About VitaliTree

Jason Sharman, Owner
VitaliTree, LLC is an outgrowth of Jason's lifelong passion for plants. A native of Bournemouth, England and an extensive traveler, Jason's first professional experience with plants occurred over several years on a kibbutz (agricultural project) in Israel.

In the U.S., Jason worked his way up from landscaping projects, where his passion and dedication earned him tutelage from Vaughn Banting, one of the foremost bonsai masters in the United States.

As the greenhouse manager/horticultural coordinator for Sea World Orlando, visitors routinely commented on the luxurious, unusual hanging basket displays he designed and instructed his crew to create. So much so that he was sent to train other staff in Tampa.

As the horticultural manager at the University of Central Florida Arboretum, he created many firsts: the first biogeographic gardens, the first public bonsai display, and the first arboretum taxonomic catalog. He also provided plant taxonomy and biology instruction to undergraduates, and instruction on the art of bonsai to art students. Additionally, he assisted in many controlled burning programs at the arboretum and in state parks throughout Central Florida.

Prior to VitaliTree, Jason was the Plant Health Care Manager for the Bob Ray Tree Company. He continues to give arboriculture-related presentations to groups throughout Louisville.

Jason lives in Louisville, KY with his wife, his dog, and his cat. He spends every waking moment immersed in the world of plants and trees, to the benefit of his clients.

Several people have expressed interest in Jason's bonsai. Here is a small gallery...
