Arborgold co-founder Donna Garner grew up in tree care. She has memories of her 10-year-old self riding in her dad's truck with her brothers on firewood deliveries, raking the client's lawn when her dad took her on a job and performing other tree care-related tasks.Don Francis, Donna's father, had learned the trade from his own dad. In addition to working full time as a schoolteacher, Don ran an Indiana tree care business and became an early member of the National Arborist Association, the organization that becameTCIA. Years later, Donna and her husband, Jon Garner, successfully managed their own lawn and tree-health-care business for more than 18 years, having started by servicing her dad's lawn-care customers.
