I am the Instructor of permaculture at the Pacific Horticulture College and the lead steward of the public permaculture garden at the Horticulture Center of the Pacific. I hold a Permaculture Design Certificate and a Permaculture Teacher Certificate.
I received a certificate in Landscape Horticulture from the Pacific Horticulture College and was honoured to receive their Excellence in Design award.
I completed my herbalist apprenticeship at Ravensong Herbals and studied Alchemical Herbalism at The School of Evolutionary Herbalism and am now a passionate hobby herbalist.
I've studied mycology for over a decade, taking courses with world-renowned mycologists Andy MacKinnon and Paul Stamets.
I'm currently pursuing a diploma in applied permaculture through the Permaculture Institute and am working towards my Pollinator Steward Certification through Pollinator Partnership.
Practising ecological horticulture, all my designs strongly emphasize soil and water stewardship and prioritize the inclusion of native species. They also focus on the creation or preservation of habitats for beneficial wildlife such as birds and pollinators to help turn your garden into an ecosystem. Using my specialized knowledge of climate-resilient, edible, medicinal, native and pollinator-supporting plants to create visually stunning and practical landscapes that offer sustenance and sanctuary for people, wildlife, and the planet.
