The Garden Gate

Oct 2020

I can't speak about the actions or perceived actions of a Garden Gate employee driving a company truck on the streets of Tucson because I wasn't there to see with my own eyes what happened in the incident. We all know how quickly our emotions can get the best of us when we are driving and something happens to infuriate us. In almost all cases "the incident" is just the last straw; other things had already lit the anger fuse. I'm not excusing the employee nor blaming him, but I know the owner of the company will certainly have a discussion with him. I have had a client relationship with the Garden Gate for many years and can say, unequivocally, the owner has worked very hard to build a successful business. Every job the company does is a test of the company's well earned, long established reputation for delivering outstanding service and high quality landscaping work. Seeking to damage the reputation of a hard won business because of an emotional flare-up in traffic hardly seems like an appropriate thing to do.

The Garden Gate is a great business that does good work. All of the reviews for the actual business were very good, prior to a Karen posting something online. She says someone flipped her off in a company truck, but why would someone just do that? There's more to the story. I don’t like this whole "I saw something so everyone needs to boycott" stuff. It’s very one sided. It might be one individual. Tell Garden Gate and let them handle it. Be sure you saw what you saw. Everyone is so amped up these days that they see things that may not be what they think and then want to ruin livelihoods/businesses over it.
