"I continue to pursue organic & biodynamic Gardening as a passion. My love of farming has been a thread that has continued throughout my life. I grew up in the Niagara area where the farm was a part of my daily life. At the age of 16, I had a summer job working on a vineyard, & have been working on farms & gardens ever since.

My training in farming began by apprenticing under Arline Mills of Niagara Herb Farm, where I learned organic gardening. After two years, I then apprenticed under Manfred Palmer of both Carrville Community Gardens and Snowball Gardens. Under Manfred, I learned biodynamic gardening & subsequently took over the role of Head Gardener at the CCG.

I am pleased to offer organic & biodynamic garden consulting for gardens big or small. Allow me share what I know, while gardening with you.

In addition to regular organic practices, I bring the following:

BD Preparation Sprays are homeopathic sprays that can be applied to balance & boost vital energies in gardens to create a healthy living environment.

Ashing of Insects can repel insect predators from the vicinity of your garden.

Ashing of Seeds can reduce the fertility of weed seeds in your garden, leaving more room for the plants you desire to be there!

Tea Spraying has been well researched by Maria Thun. Different teas can boost sweetness in crops, resistance to disease, increase the rate of photosynthesis, decrease weeds & even increase the temperature of a area, if need be.

In addition to these services, I bring a wealth of organic & biodynamic theory & other practical biodynamic skills."
