Meet the Team

General Manager

Shawn continues the family tradition of our business founded by his parents, Bill and Cindy Cox, in 1982. He grew his business acumen as a child selling seeds and cactus cuttings he collected from his neighborhood, while other kids sold lemonade. Fast forward to a BS from ASU in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and today he’s a leading force in the horticulture industry. From water conservation to the quest for rare agaves in Mexico, Shawn lives and breathes botany. He and his wife Lauren are the proud parents of 3 boys: Corbin, Callum, and Carson.

John Kime

Sales Manager

John knows the art to customer service. Literally. Before leading our sales team, he traveled the world as Exhibition Director for Phoenix Art Group. His portfolio even included his own paintings. Lucky for us, he came back to his roots from growing up on a farm. A Phoenix native, he knows what plants perform here best. Married, with 2 teenage daughters and 3 crazy cats.
