Rob Humphreys's Bio

Born in Baltimore City and raised in Rogers Forge, Rob is a lifelong resident of the Baltimore area.

His earliest exposure to ornamental gardening came during a grade school field trip to Sherwood Gardens to see the tulips — an experience that still reminds him of Candyland.

After returning to college and graduating from Towson State University, Rob decided on a career change and applied for a crew position at Pinehurst Landscape Company, where he worked from 1997 until 2004.

It was there that Rob developed a love for the Green Industry and horticulture, mentored and encouraged by Corey Branch, Wink Rupprecht, Donny Mosby and Fred Weidel. While working on a crew during the day, he attended evening horticulture classes at CCBC and earned certification as a Certified Professional Horticulturist.

For the next nineteen years, Rob worked at Mullan Nursery Company as a foreman, gaining hands-on experience with grading and drainage, low-voltage lighting and holiday lighting and décor. When Pinehurst acquired the company, he returned to familiar roots — and is thrilled to be part of such a wonderful team once again.
