Overview
"I went to college but never realized how much I didn't know about running a business."
Jay and his partner had a stable business, but it was time to grow the business, to grow their profitability. Jay chose Garden Center University. Coming from an industry background wth a degree in landscape design, GCU gave Jay the skills he needed to read the numbers, use their small site more efficiently and become more profitable. "You're not going to get that in any four year institution because no other program is specifically tailored to our industry."
