Meet the Team
Reggie
As the Chief Inspiration Officer at Martin Garden Center, Reggie promotes creating “things of beauty.” Her specialty is shade garden combination plantings and incorporating unique specimens into landscape plans. Herb’n gardening makes her toes tingle and she insists that she never met a Basil she didn’t like. Making Martin Garden Center into a Greenville destination is her goal.
Braylin
After several successful seasons directing our special projects and leading Shrub World—our largest and most complex department—Braylin has officially stepped into the role of Operations Manager. His leadership, organization, and ability to bring structure to fast-moving projects have significantly elevated our operations. We are excited to see him bring that same energy and expertise to this new position. Congratulations, Braylin!
Kristina
Kristina is our creative powerhouse! With a background in social media, she leads our creativity and design efforts, making sure Martin Garden Center shines. As both our Greenhouse Manager and Social Media Manager, she brings her keen eye for aesthetics and innovation to the world of plants. Whether she’s crafting the perfect Instagram post or bringing life to our greenhouse displays, Kristina has a knack for making everything she touches bloom with creativity.
Devon
Devon serves as our Lead Grower and brings a strong horticultural foundation as a graduate of Clemson University. He specializes in propagation and has a remarkable talent for growing plants from seed, especially through the meticulous work he does at his misting station. Devon’s technical knowledge and hands-on expertise play a vital role in the health and success of our entire growing operation.
Scott
From his background running tree farms, Scott adds amazing tree and shrub knowledge and experience to Martin Garden Center. Furthermore, as the Facilities Manager at Martin Garden Center, he is the glue (and the spit and the bubblegum and duct tape) that keeps everything together. Thanks to Scott, the years of cascading equipment failures has ended, and our operations now proceed smoothly.
Lexi
A proud Texas A&M graduate, Lexi may be on the quieter side, but don’t let that fool you—she’s as sweet as she is sharp. As our Retail Manager, she keeps things moving smoothly at checkout and ensures every visit ends on a high note. Whether she’s greeting customers with a warm smile or ringing up a cart full of garden goodies, Lexi brings a calm, welcoming presence to the hustle and bustle of the garden center.
Angie
Angie is our Office Manager, and if there’s a system to organize, you can bet she’s already got it running like clockwork. With a background in logistics and organization, she handles everything from online sales to inventory management, ensuring our plants (and our people) are always where they need to be. If something’s missing, don’t worry—Angie already found it and put it exactly where it belongs.
Irene
After an extensive career with Verizon and several years as a Property Manager in New York City, Irene knows a thing or two about customer care. She’s always taken pride in building genuine relationships, and now she brings that same warmth and dedication to Martin Garden Center as Cashier. Whether she’s ringing up your latest plant finds or sharing a friendly chat, Irene makes every customer feel right at home.
Sara
Sara has been on and off with Martin Garden Center over the years, and we’re thrilled to have her currently back on the team. She has a deep love for plants and a versatile skill set, having successfully run Production, overseen Shrub World, and now leading the Perennials department. Her broad experience and passion make her an invaluable resource across multiple areas of the garden center.
Lydia
Lydia has worked extensively with plants throughout the Greenville area and brings a strong background in hands-on horticulture to our team. She works closely with Devon in Production, helping manage propagation, plant care, and daily greenhouse operations. Her experience and reliability make her an essential part of keeping our plants healthy from the very beginning.
