Emily Showalter, chief of human resources at Willoway Nurseries and part of the third generation of ownership, discusses how the company her grandparents founded has evolved during the past 70-plus years.

Welcome to the second episode of The Growth Industry podcast from the GIE Media Horticulture Group.

Each month, editors from Garden Center, Greenhouse Management, Nursery Management and Produce Grower will explore the latest horticultural trends and innovations.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a curious beginner, there’s something for everyone in our garden of discussions.

In our second episode, available above or wherever you get your podcasts, Emily Showalter, chief of human resources at Willoway Nurseries and part of the third generation of ownership, discusses how the company her grandparents founded has evolved during the past 70-plus years.

She joined GIE Media Horticulture Group Publisher Michelle Simakis in GIE Media’s podcast studio to talk about what drives the company today, how they motivate teams and foster accountability, and how “The Great Game of Business” style of transparency with company finances has revolutionized the business.

The conversation is part of our Leading Women of Horticulture series, which includes articles, videos and podcasts featuring interviews with industry leaders as part of Women’s History Month in March.
