Member Spotlight: Megan Potts
We’re thrilled to celebrate Megan Potts, Landscape Designer at S&N Landscape Design, for earning her Nebraska Certified Nursery and Landscape Professional designation. This certification reflects her dedication to excellence, ongoing learning, and the highest standards of professionalism in Nebraska’s green industry.
Megan’s path into landscape design is uniquely inspiring. After spending time at home with her children, she realized her previous corporate career in Human Resources wasn’t where she wanted her future to be. She chose to pursue her passion for the outdoors, enrolling at Metropolitan Community College to earn her Landscape Design certificate. She went on to spend five years with Colorburst Landscape & Design before joining S&N Landscape Design in December 2023, where she continues to bring creativity, care, and technical expertise to every project she touches.
Her motivation to pursue certification began after joining S&N, when colleague Nancy Sohns introduced her to the opportunities available through the NNLA. Megan embraced the challenge of the exams and set her sights on success—something she has now proudly achieved. She shares that being certified empowers her to demonstrate to clients that she deeply values both thoughtful design and the plant material she recommends, strengthening the trust and confidence in her work.
For Megan, ongoing education is at the heart of professional growth. She believes strongly in taking the time to enrich one’s knowledge—something many professionals overlook in the rush of everyday work. “Learning and being knowledgeable in one's profession is very important to me,” she notes. “We often do not take the time to enrich ourselves, but I am so glad and honored to receive this certification.”
Please join us in congratulating Megan on this well-deserved achievement. Her passion, determination, and commitment to continuing education make her an invaluable member of our industry—and we can’t wait to see where her expertise takes her next.
