Gardener in Barrie, Ontario

I'm an
Individual
Hello! I'm Kate, a gardener based in Barrie, Ontario. I am new to MeetAGardener, but not to gardening! Gardening has been a lifelong passion of mine, rooted in the family garden I grew up with and nurtured through years of hands-on experience and education. I recently graduated from the University of Guelph with a degree in Environmental Science, specializing in ecology and botany. I approach gardens as living ecosystems and love helping people create beautiful, resilient spaces that support both people and nature. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in many different settings—from designing and planting large native gardens for ecological restoration projects in Ontario, to getting my hands dirty on a regenerative farm in British Columbia, to helping maintain a working garden and farm on a property in Santorini. These opportunities have given me experience and knowledge in weed and invasive species management/removal, garden design and consultation, plant identification and selection for unique environments. I’m equally comfortable with vegetables, flowering plants, native plant landscapes, and edible gardens, and I enjoy both the creative design process and the detailed care it takes to maintain thriving outdoor spaces. Whether you're looking to build a pollinator-friendly garden, start a veggie patch, restore your property, need support with property clean-ups, or simply need help weeding and watering, I’d love to lend a hand.
