Townships in Quebec. She owned and operated Perennial Pleasures Landscape Design, offering design,
installation and maintenance services for 20 years and taught in the Horticultural Program at Sheridan
College for 14 years.
Heinke has been an active member of Credit Valley Horticultural Society in Mississauga since 1987. She is a

things horticultural as well as floral design. She enthusiastically shares her experiences and knowledge
through lectures, demos and workshops.
