“My 25-plus years experience with all facets of wholesale and retail horticulture, from operations and production to sales and marketing positions me to maximize the total-solution opportunities this team offers the industry,” Docksteader says. 

Formerly sales manager at Glenn Walters Nursery, Docksteader brings a depth of knowledge and insight to the HIP and New Christie Ventures joint venture. He’s been closely involved with prominent nationally branded plant programs like Knock Out Roses and sales for plant producers with reach in all parts of the U.S.
