Meet Our Chief Garden Hoe, Jen

You might be thinking, "Who is Jen and why should we let her into our beds?"

 

Jen has a sensitive, cheeky, passionate, dog on a bone character. And she likes to dance. She unsuspectingly fell in love with the art of caring for gardens in Northern California one day and knew it was love when she forgot about eating or even going inside to sleep.

 

Since then Jen has moved back home to Canada, raised four kiddos and worked odd jobs all while cultivating the art of collecting and caring for indoor and outdoor plants.

 

She has been the greenhouse manager at a successful local garden centre tending to annual, perennial and tropical plants. It was here that Jen's enthusiasm for dancing with plants in front of a camera was born. This position also included being cohost of a well-known local radio show.

 

Jen has most recently worked the greenhouse at a popular Alberta destination farm where she took part in the early spring planting of 14,000 annual hanging baskets!

​

She holds a certificate in Community Herbalism from Pacific Rim College and is currently a student in the Master Gardener Program with the Calgary Horticultural Society.

​

Jen is simply in love with life and all things alive and has a deep respect and appreciation for the energy and the magic of nature.
