My photo
Alex Feleppa
After undergrad in Anthropology and Art I turned to horticulture. From sales and production to private estate care and eventually on to nonprofit work in New York City, I have been fortunate to see and do a lot. My formal training comes from the New York Botanical Garden and today I work as a Horticulturist and Landscape Designer in my hometown of East Hampton, NY. Add a love of art and creative friends, music, travel and adventure with a crazy family and life devoted to having fun and doing it right, and you might begin to know a little bit about me. The ocean is my home, my home is my temple, and the world is my oyster. I love answering plant ID questions and helping promote proper horticulture so feel free to send your pics and questions to arborboy@gmail.com
