| WHAT IS GARDENOPUS®? GardenOpus®, the book, is a work-in-progress compiling the essays, photography, and artwork of Robert F. Gabella. On this site, you'll not only find updates regarding the book's completion and publication, but also current information on availability of merchandise such as high quality posters, photography and reprints of previously published works; as well as specialized services for commercial clients and home gardeners; garden tips and Q&A; and updates on new plant breeding and introduction. But Who Is Robert F. Gabella?
In addition to my
degrees in Ornamental Horticulture and Business Management,
my current graduate program is now complete as of April, 2012 and
combines the quantitative and practical elements of the MBA – Marketing with the
strategic and theoretical elements of the MLD – Leadership.
Some have asked what ever happened to my selection of Echinacea purpurea,
TWIST OF FATE™ -
though
twisting was unstable, it has produced interesting seedlings which are under
continued evaluation and testing. Several very
prolific crops of Hemerocallis and reblooming Iris seedlings are
also under evaluation and selection. I have also dabbled in breeding of
additional genera.
My careers have ranged from
Commerical and Retail Nursery Sales Management for a range of private companies,
to Horticultural Brokerage Vendor Relations for an international proprietary
genetics firm, to Landscape Construction Project Management and more recently
Residential Landscape Maintenance Account Management and Seasonal Color
Coordination - as well as a significant tenure with an independent software
developer serving the needs of large scale commercial growers in which key
special projects included the design, evolution and maintenance of a SQL-based
hierarchical, Horticultural, Product Information Management database
accessed by various e-commerce, reporting and analytical tools.
My technology and analytical-business consulting outreach to the green industry
continues to the present via
