing tiaras on Mother's Day for the ladies to wear, to pulling some wonderful practical jokes. We love her shining sense of humor. In the short time she's lived here she's done some fabulous gardens at her home.
	Connie Walter comes to us after a long career as everyone's favorite teacher! She's an avid gardener and member of the Mesa Verde Gardeners. You'll find her smiling face at the registers or helping in the garden center. And since she's taught almost everyone in town, and sometimes also their children, she knows just about everyone! She's back for her second season with us and she's quickly become a favorite part of our Four Seasons family!
