Robert manages perennials and greenhouse operations at Artistic. Armed with a Horticultural college degree from Poland, Robert joined Artistic in 1987 and for many years worked under Mrs. Schmitz's guidance developing solid knowledge of perennials, their propagation and growing techniques. A couple of years ago, during the winter months, Robert started series of gardening workshops, open to the public and in several Ottawa Public Library locations. In spring through fall you may see one of these presentations opened to the public at Artistics's own "Gingko room in the new boutique. One of Robert's favourite topics is "Colour your garden with perennials". During the season you will find him the perennial section of the nursery.
