Howard has devoted his life to establishing a leadership role in the natural organic marketplace. He provides advice on natural organic gardening, landscaping, growing, pet health, pest control and natural living.
Howard Garrett received his Bachelor of Science degree in park administration and landscape architecture from Texas Tech University in 1969. After a stint in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, Howard started his business career at Club Corporation of America where he was a laborer and assistant golf course superintendent. In 1985, the birth of Howard’s daughter Logan was the turning point of his entrance into organic gardening, landscaping, farming and ranching. By 1988 he had committed his entire career to the research, education and promotion of organic products and practices. In addition to teaching organics to homeowners, he began the conversion of numerous commercial projects such as the Frito-Lay National Headquarters in Plano. His work also includes research on natural organic planting techniques, use of native and well adapted introductions and water saving solutions. Organic projects in the studies have realized 40-50% cost savings in water use. Consulting clients have included Lambert Landscape Company, Moore Tree Care, Carrington Labs and their aloe vera growing operation in Costa Rica, Greenway Parks residential development in Dallas, Tarrant County Community College properties, Tierra Verde Golf Club in Arlington, Texas Instruments, Iscar Metals in Arlington and Sabre Corporation in Southlake.
