Together with my wife & father I founded and ran the mail order nursery Gardenimport from
1983 to 2014. We specialized in the introduction of many new herbaceous perennials, bulbs,
seeds, vines and shrubs to Canadian gardeners from coast to coast. During this time we
established close connections with many of the world's leading hybridizers and nurserymen.
I have taught courses on a variety of subjects at the Toronto Botanical Garden where I was on
the board of directors for 13 years and continue to volunteer there. I’ve taught at the OHA
Judges courses, Master Gardener technical updates and spoken to many horticultural societies
in southern Ontario for over 25 years, sat in for Ed Lawrence on CBC’s Ontario Today and was
the founding president of the Greater Toronto Bulb Society.
