Sharon’s family have a long history in the greenhouse industry. She doesn’t remember when gardening wasn’t part of her life.

She and her husband, Dan, had many adventures, like growing a tropical cut flower farm on the island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, and then became part owners of the family greenhouse. During their 20+ years there, Sharon wore many hats, including perennial production, seeding, and marketing and retail strategizing with Dan.

In this current phase of her career, Sharon uses her experiences to mentor professional growers, home gardeners, and children. She writes a blog on her website, which has spilled over into in-school field trips, group speaking, workshops, and encouraging prairie gardeners. She is also a contributing writer for Proven Winners’ blog, Cold + Bold Canada™
