<p>Eric has worked at Telly's since 1990. His mastery of the written language has awarded him numerous articles in Michigan Gardener and hundreds of entries in our advertisements and website. I have had the pleasure of traveling with Eric extensively. Together we have visited plant places from the east coast to the west, and explored the vastness of China.</p>
<p>Eric has attended many of horticulture's celebrated gatherings where I have seen him befuddle/bewilder some of the industries most knowledgeable experts. His responsibilities at Telly's&nbsp; include the acquisition and propagation of new plant material. (Eric is constantly inroducing us to new plants.) He manages our Tropicals and Hard Goods departments (everything that's not a plant), administers&nbsp;the Telly's website, maintains and sells our poinsettia crop, and oversees our computerized point of sale system. In his spare time, he indulges in miniature gardening, the development of &quot;TellyVision&quot;, and is an international award winning glass artist with works on file with the Corning Glass Museum.</p>
<p>Needless to say, Eric's broad range of talents continue to help make Telly's what you experience today. I think Eric has worked almost every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the last couple of decades, so it's likely that you have been helped by him in your last visit or two. His uncanny knowledge of annuals, tropicals, and woody plants will continue to amaze us for years and years. The same goes for his sense of humor.
