Bio
Candace Dressler is a Master Gardener who has been gardening for over 40 years, now she gardens on her half acre property in Ottawa. She started gardening so she could have a supply of fresh herbs. She branched out to vegetables with some flowers and now grows mixed borders with lots of herbs, flowers and some vegetables throughout. More and more she is introducing native plants as they bring the pollinators in, improving everything in her garden. Candace joined her local Horticultural Society in 2005.
