A Day in the Life of an Ornamental Specialist
Bob Froelich, Envu U.S., shares his experience serving greenhouse and nursery growers
April showers bring May flowers” — a saying believed to have originated from the UK in the 1500s — holds true as spring blooms across the northern hemisphere.
In the next chapter of our “Day in the Life” series, it is only fitting to introduce Bob Froelich, ornamental specialist at Envu, who serves our U.S. greenhouse and nursery customers. With over 25 years of experience working in the ornamental industry, Bob’s favorite part about the job is that no two days are the same.
From listening to his customers' unique challenges to on-site visits to identify the most effective solutions, Bob’s greatest pride is hearing directly from customers that an Envu product helped solve a previous problem at hand.
Gary Meivogel, integrated pest management manager at Ridge Manor Nursery, explains that he uses Envu products because of the hands-on technical support he receives from Bob and because “they’re reliable and they live up to their expectations — and then some!”
Beyond beautifying our green spaces, #ornamentals can improve the health of society — positively impacting our mental health and making the places we live, work and play the kind of place we want to be. It’s why Envu is partnering with growers to limit weeds, insects and diseases that hinder growth.
To be a force for beautiful environments, we must be a force with nature.
