For my fellow gardeners and those of you who are looking for help with your plants and planting:

I am a member of the Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton (MGOC)*, a group of volunteers who offer free, authoritative and unbiased gardening advice to the public. I also have decades of “hands-in-the-dirt” experience, have studied post-secondary horticulture and plant science, and continue to upgrade my skills every year through technical training.

Click the links to find:

• links to my gardening advice articles, in MGOC’s “Trowel Talk” newsletter, Fifty-Five Plus magazine and the Ottawa Citizen/Sun newspapers.
• the opportunity to browse “Trowel Talk” and the MGOC website. Each one is rich with ideas, advice and gorgeous photos – I guarantee you will come away with at least one new gardening tip that you can use! PLUS it’s free to subscribe!

* Master Gardeners are volunteer, non-profit organizations established throughout Canada and the United States. Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton is one of 38 Master Gardener groups in Ontario
