This will be a hybrid meeting offered in person and via Zoom for those unable to attend.

Guest Speaker: Sean James

Topic: It Doesn’t End in August - Extending Interest in the Garden

Named by Landscape Ontario as 2020 and 2021’s Garden Communicator of the Year, gardening has been Sean James’ hobby and profession for almost 40 years.

A graduate of Niagara Parks School of Horticulture, a Master Gardener, writer, and teacher, Sean focuses on eco-gardening techniques, which makes sense since he grew up surrounded by nature near Crawford Lake in Campbellville.

Sean has spoken from the Maritimes to Seattle and landscaped from Nova Scotia to California. Sean was part of creating the new Ontario Landscape Tree Planting Guide, the Grow-Me-Me-Instead guide, the Ontario Horticultural Apprenticeship Curriculum, the National Red Seal Occupational Standard, and the Master Gardeners Reference Manual.

Sean has participated in chairing the Environmental Stewardship Committee for Landscape Ontario, the Environmental Committee for the Perennial Plant Association, moderating the Master Gardeners of Ontario Facebook page, judging the All-American Selections garden competition and Hamilton’s Monarch Awards. He has been the Ontario spokesperson for Garden Days Canada, has appeared on many radio shows and on television.

Sean owns ‘Sean James Consulting & Design’ and instructs at Mohawk College.
