In this episode, Laurie Duthie sits down with Katey Romence of Romence Gardens & Greenhouses to talk about stepping into leadership within a multi-generation family business and what it means to teach the next generation the craft, care, and attention to detail that gardening demands.

From sunshine, soil, and water to the day-to-day work behind the scenes, Katey shares how growth happens by working side by side with her amazing team. Hoping to all learn through experience, passing down knowledge, and building a team that takes pride in every plant and every project.

Then, the challenge flips.

The KT Takeover is on—and this time, Laurie is the one on the clock. Guided by Katey and her team, she steps into Kristie’s yard to take on the project herself, putting those lessons into action and discovering firsthand what it really takes to bring a vision to life.

It’s a story about leadership, learning, and building roots that last—by growing people just as much as gardens.
