Kim Tyson Cook spent two decades writing on business issues for the Austin American-Statesman before bringing her experience, curiosity, and gift for connecting with people to Exaco. Through the years, she has kept handwritten notes, stayed in touch with greenhouse owners, and remembered the stories and details behind gardens across the country. Whether finding a long-buried resource, recalling the history of a greenhouse, or reconnecting with a customer from years ago, Kim has helped turn Exaco from a company into a community.
