I have been gardening for the past 30 years. I love intermixing flowers with herbs and vegetables in my urban backyard. I came across the Master Gardener group in 2018, and that led me to pursue more courses at Dalhousie University to refresh and expand my knowledge of plants and garden techniques. I am looking forward to having a chance to inspire young gardeners through sharing my experiences.
