Mario Pannone, Cheshire native and co-founder of Trans-Plant Gardening Services, launched his new business this spring to help individuals cultivate their own gardens. The Wallingford high school teacher teamed up with his friend and colleague, Charles Scalesse, to provide the area with made-to-order vegetable gardens and all the accompanying services.
“We basically show customers how to be self-sustainable,” Pannone said. “And, lucky for us, no one was yet offering the service.”
Trans-Plant Gardening Services allows both plant novices and experts to personally select the vegetables for their gardens. Pannone and Scalesse also till the garden, install the plants, and test and enrich the soil. The company provides follow-up services such as weeding and transplanting."
