Master Gardener

With over two decades of dedicated service as a Johnson County Extension Master Gardener, I have contributed nearly 5,000 volunteer hours to the program since 2001. My passion for gardening was recognized when my garden was selected for the Biennial Garden Tour in 2008, which drew over 2,000 visitors. I have served in leadership roles, including Executive Board member and Board Secretary, and currently co-chair the Garden Gallery demonstration garden. In 2023, I co-chaired the Decorating Committee for the International Master Gardener Conference, where we created stunning floral displays and secured donations from local nurseries to beautify the event, which welcomed over 1,100 attendees from around the world.
