Sharon, affectionately nicknamed Avespa (the wasp) by her teammates, is the Maintenance Division Director at Webb Landscape. With over 20 years in landscaping and a wealth of knowledge, she is a sought-after expert in flower bed design and plant selection. Before Webb Landscape, Sharon lived on the west coast and then in Wyoming, where she learned her craft. Her passion for this field is apparent to those around her and she takes immense pride in her team and the excellent quality they produce. She will be the first to tell you Webb is an employee-owned company and its long-term success in the Wood River Valley can be attributed in large part to the dedication of Webb’s owners (the employees!). Sharon loves to be outdoors in her spare time, mountain biking, gardening, and camping with her partner, Brian, and their beloved pit bull mutt, Snoop Dawg.
Gail Taylor was born and raised in Twin Falls, yet frequented the Wood River Valley over the years prior to moving to Ketchum in 2024. Her interest in working with plants began in the summer of 2000, working at the Kelley Garden Center in Twin Falls. This experience is where she “fell in love with the industry” and while she worked other jobs over the years, she always found herself “returning to plant life!” Gail began working for the Webb Twin Falls Garden Center 2021. Under the mentorship of Manager Jenny Nauman, she took advantage of opportunities to learn and grow and expand her garden center position. She eventually decided that Ketchum was the best place for her to “spread her wings” professionally, taking on the role as the Garden Center Manager in February of 2024. Her favorite part about the job is working with so many great customers and co-workers. And of course, “the flowers!” When Gail is not working at Webb, she can be found spending time with family in the outdoors.
Jenny Nauman has been a resident of the Magic Valley for several years. She joined the Webb family five years ago when Becky Marshall recruited her to become Ketchum’s Garden Center Manager, and then Jenny transferred to the Twin Falls location in 2016 as the Garden Center Manager. As a child, Jenny recalls her punishment was to weed her mother’s flower gardens. “I weeded a lot.” Somehow, she turned this experience into a love of flowers, gardening, and creativity, which is evident in the Twin Falls Garden Center. She thoroughly enjoys helping customers to create beautiful spaces inside and outside of their homes. When not working with her Webb family or customers, Jenny enjoys raising teenagers, mountain biking, vintage campers, and a “campfire surrounded by friends old or new!”
Originally from Utah, Amanda Batty moved to the Wood River Valley in 2017 after she and her husband met Doug Webb in Southern Utah, who talked them into relocating from the desert to an area of snow, outdoor opportunities and an “amazing community.” Amanda grew up gardening, but her real passion for plants came after studying permaculture and creating sustainable self-sufficient ecosystems. This is her real “form of art!” Amanda began working in the Bellevue Garden Center in July of 2023 and quickly found herself promoted into her current role as the Garden Center Manager. Her favorite part of her role is working in the greenhouse mid-February “in a t-shirt with my wonderful co-workers who make Webb feel like a family.” When not at Webb, Amanda can be found playing with her daughter, River, in the garden, snowboarding and camping.
