Windstar, 1986, Greensleeves First Landscaped Cruise Ship
Passion to excel drives achievement – from Albert Einstein to Frank Lloyd Wright. From theories that change the world’s thinking to awesome buildings like Fallingwater.
How does your company become the leader in designing and installing live and artificial plants on the largest cruise ships on the high seas? For company principals, Debra Smeltzer and Jim Ziesler, it began with backgrounds in marine botany and marine geological research at the University of Texas. In 1986, one year after Greensleeves opened, Smeltzer and Ziesler made an inspired presentation to design and install plants on the Windstar, a large five-star commercial sailboat.
Passion is the drive behind the creation of Kott Valley Farms formed out of a never-ending love with plants, people and farming. Kott Valley Farms grows organic vegetables and microgreens, in our Freight Farms Container, for Customers in Gillespie and Kerr Counties.
