A note from Donna Vignocchi: "About 20 years ago our family sold ILT Vignocchi 's landscape facility in Prairie View Illinois, relocating into two new facilities, one in Wauconda and one in Island Lake. Our facility in Island Lake is home to our landscape production teams, mechanics and outside material storage. Our facility in Wauconda started as a corporate headquarters and has evolved, thanks to our very entrepreneurial founder, into an impressive shrub, perennial and groundcover wholesale nursery… Montale Gardens.
To those in the industry, the evolution from landscape professional to nurseryman is a natural one. Most of the companies I know have done it for a myriad of reasons…cutting costs, controlling quality, and revenue growth.
My father and I are very proud of our little sister nursery - Montale . She has the same culture and values as her big brother landscape company, those of service, fun, integrity and quality.
This winter, under the new leadership of Melisa Bell, Montale got a brand facelift. When it comes to our image (we are Italian so the vanity runs quite deep), we are emotional and opinionated, so the process was argumentative yet fun, painful yet invigorating. When all was said and done, we are all so proud of the end result. Here is a peek at the evolution, starting with my father’s original ILT logo, its next incarnation, Montale’s new logo, and their new look on display at the very popular industry trade show, ilandscape."
