Tall Timbers Nursery was started 40 years ago by J. Alex
Satkowski, his wife Kathleen, and his mother Rachel. It was started on the property that his family had owned
since his childhood. Alex received a Master of Science Degree in Forestry from the State University of New York
at Syracuse as well as a Master of Science Degree in Forestry from Syracuse University. He taught polymer
chemistry at the College of Forestry at the State University of New York at Syracuse University. After a
career in teaching and a second career as the director of research for Riegel Pharmaceutical’s packaging
division, Alex decided to follow his true passion, working
with plants.
Tall Timbers began with just a few employees that were dedicated to providing the highest quality plants and the best service to it's customers in the Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton areas as well as the surrounding Greater Lehigh Valley. Each year the business continues to grow. Throughout the years, Tall Timbers has remained a family run business. Today the business is run by Alex and his children, Trexler Satkowski and Jennifer McCary and a staff of invaluable employees.
