Guest Speaker: Lee Ann Downey
Topic: Growing Lavender Successfully
About: Lee Ann will cover best practices for cultivar selection, growth, pruning, pests and use.
Our Speaker’s Bio: Lee Anne and her husband own a 93-acre farm on top of the escarpment near Terra Cotta and Erin. Lee Anne knew she wanted to be living close to nature, gardening, and with chickens and beehives; she just had to convince her husband that this was a good idea! She now has over 4500 lavender plants in the ground.
Lee Anne has just stepped down as the President of the Ontario Lavender Association of the last three years, became a Master Gardener in 2022, and does consulting and speaking engagements with people interested in learning about all things lavender!
Lee Anne loves learning, particularly about plants, soil and trees, but has now realized the more she learns, the less she knows.
