Theresa Schrum
Founded in 2001, ETLC was the brain child of Theresa Schrum and
Shannon Pable who wanted to provide their clients with
alternatives to the "cookie-cutter" landscapes so pervasive in residential and commercial designs. Often these
landscapes contained non-native invasive plants that caused damage to nearby ecosystems as well as plant material
not suited to our soil and climate. We wanted to offer our clients landscapes that were easy to maintain, drought-resistant and
environmentally-friendly by using suitable native plant alternatives.
For 8 years until her move to Montana in June, 2009, Theresa Schrum could be heard every Saturday
morning with Walter Reeves
on Atlanta's AM750 WSB Radio "Lawn and Garden Show" from 6-10 AM.
A fourth generation gardener, Theresa has a B.S. in Biology and an M.S.
