Presenter
CINDY CLUETT OF BEYOND THE HOUSE GARDEN CENTRE
CINDY’S JOY OF GARDENING DEVELOPED AS A YOUNG GIRL WORKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH HER MOM, AND NOW THIS PASSION SHINES THROUGH ALL ASPECTS OF HER WORK AND PERSONAL LIFE. STARTING OFF IN THE INDUSTRY WHILE COMPLETING HER BUSINESS DEGREE AT OTTAWA UNIV. SHE SOON REALIZED THAT WORKING IN AN OFFICE SETTING WAS NOT WHAT MADE HER HAPPIEST. IN HER EARLY THIRTIES AND WHILE OFF ON MATERNITY LEAVE, CINDY BEGAN TAKING CLASSES AT ALGONQUIN COLLEGE AND COMPLETED HER DIPLOMA IN HORTICULTURE. HER FIRST JOB IN THE HORTICULTURAL FIELD WAS RUNNING A GARDEN CENTRE FOR THE LOCAL HOME HARDWARE. SHE QUICKLY DISCOVERED THAT ALL THINGS PLANTS MADE HER VERY HAPPY. WITHIN 5 YEARS, SHE HAD LAUNCHED BEYOND THE HOUSE. THE NEW LOCATION IS IN ITS 12TH YR AND HAS SEEN TREMENDOUS GROWTH. SHE PRIDES HERSELF ON HER STAFF, MOST OF WHOM HAVE BEEN WITH HER FROM THE VERY START.
THE ENTIRE TEAM AT BEYOND THE HOUSE STILL GETS SUPER EXCITED ANY TIME A NEW SHIPMENT OF PLANTS ARRIVES. CINDY HAS NOT LOST HER LOVE FOR GARDENING AND EMPOWERING OTHERS TO LOVE IT AS MUCH AS SHE DOES.
