These days he mostly works alone, yet he and his father still compete to see who can grow the best crops. As of August, Gerard has been working for himself full time. He is the sole proprietor of Brooklyn Plant Dad, a gardening company that offers a rage of horticulture services. In the off-season Gerard travels. More recently he’s spent time in Japan and Hawaii. While in Japan he studied the art of Bonsai from a Master. In Hawaii he ate avocados from trees while restoring someone’s landscape.
