Mike Anselmo – He doesn’t just talk the talk………
Our current store manager in Oceanside came to Evergreen Nursery back in March of 2002. He had owned his own landscaping business, worked for other landscapers and suppliers and had taught horticulture classes. As many of our customers know, Mike has extensive plant knowledge, which we kind of like, here at Evergreen! We hired him as a sales person on the spot to work and learn our system at our main store in Carmel Valley. His passion for plants showed through his chatter (Mike likes to talk!), and we were very impressed with his work ethic. Within a few weeks, Mike was promoted to assistant manager and soon after that, he became a manager. Many of our customers know him as the manager at our Carmel Valley store but we like to move people around and freshen things up, so off he went to Oceanside a couple of months ago.
One of the reasons that Mike is so good at what he does is that he truly has a passion for plants. He loves competing with the other experts on our staff to be able to identify an odd plant faster than anyone! He doesn’t just talk the talk, he walks the walk. Guess what Mike does on his days off? He works in his own yard. As these pictures show, he is quite the master gardener.
Our customers always seek him out. As John, one of our many landscape customers says, “I know that Mike will always have the right answer and if he doesn’t know it, he’ll find out and call me back. “ Joan, a homeowner in Del Mar says, “I had been everywhere, trying to find someone who would tell me what was wrong with my tomatoes. Mike diagnosed my blossom end rot and told me it was a calcium deficiency and how to cure it.”
So, come visit Mike at our Oceanside store – his knowledge comes from years of experience helping customers and creating his own gardening oasis at his own home.
