Meet our 2024 Victorian Tea speaker! Christopher Waruch Mann

"My passion for horticulture was sparked the day my parents took me home from the hospital back to our family Garden Center where our home is also located. During middle school and high school I worked for every family member and many customers on weekends. After completing my degree in horticulture at State University of New York, Delhi, I accepted a position in New York City as a rooftop Gardener, but soon realized I needed to have full control over my creativity and started my own company, Christopher, Glenn Gardens, in 2010.

After 10 years of working for the very rich and famous in New York City, I decided I needed to get back into what I consider “real” gardening which brought us to North Stamford. I kept my business in New York City for one year for financial reasons, and rooted myself into Connecticut. I am currently a father of a two year old boy named Oliver, who comes to work with me when it’s possible but for the most part, I have put the business on hold to be a stay at home dad. Life is as floriferous and colorful as you choose to make it."
