About Janet

 

Janet is the owner and creative force behind two successful small businesses in the Madison Area. She started Plant Pros in 1987, after earning her horticulture degree and In 2005 she turned her passion for wool felting into Janet Marie Felted Goods. Janet's creative nature and love of working with her hands was nurtured at a young age. Raised on a small farm in Southern Wisconsin, Janet spent hours working and playing in the garden with her dad. That fondness for plants grew into her first family business, Plant Pros, where she designs and cares for interior and exterior commercial plant scapes.

Her background in landscape and floral design translated easily into fiber arts when she was introduced to wool felting in the early 2000's after taking a class at a local llama farm. She fell in love with the beauty, versatility, and durability of wool and began taking classes with felters and dyers from around the world. While honing her felting and dying skills Janet began doing local art & craft fairs and Janet Marie Felted Goods was born. Since then, Janet has grown her one woman show to a team of people who help create items that fill shops around the country, from small boutiques to Fortune 1000 & S&P 500 companies. She has also had the unique opportunity to collaborate with and develop handmade products for international retailers like Antropologie and Terrain. Janet enjoys teaching classes in her spare time to connect with others who share her creative spirit and passion for color, texture, design and eco-friendly materials.
