Palmer is a southern gal who has been with Turf Trade for a year, yet it feels to us like she’s been sniffing out new places and faces forever. She believes the turf industry takes itself too seriously and that we all need to lighten up, lay back and wait for a good belly rub. When she’s not napping on the job, you’ll find Palmer making the rounds spending quality face time with the team. Because not only is Palmer a great leader, but she’s also quite the follower of anyone with treats in their hand.
