Eric "The Turf Teacher" Jones and Jennifer "The Turfette" Jones are the voices behind Keeping Up with the Joneses—your go-to podcast for the Green Industry. Whether we're interviewing industry leaders, broadcasting live from the nation's top trade shows, or sharing real-world business and horticultural expertise, our mission is simple: educate, inspire, and help you grow.

From practical tips and proven techniques to leadership, business strategy, and continuing education, every episode is designed to equip landscape contractors, irrigation professionals, pesticide applicators, and green industry entrepreneurs with the knowledge they need to succeed.

Eric is a Professor of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, while Jennifer is a Horticulturist and Business Consultant. Together, they own Elite Landscape Contractors, Inc. and Turf Teacher University, LLC, where they provide online continuing education, live webinars, seminars, consulting, and media dedicated to advancing the Green Industry.

When they're not teaching, podcasting, or working in the field, Eric and Jennifer enjoy life on their North Carolina strawberry farm with their five children, five dogs, and a shared passion for serving the Green Industry through education, relationships, and faith.
