Susan Schrader

Susan Schrader won’t tell you this herself, but in many ways, she’s the motor that keeps Gardner Design moving.

Invoicing, receivables, payroll—the buck literally stops with her.

Susan is also our head of first impressions. She’s the friendly voice on the other end of the phone and the smile readily greeting you at the door. She’s a true family person, whether it’s her Gardner family or her own family complete with amazing children and grandchildren.

Like the rest of us, Susan is a creative at heart. Whenever time and weather allows, you’ll find her flexing her horticulture muscle in her greenhouse, nurturing a multitude of flowers and plants to full beauty. She’s also a talented mosaic artist who hand-picks and cuts glass to create gorgeous custom pieces for family and friends.
