BRIAN AUSTIN
Head Grower
My name is Brian Austin and I am the head grower at Dutch Heritage Gardens.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Horticulture and in Landscape Horticulture from Colorado State University. I’ve been with the company for eight years; this is my third year as head grower.
I chose DHG because I saw Aaron as an innovator in the green industry, always striving to stay on the cutting edge of growing. At DHG, we are readily provided with everything needed to grow as a business, and that is what makes working here so enjoyable. As the head grower, I oversee all aspects of growing. From planting seeds and cuttings, to making sure things are growing on schedule, to watering, to fertilizing, to pest management, to managing all of the people involved in these processes, it is my responsibility to ensure a consistently high level of plant quality.
Growing up in the greenhouse business, I have always wanted to be a head grower. Working at DHG has been a lifelong dream come true. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family. We love spending as much time as we can outdoors hiking, fishing, camping, and hunting. I also enjoy working on projects at home on my five acre mini-ranch.

ERIC DECAMP
Logistics Manager
I was born and raised in Downers Grove, IL, a suburb of Chicago. During high school, I ran cross country and competed in pole vault for the track and field team. My family has always been involved with the outdoors. In 1997, I completed the Eagle Scout rank in the Boy Scouts. The outdoors is a big reason I moved to Colorado and the main reason I’ll never move back.
I started working for DHG a couple of years back. I had been a server and a bartender for the 15 years prior to finding DHG. I was looking for something I could apply my science background towards. After taking and enjoying multiple courses in biology, geology, astronomy, and chemistry, I quickly realized the agriculture industry was my calling.
Two of my more centralized roles at DHG include operating the sow line and helping with logistics. I am responsible for ensuring the seed crop is planted according to a predetermined schedule. On the logistics end, I am responsible for unloading supplies and materials being delivered to the greenhouse, as well as exporting the fully grown plants via our trucks to the appropriate retail outlets.
The thing I love most about working for Dutch Heritage Gardens is the people I’m surrounded with. It’s not only my coworkers, but also the people that buy our products. Everyone around me loves plants and flowers. Being surrounded by living, breathing, growing creatures brings out the best in people.
My goal for the future is to just keep learning. Every day is an opportunity to learn something new about this business.
When I’m not frolicking through the flower fields at DHG, I’m participating is several things. I love fishing, hiking, running, shooting guns and arrows, and camping. Don’t get me wrong though, I love the indoors too. I’m a huge sci-fi and fantasy fan. (GOT!) I also love my Chicago sports teams to a fault and play copious amounts of video games. GO CUBS!

It is my responsibility to ensure all plants are planted on time and are organized throughout the greenhouse during their growing period.

My personal goal is being a better version of myself each and every day.
My favorite way to spend my off time is enjoying my growing young family.
