Home & Gardens started in 1989 by Michael Martorana with a love of
plants and a volunteer spirit. Longwood
Gardens accepted him as the
first volunteer in Longwood's Integrated Pest
Management department.
During his 8 years of work and study there, he was
awarded the "Certificate of Merit in Ornamental Plants".
From there, he earned his ISA (International Society
of Arboriculture) Certified Arborist designation.
As demand for experts in tree health &
diagnostics grew, an education through Penn State,
the University of Delaware and Cornell provided the
extensive knowledge needed to provide
cutting edge diagnostic and treatment skills.
He now holds a
"TREE RISK ASSESSOR QUALIFIED"
Certificate through the ISA.
Michael also served the Borough of Parkesburg on the Planning
Commission and as VP of Borough Council, earning a Master
Planner's Certificate and while serving, created an extensive
Shade Tree Ordinance.
