About Us

For TJ, a love of the outdoors is a family legacy. His connection to the land extends back to generations of farmers and stonemasons. TJ founded Outdoor Images, Inc. on a combination of hands-on experience (he has been landscaping since age 13), agricultural business and landscape design education at NC State, and commitment to be a steward of the earth. He draws ongoing inspiration from his own garden, world travel and long-term relationships with his clients and their land.

Wendy Husted

co-owner

 


With a background in education and instructional technology, Wendy regards nature as a great teacher. Whether as a child in her parents’ garden or as head of her own classroom, gardening has been a doorway to valuable lessons – from science to character-building. Now her interest and love of the outdoors come together with an entrepreneurial spirit inspired by her parents who ran a small business. Together she and husband TJ plan the vision for Outdoor Images, Inc.

Suzan Free

container garden designer

 


Suzan’s love of gardening dates back to her childhood, when her mother fostered a curiosity about the natural surroundings. Since that time, Suzan has added practical knowledge to her passion through work at a landscape nursery in the North Carolina mountains and on staff at Outdoor Images, Inc. As a designer, she joins an innate love of plants with the desire to create a thing of beauty for others to enjoy.
