About Jenny's Farm

Jennifer has been playing in the dirt a long time. She completed a Diploma in Horticulture (with Distinction) from the University of Guelph and is currently a Master Gardener with the Grey County Master Gardeners. Jennifer is from Mississauga but spent 10 years in Guelph and relocated to Owen Sound in 2019 to be closer to the outdoor activities on the Bruce Peninsula.  Also a Registered Veterinary Technician, Jennifer generally enjoys caring for living things. She is a yoga enthusiast and enjoys spending time in her own gardens with her 3 bearded collies.

After becoming involved with the Master Gardeners, Jennifer gained a new appreciation for the value of eco-responsible gardening and the importance of working with native plant species. This philosophy colours her approach to gardening in terms of plant selection, avoidance (and encouraging removal of) known or likely invasive species, clean-up techniques, and involvement with local environmental groups such as Pollinate Owen Sound. 

In 2024, Mr. Deeks (Ian) became a regular fixture on the team. He started as an extra pair of hands and is now a solid gardener in his own right. If you need digging or tree trimming, he's your guy!
