Bio
Aging, round, humour in a nutshell
I was a Chef for over 20 years, Blacksmith, Horse trainer, Riding instructor but the ones you want to know is that I had my own Garden maintance business for way too long, 40+ years and my clients were in majority, seniors, I am also a trained Horticultural and Design judge, so yes I know a little about a whole bunch of plants, was also OHA Director of District 6, currently back on the board as 2nd VP.
Officially retired from all the paying jobs, but you know once a volunteer always a volunteer. Still the admin on a few Facebook pages, Gardenontario, D6 & Haldimand.
I sit on the GCO & OHA Judges groups where we review, and answer judges’ questions and we host judges updates which keep the active judges current with changes and the rules fresh in their minds.
My moto I strive to maintain is; if you can’t see the humour in what you are doing,
Why are you doing it?
