Tena van Andel has been a Toronto Master Gardener since 2005. Tena says although she’s served in several key Master Gardener leadership roles, her most rewarding volunteer experience is that of an educator and presenter. A former IMGC presenter, Tena’s topics range from orchids, balcony gardening and invasives to green roofs, houseplants, and gardening disasters. When she’s not volunteering, she’s busy rewilding a 19^th century farm property and teaching garden fitness.
