Allie began her journey in the green industry during high school. She attended a tech school for horticulture and then went on to Stockbridge at UMASS for a degree horticulture. Her first job was installing the planters and flower beds at Hyannis Marina when she was 15. She worked at a local florist for 4 years designing floral arrangements, helping customers and doing deliveries. She spent 8 seasons with Gardens By Rebecca working in an around Osterville. With inspiration and guidance from Rebecca, Allie learned about gardening, being a leader, and how to navigate being a woman in a male dominated industry. She spent a few years gardening and managing greenhouses on private estates before settling in at Mainstay. She enjoys all the tasks that come with each season in the industry, but her favorites are working in the greenhouse and flower gardens. “I love color and texture and all things bright and beautiful in the garden.”
Outside of work Allie spends most of her time doing projects around the house or at the beach. She loves to spend time outside with her two daughters, who love to help in the garden, go fishing and walk in the woods with the dog!
