Franz Palisoc is an architecture graduate from the University of Santo Tomas College of Architecture. During the pandemic, he decided to play a role in the family business which is involved in the plant trade business.
Rona’s Garden was established back in 1970 by Palisoc’s grandfather, Rene, and his wife, Monette. Equipped with the knowledge and experience from running Bulacan Garden Corporation, they started a small gardening stall in Farmer’s Market, Cubao.
“They decided to name the garden after their firstborn, my mom, Rona. With hard work, perseverance, passion, and love for building relationships with people, they were able to successfully grow the business,” Palisoc said.

There are some instances in life where we take a different path from the initial course planned. Take, for instance, Franz Palisoc. As an architecture graduate from the University of Santo Tomas College of Architecture, many would assume that he would be pursuing a career in the particular course. But that’s not the case.
Instead, Palisoc is currently handling the marketing and management of their family business, Rona’s Garden Inc.
“Our family has been in the plant trade industry for decades, as forerunners in the industry. Rene, my grandfather and founder of the company, is one of the pioneers in the plant trade and landscaping industry as he is one of the founders of Bulacan Garden Corporation, which led the industry for many years,” Palisoc said.
