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 the garden 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.
