Why Beautification Matters: Flowers, Pollinators, and the Big Picture

This episode of Business LO is all about beautifying our fair city! We appreciate it so much that our podcast cover art highlights our love of the signature flower baskets all over town.

You may be wondering who and what is behind all this. We are excited to feature Jonn Karsseboom, owner of The Garden Corner in Tualatin, also known as the "Garden Rebel." As he says on his LinkedIn profile, "Under the guise of 'work' I play the entire day long outside...creating all kinds of hanging baskets for every season and every occasion."

We also have Beth Oliphant Hoover, Executive Director at The Oliphant Hoover Community Charity, who will discuss the story of our beautiful, bodacious baskets around Lake Oswego. Heather Graves Ramsey, owner of Coach to Brilliance, leads the conversation and specializes in Executive Coaching & Leadership Development. Of course, local celeb and Chamber CEO Liz Hartman will share the insider info we all need with "What You Need to Know in LO!" Michelle O’Dell is your host, and we welcome you to another episode of Business LO!
