Harold and Susan Jenkins have a gift for helping things grow---plants, trees, their family, their business, their community, and their legacy for the future.
Jenkins Landscape Company has deep roots in the Hobe Sound community. Harold’s grandfather, Carl was a squash farmer in Indiana in the summer and in Jupiter Farms in the winter. His son, Harold ‘Gene’ Jenkins, inherited his same work ethics for getting dirt under his fingernails, working hard, and respecting nature. Gene partnered with Roy Rood for many years before launching his own landscape company with a focus on residential landscape installation described as “everything outside the front door.”
When Gene passed away in 1986, it was only logical that his son Harold and wife Susan Jenkins took over the business in 1988. “We had a lot of learning to do in very short order,” Harold says. “At times, Susan and I wondered what we had taken on, but we were determined to make a success of the business -- together.” Susan agrees. Originally a New Jersey girl, Susan realized that running a Florida landscaping business wouldn’t come naturally for her. “But we dove in head first,” she says, “determined to prove to ourselves and anyone who doubted us that we could do it.” And in fact, they did it! Harold became an expert in the landscape contracting industry, with a focus on design, installation and maintenance. If it grows outdoors in South Florida, Harold knows its life cycle, its preference for sun or shade, its water requirements, and the kind of nutrients that encourage its growth.
Harold is well known throughout the local community and statewide as an industry leader who is a straight shooter, gives clear answers - or searches until he’s found the solution to a question. He became heavily involved with the Florida Nurserymen’s Growers and Landscape Association (FNGLA) and well-schooled in the art of landscaping for high end residential properties. Susan meanwhile learned every aspect of running the office with the guidance of Harold’s mom, Dorothy Jenkins. “I like to be behind the scenes,” Susan says, “making sure the right things are happening. We make a good team working together.”
