About Sue Golden, Principal

After earning her Bachelors of Science degree in Ornamental Horticulture with an emphasis in Landscape Design, Sue began her journey to nursery entrepreneurship at Fowler Nursery, where she gained an initial skillset in applied nursery management and operations. Following her early beginnings, Sue branched out individually, developing and curating her own design styles, plant selections, and custom creations for a growing base of residential and business clients.

In response to an increasing demand for her customized aquatic features, gardens, and pondscape designs, Sue created Golden Pond Water Plants, a nursery distinct from others, where creative inspiration flows through a “botanical garden”, filled with aquatic plants, displays and features, and floating islands, all of which are acclimatized to local growing conditions.

Sue has been a featured speaker at national trade conferences, garden and koi clubs, and on national and local radio programs.
