July General Meeting: Guest Speaker Tina Cesaroni, "Fascinating Canadian Flora"

Master Gardener Tina Cesaroni invites us to celebrate our Canadian uniqueness this evening. Together, we will tour Canada, from coast to coast to coast, and celebrate our gardening diversity. Along the way, we will learn about unusual plants native to our many varied growing regions.

A Toronto Master Gardener since 2011, Tina hosts the podcast, The Garden Shift, featuring conversations that blend science, story, and heart, to help listeners rediscover their places in nature and the hope that grows there. Tina's interests lie in ecological gardening, specifically learning and sharing critical information about plants that benefit and support wildlife. She is originally from the UK, where she first trained in horticulture and garden design.
