Whereas, with fifteen years' experience in ornamental horticulture, John Hayes, owner of Outdoor Appearance in Sumter, also specializes in the application of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers; and
Whereas, as a leader in applying a responsible, environmentally sensitive approach to landscaping in this rapidly changing field, Mr. Hayes, in cooperation with Clemson University and the South Carolina Urban and Community Forestry Division, spearheaded the development of a manual used by landscapers in studying for the Environmental Landscape Certification program; and
Whereas, using his influence as past president of the South Carolina Landscape and Turfgrass Association, he helped bring about a closer working relationship between that organization and the South Carolina Nursery and Landscape Association, thereby enabling successful joint projects and promoting professionalism within the industry; and
