Teena Garay - Sunday April 21st​ 

​

     Teena has been gardening passionately and obsessively for 33 years in Homer and 13 years prior on the Washington coast. She enjoys every aspect of gardening from collecting seed in the wild, searching out seed companies that offer seed for our zone 4/5, and growing perennials, shrubs and trees that she has started from seed or purchased from specialty and local nurseries. Teena is always thinking of how to combine everything in their proper microclimate - color, texture and bloom time. She grows a large vegetable garden for her second passion which is cooking. Teena also usies her own organic compost for fertilizer. Her first garden at 880’ elevation in Homer was featured in Sunset magazine, Horticulture magazine and the cover of Sunset’s garden design book. Her current garden at 632’ elevation has been on the Garden Tour 3 times.

     Teena will be speaking on the things she has learned gardening here in Homer. Teena will cover zones, seed starting, composting, things she grows in her vegetable garden, unheated greenhouse. This great gardener will show slides of her favorite trees, shrubs and perennials in combinations and seasons.​
