Eddie Cohen recently celebrated a huge accomplishment of his 20 year anniversary employed at Minders Wholesale Nursery! Minders Nursery is a family owned, and independently operated ground cover company focused on growing quality plants in Lancaster County. At Minders, Eddie is a Plant Potting Specialist! He has learned so much over the years and is able to explain to anyone what makes a good root that is appropriate to plant and sell! After Eddie puts the plants into soil and small pots, he fills up crates and then stacks them onto a shelf to be transferred to the next department to be sold. He gets his job done quickly and is incredibly diligent in his work. He is the true example of if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. He always has a smile on his face while on the job, laughing along with his coworkers!
The owner, Mike Minder, explained that his father hired Eddie 20 years ago and now he could not imagine Eddie not being there with him as he took over the family business. They were happy to celebrate Eddie’s accomplishment as they threw him a pizza party, with a cake and many congratulations! Mike’s goal is to keep his business a family focused company and just about everyone who works for Minders described the environment as one big family. When Eddie was asked how he felt about working 20 years at Minders, his response was, “Here’s to 20 more!” His direct supervisor, Doug, has worked for Minders even longer than Eddie and he stated how proud he was of Eddie as he has had the opportunity to watch him grow up throughout the last 20 years.
Eddie has even taken the skills he learned at work into his personal life as he is sure to keep a well-maintained garden at his home! Eddie is a loyal and hardworking individual who found his home away from home in is work environment!
