For 20 years, he has led teams to plant and establish the vision for two of South Carolina's major botanical gardens. He also designs gardens for homes, museums, and businesses and has established multiple internship programs. Jenks is also the author of numerous books. He lives with his husband and family on an 18th-century South Carolina farm, now the site of a pioneering mail order nursery specializing in organically grown plants of the genus Crinum. For MUCH more, please visit jenksfarmer.com.
