How is your garden doing as the gardening season comes to an end? Best tips and lessons learned from the perspective of garden centre owner

September 23, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Mary Reid, Master Gardener and owner of the Green Thumb Garden Centre (and regular guest on the CBC weekly noon Garden Show), will share her wisdom and lessons learned that she has acquired during her busy and long career in the horticulture industry.  Her unique sense of humor will be sure to entertain you.

From teacher to banker to garden centre owner, Mary Reid matches the description of a multi-talented person.  She grew up in a family of gardeners, worked as a gardener during her summers at university, and still finds time to garden at home. Mary uses her many skills and extensive experience to run a popular and successful garden centre, the Green Thumb Garden Centre. She is a member of Landscape Ontario, a CLP (Certified Landscape Professional) and volunteers as a Master Gardener. Mary enjoys speaking to various local groups and can occasionally be heard skillfully answering questions on the CBC Ontario Today noon show on Mondays.
