Jon Hammond (President of Advanced Nurseries, Inc.) began his career in the green industry in 1987 in the Maintenance Division at Country Club of the South Golf Course in North Atlanta. A few years later, Jon moved over to Pike’s Family Nurseries where he shortly worked his way up to share Assistant Manager responsibilities for the company’s location in Roswell, Georgia. In 1991, Jon began working at Shemin Nurseries in Alpharetta, Georgia, where he was employed for fourteen years. Jon was promoted up the ranks, assuming increasing responsibilities, and ultimately taking on the role of General Manager. Jon moved to John Deere Landscapes in 2002 as Branch Manager. At this headquarters location in Alpharetta, Jon was soon overseeing all of north metro Atlanta as Area Manager. On February 17, 2006, Jon realized a lifelong dream and started Advanced Nurseries, Inc. in Alpharetta, Georgia, where he oversees all aspects of business and operations as its President and CEO. Jon is excited about this new venture and looks forward to serving metro Atlanta as the area’s premier nursery. |
