Education: Becky has a degree in music education from Virginia Commonwealth University. Brent attended both Roanoke College and Old Dominion. “He studied business, which he hated,” says Becky.

Mentors: Brent says he learned a lot from J.C. Ralston, former director of North Carolina State University’s arboretum. Ralston shared his plant knowledge with anyone who stopped long enough to listen, says Brent. “He had enthusiasm that was hard to top.”
