Jeff Horton – Owner
Jeff graduated from Lehigh University with a B.A. in Psychology. After spending a few years building trails in Maine and Alaska he went back to school and earned a Master’s Degree in Landscape Design from The Conway school of Landscape Design. After graduating, he worked for various nurseries and landscape companies in the greater Portland area gaining experience in the landscape industry including, design, hardscaping, planting, maintenance and nursery management/production.
After his position as a plant buyer for a landscape company, Jeff realized there was a need for a plant supplier in the Greater Portland area who specifically serviced the needs of the landscape trade. In January 2004, Jeff leased four acres in Gray and HORT Resource was up and running.
Jeff lives in North Yarmouth with his wife Susan and three daughters. When not at the nursery Jeff enjoys spending time with his family, music and a variety of outdoor activities including skiing, biking, duck hunting and fly-fishing.
