Mark Farrow owner

Mark D. FARROW

COO

In 1983, Mark Farrow was working for a local moving company. At the time, Julie and Mark were friends, and Julie needed some "braun" to lift some plants on an install.   She asked for help. After completing the job, Mark found the nearest payphone, called his boss at the moving company, quit his job, and joined Plantscapers.   The rest was history, as Mark now serves as our COO.

Mark's day-to-day responsibilities include managing the business's overall operations, including our installation and holiday departments, warehouse inventory, and green wall installations, and being a strong contributor to employee morale and training. In addition, he is the point person on our team that ensures that we have a well-oiled and successful operational structure.

On weekends, Mark can play tennis, golf, or watch any sporting event, including his favorite team, the Baltimore Ravens. One of his biggest joys is spending time with his grandson Dakarie.
