“- A passionate collector of miniature Hostas"
EventsI have been gardening for almost 40 years and my passion grew so much in the early years that my thirst for plant knowledge exploded. I joined several gardening societies and associations, served as a director on several boards, attended almost every lecture related to gardening being offered in Toronto, subscribed to every gardening magazine, and watched every gardening TV show. I obtained my Horticultural Certificate through the University of Guelph many years ago and attended Landscape Architecture night classes at Ryerson. I subsequently earned my Master Gardeners designation and volunteered with the Toronto Botanical Gardens for a period of time. I have propagated all kinds of plants in various ways; started seeds, rooted cuttings and even started ferns from spores. I’ve been fortunate enough to win a few city awards for my front garden. I continue to seek out new nurseries and garden centres, go on garden tours in and around the city and visit botanical gardens wherever I travel. My love of gardening continues to run deep.
Read MoreI consider myself a collector of itsy bitsy hostas. My mission is to help keep these fabulous little plants around for generations to come by collecting as many as I can find, offering tours of my gardens from time to time to give people opportunities to see all kinds of varieties in person, and by selling or trading divisions to other hostaholics and plant lovers, thus increasing their population and availability in and around the Southern Ontario region and perhaps beyond!
Private tours of my gardens in Scarborough Ontario may be available from time to time upon request, by appointment only. I often have a variety of plant divisions available for purchase throughout the growing season. I am also interested in a potential trade with others for something I don’t yet have in my collection.
