Sawtooth Botanical Garden Gift & Greeting Card

Business Description

Jen's love of plants and nature began at a young age when she grew up five miles from town in western Oregon's Willamette Valley. Her parents instilled a solid work ethic and love of the outdoors shaped by working in their huge vegetable garden and living, for the most part, off the land. Jen finished up her education at Oregon State University with a degree in recreation and natural resource management with emphasis on Wilderness and Wild & Scenic Rivers management. Following a stint in the desert southwest of northern New Mexico she relocated to the Wood River Valley in 2001 after an initial ski trip to Sun Valley in 1987. Jen spent 17 years working for the city of Ketchum's Parks & Recreation Department, most recently as the city's director of parks and recreation, city arborist, and staff liaison to the Ketchum Arts Commission. She enjoys whitewater river rafting, fly fishing, camping, alpine skiing and adventuring in the inter-mountain west.
