Speaker’s Brief Bio	Carrie Dubberley grew up in Dallas Texas, moved to Austin and then to Estes Park, Colorado spending five years living close to Rocky Mountain National Park where her love of nature blossomed into her life’s work. Carrie lives in Plano, Texas with her husband Don and two children. Don started working with her in 2008 to help grow the business, manage the installation/ maintenance departments and be the licensed irrigation expert. Staying involved with the client after the installation has taught us so much about how low-maintenance landscapes evolve over time.
