“Everything is under one ownership now,” says Steve Winterfeldt, a horticulturist at JPPA. “Things worked out very well and we’re going to stay right here in South Carolina.”

“We all feel very positive. We love what we do. We are reorganized, energized and we are going to have the funds and resources to really improve our offerings.”
