Landscape Designers
Ben has over 10 years of experience in the field and he quickly became landscape designer. When he is not working at the nursery, he is on the waters investing in his oyster aquaculture business, Halcyon Sea Farm. His farm raised oysters are incredibly fresh & delicious (and for sale too)!
Seth has 17 years of experience at Native Nurseries and has been mentoring under co-founder/designer Jody Walthall for the last year.
Ben gunther
Benji (or Ben G.) hails from Salem, Oregon and grew up interested in all things nature. Upon graduation from high school, he pursued apiculture. This passion led him to a beekeeping position at a large apiary and honey farm in Blountstown, Florida. He later moved up here to Tallahassee where he worked as a landscape foreman at a local garden center. His love of pollinators and the importance of native plants to pollinators’ survival aligned when he applied to the landscape crew. Our resident creepy-crawly catcher, Benji handles bugs on and off the job. After hours, he loves to fish, hunt, keep bees, and relaxes with his wife, 2 cats, & dog after hours.
Kenny Poole
Kenny moved to Tallahassee in 2020 from Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. He joined our landscaping team in the fall of 2023 and has been a valuable member in his time here. He’s always been passionate about nature and outdoor recreation, this being what drew him to Native Nurseries.
