She started out just planting a few tubers and gradually increased her garden to 200 plants. She is moving to a different house soon, so she's excited to see how many get planted this season. Jennifer became interested in horticultural judging and went through 3 levels of training to become a senior dahlia judge. She trained through the BC Council of Garden Clubs to become a horticultural and Floral Design judge. That wasn't enough, so she took the Rose judging course through the Canadian Rose Society and the Vancouver Master Gardeners course. She is experienced growing on the coast, but with her daughter having lived in Kelowna for 18 years, she is also familiar with a lot of the growing conditions in the Okanagan.
