Elaine Sanders, Solutions Jardins Founder
In 2001, I Ieft a secure job to pursue my passion and I never looked back. I attained my Diploma in Gardening and Landscaping with Honours in 2000, but most of what I learned about plants and landscapes, I learned through my own personal and professional gardening experience.
After meeting Ontario gardening celebrity Mark Cullen, I started my career as a Landscape Designer in the greater Toronto area . I also learned about horticulture and the gardening industry while working in an extensive rural area Greenhouse.
The country garden that I created on my half acre property in Ontario won a nation-wide contest for best border and was featured in the November 2002 issue of Gardening Life Magazine (now discontinued). It was a proud accomplishment during my new career in Landscape Design.
I also enjoy writing about gardening and landscape design (look for links to my published articles in this website) as well as educating others about gardening. Whenever time and weather permit, I continue to improve my own garden.
Gardening is my passion because it allows me to express my creativity while combining the things I love: art and nature.
Another thing I am passionate about is helping others; I have assisted children with special needs in an educative setting for over a decade and I am currently extending my career in gardening and landscaping to focus on horticultural therapy. Plants not only beautify, but also nourish and heal!
I look forward to providing creative solutions to the various gardening challenges you may face.
