Kim’s degrees in both Horticulture and Communication from the University of Illinois have guided her through a successful 35-year career that includes garden center manager, landscape designer, horticulture educator, and now Rosborough Partners’ Horticulture Purchaser. As a Professional Horticulturist, her passion for all things gardening has led to managing educational and professional development programs for the Illinois Landscape Contractors Association (ILCA), Illinois Green Industry Association (IGIA), and Perennial Plant Association (PPA). Kim also serves on the ILCA Board of Directors, is an Illinois Certified Nursery Professional, and received the 2015 ICNPro Of The Year award. When she’s not gardening professionally, she enjoys her own garden, visiting botanic gardens and traveling with family. She loves spending time with her three children and two grandchildren.
