Telmarc Gardens: A wholly owned part of Telmarc, Telmarc Gardens is a research and development arm focusing on the development of genetic pathways for understanding flower colors and using this expertise in other areas including cancer genomics and genetic pathways. The work in this area is shown in the publications on this web site. We have learned a great deal about the pathways and are using this knowledge in our investment strategy and management support. http://www.telmarcgardens.com/

Telmarc has been actively developing and investing in medical technology and genomics areas. We believe that these may very well replace many of the more classic technology investments. We have been developing some hands on applications and seeking opportunities.
