Victoria Register Hunter

Director of Sales and Marketing

Hello Everyone, my name is Victoria Register Hunter and I am the Director of Sales and Marketing here at FernTrust Incorporated. I am an eighth generation Floridian and agriculturalist. I am actively involved in the Florida Farm Bureau Federation and currently serve as Vice Chair of the State Women’s Committee. With Farm Bureau I advocate for the agricultural industry in the state of Florida as a whole, with my focus being on the cut foliage and floral industry. I love working for a company that values my favorite “F words” – faith, family, and farming. I am truly blessed to be able to bring my daughter Charlotte to work with me each day. It makes me reminisce on when I was a little girl and was able to tag along with my dad, David Register, to see day to day operations, attend sales trips, and participate in floral conventions. Growing up on the farm I had the privilege to learn the farming process through my parents and grandparents. We even joke that my favorite foliage at FernTrust was named after me, Victoria’s Lace Leatherleaf. I truly believe God has placed me exactly where I need to be.


Beverli Harcus

Sales Specialist

Hello, my name is Beverli Harcus and I am FernTrust’s newest Sales Specialist. I live in Seville with my husband and two children. I went to college at Daytona State where I received an Associates of Science degree and then moved on to the dental field, where I’ve spent most of my working years. Hanging that hat up I’ve decided to join FernTrust which is a big part of our community. I’ve always enjoyed the greenery that surrounds my everyday travels. My favorite foliage is Eucalyptus. It can be used in so many ways and the smell is amazing. With that being said, I’m really looking forward to learning more about all the different types of foliage that we sell and design here at FernTrust.

Hi! My name is Margarita Hernandez, I graduated from T. Dewitt Taylor Middle High school in 2018. I started my journey at Ferntrust working in the CPD department but in 2020 I became part of the sales department. I have to say my favorite foliage is leatherleaf. As a sales assistant I make sure paperwork and labels are in order and ready to go for the shipping department. I love the process that we go through to make sure that at the end of the day our customers are happy and satisfied.

Tabbatha Heimbach

Administrative Assistant

Hello, my name is Tabbatha Heimbach and I am an administrative assistant here at Ferntrust. I am responsible for the day in and day out of our office duties. I love working for Ferntrust because they are a family owned business and they really invest and take care of their employees. Some of my favorite foliage is in eucalyptus family; silver dollar is probably my favorite. It is so beautiful and can be used with so many combinations such as bouquets, wreaths and garlands. I am blessed to live with my husband and two children in Seville and only have to make a 3 mile commute to and from work.
