Ariel Pund
Owner and youngest of the Pund family. Ariel graduated with two degrees from Hiram College in Biology and Environmental Studies. Ariel is no stranger to research - reading constantly to stay up to date on all the plants used frequently in Ohio and the things that may plague them, or signs that they may need more nutrients, water or sun. A firm believer that the plants will tell you what they need, sheβs happy to discuss what the plants are saying and which ones are going to thrive in your landscape. If you have a certain style or a goal image for your landscape, sheβs happy to discuss which plants can help you achieve that vision.

Lori Pund
Lori is the matriarch of the Pund family. While sheβs still learning about all the plants, trees, and shrubs Whirlwind has to offer, she really excels at fitting all your purchases into your car. Whether you have a large SUV and are taking home a couple of flowers, or you have a tiny sedan and youβre taking home a 20 gal. treeβ¦ sheβs got you covered. Partial to anything that is purple, sheβs happy to point you to the βpretty roomβ where we keep our vibrant annuals.

Luna
Luna is our supervisor here at Whirlwind. Her skills include bringing squeaky gifts into the greenhouse and going for rides on the shopping wagons. Some days she is friendlier than others, but she is always close by whether you see her or not.

Alfie
Alfie is the youngest and newest member of the Whirlwind family. While he will undoubtedly make his presence known with his deep bark, he is a lovebug at heart. If you get the chance to meet him, he will likely give you both a hug and a kiss.
