Info

Meet your Board of Directors!PresidentJane BeckJane is a Toronto Master Gardener having completed the designation throughthe University of Guelph. One of the things she has come to understand aboutbeing a gardener is that you are constantly learning how little you really do knowabout the subject. There’s always something that gets in the way of that perfectpicture you had painted for your garden during the winter months.Jane started her gardening on a farm in Ontario with idyllic soil; something wedon’t always have on our Toronto properties. Jane has lived and worked inEurope and that’s where she learned that Canadian gardeners really do have towork hard to garden. The harsh seasons take their toll on our efforts to createbeauty around us. Jane has been back in Canada for 6 years and owns aManagement Consulting business.Past PresidentRalph BulloughRalph Bullough has a BSc in geology, a BA in economics and a BEd in education.With this he became a Tool and Die Maker. Life leads in strange directions. Hisgardening interest probably came from his father as forced labour when he wasyoung. As a young man, Ralph made every effort to distance himself from hisfather’s projects. Later, after his father had passed away, the gardening genescame to the fore and Ralph started his long term interest in various parts ofhorticulture. Retirement pends and he hopes to devote more of his time togardening and finally catch up on all the tasks that could be done during a summerseason.TreasurerWendy FletcherWendy grew up being a natural/organic gardener, and as a child tended herparents huge vegetable garden while they were at work. Wendy took the firstprogram offered in Nova Scotia and upon graduating became the Treasurer ofMGOI, a position which she has held for six years. This position taught her howimportant Master Gardeners were and are. “We are passionate gardeners, weanswer questions and if we can’t, we research and find the answers. We are hereto help and we have fun doing it.”71
