founder & operator
Jon Kagle, although a Maryland native, moved to Pennsylvania to attend Williamson Trade School in Media, Pa for horticulture. He has always loved two things: being outdoors and local, small businesses. So much so that his first entry into entrepreneurship was a lawn-cutting business he started as a kid, helping out his neighbors during the summer months. He is now the founder and operator of Kagle’s Gardens, an award-winning garden care and maintenance team.
