Scott Daigre, AKA “Mr.Tomatomania", is a Louisiana native who comes from a long line of gardeners. Scott’s passion was “seeded” in his family garden so it truly wasn't surprising that he made a career shift from marketing executive to the garden industry in the early 1990s. It was at Hortus (a trend-setting nursery in Pasadena) that his career path intersected with TOMATOMANIA.
After branching out into garden design in Los Angeles, Scott planted “roots” in Ojai, which is now home to Tomatomania and his company, Powerplant Garden Design. When not planning seedling sales he creates beautiful gardens from Palm Springs to Santa Barbara. In addition to being a certified Tomatomaniac, he is a published author, garden educator, and is a frequent guest on radio and TV programs across the country. A speaking engagement at the Philadelphia Flower Show in March 2013 will be one of the highlights of his spring schedule.
Scott will tell us all about growing perfect tomatoes in your home garden and more about Tomatomania, the world’s largest (and most fun) tomato seedling sale.
