About Joanna Blanchard

Joanna Blanchard has been a member of the Toronto Master Gardeners for just over 15 years. She was introduced to horticulture and gardening almost from birth, since her father was a botany professor and her mother a plant pathologist! Throughout her childhood the talk at the dinner table was often about plants, and visiting gardens and garden centres were part of daily life. 

Despite her best teenaged efforts to repel the gardening bug she was unsuccessful! 

As soon as she came to Canada from the UK, she got going with houseplants, flower boxes and books about plants. Moving into a house with a garden expanded the possibilities, and her gardening efforts have progressed from there. 

After several decades of gardening successes and many failures, she loves to share her passion for all things horticultural. 

Joanna is a past Coordinator of the Toronto Master Gardeners and past President of the Leaside Garden Society. She is a member of the Greater Toronto Bulb Society and has a particular love for the early spring bulbs that brighten our lives after a long, cold winter.
