All things that grow- growing plants, growing a deeper connection with the land, growing a greater sense of food security
I have been growing plants since the age of 8 when my mom entrusted me with her seedlings each spring. In my adult years my work with plants formalized through:
-2 summer apprenticeships at Nature’s Way Farm in Northern Alberta where I helped establish a successful vegetable CSA (Community Shared Agriculture);
-3 years working as the Urban Farm Manager at the Hope Blooms Community Garden in Halifax, NS, where I taught kids and adults how to grow and provide food for their community. In 2013 I helped support 7 of these youth successfully pitch their fresh herb dressings on CBC's Dragon's Den (https://hopeblooms.ca/stories-bloom/dragons-den-pitch/);
-Organic Master Gardener certificate (2011, Gaia College);
-Growing Food certificate (2012, Gaia College) and;
-Chartered Herbalist (2014, Dominion Herbal College)
Over the years, I have gained deep respect and reverence for all things green and growing. I believe that when we dig our hands into the earth we become more connected with ourselves and the spaces we are privileged to call home. Through my background in organic gardening and anti-oppressive social work, I help guide people into greater understandings of our connections with plants and food.
